Abdula Ahmed Ali, Cossor Ali, Shazad Khuram Ali, Nabeel Hussain, Tanvir Hussain, Umair Hussain, Umar Islam, Waseem Kayani, Assan Abdullah Khan, Waheed Arafat Khan, Osman Adam Khatib, Abdul Muneem Patel, Tayib Rauf, Muhammed Usman Saddique, Assad Sarwar, Ibrahim Savant, Amin Asmin Tariq, Shamin Mohammed Uddin, and Waheed Zaman

I'm shocked. I was expecting Joe Smith. This is clearly racial profiling.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Ah, but did they illegally tap into their bank records and wire transfers?

Can't violate the rights of terrorists, after all.

Or is it only the Daily Kos crowd in America who thinks that way?

and many bore Muslim names.

...

The bank released the following names: Abdula Ahmed Ali, Cossor Ali, Shazad Khuram Ali, Nabeel Hussain, Tanvir Hussain, Umair Hussain, Umar Islam, Waseem Kayani, Assan Abdullah Khan, Waheed Arafat Khan, Osman Adam Khatib, Abdul Muneem Patel, Tayib Rauf, Muhammed Usman Saddique, Assad Sarwar, Ibrahim Savant, Amin Asmin Tariq, Shamin Mohammed Uddin, and Waheed Zaman..

Ok, I'll bite, which of the names above are not Muslim?

I know that Patel is a very common last name in a certain part of India and in the hotel business in the US, but I would say a Patel with the first name of Abdul would sound Muslim to most of us.

[GeronL]

Why are they being named by the bank?

[takenoprisoner]

The "religion of peace" has too much money and too much time on it's hands.

[lmr]

Patel is an Indian name. It literally means landowner.

Osman Adam Khatib

This could quite possibly be a Christian name.

[DannyTN]

So which one was the airport security worker? And why on earth wasn't he thought to be a risk?

[NormsRevenge]

"On the advice of the police and security services, the Treasury has instructed the Bank of England to issue notices to effect a freeze of the assets of a number of individuals arrested in yesterday's operations," a Treasury statement said."

Legalities , it seems.

[wideminded]

Patel is an Indian name. It literally means landowner.

In the U.S. it means motel owner.

[NormsRevenge]

There is a pdf document as well that may have a bit more info. I think it is part of the legislation approved there not so long ago.

Hey, we can start sending our "suicide bombers" too. Right into Iran, Syria, N.K. etc. With nukes strapped too their "bodies". Fair is fair, and we do have the right to defend us. (They're not actually sucicide bombers, but hell, since when do we have to be truthful with the enemy?) Well, CNN and Reuters would buy the story, I bet.

[staytrue]

In Delaware, it means 7-11 or Dunkin Doughnuts, according to Joe Biden.

However, in Ohio, it means physician.

[petertare]

It is likely these names are fictitious. It is customary to mask the real names of the suspects until farther along in the investigation. I am certain the actual names will include such as Jefferson, Washington, Adams, Franklin, and Lee.

No muzzy sandnazi would ever be involved with any activity of this fashion. I read that for sure somewhere on a jazeeri site last week.

[Paleo Conservative]

D. Muslim males between 17 and 40.

[lmr]

That's true. I worked for a Waste Disposal company for years. We hauled garbage for virtually all the sleezy motels along the Broadway strip here. Virtually all of these guys were Patel's. There was one motel that advertised "American Owned" on their sign out front, even they had us. We had most of the business on this corridor, because we were the least expensive. These Indian guys are really TIGHT with their money. I read later in our local paper when they were interviewing several of the Patel's regarding prostitution (What do you think goes on at those places? ;-) The newspaper revealed that the Indian name Patel means "landowner". That is how I knew. :-)

[Fester Chugabrew]

No joke. To say "many bore Muslim names" is but a verbal fillagree.

It would be a lot more convenient to just exterminate all mooselimbs now, its not like its not going to have to be done sooner or later.
