FBI will interview more people to prevent terrorism

From the looks of this article, they aren't going to be questioning any Presbyterian grandmothers, either. Watch for charges of profiling and charges of a "witch hunt," but until Al-Qaeda starts recruiting Methodists, the FBI is doing the right thing. From AP, with thanks to Jeffrey Imm:

WASHINGTON (AP) - Fearing terrorist attacks this summer and fall, the FBI is using its latest intelligence to expand interviews in U.S. communities to try to find al-Qaida operatives before they strike.

An FBI official said the interviews will be driven by information gathered by the 2004 Threat Task Force, composed of bureau agents and analysts, plus experts from the intelligence community and the Department of Homeland Security.

The official said only a small number of interviews have taken place so far, but they will be conducted on a larger scale in coming weeks.

Among the more immediate concerns are potential attacks at the national political parties' conventions late this month and in late August. ...

The FBI has conducted community interviews before, going into Arab-American neighborhoods after the 9/11 hijackings to seek information. After the United States invaded Iraq last year, the FBI interviewed thousands of Iraqi-born individuals living in the United States to try to uncover potential terrorists and to protect the foreign-born from hate crimes.

Jesus, I was just in Paris this weekend and it is a damn shame. Paris is a beautiful city. So much tradition and (Proud) history. this country was beautiful. the city of Paris is unquestionably beautiful.

But when I saw a Jewish man and his young son walking near the operahouse, the look of concern on this mans face and his fast walk was unmistakable. His wide brim, black hat and suit showed though that he refused to give in to the anti-semites in France.

I saw a large group of Hasidich (spelling?) man at the airport and they were being escorted by a three machine gun weilding commandos.

Then I went by the Molin Rouge cabaret at 7:30 Am. The neighborhood was suddenly not French, despite the architecture, signs etc. The language was Arabic. I saw a large group of middle eastern teenagers behaving with complete disregard for anybody. They were a roving gang and at one point one member began beating another with fists and kicks. All the while the Arabic tongue was babbling away. The only satisfaction I got while making my hasty retreat was witnissing one Arab throw a punch at another, he missed and hit the security shutter of a store screaming in pain.

France is like the owner of a beautiful antique car. There is nothing wrong with the car, but one day he is in a Strauss Automotive store he and sees a bottle of Engine Renew. Going against every instinct that he posesses, he reads on the bottle how the renew will make his car better than new, all he has to do is pour it in the gas tank.

Throwing all caution to the wind and ignoring the red alerts that are going off in his head he convinces him self that the testimonials on the bottle, describing how Jimmy Smith tried it and his car was now running super...better than new.

He plunks down the $99.95 and proceeds to pour the product in the gas tank. But in the back of his mind, his obsession with fixing something that isn`t broken keeps nagging at him. Too late!! He holds his breath and puts this foul smelling liguid in the gas tank of his beautiful vintage Farrari.

OK, now for the first few minutes, the damn cars feels great. Just as he wipes his brow and smiles at how he dodges the bullet on this one, He stops at the red löight and suddenly, the car starts shaking, slowly at first, then violently. Oh my God, smoke is coming out the back, the car is back-firingand a big puddle of oil beneath the car.

This is what France and Europe are. They were bored with all the beauty and culture, Western culture, so they decided 30 years ago to fix something that wasn't broken. Lets have uncontrolled immigration into Europe. Lets create Islamic Culture Centers in every city and not require integration. Lets built ghettos for all of these Muslims, they will love us for giving them the honor of our presence!

Fixing something that wasn't broken always has the same effect, the object really becomes broken and it can never be made or repaired as it was before.

That is the state that the instigators of the EAD (FRANCE) find themselves in. A country invaded at its own behest and conqured socially, culturally and soon demographically without the gall to do what is inevitable. Reform Immigration now.

Yes, Muslims are being targeted, and rightfully so. They've infested our great nation screaming racism (ummm, Islam is not a race), propping up a smoke screen while their chaos loving Islamic brothers plot to kill Americans.

Our Government should be ashamed of itself for allowing so much immigration from the Middle East to ever occur in the first place. It's truly created a mess for all of us. We don't need migrants here from the land of the sand. What on earth was the purpose? So they could get small business loans to buy up all of the 7-11s and gas stations? Loans our own citizens can't obtain.

So they could come here and not pay income tax for what?, 5 to 7 years? While all of us pay our taxes. We pay the taxes, and yet have no voice in who our immigration services lets in here.

