Yeah but Bill Clinton and other Leftists insist that terrorism stems from poverty

What a GOOD POINT! Worth discussing across this nation.

Bin Laden wasn't poor-he was RICH!

And these newly captured thugs studied in AMERICA. Poverty? LOL Hardly. More like HATRED for all things American or Jewish.

And if the response to this is...but these creeps attract those struck with poverty-well, so do many cults bent on destruction. Promises of 72 virgins in repressed Muslim societys is probably beyond tempting to hormonal young men. The fact is...the leadership of such dirty, hateful, murdering cults come from wealth and use their expertise to lure the susceptible. (Consider the huge and growing Islamic propagandists who work hard in each of our prisons to bring inmates to the Muslim faith.)

Indeed-the greatest miscalculation Osama's thugs and like minded dirtbags have made is that they were dealing with an America throttled with weakness ALA billy boy klinton..

I thank our Father in Heaven for the grown-up, responsible, IN CONTROL and ACCOUNTABLE administration this wonderful nation has been blessed with, so very awesomely.

Wajeh Muhammad, treasurer of the Islamic Center of the Triad, said he recalls both Al-Arian and Al-Najjar fondly. They were all part of a Muslim-American community with common interests in reading, writing, good food and better conditions for Palestinians living in the Middle East. "I had high admiration for both of them," Muhammad said.

Obviously, that wasn't all they were interested. I'll never understand why people who hate America come to America. In the words of GW:

"They hate what they see right here in this chamber: A democratically elected government. Their leaders are self-appointed. They hate our freedoms: our freedom of religion, our freedom of speech, our freedom to vote and assemble and disagree with each other."

But there is more, they hate America's superiority and military might, the U.S. is now undoubtedly the world's only superpower affecting and influencing the lives of millions around the world with its economic power and popular culture.

Al-Najjar in Iran now? What's a Palestinian Arab doing in Iran? I can't think of any reason for his being there except for some connection with Iranian funding of Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

Particularly interesting close to that Hoagland op ed today:

Mohammed migrated from the identity of small-time freelance terrorist to the top ranks of bin Laden's ultra-secretive band not long after the 1993 bombing resulted in the breakup of Yousef's U.S. network. Could al Qaeda have been the target of a takeover operation by an intelligence service with good legend-manufacturing skills and a great, burning desire for revenge on the United States?

That is a question U.S. investigators should push more actively. In "Study of Revenge," author Laurie Mylroie sketches the strong ties that Iraq's intelligence services have developed in Pakistani Baluchistan. And the Iraqi Embassy in Islamabad has been publicly identified by Secretary of State Colin Powell as a center for contact with al Qaeda.

Why did the two master terrorists get chased to earth a handful of miles from that embassy? The answer to the 9/11 mysteries may be hiding in plain sight.

Interesting that Al-Najjar finished his Masters around the same time that KSM started at that school, huh?

Do ya think they crossed paths?

What do you think?
Not just the same school
the same department.

Apparently there are telephone records
that link both al-Arian and al-Najjar to al Qaeda
and
specifically
to Zawahiri
during a trip he once made to the USA.

Friends Support Arrested Muslim

The Chicago Independent Media Center said Fariz and Ballut are "widely respected in Chicago for their measured, principled support for justice for the Palestinians." It trumpeted a support rally being staged on their behalf - three days after the arrests - that was organized by the mosque both men had led.

This is what Steven Emerson has been talking about for quite a few years. He wrote "American Jihad" warning us about Muslim terrorists and terrorist sympathizers living among us. These terrorists and their sympathizers are supporters of Hamas, Islamic Jihad and other terrorist groups. According to Emerson, we face a real threat from the Muslim groups living in America that have been funding terrorist activities, plotting attacks, infiltrating universities, and recruiting other terrorists through a sophisticated communications network.

The plots and designs of Al Qaeda's engineer



By the end of 1986, after just 2 1/2 years, Mohammed had completed his work. He graduated Dec. 18, one of 28 mechanical engineering graduates, almost a third of them Middle Easterners. As at Chowan, there is no photo of him in the yearbook.

None of almost a dozen faculty members in the department from that era recalled Mohammed. For most of his classmates and teachers, the future terrorist mastermind with a $25-million price on his head did not cast a long shadow, if any at all.

Thanks for the post and the ping. More and more, it looks like we rolled the red carpet for a slew of Islamic fifth columnists. Still are, unfortunately.

No....the majority of students are Christian. Muslims are the minority. We have students from all around the world and from different religions and backgrounds. A few happen to be Muslim.

Why don’t you look up the school instead of bashing it? Did you even go to college? Have a seat.

“Not surprising that the subject of Black Muslims is not raised,”

Because it has nothing to do with the article. Are the people on this forum dense?
