Al-Moayad update. "Code Words for 'Terror,'" from the New York Post, with thanks to Jeffrey Imm:
February 3, 2005 -- Brooklyn jurors on the terror-financing case of a Yemeni sheik yesterday viewed secret tapes of him huddling with an assistant — allegedly to create code words for weapons and ammunition.Not knowing his German hotel room was wired, Sheik Mohammed Ali Hasan al-Moayad allegedly suggested to his assistant that instead of referring to a shortage of ammunition, they could say, "The corn is running low."
"A person must be clever," al-Moayad, 56, tells Mohammed Mohsen Yahya Zayed, 31, on the tape. "For example, if you wish to buy ammunition . . . 'By God, Sheik Mohammed, we wish to buy corn. The corn is running low, should we buy it or what?'"...
On earlier tapes, jurors heard the sheik's alleged boasts that he was Osama bin Laden's spiritual adviser.
"He called me his sheik," al-Moayad said, according to court transcripts. "I used to teach him some of the Islamic laws."
Asked if he supported bin Laden "with money," al-Moayad responded, "Yes, financially yes, and I sat with him like now."
What can the defense say to this? What do you think?
Defense lawyers have challenged the accuracy of English translations provided by FBI interpreters.
That tears it. I am getting a new spiritual adviser. I am always being advised to trust in God, pray for my enemies and so on.
Never, never, never - not even once- has the subject of ammunition come up.

"The corn is running low"
We're obviously up against mental giants here. We're gonna need a Bletchley Park - where's that enigma machine?
I'm sure they will say the good sheihk was taken out of context. They'll say that the prosecution didn't present the recordings that contained their discussion where they were saying that when they wanted to "buy wheat commodities", they would refer to it as "buying ammunition", but then realized the phrase "buying ammunition" was alarming and should be referred to as "buying corn".
Sounds like the sheikh is taking cues from some of the al Qaeda guys involved in the heroin/opium business. Now, when the following intercept is obtained:
"What's the price of eggs in China?"
the CIA will have to wonder, is this an inquiry into the current price of
(A) a kilo of heroin
(B) a crate of AK-47's
(C) a box of Qurans
Dilophis

LOL, the common defense of Jihadists caught in the west. "It was out of context."

Corn of "Belt fed" kind I'm sure. Of course, it
was for a "family picnic" in Baghdad.
Corn must be unislamic, isn't that what the excuse usually is? You know, "we didn't murder X number of people because it's unislamic." Any defense is laughable with these guys. Can you imagine our CIA listening to their "coded" messages, slapping their heads wondering just what corn might be (yeh right).
Al-Moayad boasts that he was Osama bin Laden's spiritual adviser
That is comical! Al-Moayad and Osama bin Laden are as about as spiritual as a dung brick! Isalm isn't even spiritual in the sense that it works to achieve the best in humankind but rather the very opposite. Islam is as anti-spiritual as it is anti-liberty.
f.g.
I am beginning to believe that size of a muslim male brain must be directly proportionate to the size of their "little mohammed"
Naseem, don't take that out of context!
Linda, there may be a kernel of truth to that.
Sounds a 'Corny' story to me...
That tears it. I am getting a new spiritual adviser. I am always being advised to trust in God, pray for my enemies and so on.