It's become sickening. Sorry Muslims, but if you're trolling, you are being watched, and you oooga booga looga chatter is being listened to. It's not a witch hunt, it's a terrorist hunt.

Terrorists that hide behind the Islamic label. So too bad for any of you that want to portray the victim. 9-11-2001 will not be forgotten, and we won't forget who did all of that senseless killing. It's way past time for Somali neighborhoods to be raided and interrogated. And, it's coming.

Your feelings aren't important, Muslims. Sorry, but welcome to the 21st century. Perhaps it'd be best if you all got together and spent some time re-thinking your current position. Oh, remember this. There are organizations in the United States that are bound, and obligated to protect this country if there is ever an attempt by any group to overthrow our Government. Most are armed.

So if any of you half-wit Muslims think that you're ever, ever going to have Islamic theocracy in the U.S., be prepared to tell the drunken rapist prophet Mohammed at the gates of hell that you failed because all of you underestimated the will of the United States......

While watching the news yesterday morning I had one of those "moments of clarity". There was a report about King Abdullah of Jordan , who claims he will be stepping up secuity measures on the iraq-jordan border to stop terrorist insurgents pouring into Iraq. I always take such things with a pinch of salt especially when coming from the mouth of a muslim.But at the same time I realised that although the muslims pouring into europe are not blatantly driving in with machine guns and rocket launchers as the radical nutjobs in iraq are doing,the same kind of maniacs, with the same passionate hatred for the west;are still getting into europe in massive numbers. The same, on a possibly much smaller scale, is happening in America which left me thinking why ,when it is so clear to me what needs to be done to stop terrorist attacks happening in the free world , is it not clear to the FBI, the governments of America and Europe ( and dare I say our middle eastern -ahem- "allies).

For christs sake do something about these crazed, murdering vermin coming into our countries if not iraq, it is really out of control, and it's just plain idiocy to keep on allowing it to happen!!!This is the answer to preventing terrorism.

I'd also like to say if their are any muslims reading this, or sympathizers of that religion of scum, if you think what I've just said is rascist then (A)you are wrong ,(B)I don't care anymore
(C)Sue me for not wanting my country overun with people I have less respect for than bacteria.

DC Watson, your comment on this page is ;as usual, spot on but don't you sometimes feel like we're not being heard?Like we're preaching to the choir and the people who need to be listening to us have their heads buried in each others arseholes?I certainly do!!!

Hello Rikki. Sometimes it gets frustrating but I think that this site, and Frontpagemag.com are so very vital to what we're saying. I feel that with the number of hits both this site, and Frontpage see, we are being seen and or heard. Frontpage had over 87 million hits in June. Unless my eyesight has gone bad.

We just need to keep plugging away at this. Chipping away at the stone. Our Government officials need to be sent some of our commentary so they're aware that we're aware. I've exchanged e-mails with Senator Mike DeWine, and he's very good about responding.

It's quite obvious that Muslims are attempting a "Trojan Horse" strategy here, in Canada, and in Europe. This certainly needs to stop. Our national laws should never be bent for them or their alleged "faith". Just keep hitting it. Let your officials know what you think.

Too many liberals are willing to sit back and deny the threat these people pose. So, it'll be up to us to keep spreading the word about what we know.

The time has arrived, like it or not, for a National ID Card. If we want to maintain free movement and travel in this country, it is going to have to be implemented. It would be a powerful tool for all law enforcement agencies to use to get a grip on controlling homland security. Many people are afraid of a database being kept on them, but it is already being done to a certain extent anyways. Let's once and for all take inventory of our population, and this would improve the security of our nation immensely.

Westernrevenge.....very good ideas. The ID cards would have to be made so there is no duplication even remotely possibe, but good idea anyway.

What the Muslims that have infested us need to remember is

1. Just because they've moved here does NOT make them Americans, and for them to think that way is not only stupid as hell, but typically arrogant of them.

2. Anyone with nothing to hide should have no problem with the Patriot Act, or being in databases.

The anger and hatred, the ranting, raving, and foaming at the mouth, exhibited by some of you people is truely pathetic. You obviously live your pathetic lives in terror of anyone of a different race, religion, or culture.

So now your secret police will conduct sweeps through peaceful Muslim neighborhoods, terrorizing and oppressing innocent people for the "crime" of being Muslim. Will they dress in combat garb and cover their faces when they kick in doors, beat and abuse women and children, and drag them off to the secret concentration camps that your government has been building? Will you employ the interrogation practices that you perfected in Abu Gharib?

