Hemant Lakhani
From CNN, with thanks to Jeffrey Imm:
A British man accused of trying to smuggle shoulder-held missiles into the United States and offering to obtain a radioactive "dirty bomb" for terrorists will stand trial November 3.Hemant Lakhani, who appeared in U.S. District Court in Newark, N.J., has been in custody since his arrest last August. ...
Lakhani, 68, of the Hendon area of London, was arrested in a sting operation involving an 18-month collaboration among officials in the United States, Russia and Britain.
The indictment against Lakhani claims the Indian-born Briton told an investigator that shoulder-fired surface-to-air missiles he attempted to import into the United States "could be used most effectively in terrorist attacks against commercial aircraft in the United States if 10 to 15 commercial aircraft were shot down simultaneously at different locations throughout the country."
According to federal prosecutors, he boasted of sales to terrorist groups and thought he had struck a deal to sell a missile to a Somali group seeking to launch a "jihad" against a U.S. commercial airline.
He tried to sell the group 200 missiles, and later insisted they buy 50 after they received the first one, priced at $85,000.
The man claiming to represent the Somali group was instead a cooperating witness for the United States, the missile Lakhani brought into the country was a dud, and the undercover Russian authorities who sold him the missile were collaborating with U.S. officials in the sting.
Prosecutors brought further charges against Lakhani in December, claiming he offered to procure a variety of anti-aircraft weapons, tanks and radar systems, as well as a radioactive explosive device known as a "dirty bomb."
You know, it's pretty sad when people from other African nations who happen to be friends of mine tell me that the Somalians are the most arrogant American haters on the African continent.
Yet, here we are, letting them infest our nation, and act like we're in their way. This is becoming very irritating.
D.C.:
I live in an area with the largect Somali population in the U.S., plus, even though my state is largely rural, several large urban areas dominate state politics in favor of Liberal Democrats over the more conservative rural populace. It's absolutely maddening. What's a person to do?
A year or so ago the Mayor of Lewiston, Maine, alarmed by the huge influx of Somalis into his small, and rather poor town (like many of those factory towns in Maine and New Hampshire along the Merrimac, that lost their factories), spoke rather mildly about how it might be better if Somalis did not make Lewiston, and its very limited resources, their destination. For this all bien-pensants roundly assailed him. How dare he suggest that the natives of Lewiston might have their own interests to consider? And why should anyone doubt in the slightest the sheer wonderfulness of having thousands of Somali immigrants, all of whom were without money and without skills, and who would require expensive training, first in English, and then in the rudimentary skills of a world quite different from that of Somalia, in Lewiston? All the usual clergymen of the interfaith-racket-variety, all the wellmeaning DownEast goodfolk, piled on the poor Mayor. He knew not what he did.
But really, even the quiet hijabbed Somali girl at your local T. J. Maxx, adding up your purchase, or going off for a "price check" on an item -- what does she think? And no matter what she thinks, what about her husband, or her brood at home? Will the presence of her family make American Infidels inhabit a much more diverse and wonderful place, or will they, or some of them, at some point (perhaps not in this, or even the next generation, but in the generation after that), find that the answer to their own problems and distempers is provided by what came in their mental baggage from Somalia -- that is, Islam. And what will then be the cost, the cost of monitoring such people, of wondering about whether or not at some point, in a Manchurian-Candidate-like scenario, one or more of that family's members will be set off, and even the outwardly amiable will become more active in their Jihad? And even if these Somali or other immigrants, do not participate in bombs and guns, their mere presence swells the political power of Muslims, and helps to inhibit political and other kinds of discussion, and to limit the ability of politicians (those, for example, in some parts of Michigan who are so careful to cultivate the Arab vote, if they were to be joined by others elsewhere, could do much damage to measures undertaken to defend us against the Jihad). That Mayor of Lewiston deserved support, not the attacks he received. His main concern was money, of course -- just as the French people who were mildly supportive of the expulsion a few days ago of a an unusually frank and violent imam from Venissieux became inflamed to learn that that imam had, by two wives, a total of sixteen children in France -- all of whom were receiving generous support from the French Infidel taxpayers, the same taxpayers who, often for reasons of economics, deliberately limit the size of their own families. Those in France who cannot be outraged by Muslim behavior toward, for example, kippah-wearing Jews, can be made furious by the thought that they are being forced to pay for the deliberate over-breeding (often, for express purposes of demographic conquest) of Arab and Muslim immigrants.
Who is in charge of our policy on immigration, and why has there been no debate on the actual cost, including the huge and growing security cost, of Muslim immigrants?
I guess I'd be hoping for the speed of time to increase, moving toward the next election, and vote the left out.....
Hugh posits:
"...why has there been no debate on the actual cost, including the huge and growing security cost, of Muslim immigrants?"
