Make no mistake about it, they ARE here...and its only a matter of time before "something" happens...again.

Be vigilant.

[hflynn]

This is awful. Terrorist have rights guaranteed by the US Constitution. The FBI must be stopped. </sarcasm off>

"Mawlawi, 54, is a naturalized U.S. citizen who served in the Navy for 12 years."

Let's see, infiltrate the military, politics, education, wall street, hmmmm....... anything left?!

[dagnabbit]

The BushClintonBush administration's immigration practices come home to roost.

[cripplecreek]

I'm just real glad I live in the sticks at this point.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

This wouldn't be a terrorist would it? Nahhhh....

'Janet Netters Austin sings professionally using the name J.P. Netters, sometimes appearing with her husband James Austin, who is also a professional singer and former member of the singing group the Platters'.

'On January 14, 2004, Janet Netters Austin married Mhammed Kabouchi.'

He told them he had only a shotgun. He did have a shotgun, but that was not all. Inside a locked safe, agents also found a .9-millimeter Glock handgun, a .32-caliber pistol, and a .38-caliber revolver.--

I'm surprised that this rather mundane collection wasn't described as an "arsenal", but I have no doubt it will be used to call for gun control--

It seems that the terrorists have taken a page out of the Soviet playbook. The terrorists are extremely patient in their planning. They definitely plan for the long haul. It also helps them that we are politically correct.

!

Good article! Thanks.

[concerned about politics]

What the FBI found was much more troubling: a hidden stash of loaded weapons and ammunition clips, $34,000 in cash, two pictures of Mawlawi shouldering a rocket-propelled grenade launcher, a gruesome videotape of war casualties with Arabic text and voiceover, and more than 20 passports to Morocco, Syria, Iran, and other Middle Eastern countries. ........."The government is trying to paint Mr. Mawlawi as a very dangerous person," Alden told Magistrate Pham.

Gee! Doesn't everyone have this type stuff? Why, He sound so pro-American and patriotic. Why would they think he was up to no good?(/s)

[AntiGuv]

I'm just real glad I live in the sticks at this point.

Ya, same here. The only thing that worries me from a personal standpoint is if the terrorists unleash some hideous, scabrous disease. And even that probably wouldn't get me unless the deer are contagious. :)

My wife has a 26 year old cousin that lives in Dallas and is WORTHLESS. She was approached and agreed to a marriage to a Saudi in which she receives $400 a month and a cell phone to contact the "hubby" in case officials come to her government subsidized apartment.
I called the FBI office in Dallas, the woman I spoke with was less than concerned.

[dennisw]

Like a tethered goat they (Jihadists) spend all day trying to figure out a way to get into your garden

Congressman refuses to probe illegal alien
terrorist cell in his own district

January 28, 2005 - Despite widespread news reports linking Moroccan Muslims to worldwide terrorism, Florida Congressman Ric Keller (R-8-FL) has declined to call for a formal FBI or Government Accounting Office (GAO) investigation of Orlando Homeland Security official Mary Schneider's concrete evidence of green card bribery of immigration officials by illegal Moroccan Muslims linked to a terrorist cell in Keller's central Florida congressional district--the hub of Sunshine State tourism and airline traffic.

Our interview with the Orlando immigration adjudication officer revealed that Keller, who is a member of the House Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism and Homeland Security told Mary Schneider "your problem is not a matter within the purview of a federal agency." Full Story

"It is a certain fact that not all Muslims are terrorists, but it is equally certain,and exceptionally painful, that almost all terrorists are Muslims..."

Holy War on the Home Front:
The Secret Islamic Terror Network in the United States

(An excerpt) FROM THE PUBLISHER

"Nearly three years after 9/11, the war on terror is far from over. In fact, a leading terrorism expert argues that despite the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the efforts of the Department of Homeland Security, we're not really any safer at all.

Harvey Kushner, a respected adviser to the FBI, the FAA, the INS, and other government agencies, offers frightening new evidence of a unified Islamic terrorist network that is operating inside the United States and planning new opportunities to strike.

Kushner identifies and assesses the violent plans of these Islamic organizations and individuals who take advantage of our reluctance to engage in ethnic profiling. He supports his claims with never-before-seen documents from top-level government sources, exposing a secret network of Arab intelligence agencies, terrorists, university professors, corrupt imams and other religious leaders, and violent criminals.

Some members of this network are recent immigrants; others have been American citizens for years. Some are laundering money from abroad through seemingly innocuous charities and mosques. Some have even infiltrated our military as Arabic translators and Muslim chaplains..."

The influential Washington-based Center for Security Police recently unveiled a groundbreaking report entitled, "Terrorism Investments of the 50 States."   This report analyzes the investment portfolios of America's leading public pension funds.  The key finding of the report is that America's 87 largest and most influential pension systems invest some $200 billion in companies that provide revenues, advanced technology, equipment and moral cover to governments that enable terrorism.  (This detailed report and related materials can be obtained at www.DivestTerror.org.)

To be sure, there is nothing illegal about investing in any of the roughly 400 companies that partner with our enemies' friends.  Nor is it illegal for such companies to do business with terrorist-sponsoring regimes.  Whether the law prohibits such activities or not, however, we believe most Americans will agree with us that they are wrong â?" wrong morally, wrong strategically and wrong financially. 

Consequently, DivestTerror.org offers a "how-to" manual showing ways in which investors, taxpayers and other citizens can bring pressure to bear to convert this $200 billion investment into leverage that can be used to help defeat terrorism.  Reduced to its essence, the idea is this: By divesting the stock of these companies, public pension systems, university endowments and even individual investors can send a powerful message to the companies that provide life-support to many of the planet's most dangerous regimes. You can choose to continue to partner with rogue state regimes that aid and abet terrorism.  Or you can do business with American investors and capital markets.  But you can no longer do both. 

As the DivestTerror.org website makes clear, divestment campaigns have already proven to be highly effective instruments.  In fact, over the last twenty years, institutional and private investors have repeatedly used their financial leverage to initiate social change.  For instance, these efforts have been used to bring pressure on stocks of companies involved in tobacco, alcohol, gambling, guns and environmentally insensitive behavior.  Arguably, the best-known example to date was the shareholder activism that used divestment to force the apartheid government of South Africa to abandon its heinous apartheid policy.  Subsequently, that government was forced to surrender power. 

By applying this model to companies doing business in terrorist-sponsoring states, we hope to achieve a success no less momentous than that accomplished in South Africa.  All it will take is for Americans like you to feel empowered to play a role in the war on terror, to make known your views against investment in terrorist-sponsoring states and to use tools like those provided by DivestTerror.org to target and maximize the effectiveness of your activism.  Please visit this informative and useful site and to join in the campaign it is now waging to defeat those who threaten not only our lives, but those of our children and grandchildren, as well.

They are not "here". Didnt you read the article. In the third paragraph it referred to "middle easterners caught up in our legal system". Who is more dangerous the enemy or the enemy within, such as the author of this article???

You've got that right! Without a 4WD, we're stuck here all winter!

No wonder God wanted people to spread out. Imagine living in a major target area! Scary!

[hershey]

Absolutely right. They're here and plotting 24/7. Something bad will happen here again. Thank God the FBI caught this guy, but will our justice system end up releasing him? Doubtless his 'rights' were violated somehow.
