I don't find any confirming stories, but here is one provocative report from Texas. From FederalNewsRadio.com, with thanks to Al-Canine:
A South African woman picked up in Texas almost 10 days ago may turn out to be a key, high level al-Qaida operative.Her name is Farida Goolam Mohamed Ahmed. She was stopped at McAllen Miller International Airport on July 19th headed to New York.
Eddie Flores of the U.S. Border Patrol office in McAllen, Texas tells FederalNewsRadio.com that a review of her papers raised some concerns. "In looking at her documents, they did not find any entry documents in her passport where she was legally admitted into the United States," says Flores....
Government sources tell FederalNewsRadio.com that capturing this woman could be comparable to the arrest of Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of 9/11. It was revealed in court yesterday that she was on a watch list and had entered the U.S. possibly as many as 250 times.
I don't want to get too excited either, but isn't it just like the jihadists to extend equal rights to women not to become professional, independent, "opininated," but...to kill themselves?
http://www.wtopnews.com/ is also running the story. Note that she got in the "Taco Bell" way: via Mexico, she made a "run for the border."
This good ammunition for those who want more rigorous border security with our southern neighbor. Time to make a trip to Homeland Depot and start deploying concertina wire and land mines from the Gulf to the Pacific.
Sorry Vincente, but if they were targeting Mexico City instead of New York, I'm sure you'd feel the same way.
Folks,
Check out the major news sites now, OBL and his cohorts just declared Jihad on the EU et al, because we did not give in to his demands!
Bring 'em on! Time to clear the streets, I'd say!
Some of us Brits are up for it!
Bob Owens, I'm with you on this one. Texas is my back yard and we don't need this. People down here have been having a fit over tihs border for a long time and your idea sounds like the best one yet.
Mr.Owens,I have posted again under
Iraqi Sheikh: Kill Muslims who protect infidels
Sorry OT , Please delete in hours ...3?

Her name is Farida Goolam Mohamed Ahmed???
Strange name for a woman. Except for the first name, the rest three are masculine names.
And if this woman is so important an Al Qaeda operative, how come her passport has 4 pages missing and then she chooses such an obviously suspicious name. Sloppy acts for an important operative.
Something fishy here.
On a watch list, entered the country as many as 250 times? Better late than never.......then again BETTER NEVER LATE.
Maybe it's time to do the Al-Jazeera video tape thing.
Just curious, is this site intended for Republican uses only?
I must have been mistaken to think that it was an International site that provided needed information on Jihad.
I am an American and proud of it! I also am a Democrat and equally proud to be able to choose which party I am affiliated with.
I am beginning to resent all the jabs that are taken at Democrats.
Another example of behaving as if this country is not at war. Imagine the numbers of evil doers that pass over our southern AND northern borders. And this woman entered at least 250 times. This fact alone is a disgrace. We need to know who comes in and goes out of this country. Immigrants are welcome, but we are all safer if we are able to screen immigrants BEFORE they enter.
The situation is one of bureaucratic denial or collusion with the enemy. Both are unacceptable.
Freedom,
As you stated "the jabs that are taken at the democrats",are well deserved.
It is the politically correct liberal policies of the Democrats that has weaken this country.
America has sunken down into an abyss of imorality and decadence.We have lost our connection with God and the populace is consumed and obsessed with sex and violence.
The looney left Hollywood phonies have helped to bring this on ,with their mentor and idol, Michael Moore ,the fat America hating slob leading the way.
The deterioration and degeneration of our culture and society has only helped to facilitate the agenda of the Islamo-fascists.
Not so log ago the "ACLU" and the rest of the left wing fascists forced the removal of the Ten Commandments in Alabama.The liberal left wing democrats are more concerned with the "civil rights' of the Islamo-fascists,the enemy within, than they are with the security of this country.
The comfort of the few has been come more important than the safety of the many.
