THREAT MATRIX 2010 #3

Free Republic Threat Matrix | May 2, 2010 | TM Crew

[MestaMachine]

There is no war as far as our president is concerned. There are no Islamic Terrorists, only a few rogue extremists. There is no REAL Jihad. Jihad is simply a "spiritual journey" to Allah, the most merciful. So he says. Islam, to his mind, has contributed so much to the world, after all, since Mohammed's slaughter of the Jews at Medina.
Judging by Obama's actions in the recent weeks and months, he no doubt would have agreed the Jews deserved what they got from the "religion of peace." He continues the onslaught in the name of "social justice" and "human rights"...for them. But not for us, US.
It isn't America that Islam despises, it is the Jews. And all we need do to remedy that is to turn the Jews over for just punishment...and they will love America for it. Peace would reign in the world if only America would stop its support of those wicked Jews in Israel.
Unfortunately, his view is not shared by Al Qaeda. Nor would it be shared by the satanic character of Mohammed who ordered the butchering of innocents to further his mad quest for power.
This is excerpted from the latest Al Qaeda screed from Yahya al-Libi:

Abu Yahya Al-Libi

All Americans Must Be Killed Even If They Capitulate

Top Al Qaeda leader Abu Yahya Al-Libi is out with a new, and particularly grim, tract comparing America to the Bani Quraidah, a Jewish tribe that once came into conflict with Mohammed, resulting in all the adult males being killed, and the women and children being taken as slaves, according to a mix of hadith and Quranic sources.

The takeaway from this 20-page work is rather specific and quite possibly a signpost to trouble ahead.
Al-Libi is arguing:

1) The harshest punishment is justified for those who ally themselves with the enemies of Islam, even if those people do not commit overt acts against Muslims.

2) That punishment, in the case of the Quraidah, was that all of the adult males were killed and all women and children taken as slaves. Al-Libi goes out of his way to point out that this punishment was meted out after the Quraidah surrendered.

3) The United States meets the same criteria for judgment as the Quraidah.

The expansion of the conflict here is in keeping with Al Qaeda's practices, although I don't recall seeing it stated so bluntly and justified so elaborately before.

Basically, Al-Libi is saying that every adult male American ought to be killed, whether or not they submit to the judgment of Muslims (meaning Al Qaeda, of course,) whether or not they have specifically taken up arms against Muslims, and whether or not they continue to be at war with Muslims.

Or, to use his words, they are to be killed "not just as a punishment for the crime which they have committed in the past" but "to cut off the very substance of their evil." He specifically includes prisoners taken on the battlefield in this category, although he takes pains to say that his point is much broader.

Something not right? Go with your gut. Report it.

The Obama regime is out of touch with reality, they are living and operating in a parallel universe.

Has had three passports

Mr. Shahzad apparently went back and forth to Pakistan often, returning most recently in February after what he said was five months visiting his family, prosecutors said.

A Pakistani intelligence official who spoke on condition of anonymity said Mr. Shahzad had traveled with three passports, two from Pakistan and one from the United States; he last secured a Pakistani passport in 2000, describing his nationality as “Kashmiri.”

Feds didn’t call all airlines to warn of suspect
May. 05, 2010

WASHINGTON Law enforcement officials decided not to call all airlines directly on Monday to tell them an important name had been added to the government’s “no-fly” list, even as investigators pursued the man they suspected was the Times Square bomber.

Emirates airlines apparently didn’t notice the notification from the Transportation Security Administration that there was an addition to the list, and Faisal Shahzad boarded a Mideast-bound jetliner before federal authorities pulled him off and arrested him. On Wednesday, the government issued a new requirement for airlines to check the no-fly list more often, a move aimed at closing that security gap in future cases of terror suspects.

