Tens of thousands of vehicles pass through El Paso's borders every day.

Good grief.

Sounds like a case of racial profiling. Someone contact the ACLU.

He sounds like a terrorist to me. Why the politically correct nomenclature?

"Wyoming: Student 'obsessed with jihad'"


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Funny thing: last night I received a hate note that said: "I am appalled at the ignorance demonstrated by the intent and content of this site. Your definition of jihad is incorrect: it means 'stuggle' in arabic, not 'Holy War' (many will even say it is difficult to define)." Of course, I have never defined jihad flatly as "holy war"; at left I state that jihad means many things, and ironically, just the other day I mentioned in a post that jihad means "struggle." But don't give those who charge ignorance credit for any intelligence: the charge that non-Muslims are actually ignorant of Islam, and don't know that jihad really means nothing violent, is common from jihadist Muslims and Islamic apologists, although it flies in the face of the reality of stories like these. In the mosques, radical Muslims are preaching jihad, and they don't mean spiritual struggle -- as this young convert discovered (as he evidently embraced wholeheartedly the idea of jihad as warfare against unbelievers). From the Casper Star Tribune, with thanks to Ali Dashti:

A Wyoming Technical Institute student charged with attempting to help terrorists in Somalia reportedly said he wished he had flown a hijacked plane during the Sept. 11 attacks, federal authorities said.

Mark Robert Walker, 19, of Rochester, N.Y., had become interested in Islam at a mosque in his hometown, said one official familiar with the case, according to the Washington Post.


"He seems like a lost guy who got obsessed with jihad," the official told the newspaper.


Federal prosecutors accuse Walker of planning to supply Ittihad al Islamiya -- which wants an Islamic government in Somalia -- with night-vision goggles and bullet-proof vests. Charging documents say he used the computer of a roommate at the Laramie school, also known as WyoTech, to make the arrangements."

"Teen Terror Suspect Arrested"


Saturday, November 13, 2004


STANWOOD, Wash. 

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Months earlier, Walker caused a stir when he left a cryptic note next to his senior portrait in the 2004 yearbook, writing that his "plans for world supremacy are in order. They entail taking over Somalia (search) and working outward, but I should not divulge the exact details of my cunning strategy."


The entry also referred to Walker's "future heroic death" and offered a "death poem" with imagery of a grenade exploding and the phrase "all shall pass this world.""

Hey we gotta keep those southern borders porous so we can fill all those jobs that lazy Americans won't do for less than minimum wage and no benefits.

If a few al-Quida terror cells slip through to do a Belsan American-style, well thats the price we are all going to pay for cheap lettuce!

I actually went to school with this kid, at Stanwood High School. I graduated the year before him. He was actually a pretty smart kid when it came to academics, I only had one class with him which was chemistry and he was always the one to get the best grades and seemed to know what he was doing. It appeared to me that he never really had a whole lot of friends in school, but then again I never really knew him personally. From the time I spent with him in class, it does not surprise me at all that he would do something like this, in his free time he learned how to speak Hebrew, and seemed to know a lot about weapons and bombs.