Implicit in thre recent articles on immigration in the Toronto Globe and Mail (self-styled as "Canada's National Newspaper"), by Margaret Wente, Christie Blatchford and Jeffrey Simpson, respectively, these issues have been raised. This would have been taboo only a few years ago. All three journalists have eschewed the PC mantra, and the flood of outraged multi-culti letters to the editor suggests that artciles such as these are heading in the right direction.
I'll wait to see more, but one hopes that public attitudes towards incompatible Third World (read, Muslim) immigration may be negatively swayed by those using the "bully pulpit" of the press to continuously make the case.
Talking about Maine. My family owns a vacation house up there. Nobody ever move to Maine. It has one of the worst drug and alchol problems in the Union, and the state government is terrible. They coddle their citizens way to much and the tax rate is way to big for what the citizens get in return. If not for tourists that state would be one giant forest.
Isn't this hog a little old to be playing with such big guns? Give him some prune juice, and toss him back on the slammer......let him die there.
Has anyone noticed the concentration of Muslims in the middle of North America and along the Canadian Border? I wonder if this is a tactic to create a demographic change which could eventually lead to the formation of a North American "stan," essentially separating culturally Anglo-Canada from culturally Anglo-America?
On the American side we have the "hubs" of Michigan, and Maine, and on the Canadian side, we have Quebec and the growing Muslim population Toronto, whose citizens can "zip" back and forth across the border as need be.
Then of course we have gigantic mosques in Chicago, Boston, Los Angeles, and so on, as well as the bleeding border of the United States with Mexico, bringing in thousands each day. You all can do the math and understand what this means.
If thousands of immigrants can wander in over both borders, usually not at official check points, couldn't it be possible that all kinds of weapons systems are trickling in as well.
DC Watson:Yet, here we are, letting them infest our nation, and act like we're in their way. This is becoming very irritating.
Hood Jihadi:The Somalis you are talking about as in what I read at vdare.com are not Somalis you dumbos. They are Malawians and Tanzanians if you know where these places are. The Peterists and their Zionazis brought them as Bantus sold to slavery by "Arabs". In fact, they were braught in by the Italians because the Somalis refused to be enslaved by the gay Italians.
Anyways, I like them guys. The only blacks not easily brainwashed by the Whiteman. Iraqis should do what they did - throw you back into the sea at any cost you racist infidels.
By the way, did you not notice the lesson behind this? While the Muslims are the ones being watched. The Zionazis and their cow avoiders can do whatever they like.
No hoodjob.....I have friends from Tanzania, Kenya, Ghana, and Nigeria, So, dumbo, I know the difference. And, they are Somalians, you know, the ones we fed during the day so they could shoot at us during the night back in 93.
We had a peacekeeping force over there, and they, like the cowards in Iraq, used women as shields. So, don't assume I can't tell the difference between people from various African nations because despite what you may think, they don't all look alike to me........
Somalians are for the most part, an arrogant lot.....A few of them are very cool people....the ones that want to stay away from idiots like Islamic Radicals, but for the most part, they are jerkoffs......Dumbo
And by the way, since you asked if I know where these nations are, correct me if I'm wrong but aren't Ethiopia, Somalia, Kenya, and Eritrea on the East side of the African continent, a part of or near the "horn of Africa"?
It did not take me long before I found what DC Watson's friends have been up to. Looks like one of them is going to be taken care of by uncle Jamal in penitentiary:

CHICAGO — White supremacist leader Matthew Hale, who helped organize an anti-Somali gathering in Maine last year, was convicted Monday of trying to have a federal judge killed. Hale, 32, was found guilty of four of the five charges against him. He was acquitted on one of two counts of soliciting the murder of a federal judge in Chicago. The judge was not attacked.
See Hoodjob......here's your problem, you cretins, who are the true bigots, just don't know when to stop running your mouthes. You and your heroes talk all sorts of mad shit, talking tough, calling our armies cowards. Then all of a sudden
U.S. pounds targets in Fallujah
American forces kill more than 60 insurgents near Najaf

Heavy fire from a U.S. aerial gunship lights up the sky Tuesdy night in Fallujah.
ON CNN TV
FALLUJAH, Iraq (CNN) -- Heavy fire from a U.S. aerial gunship lit up the sky Tuesday night in Fallujah, a hotbed of Sunni Muslim resistance where U.S. Marines have engaged in a two-week standoff with insurgents.
And before that, hooded one, this:
'Dangerous situation' in Najaf
U.S. forces have killed 64 Iraqi insurgents in fighting near the Shiite Muslim holy city of Najaf, a U.S. military spokesman said Tuesday.
About 2,500 U.S. troops are poised outside Najaf, where an uprising led by anti-American Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr began three weeks ago.
Attacks and raids have been reported throughout Iraq over the last 24 hours, including the killing of a U.S. soldier in Baghdad's Sadr City and four people who attacked a patrol in central Iraq's Diwaniyah, a military spokesman said.
