Exclusive: FBI Probes Muhammad's Ties to Ohio Mosque
ABC News ^ | June 4, 2009 | By RICHARD ESPOSITO, PIERRE THOMAS and JACK DATE

Posted on 06/04/2009 5:45:40 PM PDT by Jim Robinson

Nuradin Abdi was convicted in 2007 of planning to blow up an Ohio shopping mall.

Iyman Faris was convicted in 2003 of planning to blow up the Brooklyn Bridge.

Christopher Paul was convicted in 2008 of conspiring to use explosives against targets in the U.S. and Europe.

All three terrorists worshiped and socialized at a small mosque in Columbus, Ohio, and, according to David B. Smith, an attorney for Faris, were part of a larger group of jihadists and extremists who frequented the mosque.

The FBI now is investigating reports of links to that same mosque by Muslim-convert Abdulhakim Muhammad who allegedly shot and killed one soldier Monday and critically wounded another in a drive-by attack on a Little Rock, Ark., recruiting station, ABC News has learned.

And yet nothing happens to the mosque. But if you, Jim, lay a pork rind outside the door, you will be prosecuted.

I remember that story about the shopping mall in Ohio.

IIRC, it was in the Columbus area.

Islam is not compatible with these United States. Unless good people stand up and resist, we will go the way of western Europe.

And then it will be over. Welcome to another retreat of civilization, a new Dark Age of worldwide Islam.

Friends I know that live in Tampa, FL said there is mosque near King High School between Hwy. 301 and 56th Street. Late at night around 12-2 AM, about 50 cars will appear. They stay for a couple of hours then leave. Supposedly LEO’s are watching them, but everyone that lives around there think there are some very strange comings and goings.

An aside, I just finished reading "Global Jihadism: Theory and Practice" by Jerret Brachman. They all say the identical things. By itself, that dispatches the oft quoted "Tiny band of fringe extremists". Islaminaction has posted the speech that is being given worldwide. This time it was given in American Muslims hit NYC Streets Calling for Sharia and Jihad~Video

After Obama’s Muslim Speech: AG Eric Holder Issues Statement Protecting American Muslims
http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2009/06/after-obamas-muslim-speech-ag-eric-holder-issues-statement-protecting-american-muslims.html

Statement of Attorney General Eric Holder on Department of Justice’s Outreach and Enforcement Efforts to Protect American Muslims

Thursday, June 4, 2009
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder released the following statement relating to President Obama’s historic speech today in Cairo, Egypt:

“The President’s pledge for a new beginning between the United States and the Muslim community takes root here in the Justice Department where we are committed to using criminal and civil rights laws to protect Muslim Americans. A top priority of this Justice Department is a return to robust civil rights enforcement and outreach in defending religious freedoms and other fundamental rights of all of our fellow citizens in the workplace, in the housing market, in our schools and in the voting booth.

“There are those who will continue to want to divide by fear - to pit our national security against our civil liberties - but that is a false choice. We have a solemn responsibility to protect our people while we also protect our principles.”

This Muslim extremist has a history and he walks earlier.
How may others are out there walking free?

According to FOX News

A Muslim convert accused of fatally shooting an Army private and wounding another had previously been arrested on a weapons charge in Tennessee, but that charge eventually was dropped.

Police say Abdulhakim Muhammad, then known as Carlos Bledsoe, was arrested in February 2004 after a traffic stop in Nashville.

He was found with an SKS rifle inside in the car, with five rounds in a clip and one round in the rifle’s chamber. Officers also found a sawed-off shotgun and another shotgun inside the car, as well as an ounce of marijuana, a switchblade knife and two shotgun shells on Muhammad

Muhammad is accused of killing Army Pvt. William Andrew Long and wounding Pvt. Quinton I. Ezeagwula in a shooting Monday at a Little Rock recruiting center. After the attack, police confiscated from Muhammad’s truck an SKS rifle believed to be used in the shootings.

Muhammad faced weapons and drug charges after the arrest, though court records show prosecutors filed only a single misdemeanor charge against him. That charge was dismissed four months later.

Material seized from Muhammad’s truck and apartment this week included guns, ammunition and Molotov cocktails.

An FBI-Homeland Security intelligence assessment document obtained by The Associated Press on Wednesday suggested Muhammad may have considered targeting other locations, including Jewish and Christian sites.

Uh...Mr. Holder...How come there aren’t any “fundamental rights”, like freedom of religion, in predominantly-Muslim countries? What does the Koran say about what should happen to non-Muslims, Mr. Holder? What proportion of terrorist acts around the world are committed by Muslims, Mr. Holder?

Sounds like the mosque-madrassa I used to be neighbor to. (And the LEOs were indeed taking notes.)
There is more of this going on than most people realize, and in small towns as well as the cities.

I hope this doesn’t give rise to negative stereotypes of Muslims. The President will be compelled to give another speech.