Oh really??
I know you make a funny!!
But there were warnings??
REMEMBER Jesus did not come to change the laws of the prophets before him?? You can not understand the New without knowing the old!!!
and the OLD says??
False Prophets!
Deuteronomy chapter 13:1-19
Be careful to observe only that which I enjoin you. Neither add to it nor take away from it.
If there appears among you a prophet or dreamer-diviner and he gives you a sign or a portent. Saying let us follow and worship another god whom you have not experienced even if the sign or portent that he he named to come true, do not heed the words of that prophet or that dream-diviner. For the LORD your God is testing you to see whether you really love the LORD your GOD with all your heart and soul.
Follow none but the LORD your GOD and revere none, but Him, Observe His Commandments alone and head only His Orders Worship none but Him and hold fast to Him. As for that prophet or dreamer-diviner he shall be put to Death, for he urged disloyalty to the LORD your GOD- who freed you from the land of Egypt and who Redeemed you from the house of Bondage to make you stray from the path that the LORD your GOD Commanded you to Follow. Thus you will sweep out the Evil from your mist. If your brother, your own mothers son, or your son or daughter, or wife of your bosom, or your closest friend entices you to secret saying “ come let us worship other gods” whom neither you nor your father have experienced. From among the gods of the peoples around you either near to you or distant, anywhere from one end of the earth to the other. Do not assent or give heed to him, show him no pity or compassion, and do not shield him; but take his life let your hand be the first against him to put him to death and the land of the rest of the people there after, stone him to death for he sought to make you stray from the LORD your GOD who brought you out of the Land of Egypt out of the House of Bondage. This all Israel will hear and be afraid and such Evil things will not be done again in your mist, If you hear it said of one of the towns that the LORD your GOD is giving you to dwell in, that some scoundrels from among you have gone and subverted the inhabitants of their town saying “come let us worship other gods” whom you have not experienced. You shall investigate and inquire and interrogate thoroughly. If it is true, the fact is established – that abhorrent thing was perpetrated in your midst, put the inhabitants of the town to the SWORD and put its cattle to the SWORD. DOOM it and all that is in it to destruction. Gather all it spoil into open square and Burn the town and all it’s spoil as a holocaust to the LORD your GOD and it shall remain everlasting ruin never to be rebuilt, Let nothing that has been DOOMED Stick to your hand in order that the LORD may turn from his Blazing Anger and show Compassion and in His Compassion increase you as He Promised your Fathers on Oath, For you will be heeding the LORD your GOD, Obeying all His commandments which I enjoin upon you this day, doing what is right in the sight of the LORD your GOD.
OH BUT THEY HAD OBEYED THIS LAW mo-ham-od would have been found out and his followers would not plague on the world today?? No wonder mo-ham-od would want all the Jews & Christians dead they had the written word and those who could read it!!!
and then their is this??
I say it does matter and either you are with us or against us!!!
Luke 11:17 – 11:23 But he know their thoughts said: Every kingdom divided against its self is brought to desolation, and a house divided against a house falls. If Satan also is divided against himself how will his kingdom stand? Because you say I cast out demons by Beelzebub by whom do you sons cast them out?? Therefore They will be your Judges. But I cast out demons with the finger of God surly the Kingdom of God has come upon you. When a Strong Man Fully armed guards his own place, his goods are in peace. But when a stronger than he comes upon him and overcomes him taken from him all his armor in which he trusted and divides his spoils.
Luke 11:23 He who is not with me is against me and he who does not gather with me scatters.
Luke 22:35
And he said to them when I sent you without moneybag, knapsack and sandals did you lake anything: so they said Nothing then he said to them But now who has a moneybag let him take it and likewise a knapsack and he who has no sword let him sell his garments and buy one: 22:27 For I say to you that this which is written must be accomplished in me and he was numbered whit the transgressors for the things concerning me have an end
AND THEN THERE IS THIS??
Ecclesiastes5:8-14
Walk in the light
For you once darkness but now you are light in the lord walk as children of light. [for the fruit of the spirit is in goodness, righteousness, and truth]
Find out what is acceptable to the Lord your God and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of Darkness, But rather EXPOSE them.
12] For it is shameful ever to speak of those things which are done by them in secret [mussis are changing our laws so we can’t. look at the 2 Christians in Pa. and look at the 2 Christians in Australia put in jail for speaking out]
13] But all things that are exposed are made to manifest by the light, For whatever makes manifest is light. [If it is in the light it can been seen and be dealt with]
14] Therefore he says
AWAKE, You who sleep arise from the Dead
And the Lord your God will give you light in the Darkness
6:10] Finally my Brethren be strong in the Lord your God and in the Power of his might
11] Put on the whole armor of God, That you may be able to Stand against the wiles of the Devil
13] Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to with stand in the Evil day and having done all to Stand.
16] Above all, taking the Shield of Faith with which you will be able to quench all the Fiery Darts of the Wicked ones.
REMEMBER
Luke 22:36] Then he said to them,” But now, he who has a moneybag let him take it and like wise a knapsack and he who has no SWORD let him sell his garment and Buy one.
37] For I say to you that this which is written must still be accomplished to me and he was numbered with the transgressors”
THIS IS WHAT THE OLD POPE IS NOT WARNING HIS PEOPLE AND WAS PRIDICTED BY THE CHILDREN??
as he sat next to me and called me sheik i was as gitty as a girl??

Do they even have corn?.....dont thik I've ever seen a commercial or news report or anything where they were eating corn....always some mushie looking rice stuff with bugs flying around.....you must have some teeth as well or dentures wich I doubt you would find in the middle east.
Who's the mastermind???????
Could not resist this one:
Masterminds are another word that comes up all the time.
You keep hearing about these terrorists masterminds that get killed in the middle east.
Terrorists masterminds.
Mastermind is sort of a lofty way to describe what these guys do, don’t you think?
They’re not masterminds.
“OK, you take bomb, right? And you put in your backpack. And you get on bus and you blow yourself up. Alright?”
“Why do I have to blow myself up? Why can’t I just…”
“Who’s the fucking mastermind here? Me or you?”