But officials could have called all the airlines themselves in such a critical situation - they’ve done it before.
~~~~~~

The FBI asked the TSA not to make the calls, according to an administration official who spoke on condition of anonymity in order to discuss the ongoing investigation. The FBI did let the TSA call a few domestic air carriers, which did not include Emirates.

(snip)

Schumer also said matching names to watch lists in the commercial aviation sector should be up to the government, not airlines.

The government agrees. It has planned to take over the responsibility, but the transition has taken longer than expected. The new program is almost fully implemented for domestic airlines and is months away from beginning with international carriers.

CANDOR7~~~ FYI ping, start at jihadist’s passport post #276

[Candor7]

Thaksfor this interesting ping. Homeland security and the FBI give Muzzies a "pass." Its unbeliveable that the reproter founnd these docs when the feds couuldn;t?

The feds are under orders to do only cursory work with Muzzies?

Looks like.

My pea brained Irish setter would do better search and seizure work,and he is 95% nose.

[MestaMachine]

What? They were just sitting there since 2009? That doesn’t make sense. What am I missing?

[thouworm]

Tip first came from a caller to Rush. He said he was watching Inside Edition and they found his passport on live TV & called the FBI (who had already gone through his belongings).

I did a search on that & could not find anything til I heard that a Connecticut reporter ALSO found valuable info & contacted FBI.

See my passport link & this link. All I have is there. What is missing is the timeline of these 2 occurrences in relation to one another AND exactly what did each “finder” find.

It’s the accused Times Square bomber at the scene of his foiled crime!

Faisal Shahzad poses with family and friends in an unnerving photo obtained by CBS News. He’s standing at the crossroads of the world, just feet from the very location he tried to blow up with his explosive-filled SUV.

Meanwhile, new details are emerging about the accused terrorist from the stack of personal items he carelessly left behind in his backyard.

As INSIDE EDITION first reported, Faisal Shahzad left a pile of old mail and private documents outside his former house in Shelton, Connecticut.

INSIDE EDITION also discovered Shahzad’s bank statement from June 2005, showing he had a total of $3,637 in his account. It was strewn just feet away from a USA baseball cap.

Shahzad discarded the student visa that he obtained in 1998 when he first came to the U.S to study at Southeastern University in Washington. His college transcript, also in the garbage, shows that the accused terrorist got D’s in English composition and microeconomics, a C in statistics and a B in accounting.

Mesta: On the Rush thread I asked “What did the authorities actually “WANT” to find? -— apparently as little as possible.

Breaking: Obama Administration Removed Faisal Shahzad From Terror Surveilance List Before Attack
Gateway Pundit ^

Posted on Thursday, May 06, 2010 4:31:08 PM by Hojczyk

Confessed terrorist Faisal Shahzad was removed from the Department of Homeland Security travel lookout list sometime after Barack Obama came into office.
CBS reported:

Sources tell CBS News that would-be Times Square bomber Faisal Shahzad appeared on a Department of Homeland Security travel lookout list – Traveler Enforcement Compliance System (TECS) – between 1999 and 2008 because he brought approximately $80,000 cash or cash instruments into the United States.

The New York Times reported that the person who bought Faisal’s apartment back in 2004 was interviewed by federal investigators.

Mark Levin said, “The first day I said, “Pick up the damn phone and call the airlines!” Now we learn this: Not all airlines were called.

Then he read the article in Post #284. It was his 2nd item of discussion today, after the stock market plunge.

[MestaMachine]

What in the heck are we dealing with here? This gets more and more bizarre by the minute! I knew the administration had been aware of him, but THIS is criminal. It truly is!

[Hardraade]

Obama belongs in Gitmo. If the American people and law enforcement hasn’t cottoned on by now, the country is gone...

[thouworm]

This has to stay on the front burner & connected (using the broken-record method) with 1) terror threats on the border -—like MamaDearest posted below and 2) “reform”/amnesty. Does anyone think the BHO regime is going to vet the illegal aliens in this country now and those pouring over our border on a daily basis?

In Post #206 Terrorist threat on border with Mexico

Snip: Farmer talked to an Arizona rancher who didn’t want to be identified because he’s afraid of the Mexican cartels who smuggle drugs near his property. He said he found a Muslim prayer rug on his ranch. “This is one more indication that there is a whole lot more than just a few Mexicans coming into the U.S.”.

A recent congressional report on the border threat confirmed members of Hezbollah have crossed the Southwest border. It shows photos of military jackets with Arab insignias found on the border. One depicts a picture of a plane crashing into the twin towers in New York City.

Law enforcement officials believe one of the world’s most wanted terrorists may have traveled into the U.S. in 2004 by coming through the mountains on the Mexico border. Federal agents confirmed Adnan Shurkajumah spent time in Atlanta just prior to Sep. 11th, and left on a bus. He is a Saudi Arabian pilot and bomb expert with a $5 million bounty on his head. In 2004,

Shurkajumah was one of seven Al-Qaida members agents were looking for after they were spotted in Central America and believed headed to the United States through Mexico . Federal agents now say Shurkajumah seems to have disappeared.

List of Barack Obama's friends and roommates

Post 132 by maggief

* Sohale Siddiqi is identified as “Sadik” in Obama’s memoir, Dreams From My Father, and is described as “a short, well-built Pakistani” who smoked marijuana, snorted cocaine and liked to party. Siddiqi was from Karachi, Pakistan, and Obama’s roommate when he attended Columbia University. Siddiqi was not a student at Columbia and became an illegal having over stay his tourist visa. [2] Obama knew Saddiqi when he visited Chandoo and Hamid at Occidental. Siddiqi claims Obama stopped using drugs when he arrived at Columbia. Siddiqi is a recovering drug addict and now lives in Seattle working for a community theater.

obama traveled to Pakistan during that time and met Siddiqi's family.

Aafia Siddiqui’s sister terms Hakimullah Mahsood’s letter ‘a conspiracy’

Dr. Fouzia said that her sister, (Aafiya SIDDIQI,) was scheduled to be sentenced on May 6 but has come to know through media that the date has now been changed to August 16 with two pre-sentencing hearings on June 28 and July 21.

She said that the latest campaign to malign her family is aimed at lessening the massive support for the demand of release of Dr. Afia from the home. “It’s not about Afia anymore. It is about tarnishing her symbol, particularly of symbol of Muslim woman.”

Answering a question Dr. Fouzia said that despite promises and assurances from the top level of the government, particularly Pakistan’s Ambassador to the US Hussain Haqqani, Minister of Interior Rahman Malik and others the government has not played many political and diplomatic cards available to it to secure release of Dr. Afia who was arrested in one country; kept in jail in another country and tried and now awaits sentencing in third country. Perhaps our leaders are not playing many cards available to them because they are busy filling their bank accounts.”

Thanks for the ping.

You are quite welcome.

[thouworm]

there are a lot of Siddiquis -— 2 recent ones in the news
~~~~~~~~~~~