A U.S.-led Coalition Provisional Authority source in Baghdad said U.S. helicopter gunships also struck positions of the cleric's militia Monday in the Najaf area.
Top coalition officials have said that U.S. and allied forces in Iraq will not tolerate the stockpiling of weapons in mosques in Najaf, warning that action could follow if insurgents refuse to remove the weapons.
In a statement Monday, L. Paul Bremer, the U.S. administrator in Iraq, said a "dangerous situation" exists in Najaf.
"Weapons are being stockpiled in mosques, shrines and schools," Bremer said. "This explosive situation cannot be tolerated by those who seek a peaceful resolution to this crisis."
Coalition spokesman Dan Senor said weapons must be removed from holy sites and schools immediately -- and if they were not, "further steps may have to be taken."
He said places of worship "are not protected under the Geneva Conventions in the event of military action, if they are used as bases for operations and bases to store weapons and other tools of violence."
Al-Sadr is wanted for questioning in the killing of a rival cleric last year.
U.S. officials have said they want to capture or kill him, but there have been ongoing talks to defuse the possibility of fighting between U.S. troops and al-Sadr's militia in Najaf.
Give it some thought Hoodie, please.....
Kill them where they roost. .....before they kill us. To die means nothing to them, so we should help them in their journey.
Hoodieboon, you are hilarious.....Looks like you're grasping at straws trying to make your way of life look good.....
this idiot Hale should be fried......However, if you'll be so kind as to have someone read my posts to you, you'll maybe learn that I'm no bigot.....I'm just anti-jackass....that's why I have a difficult time taking someone like you seriously.....just leave the US and maybe you'll be happy.
Go be with your brothers in chaos over in the Middle East.......no one's stopping you.
Hood Jihadi:"Matthew Hale"
Is that why I don't hear of Hal anymore?
I knew you were a Nazi substituting the word Jew for a Muslim.
One down, others to go.
DC Watson:You and your heroes talk all sorts of mad shit, talking tough, calling our armies cowards. Then all of a sudden
Hood Jihadi: I am a man of peace because I worship the religion of peace. Sorry to disappoint you, but shelling civilians isn’t my style.
You all are forgetting about a large Somali population in MINNESOTA, also a state with an almost completely porous (and I do mean fluid as in the sense of the Boundary Waters) with Canada. See a trend here?
I meant "porous border" with Canada!
CGW - I do see the trend. Does anyone know of concentrations in other states along the Canadian Border?

Posted by Hood Jihadi at April 27, 2004 05:10 PM
Hoodjob, you mean all this time you've been fooling us, and that you're really a Christian? This is great news, you really had us going.
You've proven by your posts that you're Anti-American, Anti-Jewish, and Anti anything that isn't Islamic.....Hence your screen name. If you hate the United States, think the US is racist, and breeds racism, you're as blind as you are dumb.
The shelling of civilians isn't your style, but hiding among them and using them as human shields is your style, right? Or at least it's the style of your heroes. That's been proven, now hasn't it?
Convert to Islam or die! No, not any racism in that statement....Your "religion of peace" sure as hell blows alot of innocent people up for no good reason. They have no trouble mutilating the genitalia of young girls, or raping their own sisters if they dishonor the family, or beating their wifes....or how about sending children on suicide bombing missions? or kidnapping innocent civilians......your "religion of peace" doesn't even have respect for its own houses of worship, hiding in, storing weapons in, and shooting artillery from Mosques.....
Hoodie, I hope your eyes are brown, cuz you sure are full of crap.......
D.C. Watson:
This is the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Homeland Security. Once again, you have been reported by your many Muslim neighbors for spewing semiliterate rascist diatribes and threats. They are concerned that you are potentially dangerous. We realize, of course, that you are merely an ignorant, hate-obsessed blowhard, but nevertheless we must again arrest you for felony hate speech.
Strip to your underwear (if you wear any) and exit the front door of your trailer with your hands on your head. Do not attempt to lock the door - we have warrents to seize the methamphetamine and child pornography as well.
That is all.
wow the fbi arrests people using discussion pages. how ingenious. I think what DC says makes since.
FBI:
GAZE
You've tried verbatim this tired line on DCW before. He still posts intelligently, which is more than can be said of you. FOAD and STFU- go crawl back under your LLL rock. Just let the remainder of us (except Hood-boy) continue to sit around the adult table.
The "Universal Islamic State" Movement is going to meet, soon we think, the fate intended for US Commercial Aircraft: SHOT DOWN AND CRASHING INTO FLAMES!
Thanks Earl.....Hoodie, the only thing I hate are threats to the United States and its Citizens. Oh, I have an undying hatred of moronic bigots like those that label themselves Jihadists...