Please tell what the Democratic Party has to offer in keeping this country safe from Islamic terrorism and how will the Democrats combat the Islamo-terrorists abroad.
Freedom,
Futhermore, the vast deferences between how the Republicans and the Democrats would handle this critical issue of Islamo-terrorism here and abroad, is most relevant to this website ,as it is The United States that is leading this fight.
The Republicans are not without critcisim. There is much more that the Bush Administration must do in this area, and I do not mean diplomaticlly.
This is not a problem that will be solved by appeasement or capitulation.
We have been attacked and are at WAR, as with the rest of the world that has been invaded by the onslaught of Islamo-fascism
To FREEDOM,
I am a registered Republican and avid follower of JihadWatch. However, I am at the same time dissatisfied with the response that our current administration has had towards the mortal threat that faces our nation.
As an eye-witness to the events of 9/11 and also a resident of Manhattan (which remains within the cross-hairs as a bulls-eye target of Islamic extremists) , I am eager to see some genuine, non-partisan efforts made by our government to keep my city and our country safe from another devastating attack.
I believe that JihadWatch offers intelligent insight from seasoned JihadWatchers who are well versed in the content and meanings of the Islamic faith. There is so much to learn here, from everyone who participates in this forum.
I would advise you to keep an open mind and read all of the postings in order to formulate a fair and informed point of view.
Freedom,
I have been awaiting your responce.
You must be watching that Three Ring Circus of Clowns, the Democratic National Convention.
As you are a member of the Democratic Party,possibly you could explain Mrs.Kerry's behavior, either she is heavily medicated or she has some form of brain damage.
al-canine,
I am in agreement with you , the Bush Administration has much more to do in combating the scourge of Islamo-fascism.
Below is a website that I believe would be of interest to you.
http://www.nycforbush.com/
al-Canine
I am eager to see some genuine, non-partisan efforts made by our government to keep my city and our country safe from another devastating attack.
Ditto that!
I would advise you to keep an open mind and read all of the postings in order to formulate a fair and informed point of view.
I have been coming to this site for a few months. I have always had the idea to take what I needed and leave the rest! However, this bashing of Americans by Americans at a time when I think we need to be pulling together as “one nation, under God” has me a little confused. The beauty of living in America is that I have the freedom of choice. I also have an educated mind that allows me to make these choices.
I live in the Bible belt. My state is predominantly Republican. My best friend is a Republican. I have nothing against Republicans. I do not bash them, as it is their choice to be registered as such. I do not always vote for the Democrat. I support the person I feel is right for the job! I too am dissatisfied with the current administration. My big problem here is that I am also not able to support John Kerry at this time. However, this is irrelevant to the world’s big problem.
I have only posted to this site on 2 occasions. Normally I support the commenter because it is their freedom to say what they want to say. I just am beginning to feel attacked by my own countrymen because of my party affiliation. Not all Democrats are leftist. I do not consider myself a leftist. I do not support everything Democratic because I am a Democrat. I have no control over Whoopie, Mrs. Kerry or George Bush, but, this is America and they have their job to do as I have mine to do.
I have been watching the Convention as I will also be watching the Republican Convention. So I guess you could say that there may be a few bad apples in every bunch but I wont quit eating apples because of it!
Thank you for being kind, I appreciated it!
Freedom
to SON OF INFIDEL (also please note, FREEDOM):
Your postings are very intelligent and insightful. I look forward to reading them daily.
However, I believe you should give FREEDOM (and other newcoming dissenters/Democrats, etc.) a temporary break while they allow the Jihad Watch to "sink in." The fact that they have found Jihad Watch shows that they are intellectually curious and are seeking the truth. Truth should eventually transcend party lines.
To Son of Infidel:
You posted your last comment while I was composing mine. Thanks so much for the link!
I believe you are a resident of New York City?? Nevertheless, as I said before, I so much appreciate your commentary here. I just read FREEDOM's last comment as well, and am prompted to reiterate...
