Thanx, RDTF
It's a little late in the day to blame Stockholm Syndrome for malfeasance in office.
Meanwhile, one of the Congressman from NJ (Dem) has given CAIR access to one of the rooms in the House for some meetings with Congress.
I remember this part quite clearly.
One Muslim faction went to the home of this fellow Khaalis and killed his wife and kids. Pretty grisly.
The house was right on upper 16th St., NW, and it soon became a daily reminder of what had happened there.
The Muslims continued to live there, but they cut down ever tree and bush and flower on the property, leaving this really magnificent stone house sitting alone on the lawn with nothing else up to the fence line.
Next they installed high-powered halogen lamps, so the entire property was lit-up like like a baseball stadium from sundown to sunup, every night, for years.
Finally - and this also went on for several years - they had one or two guards on patrol on the property 7x24x365. Usually the guards were dressed in normal Western clothes, but often enough in some kind of Arab getup with robes, etc.
But no matter what, the guards always carried 3-foot long scimitars thrust into the belt. There was no DC ordinance preventing anyone from carrying a sword on their own property, so that's what they did.
I'm pretty clear on the details because I commuted to work on that route off-and-on for years. There was a stoplight at the intersection, so frequently you'd be stopped directly in front of the house watching Mr Guard doing his duties.
it was a wierd time in DC.
I had no idea this happened.
Course I was born in April '77.
Bump For Later
What a story. I don't remember a thing about it, although I guess that's becaause I was living in a fairly remote place at the time and didn't have a TV. It's amazing how long the Muslims have been at this, even in the US. And of course they took most of their hostages at Bnai Brith.
I don't remember this. Thanks for posting the thread.

I recalled a story about some murders in the 70's in a house owned by Jabbar. Here is what I found;
"On January 18, 1973, a group of several Nation of Islam members set out for a house which was being used by Khaalis in Washington DC. This was the townhouse of LA Lakers' star Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Khaalis was not at home, so the people in the house were attacked. Seven members of Khaalis' family were killed. Four of the victims were babies, aged between 9 days and 22 months. These had been drowned in a bathtub and a sink. Khaalis's wife was shot but survived, albeit paralyzed."
I remember this when I was in HS. I didn't know what it was about but I always remembered the name B'nai B'rith. Afterward, Mayor Walter Washington retired Marion Barry was elected and the rest of DC went to hell from that point.
Hmmm, the Religion of Peace struck in 1977. If we would have looked into our crystal ball to forsee the future.....
