FORT COLLINS, COLO. – Police in Fort Collins, Colo., are alerting religious organizations to a self-described "Islamist jihadist" who is threatening the demise of Mormons and Catholics at sites across Arizona and Colorado.

“Today, the word ‘Islamist’ does more to strike concern than it did before 9/11“Today, the word ‘Islamist’ does more to strike concern than it did before 9/11"

Ya think ?

(BOLO - going after Catholics & Mormons)

Bolo?

What, some dude has a couple balls on a rope?

Or one of those funky ties?

[dragonblustar]

"Shakir Muhammad, a community leader, told the Coloradoan he is concerned Craig’s self-appointed identity will give people the wrong idea about the Muslim religion."

Give Muzzies a bad names? Gee, you'd think centuries of jihad didn't have anything to do with it?

[jiggyboy]

Be On the LookOut

[jiggyboy]

“Christopher Dewitt Craig has said Mormons and Catholics “would be destroyed” in the next two weeks. Authorities say there’s no immediate public danger.”

Sounds close enough to “immediate” to me. Am I supposed to think “in the next two weeks” means that he won’t do anything for the next 13 days?

[Dallas59]

Wait...doesn’t the IRS and NSA know about this already? Oh...wait...wrong religion.

[OwenKellogg]

BOLO in COLO ...remember this guy:

In 1991, Anwar al-Awlaki returned to the U.S. state of Colorado to attend college. He earned a B.S. in Civil Engineering from Colorado State University (1994), where he was president of the Muslim Student Association.

[ottbmare]

Gee, I wish he’d come into our parish. Half the parishioners are either LEOs, Secret Service, federal marshals, active-duty military, or are the kind of service members who wear beards. It wouldn’t last long.

[11th_VA]

WOW !!!

[spawn44]

The infestation has begun. Next time you hear a socialist democrat talk about diversification you should walk up and b slap them silly.

[Chode]

i think the days of Cowboys and Goathumpers is fast approaching...

[cookcounty]

"In 1991, Anwar al-Awlaki returned to the U.S. state of Colorado to attend college. He earned a B.S. in Civil Engineering from Colorado State University (1994), where he was president of the Muslim Student Association."

Hmmmm.... and down the road in Greeley, home of Northern Colorado U, Sayyid Qtub studied and later became a leading Muslim Brotherhood theorist, mentor to al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahri. Qtub was radicalized when he saw men and women dancing together, which deeply upset him.

[bigheadfred]

I thought it was “bob only lives once”.

[humblegunner]

People need to speak freakin’ English.

BOLO my ass.

[unixfox]

Be On the LookOut

You mean profiling? Wouldn't that be racist? /sarc

[MeshugeMikey]

this guys got a couple of synapses out of alignment!

[Gaffer]

They issue a “Dangerous Criminal BOLO” for anyone wearing a Hijab, carrying a Quran, praying towards Mecca, or generally looking or acting like a Muslim. Same difference

[elkfersupper]

It might be time to just take every one of these goofballs out while they are still a minority.

Of course, the smart ones won't reveal themselves for weeks, months, years or decades.

[bigheadfred]

BOLO my ass.

Is that the same as a butt in a sling or does it really mean you are going to go lie down in a hammock and sip a cold one?

[Larry381]

"Shakir Muhammad, a community leader, told the Coloradoan he is concerned Craig’s self-appointed identity will give people the wrong idea about the Muslim religion."

You want wrong ideas? Not to be too much of chauvinistic crusader but take my word for it, there's an excellect reason why Muzzball women wear dark veils and it ain't got nothing to do with religion.

[NTHockey]

And what exactly are the law-abiding citizens of CO supposed to do now that the state has effectively gutted 2A rights? Bows and arrows? Swords and axes?

And to the NSA trolls, FU.

[TigersEye]

There are no new laws here that prevent me from using this to defend myself,
my family and my home.

;-)

[Norm Lenhart]

Another day passes and another confused Muslim is going about Islam all wrong...

Either the Imams do a piss poor job teaching their fleeced flocks or to the contrary, they do the job well...and tell the kafirs a different tale. I know which I bet on. Just wish someone with a mic and an audience would point out that fact.

[GeronL]

One of the original stories added “Police said there is no danger to the public”.

lolz

[Rocky Mountain High]

Don’t believe the media hype. As of 7/1, you can no longer transfer magazines that hold over 15 rounds. Anything previously owned was grandfathered in. New gun purchases cost $10 more for the CBI background check.

We are a far cry from “gutted”.