There are so many curious people with so much to learn and understand. Let's just try and get along, for goodness' sake. We can learn so much from each other.
To FREEDOM:
You do sound quite intelligent and open-minded. I too was born and raised in the bible belt, and I continue to be active in politics as well as attend church services in NYC. I so much appreciate your point of view.
There is a full range of opinion here at Jihad Watch, and I am glad you have learned to "take what you need and leave the rest."
Please stay with us and please continue to assert your point of view. Be a uniter not a divider; that's what our country needs now more than ever.
Son of Infidel
America has sunken down into an abyss of immorality and decadence. We have lost our connection with God and the populace is consumed and obsessed with sex and violence.
And you are blaming who??? Don’t tell me that only Democrats have lost the connection with God because it is the responsibility of the believer to keep their own connection with God. You will not get me to heaven because you are a Republican, as I cannot get there by being either party affiliation. I am not obsessed with sex and violence so speak for yourself alone on this one!
The looney left Hollywood phonies have helped to bring this on ,with their mentor and idol, Michael Moore ,the fat America hating slob leading the way.
I can’t judge the “looney left Hollywood phonies” or their “idol.” I have yet to see F911 but someday I might. Can’t count me in with this bunch either as I am not from Hollywood nor do I have any control over what they do.
The deterioration and degeneration of our culture and society has only helped to facilitate the agenda of the Islamo-fascists.
And there is not one Republican who has had any involvement with this deterioration? Rumor is that the administration had a heads up on the attacks before they happened.
The way I see it is that we are all in this together and only together are we going to beat the Islamo-fascists.
You did not ask me for my opinion on the ME situation or on the terrorist so I wont give it, but rest assured that it would include many of the same thoughts I have seen you post as well as others. I will not debate Democrat or Republican rights or wrongs. I only want you to remember that no matter what the party affiliation is, we are “one nation” fighting together to end these atrocities.
Freedom
Freedom,
Welcome!
This is indeed an international site, built with education in mind. We exist as a community to bring the important issues surrounding radical Islam and Jihad to the public eye. The vast majority of posters here are rational, credible human beings from many races and cultures around the world, from many walks of life, and with varying levels of education.
You are indeed free to proudly choose and stand by your party. That said, it is important to make sure that your political party has your country's best interests at heart. You will find very few here that believe that today’s Democrat leadership, with their massive, sudden shift to the liberal wing of the party, is as worried about our security as a nation as they should be.
Whether it is fair or not, Democrats are viewed in the general public as being weak on matters of national defense. In my lifetime (I'm in my mid-30s) there have been but two Democrat Presidents, Carter and most lately Clinton. Both were accused of gutting the military and intelligence budgets. Carter's presidency is marked almost solely for the 444 days he let Americans be held captive by Islamic extremists. Here too, Clinton was weak, in any objective sense, mishandling five separate Islamic attacks on American targets during his two terms in office.
For these reasons and others, many people feel Democrats are indirectly responsible for the events leading up to 9/11.
I for one have great respect for the traditional values of the Democrat Party, even though they did not always agree with my own personal views. Unfortunately, especially in the past year leading up to this week’s Democrat Convention, the party has veered sharply away from the moderate blue-color base that supported it for so many years to the near Marxist ideology of socialists in fringe groups and in academia. The current national candidates are the most liberal candidates in this country’s history. At a time where national security is the hot button issue of the election, many feel betrayed by a Democrat Party that they see as sacrificing our safety to score political points with extremists here at home.
That is where I feel the animus comes from, freedom. That said, I hope you will say and contribute to this community. All are welcome, here, as long as they can provide intelligent discourse, or in the case of a few posters, provide case studies of what we struggling against.
Good luck, I hope to see you around for quite a while.
Thank you Bob Owens! You said it wonderfully and I agree with you. (oops, does this make me a traitor?)
Freedom
al-canine,
Thank you for your remarks reguarding my postings, they are most appreciated.
