Excerpts from Thursday's federal indictment against University of South Florida professor Sami Al-Arian: - There existed a PIJ (Palestinian Islamic Jihad) manifesto, entitled, "Manifesto of the Islamic Jihad in Palestine," which described the goals and principles of PIJ, along with its command and organizational structure. ... The "Manifesto" rejected "any peaceful solution to the Palestinian cause, and the affirmation of the Jihad solution and the martyrdom style as the only choice for liberation." The PIJ "Manifesto" indicated that the only purpose of the PIJ was to destroy Israel and to end all Western influence (of the "Great Satan-America") in the region regardless of the cost to the inhabitants.

- USF was utilized by PIJ as the instrumentality through which the co-conspirators could bring other PIJ members and associates into the United States under the guise of academic conferences and meetings.

- On or about April 7, 1991, in Cleveland, Ohio, Unindicted Co-Conspirator One introduced Sami Amin Al-Arian as the head of the Islamic Committee for Palestine (ICP), which was described as the active arm of the Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine (PIJ), in North America. Unindicted Co-Consiprirator One said the PIJ was referred to as the ICP for security reasons. Sami Amin Al-Arian spoke and praised the Intifada, and praised individuals who had escaped from a prison in 1987 with the help of the PIJ and then killed many people. (This terrorist act is also referred to as the Battle of Al-Shujaiya.) Sami Amin Al-Arian further mentioned the Gulf War, and questioned why they stopped the protests against it. He then said they should continue the protests, continue to damn America, continue to damn Israel, and continue to damn the allies of the American and Israel until death. Sami Amin Al-Arian also said that going to the Holy Land for Muslims was not a matter of going for a visit or tourism; rather, it was a matter of going for Jihad.

- Sami Amin Al-Arian said Jews were damned; that Allah had made them monkeys and swine and damned them in this world and in the afterworld.

- On June 3, 1993, Sami Amin Al-Arian caused four wire transfers of $1,944.00 each from his account at Bank Leumi to accounts at Mercantile Discount Bank in Umm El Fahem (West Bank), Israel in the names of: Zahera Agbarya, Rokayah Agbarya, Mostafa Agbarya and Bushra Suleiman, all of whom were spouses or other relatives of recently convicted PIJ terrorists serving sentences in Israeli jails for their participation in a terrorist attack in or around mid-February, 1992, in which they murdered three Israelis.

- On or about December 30, 1993, Sami Amin Al-Arian filed a false application with INS for naturalization to become a United States citizen.

- On or about April 25, 1994, Sami Amin Al-Arian received a three-page facsimile listing people killed and names and account numbers of people receiving money on their behalf.

- On or about November 11, 1994, a co-conspirator associated with the PIJ murdered three people and wounded approximately eleven in a suicide bombing in the vicinity of Netzarim Junction, Gaza Strip.

- On or about November 11, 1994, Sami Amin Al-Arian wrote a note to be sent via facimile ... which announced his pride in the recent attack by the PIJ. He asked that God bless the efforts of the PIJ and accept the "martyrs," and urged PIJ members to be cautious and alert.

- On or about February 10, 1995, Sami Amin Al-Arian wrote a letter to Ismail Al-Shatti in Kuwait asking for money for the PIJ. Sami Amin Al-Arian bragged about the January 22, 1995 Beit Lid bombing, and cited the bombing as an example of what PIJ could do. He asked for money and said that Shaker and Sukkar left large families and debts; he also wrote that the PIJ was poor and destitute and indicated the Iranians were providing little financial assistance. He wrote that despite the hardships the PIJ carried out distinctive operations which all the Arab armies lacked the strength to execute. Sami Amin Al-Arian noted that the link with the brothers in Hamas was very good and improving, and there were serious attempts at unification and permanent coordination. In the letter, Sami Amin Al-Arian requested additional money so that operations such as Beit Lid could continue.

- On or about November 2, 1995, Sami Amin Al-Arian had ... (a) telephone conversation with ... (a) journalist from the Tampa Tribune, in which Sami Amin Al-Arian falsely stated that Ramadan Abdullah Shallah had been a genuine scholar while at WISE (World and Islam Studies Enterprise, Inc.) and that Sami Amin Al-Arian had no suspicion that Ramadan Abdullah Shallah was affiliated with a terrorist organization.

- On or about October 18, 1996, Sami Amin Al-Arian who was in Tampa, Florida, sent a facsimile to the Abdul Latif Jamell Company, Ltd., in Saudi Arabia, and inquired about obtaining pelletized urea fertilizer in fifty kilogram bags suitable for ocean transportation.

The actual indictment is here, along with 246 statements of fact (lots of phone taps):

Personally, I like the indictment for his false statements on his naturalization application. He apparently forgot to mention his involvement with Palestinean Islamic Jihad.

That is going to send a big, scary message to all the Islamist scumballs now living in America.

Here's something interesting I found; apparently a transcript with al Arian, Dan Blather, and others:

Commend 48 Hours For Informative Show

Go about 3/4 or so down the page to Sami, among other things, it has this:

MORIARITY: As for Sami al Arian's 1991 speech, Sayyed says phrases like "damn America" and "death to Israel" can mean only one thing.

SAYYED: I am a Muslim. And I belong to the same society. And I understand what symbols mean in my country. In my society, death means death.

MORIARITY: You don't think there's any other way of interpreting that?

SAYYED: I don't think so personally. When I say kill someone, it means kill someone.