Do you really believe that any Muslims will answer "questions" about their brothers? Are you unable to understand that Muslims owe their loyalty to Allah (swt) and the Muslim Ummah, not to your man-made governments?

Perhaps you would like to read about how well you are doing in controlling your boarders now. Look here. National ID cards? Databases? The world is laughing at you. You are nothing but a gang of petty facists.

Incidentally, don't expect any help from your northern neighbors. Perhaps you should investigate the Canadians who post here. They may be terrorists. Truely you have no friends in the world.

Stop warring against Almighty Allah (swt). Stop oppressing Muslims. The hour grows late. Embrace Islam now and know true peace and freedom by living according to the commands of Almighty Allah (swt).

Your grandchildren will be Muslim.

Allahu akbar

Two points...

No national ID card, not now, not ever. I will not be stamped, processed, identified, numbered, or tagged like people destined for the ovens. Never! My life is my own! You want to see riots? Try instituting one of these.

Reza, I am not interested in your wife-beating, lying, murdering, discriminatory, legalistic, oppressive cult. Now get lost. You can't respect my decisions, thus my dialog with you ends here.

~NMJ

Yet more Islamogarbage spewing like green bacterial ooze from the Koran thumping Raisin.

What the world is laughing at you little puke, is the century impaired Islamic cult that preaches death and destruction to anyone who doesn't belong to this pagan regime.

Raisin, you are truly a comical genius. But then again, to type what you type, you'd have to be.

Perhaps when citizens begin the thumping of these dedicated, silent Muslims, they'll start talking. Islamists are not welcome here. Americans want Muslims either penned up or removed from sight.

It's going to happen. Somalis step on everyone's feet, whites, blacks, and hispanics. This is to be expected since they've been dropped into a civilized society, something they've never seen bofore. They behave like clothed baboons, and are disrespectful to anyone who is not Somali. They tell African-Americans that they're not true Africans.

Answer me this F-stick.....What's so grand about being from a war-torn, famined, desolate crap heap like Africa that Somalis have to brag about? If it's so great there, why have they come here and stunk up the place?

Nonetheless, Muslims, you're feelings do not matter. Any cult that calls for the eradication of non Muslims is the epitome of racism, and bigotry. You, Raisin sludge, are a prime example of Muslim bigots, who will all meet with their false prophet and falser god (allahdump) at Hell's gates, then all of you can jump in the lake of fire together.

Interviews that will be conducted aren't only to gain information, they're to root out the pigs that are in the "peaceful Muslim communities" and deal them justice. You ought to come to Ohio Raisin dung. Head into these "peaceful Muslim neighborhoods" and see if you come out with your ass handed to you.

Be my guest, come into Ohio, Columbus in particular, and run your mouth to the blacks in the North End.......Please, I'd love to see them tear you to shreads.....

Correction: before, not bofore.

Hmmm. I realize these sites all overlap in articles from time to time, but:

FrontPage

National Review Online

Newsmax.com

Insight on the News

TechCentralStation

Townhall.com

All print articles concerning islam.

And Reza! Welcome back! How go the Michael Moore rallies in your (nation of choice)?

Are none of you "tolerant" Americans (and other Westerners) embarrased by DC Watson's racist rants? Do all of you believe that black Africans are "clothed baboons" as Mr. Watson states? Do you also believe that the continent of Africa is a "crap heap"? Do all of you believe that "Americans want Muslims penned up or removed from sight"?

Are you people proud of this bigotry? Why do none of you disassociate yourselves from the embarrasing Mr. Watson?

Allahu akbar

Once again ... check out Reza's email address.

I hereby predict that the concept of internment camps will experience a resurgence, especially among the American public, for those who cannot be deported.

DC:

With you 100%.

The bigotry is on the part of Islam. And, I noticed that Raisin seperated African Americans from "Black Africans". Get your story straight Raisin, I said Somalis.....I have friends from other African Nations.....and yes......you kook puke, they too left because it is a crap heap. That's why they're here, and even they, are embarrassed by the Somalian population.

Save your crap for those who'll believe it. Also, if you don't think that the majority of Americans would like to see Islam and Muslims in another area of the world, preferably where they came from, you're as ignorant as your comments.

I've still heard, and have seen absolutely nothing from Raisin decrying the beheadings we've had to endure watching. The kidnappings, bombings, rapes, wife beatings, mutilations,and torture that Islam promotes. As I stated earlier, if Islam would get a grip on reality, and stop acting like they have no sense (which most do not with a 62% illiteracy rate), they would be accepted as humans. There is only one race, that would be the human race. membership simply requires us to remember that we're not primitive, barbaric, non-bathing cavemen.