I would hope that your comment,"Truth should eventually transcend party lines", comes to pass,although I am not so oppimistic that this will happen.
Unfortunately many of the Democrats suffer from the affliction of "left wing liberalism",for which a cure has yet to be found.
It is good to hear from a fellow Christian here in New York.
Sincerely,
Son of Infidel
Bob Owens,
Thank you for setting the record straight on abominable track record of the past Democratic Administrations.
Hopefully Freedom will come to his senses and leave the Democratic Party which as you so clearly stated has become a party of Marxist ideology and etxreme left wing liberalism
Sorry about the typo's.
It should read "on the abominable track record"
"Hopefully,Freedom"
"and extreme left wing liberalism"
I suspect Osama Bin's Girlfriend came into the country 250 times 'cause she has a job at Wal-Mart!
Son of Infidel-
I didn't know you had a soft side!
Freedom and Al-Canine-
Smoooch!
Hey fellas, stop the bickering.United we stand or
Divided we fall...The enemy is at the gate or Texas to be exact and you're arguing about who left the gate open!! Presume you mean Al Quaeda is the enemy not each other.
Now Farida Dahdi Do might turn out to be someone
really important like Osama's B's Bit on the Side
when he's not with the wives[think it was 5 at last count, he's one over Mo' which is probably why he's got kidney trouble and looks very old and
yellow - Allah doesn't approve] or one of Islam's
downtrodden Molls. Regardless of being treated as
a worthless woman of less value than a she camel,
Farida is ready to explode for Islam.[No,I'm not talking about mammoth farts].Alas, her reward as
a woman will not be 72 hard young men waiting to
be sampled in Paradise. Her reward will be NOTHING. Because where does it say in the Qur'an that a woman has a soul....
Dear Son of Infidel:
Again, I thank you so much for the site recommendation: NYCforBush.com
As a Republican, I so much wish I could whole-heartedly endorse a Bush presidency for the 2004 elections. The alternative choice does not leave me feeling very safe. However, I am troubled by the following issues:
1) President George W. Bush was not supportive to the formation/mission of the 9/11 commission
May 23, 2002
Bush Opposes 9/11 Query Panel
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/05/15/attack/main509096.shtml
President Bush took a few minutes during his trip to Europe Thursday to voice his opposition to establishing a special commission to probe how the government dealt with terror warnings before Sept. 11.
2) At the onset, Bush refused to cooperate with the 9/11 commission in providing valuable testimony
March 3, 2004
9/11 Panel Rejects White House Limits on Interviews
http://www.nytimes.com/2004/03/03/politics/03PANE.html?ex=1091246400&en=3008d8990cc3d25e&ei=5070
WASHINGTON, March 2 — The independent commission investigating the Sept. 11 attacks is refusing to accept strict conditions from the White House for interviews with President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney and is renewing its request that Mr. Bush's national security adviser testify in public, commission members said Tuesday.
Again, I hate to be a bore while repeating info I posted before, but I watched 9/11 unfold before my own eyes, and I smelled the stench of death for months, while surrounded by the plaintive pleas of loved ones seeking their lost ones. My spouse's firm is moving this coming week from midtown to new headquarters in the World Financial Center, adjacent to Ground Zero and the to-be-built "Freedom Tower." I believe I have a vested interest in the safety and security of my city and our country, and I have yet to receive assurance from either candidate that the most pertinent issues will be addressed in a timely and strategic manner.
HOWEVER, Son of Infidel, let me stress once again that I so much appreciate your intelligent point of view and the contributions that you make to this site. But I do believe there is room here for a wider point of view. Best wishes and good night.
Freedom,
Bob Owens has made some very good points, you should carefully consider them and renounce your current party affiliation.
I am glad to hear that you are not obsessed with sex and violence, neither am I.
"Can't count me in with this bunch either as I am not from Hollywood nor do I have any control over what they do.