I'm sorry you have so much hatred for non-muslims and for anyone that isn't of the same skin color that you are. It's apparent that you've been brainwashed into thinking that Islam is your way out of the "hood" and into some kind of prominence. Please refer to my earlier posts, as I describe what myself, and anyone else with at least one eye open has been witness to.
These are undeniable facts, crimes against humanity committed by your Idols, the radical muslims. You're a disgrace, and really, to call you a jackass would be an insult to donkeys around the globe.
Therefore, Anti-American, Jew hating, white man blaming little troll.....it's your turn.
FBI is just 'Hood Jihadi' under another name DC..
We have classified info on him, he will be added on to are future terrorist database.
Affirmative
i just saw on fox news that hoodies favorite apologist jesse jackass said that invading iraq was a crime against humanity. that our soldiers were murduring iraqis. sounds like the same trash spewing from the homeboys at noi.
Does Jesse realize that the reason he can make these type of comments is because our soldiers have fought and died all over the world for that freedom? Evidently not......This is very disrespectful to our Armed Forces.
If he were over there, they'd take him hostage too.....some people you just can't reach....And Mr. Jackson seems to be one of them.
Just found this site. Excellent posts.
I would like for people to stop referring to Islam as a religion and start referring to it as a political movement. For that is what Islam truly is. The minute Islam is no longer viewed as a religion is the time when people will wake up to the threat it poses to the U.S. and Europe. Until that time Islam will be protected here and it will become very powerful within the U.S. under the guise of religion. CAIR is the most blatant attempt of the muslim political movement to gain power and legitimacy. CAIR and organizations like it must be stopped.
I have also recently come to the conclusion that there is no such thing as a Moderate Muslim. That phrase is pure fiction, a fairy tale, maybe even created out of Western fear that there must be moderate muslims, because if not, we're in for one heck of a war. But it's true, there are no moderate muslims who want to assimilate into American society. What people don't realize is that "moderate muslim" really means: "One who isn't willing to strap a bomb on his/her back for the islamic political movement, yet who supports destruction of the host society."
However, those "moderates" are sitting on the edge of their seats waiting for the day Sharia law rules America. So in a relative sense they are moderate, but only moderate relative to the sickey who will die for the cause. Meanwhile, the moderates sit back, reproduce, and wait until their numbers have swelled to such an extent that they become the majority and are able to impose their will on the new society.
For an example of this see the Hammtrack, MI story about the Islam Call to Prayer Loudspeaker. This is frightening stuff. Surely there is room for a third party (Islam) in our governmental system, let's just not pretend it wants to co-exist with the other two.
Bartb is right; nobody move to Maine. It's fairly quite up here in the Northwoods, and we like it that way and don't want any more company. Yes, we have high taxes, too liberal welfare benefits, and lots of drugs-there are everywhere, and just yesterday I was reading in the newspaper where our idiot governor is backing a new law saying the cops can't question anyone to see if they are immigrants. Sweet.
Actually not a real Mainiac but from "away" orginially, and I live about an hour north of Lewiston. I remember the flap about the Somalis, and the poor mayor in Lewiston got the short end of the stick and did not seek reelection. They were arriving in large numbers from Georgia, and he was just doing his job to protect the financial stability of the city by asking them moderate the migration. There was alot of the we'll come to your town to show your our culture thing; but that was only in the first few months cause nobody showed up, and haven't heard a word since. Did strike me odd about comments that they were opening businesses and attending college etc.; kind of makes you wonder where the money came from but figured it was Uncle Sam.
BTW, we have alot of immigrants here for apple picking, blueberries etc.; and they routinely run immigration checks on the highways, but maybe that will stop now. Besides, we are ready cause just about every Mainiac owns at least ten guns and knows how to use them.
Hood Jihadi, you say you are a man of peace. If that is so, why do you hate Jews? There's no peace in hating other people because of the color of their skin or what nationality or ethnic group they are. Oh I get it. It's more Islamobabble. You say you are for peace because peaces means a temporary refraining from hostilities when you are outnumbered. Ah...
The muzlo-crazies think like insects protecting the hive "Islam." However, the more people they murder, the more propaganda they "spew" trying to dissemble the truth...the more coverups and benign "fronts" they put forward...the more it puts the Western world into two camps against itself.
The rest of the world had better get its information right...that Islam is not a religion, it is a war cult that uses propaganda and dissemulation of the truth and fronts of all kind...to confuse the enemy. Anyone who tries to see them for who they are, is called a racist, a bigot, aliar, a redneck, or insane.
The fact remains, Moslem terrorists murdered 10,000 innocent people in the name of Allah last year, and would have murdered 100,000 more if they had not been stopped by good intelligence work...Islam is a diabolical enemy that is growing each year by a factorof 100, and it is folly to believe that it will ever burn itself out. It can only be stamped out, enclaved, deported, or removed to places where it cannot hurt other human beings.