Unfortunately, Raisin, and his Islamotrash racist bigots haven't figured that out.

Reza,

I will not presume to speak for any other member of this discussion board, but I will speak for myself. Are we, as Americans, “tolerant?”

I believe we are. I do not know of any nation on this planet that boasts a population that varies with as many nationalities and ethnicities as does the United States. And yet, instead of splitting into factions based upon our differences, we most often come together to celebrate our commonalities.

There is something about the United States that is special. We are the only nation on earth that still has the ideals of youth, tempered by the responsibilities of unprecedented power. We believe, perhaps naively, that right makes might, and that our power comes from the strength of trying to do what is moral and just.

In comparison, what “tolerance” do we see from other nations of the world? Very little, until it is their time of need. And yet, instead of neglecting or abandoning them in kind, we assist them. We do what we can, which is often beyond doing what we should. That is what separates us from other nations, Reza.

You speak of tolerance while practicing totalitarian oppression. You have no dissent in your Arab nations, because dissent leads to death.

In American we revel in our dissimilarities, and bask in our differences.

“Tolerant,” Reza?

Like no other nation on earth.

Reply to NMJ,

If you didn't realize it, you are already a member of this country's huge data system. From your social security number, to your credit report, to phone and cellphone records,to your driver's license and license plates, to check and credit card transactions, to the IRS, to voter's registration, to the selective service, ect, ect, ect. Cellphones have GPS tracking capabilities, so big brother can find you anytime they would like to. YOU HAVE BEEN MARKED BY NUMBERS YOUR WHOLE LIFE, WAKE UP!

A National ID Card would be a huge blow to terrorism in the USA!

Very well put, Bob Owens. And you're absolutely right. Unfortunately, Raisin, and his pals always received an "N", which stood for "Needs Improvement" in the "Citizenship" category on their report cards that read "works and plays well with others"

Thanks DC,

By the way, western is dead-on, NMJ. Unless you've never lived outside of a cave, you've got tons of data out there, most of which you gave away freely, and commercially. What do you think your credit report is? Or even your grocery store discount card? Reams of personal information, given away for services and discounts.

I suggest reading Dan Brown's Digital Fortress, which highlights that that government intelligence is more interested in parsing out the average individual's personal info that collecting it. Most of it is just pure junk as far as they are concerned.

The primary benefit of a national ID is that it would create a harder to forge document than a state ID, and it would (presumably) do a better job of organizing that data.

Has anyone else noticed that Reza's posts are more agitated and frantic lately? She used to just spew-and-run. Now she addresses individuals, although you'll notice that she never answers any of the hard questions.

I think that two things are happening:
1. We've gotten under her skin.
2. She's starting to realize that the ummah is doom-ahed.

muslims are the only ignoramuses on the planet pig-headed enough to demand "tolerance" while they slit your throat.

With respect to the gun ownership issues raised herein, let me add that eventually private gun ownership will be outlawed.

Australia outlawed guns just a few years ago! Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't they make it a serious crime to possess guns? Didn't they give everbody a grace period to turn their guns over to the local authorities? Canada is contemplating doing the same thing and I suspect will follow suit within the next year or so.

At some point, there will be a ball-less US President (Kerry by choice, Hillary by nature) at the time of a massive debilitating terror attack on US soil who will declare martial law with the stroke of a pen and summarily outlaw the posession of guns by private citizens.

This will happen. Mark my words and it's going to happen within the next small handful of years.

Actually I think Reza (or at least the name) is a male name in MuslimWorld. Possibly Iranian, which translates to the word "Raisin". Otherwise, if Raisin were a women, she would be doing complaining about the woman beating that takes place when Muslim women, who I have much less of a problem with, are slapped around by their inadequate male partners.

TIP: Purchase a gun case impervious to the elements and bury your gun-filled cases below the frostline on high ground where water won't pool. They can remain there indefinitely in perfect working order. But gun cases can be expense.

Alternatively, wrap'em in oil-soaked rags then wrap that in a thick-grade aluminum foil and bury'em like that. They'll be good for years.

Alternately, live in a country with a Constitutional right to bear arms...

DC:

Reza is a man's name, but judging from the linguistic style and some key elements of the content, this Reza is a woman.