[True Grit]

self-described Islamist jihadist (going after Catholics & Mormons)

Will be ignored by the MSN so long a blacks are not targeted.

[TigersEye]

So does this article...

The Coloradoan reports Christopher Dewitt Craig has said Mormons and Catholics "would be destroyed" in the next two weeks. Authorities say there's no immediate public danger.

They had better hope this guy doesn't pull a "Jared Loughner" or their complacency is going to come back to bite them.

[OwenKellogg]

It must be that Rocky Mountain High.

[GeronL]

right!

[GeronL]

They think he is a harmless crank, they better hope they are correct

[Yorlik803]

Mormons used to have avenging angels. Wonder if they still do?

[GraceG]

White Muslims are just as guilty as White Hispanics in the media’s eyes of course

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

This guy is a total fruitcake. He sounds so out of it that he couldn’t find his rear end with a flashlight and road map.

http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/front-range/fort-collins/man-behind-recent-church-threats-in-colorado-and-arizona-is-a-former-college-basketball-coach

He’s already been picked up twice in small towns in eastern Arizona, after which they let him go. I reckon if he keeps it up, somebody is going to shoot him.

[1010RD]

Those that have seen it say it’s totally busted.

[CodeToad]

Try that in this State and half might cower but half will blow your sorry mooselimb ass away.

[jiggyboy]

Looks like a nut who is either off his meds or doesn’t yet know that he needs meds. But that’s the kind of guy who tries to break into the captain’s cabin on a flight or decides one day that it’s really God speaking to him through the dog, and it’s time to listen to the dog and go shoot all the devils in an office building.

[MeshugeMikey]

This one is certainly a Macabre Mooselim Crumpet of Caucasian Ethnicity If Ive ever seen one!

Likely the CEO...of al-Qaida in Boulder Colorado! /s

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

That is quite accurate, and why having an armed citizenry is such an incredibly good idea.

I’ve noted before that cities in Arizona even have more polite insane people, because one of the last faculties to go in the mind is self preservation, and knowing that they could likely get shot if they act too wacky makes them work hard to keep it on a leash in public.

It’s somewhat harder to say about rural areas in Arizona. But in that they now have a little lead time, I doubt you will find many pacifists in those eastern AZ Mormon settlements. They’re not so public about things, and in past have been alleged to make evil livers disappear down abandoned mine shafts. But that’s just rumor.

[bravo whiskey]

where they are building a new large islamist terrorist training center, aka a mosque.

[headstamp 2]

“Shakir Muhammad, a community leader, told the Coloradoan he is concerned Craig’s self-appointed identity will give people the wrong idea about the Muslim religion.”

That’s OK. I’ve had the wrong idea about it since 9/11.

[Salvation]

Just sent this to my daughter and son in law.

[Ramius]

Well... As for swords and axes... I definitely recommend getting a couple of each and learning how to use them. They’re great in close quarters and never need to be reloaded. :-)

[jiggyboy]

If you’re going to go the axe and sword route, might as well go all in with a vuvuzela as well:

...self-described Islamist jihadist (going after Catholics & Mormons)

 

 

but WHY; in light of the following???

 

“I Will Be a Second Mohammed”

In the heat of the Missouri “Mormon War” of 1838, Joseph Smith made the following claim, “I will be to this generation a second Mohammed, whose motto in treating for peace was ‘the Alcoran [Koran] or the Sword.’ So shall it eventually be with us—‘Joseph Smith or the Sword!’ ”[1]

It is most interesting that a self-proclaimed Christian prophet would liken himself to Mohammed, the founder of Islam. His own comparison invites us to take a closer look as well. And when we do, we find some striking—and troubling—parallels. Consider the following.

• Mohammed and Joseph Smith both had humble beginnings. Neither had formal religious connections or upbringing, and both were relatively uneducated. Both founded new religions by creating their own scriptures. In fact, followers of both prophets claim these scriptures are miracles since their authors were the most simple and uneducated of men.[2]

• Both prophets claim of having angel visitations, and of receiving divine revelation to restore pure religion to the earth again. Mohammed was told that both Jews and Christians had long since corrupted their scriptures and religion. In like manner, Joseph Smith was told that all of Christianity had become corrupt, and that consequently the Bible itself was no longer reliable. In both cases, this corruption required a complete restoration of both scripture and religion. Nothing which preceded either prophet could be relied upon any longer. Both prophets claim they were used of God to restore eternal truths which once existed on earth, but had been lost due to human corruption.