One does not have to be from Hollywood to agree with these left wing idiots.I am releaved to hear that you are not in agreement with them.
Although I am concerned about your interest in seeing Fahrenheit 911.If you do some research, you will discover that this film is "left wing propaganda trash"
Your allegation that the Bush Administration had any advanced knowledge concerning the 911 terrorist attacks, is baseless and typical left wing liberal garbarge.
The Republicans are certianly not perfect, but they are a far cry better than the Maxsist ideology and politically correct left wing liberalism of the Democratic Party.
If you had read my previous post to you, you would have realized that I did request your Democratic opinion.
"Please tell what the Democratic Party has to offer in keeping this country safe from Islamic terrorism and how will the Democrats combat the Islamo-terrorists abroad."
I have yet to hear back from you concerning the above issues.
In any event welcome aboard and remmember vote: BUSH-CHENEY 2004!
al-canine,
When the Democrats can come up with a better game plan to combatting the Islamo-fascists here and abroad, and in addition to keeping this country safe, untill then, I'll vote Republican.
The way there going the Democratic Party is just about finished.
PS: I am still waiting to hear from Freedom and what the Dem's will do in this area better than the Republicans. I belive I will be waiting a very, very "long" time.
If there are any texans on this site , why not round up a lynch mob of rednecks, travel down to the mexican border and lie in wait in cammo gear, with rifles, and pop caps in every illegal alien that sneaks over the border.
You could have a points system:
Mexicans-1pt (sorry but they're 10 a penny)
Nicaraguans and Hodurese-2pts
El Salvadorians and Panamese-5pts
Colombians-10pts
Muslims-100 bonus points (shoot 100 and you win the round)
I am beginning to resent all the jabs that are taken at Democrats.

FrontPageMagazine.com | July 28, 2004
This is precisely the reason that Mr. Berger’s behavior must be seriously investigated. It matters not what his political affiliation is – though from my experience Democrat appointees seem more dismissive of rules of classification than Republicans. Perhaps it springs from an anti-establishment view. Nevertheless, safeguarding classified information is – or ought to be – drummed into the heads of all government officials, uniformed or civilian, career or political appointee, cabinet level or lounge lizard – from day one on the job.
We are dealing with real life not fanticy?

If these idiots haven't realized it yet, we are at WAR!
PS: What do you make of that babbling idiot Mrs.Kerry
Folks,
The Democrats are far from finished. Nor should they be. But after swinging so far to the radical left in this campaign season, I see it becoming very difficult for the DNC to come back to the center and attract moderate voters for several election cycles.
More than one pundit has remarked that this might be the last, bet hope for the Marxist, Chomsky-quoting leftovers of the 1960s. This presidential election is do or die for them.
If Kerry/Edwards doesn't pull through, liberal socialism will largely die as a viable political movement, not the Democratic Party. The younger generation is much more conservative than their parents were at their age. The writing is on the wall.
Who knows, may be we'll see a Democrat centrist like Zell Miller run Hillary out of the primaries in '08. I might actually consider voting for a Democrat then.
Time will tell.

Another reason that we pick on Democrats is that so many make it so darn hard not to:
At the Democrat Convention:
The Black Eyed Peas, who provided the finale Wednesday night with a rendition of their hit "Let's Get It Started." In actuality, the song on the CD is "Let's Get Retarded."
How are we supposed to give up gems such as these?
Bob,
Did you happen to see at the DNC Jimmy"peanut head" Carter sitting next to Michael Moore, the "Fat America hating slob".

Americans headed for the southern border should know that they will need to have a reliable 4x4, a GPS (got to know where you is) a two way radio, a rifle,(scoped, magazine fed) and a buddy with similar equipment.
I'm all set up, and not to far ('bout 4 hrs) from San Ysidro. I putting lockers on the CJ, so I can get traction in the rough. I can always use a buddy... consider this a proposal. And for you, I'd spring for the ac system.