CGW, you are funny. Perhaps a bity of femininity on behalf of Raisin is the deep rooted problem here. But, I'm no shrink.....

Bob Owens:

It's a constitutional right UNTIL martial law is declared. Martial Law SUSPENDS one or more portions of the Constitution.

To the best of my knowledge, martial law has never been successfully applied to a well-armed civilian population.

It would certainly not work here in the United States, where there are 250 civilian firearms for every military one (est).

I'ld like to request that each of us write to our Senators and Representatives and make our voices be heard by the folks who can make the changes that we all desire as posted here at jihadwatch. Tell them what you say here. If enough of our voices are heard - then maybe we can get this immigration situation changed.

Write your CongressMan/Woman Today.

C'mon folks I know it releases a little tension firing back at Reza, but it's far more effective to just blank him.We're just playing into his hands. The guy's an idiot, albiet a very primitive thinking, obsessively religious idiot and his opinions are almost as worthless as he and the rest of the worldwide muslim population are.

My last comment aside, has anyone actually looked at the link e-reza posted about hte mexicans taking over California? Scary shit if you ask me, but one things for certain, the muslims would get just as much aggro from a hispanic populaiton as most of them are devout catholics (still infadels).Do muslims really think any enemy of the US is a friend of theirs.
The only common simularity I can see between these mexican "reclaimers" and muslims is they both believe that having hundreds of children per family is the way to beat their enemy, let them carry on, it will be the death of them over-population is the reason why all third world countries are in such a rock bottom state and it will eventually lead to mass starvation, disease and death.

One more thing Reza , much as I begrudge even acknowledging your existence, but how is it you assume I am racist : I have many friends from different ethnic backgrounds , can you profess the same. Among my friends of different cultures (Hindus, sikhs, Greeks, Jamaicans... the list goes on) there are no muslims and we all have simular opinions of islam in general (you see; you guys don't really come across as all that friendly), so before you start mouthing off that Americans have no friends in the world maybe you should actually stop and have a good look at how the majority of the world view muslims, I mean how many countries or cultures have some kind of conflict with islam.Don't you realise that you and your ilk are the epitome of loneliness and isolation.The world is begining to see islam for what it really is , a hate-filled , brainwashing ,satanic death cult. You may have a few sympathizers left but even they are rapidly dwindling, and it will not be long before you have made an enemy out of every single race and culture on the planet just because you believe they are infadels for not seeing eye to eye with you. The entire non-muslim world will soon loathe you and when that day comes you better pray like you've never prayed before.

Your grandchildren will have never heard of the extinct muslims. WE WILL ERADICATE YOU!!!

Believe it or not, I'm with Reza on the futility of national ID's. If it's a document, it can be forged, and some of the best forgers on the planet operate in Islamic countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Egypt. A national ID will just be another stupid thing whereby politicians appear to "do something", when in reality all they will do will inconvenience the law-abiding.

However, Reza, I can't agree with you that conversion to Islam will bring us peace. Look what Arabs and Darfuris--both Muslim--are doing to each other in Sudan. A Kurdish blogger tells me that in Iran, they're trying to keep Kurds and Balochi out of universities in Iran (two Sunni minorities in an Ithna'ahsariyya Shi'ite state)--and isn't it interesting that both of these ethnic minorities are getting militant?

The relations between Kurds, Arabs, Persians, and Turks--all Muslims, are notoriously bad. The Palestine Liberation Organization--that mother of Islamic martyrs and mujaheddin--bloodily wore out its welcome in every Muslim Arab state where it set up shop. The birth of Pakistan was an especially bloody episode of Muslim-on-Muslim violence.

Also, the history of the Islamic world from the death of Muhammad on has been conflict, conflict, conflict--like that of anyone else. Indeed, if you are an Iranian of the Shi'at Ali, don't you yearly mourn the assassinations and battle deaths of Ali, Hassan, and Hussein at the hands of other Muslims? Did not the Muslim Central Asian Turk/Mongol Timur-e-lang ravage Iranian lands back in the 15th century? Did not Muhammad Ahmad, the self-styled Mahdi of the late 19th century Sudan, bloodily massacre Egyptians and Turks? Were not the original Ismaili Shi'ah Assassins the terror of Muslim rulers as well as Crusaders, until the Mongols wiped them out?

This is a further reason why I cannot accept a religion that believes man, since the fall of Adam, remains basically good. East and West, I think the Christian doctrine of original sin (a propesnity to the hatred of God and fellow man in which we are born)is most manifestly a fact of life as well as a theological belief.