• Both prophets created new scripture which borrowed heavily from the Bible, but with a substantially new “spin.” In his Koran, Mohammed appropriates a number of Biblical themes and characters—but he changes the complete sense of many passages, claiming to “correct” the Bible. In so doing he changes many doctrines, introducing his own in their place. In like manner, Joseph Smith created the Book of Mormon, much of which is plagiarized directly from the King James Bible. Interestingly, the Book of Mormon claims that this same Bible has been substantially corrupted and is therefore unreliable. In addition, Joseph Smith went so far as to actually create his own version of the Bible itself, the “Inspired Version,” in which he both adds and deletes significant portions of text, claiming he is “correcting” it. In so doing he also changes many doctrines, introducing his own in their place.

• As a part of their new scriptural “spin,” both prophets saw themselves as prophesied in scripture, and both saw themselves as a continuation of a long line of Biblical prophets. Mohammed saw himself as a continuation of the ministry of Moses and Jesus. Joseph Smith saw himself as a successor to Enoch, Melchizedek, Joseph and Moses. Joseph Smith actually wrote himself into his own version of the Bible—by name.

• Both prophets held up their own scripture as superior to the Bible. Mohammed claimed that the Koran was a perfect copy of the original which was in heaven. The Koran is therefore held to be absolutely perfect, far superior to the Bible and superceding it. In like manner, Joseph Smith also made the following claim. “I told the Brethren that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding its precepts, than by any other book.”[3]

• Despite their claim that the Bible was corrupt, both prophets admonished their followers to adhere to its teachings. An obvious contradiction, this led to selective acceptance of some portions and wholesale rejection of others. As a result, the Bible is accepted by both groups of followers only to the extent that it agrees with their prophet’s own superior revelation.

• Both Mohammed and Joseph Smith taught that true salvation was to be found only in their respective religions. Those who would not accept their message were considered “infidels,” pagans or Gentiles. In so doing, both prophets became the enemy of genuine Christianity, and have led many people away from the Christ of the Bible.

• Both prophets encountered fierce opposition to their new religions and had to flee from town to town because of threats on their lives. Both retaliated to this opposition by forming their own militias. Both ultimately set up their own towns as model societies.

• Both Mohammed and Joseph Smith left unclear instructions about their successors. The majority of Mohammed’s followers, Sunni Muslims, believe they were to elect their new leader, whereas the minority, Shiite Muslims, look to Alī ibn Abī Ṭālib, whom they consider Divinely appointed, as the rightful successor to Muhammad, and the first imam. (Ali was the cousin and son-in-law of the Islamic prophet Muhammad). Similarly, the majority of Joseph Smith's followers, Mormons, believed their next prophet should have been the existing leader of their quorum of twelve apostles, whereas the minority, RLDS, believed Joseph Smith's own son should have been their next prophet. Differences on this issue, and many others, have created substantial tension between these rival groups of each prophet.

• Mohammed taught that Jesus was just another of a long line of human prophets, of which he was the last. He taught that he was superior to Christ and superceded Him. In comparison, Joseph Smith also made the following claim.

“I have more to boast of than ever any man had. I am the only man that has ever been able to keep a whole church together since the days of Adam. A large majority of the whole have stood by me. Neither Paul, John, Peter, nor Jesus ever did it. I boast that no man ever did such a work as I. The followers of Jesus ran away from Him, but the Latter-day Saints never ran away from me yet.”[4] In light of these parallels, perhaps Joseph Smith's claim to be a second Mohammed unwittingly became his most genuine prophecy of all.

[1] Joseph Smith made this statement at the conclusion of a speech in the public square at Far West, Missouri on October 14, 1838. This particular quote is documented in Fawn M. Brodie, No Man Knows My History, second edition, (New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1971), p. 230–231. Fawn Brodie’s footnote regarding this speech contains valuable information, and follows. “Except where noted, all the details of this chapter [16] are taken from the History of the [Mormon] Church. This speech, however, was not recorded there, and the report given here is based upon the accounts of seven men. See the affidavits of T.B. Marsh, Orson Hyde, George M. Hinkle, John Corrill, W.W. Phelps, Samson Avard, and Reed Peck in Correspondence, Orders, etc., pp. 57–9, 97–129. The Marsh and Hyde account, which was made on October 24, is particularly important. Part of it was reproduced in History of the [Mormon] Church, Vol. III, p. 167. See also the Peck manuscript, p. 80. Joseph himself barely mentioned the speech in his history; see Vol. III, p. 162.”

It is possible.

I DO know that they have whining apologists on FR!