Who Authorized Maryam Siddiqui’s [born in the US] Release?

Over at Emptywheel, Mary informs us that the long-missing daughter of Aafia Siddiqui likely has surfaced. Mary’s article provides an informative description of the background of the situation for the Siddiqui family, so I will not repeat that information nor the links she provided.

It seems highly unlikely that Maryam, as a Pakistani citizen who was born in the US, would be transferred to the Afghan National Detention Facility, so we must assume that she remained at Bagram. That means that ultimate authority for her release would trace to McChrystal. Did McChrystal authorize the release? If so, why?

Obama Appointment of Siddiqui to Agricultural Post is an Absolute Disaster for Organic Food Proponents

Previously, Siddiqui spent numerous years in the Clinton administration working in different marketing and regulatory programs at the Department of Agriculture. Since 2004, he has served on a Commerce Department’s advisory committee that advises the U.S. Trade Representative and Commerce Secretary on matters related to chemical and pharmaceutical products.

[thouworm]

Forgot first name:

ISLAM SIDDIQUI

As someone who cares deeply about organic food, I find Siddiqui’s appointment to be completely and utterly disheartening. It also brings up two thoughts.

First, it is quite obvious that Monsanto’s tentacles have a very tight grip on this adminstration. Very, very tight.

[MestaMachine]

The deeper we look....
Hardraade swears that obama is a muslim decapitation strike on the US. zebam seems to be proving this out every day in every way. Are our intelligence agencies asleep?
Is this why Netanyahu has defied him?
Does Israel know something we don’t?
