ANOTHER MUSLIM SNIPER? (Michelle Malkin )

ANOTHER MUSLIM SNIPER? By Michelle Malkin · July 28, 2004 05:05 PM

"Michael Wagner" is a black Muslim convert who was pulled over by an Iowa State Trooper for not wearing a seatbelt. No doubt the professional grievance-mongers are rushing to provide their pro bono services to an innocent man wrongfully profiled by racist cops. Never mind what was in his car:

A 9mm pistol Three bulletproof vests

Hundreds of rounds of ammunition

A flight simulator and a bag of flight manuals dating to 2001

A 5-foot telescope hooked to camera equipment

Night-vision goggles and a night-vision rifle scope found in a hollowed-out computer

Books written in Arabic, including the Koran, along with hundreds of pages printed from the Internet on the Iraq war and terrorism

Just as Customs agent Diana Dean pulled over Ahmed Ressam for acting nervously and conducted a vehicle search that saved untold lives by averting the Los Angeles millenium bomb plot, Iowa State Trooper Kenneth Haas decided to search Wagner's vehicle during a routine traffic stop because Wagner repeatedly gave a false name, couldn't produce an identification card, and showed signs of nervousness.

Wagner reportedly told a federal agent about "a man in San Diego who he said wanted him to shoot at trolleys there...Wagner also told the agent "he knew of activities and people involved in al-Qaida and Taliban."

Better keep an eye on this story.

Holy jihad, Batman!

I suspect we're soon going to see/hear a lot more about the sleepers among us. And there will be many we do not hear of...

I heard this story from a cop calling in Chicago morning radio. He was definitely discouraged over "homeland security" because they didn't get the report almost 2wks later.... I searched FR and didn't get any hit. Well, well...

Just another isolated incident...move along.

I wonder what GW's chances are of being reelected if a terror attack is traced to a Mexico border crossing or a Matricula card?

We are so stupid.

Kinda off topic but.... what i find interesting is the lack of response by Black Muslims to the Sudan genocide?

Can you imagine the fury if the Janjaweed militia were predominately white?

BooFrigginHoo! I'd suspect HSD wanted to follow up his information before they let every other supercop know about it...and possibly blow any further investigation into the Man's links.

Black Muslims to the Sudan genocide?

It would appear that they are not driven by ideology, but sheer love of victimhood and thuggery. No surprise really..they've been that way since the 60s.

Notice how long it took the Black Caucus of the Senate to make a statement...it was about 15 years overdue. I guess they had more pressing matters, like reparations and what next they can blame on whitey. They finally came up with a beauty...whitey is more responsible for global warming than they are. LOL No joke. Of course, reparations will no doubt follow.

I agree. That was the first I'd heard of the story. I see that FR had some archives (IOWA) covering it. The original AP story doesn't cover the good tid bits at all. The story is getting creepier every moment, but doesn't surprise me. Hey we are at war with the creeps! Let's kill them...or face the alternative.

You might be surpised to know that there is a response. It goes something like this: Slavery practiced by Muslims is really not slavery. It's not brutal and degrading like the slavery practiced by Thomas Jeffreson and other whites.

I guess this article was clear that Wagner was black and I didn't need to add that.

The first articles I read about this left me with the impression that he was a "lily white".

I knew he was American. I only asked because another poster seemed to be getting off track and started talking about the open border issue and not the fact this is another home grown terrorist who's converted to the religion of love. Personally I think the fact that Islam has taken hold in America is more of a danger than any open border! The enemy is now within and have U.S. Passports.

On the way home from the post office last night we passed by the local islamic center. Mrs SLB and I both looked at each other and said the same thing: "wonder what they are planning in there?" There were probably 12 to 15 cars in the parking lot, I never saw them have any worship services during the week before, only on Saturday and sometimes on Sunday. Maybe a potluck dinner? - I doubt it.

Yes,we have plenty of our own home-grown terrorists,I'm sure.

Sometimes I wonder what percentage of Americans that have converted are in agreement with and support of the terrorists.

Radical Islam is a culture of death.

Say it loud, say it often, and say it with authority.

Say it with the knowledge that it is true and that too few people understand this simple fact.

But don't let me tell you.

Read it in their own words right here: Culture of Death article.

Here's an excerpt:

...

Chief Palestinian Authority cleric Mufti Sheikh Ikrimeh Sabri said in an interview; "We tell them, in as much as you love life, the Muslim loves death and martyrdom. There is a great difference between he who loves the hereafter and he who loves this world. The Muslim loves death and strives for martyrdom."

Hezbollah's Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah revealed in an interview after the recent prisoner swap between Israel and his group: "We have discovered how to hit the Jews where they are the most vulnerable. The Jews love life, so that is what we shall take away from them. We are going to win, because they love life and we love death."

Tunisian intellectual Al-Afif Al-Akhdar says; "Why do expressions of tolerance, moderation, rationalism, compromise, and negotiation horrify us Muslims, but when we hear fervent cries for vengeance, we all dance the war dance? Why do other people love life, while we love death and violence, slaughter and suicide, and even call it heroism and martyrdom?"

The love of death is, to the Western mind, the most incomprehensible thing about our enemy.

The president made reference to the concept in a recent speech in which he said: "On a tape claiming responsibility for the atrocities in Madrid, a man is heard to say, 'We choose death, while you choose life.'... It is a mindset that rejoices in suicide, incites murder, and celebrates every death we mourn. And we who stand on the other side of the line must be equally clear and certain of our convictions."

President Bush summarized what it will take to defeat an enemy who loves death, even if it fell on mainly deaf ears. "We who stand on the other side of the line must be equally clear and certain of our convictions."

...

Well, Freepers, are YOU clear?

If so, make the case to all you know. The lives of you and your loved ones DEPEND on it.

impression that he was a "lily white".

A "lily white" is not a white person, but a person who has no record or ties to a particular terrorist org. Timothy McVeigh, for example, would have been a "lily white" not because he was white, but because he had no known ties to AQ. Hence, it would have been easier for him to carry out the plan, and AQ would not have been suspected in the aftermath.

They are apparently trying to recruit people of all colors without connections to AQ or even to Islam to carry out their activitiies. However, they haven't had much luck, it seems - this guy was clearly a Muslim and was cast in the DC Sniper/Portland 7 mold, and it's no surprise that he (and the woman travelling with him, another Black Muslim, whose last name was Maguire) was planning something like this.

I hope they're watching the "Nation of Islam" (Black Muslims) very carefully, but I doubt that it's possible without having Jesse show up and scream about racism.

Huh, john muhammed and now "wagner", hmm, two native born Americans, and lets not forget johnny jihad and the college kid from washington state. We also have jose padilla, but he is Puerto Rican and an American citizen.

Not a Mexican in the group, but you ignore the facts just to inject your personal predjuidice.
