"FBI Takes U Of A Student Into Custody On Terrorism Suspicion," from the HometownChannel.com, with thanks to A Friend:
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- A University of Arkansas graduate student was taken into custody by the FBI on Friday after agents received reports that he could be involved in a terrorist organization.Agents arrested Arwah Jaber after receiving an anonymous tip that he was flying back to his homeland of Palestine to join an organization that supports terrorist activities.
According to an FBI affidavit, Jaber sent one of his professors an e-mail saying he was taking a job with the Palestinian Islamic Jihad organization. The group is considered a terrorist organization by the United States.
Another ingrate whom the American taxpayer is now responsible to feed and quarter. Another piece of riff-raff to clog our judicial system.
What is the problem with allowing the parasite to go home where he belongs and letting the Israelis deal with him?
Someone call Orkin, we've been infested.
How dumb does someone need to be to believe that their paradise is achieved through to destruction of others.......Just plain ignorance.
Calling Mr. Bush....Calling Secretary Rice.......
I recently read the following in Yaroslav Trofimov's book FAITH AT WAR (page xv):
[Speaking of those Middle Easterners in their native countries and how they celebrated the events of 9/11]"...A pattern emerged. often those with the most bloodthirsty ideas were the well-to-do and the privileged who have some experience with the West..."
Mr. Trofimov goes on to speak of Khalid Sheikh Mohammad, the mastermind of 9/11 who was a graduate student at the Univeristy of North Carolina in 1986. Sayyid Qutb, a founder of the most recent form of Islamism, was a graduate student in Colorado in 1949.
DCWatcon,
Yes, we've been infested with particularly nasty vermin, and our universities are loaded with them. I think that something substantially stronger than Orkin is needed to deal with the problem.
On the subject of Jihad: from "Onward Muslim Soldiers," Chapter One, Page 28:
Interestingly, it appears now that the vast majority of Iraqi people were not moved by the spirit of Jihad to rise up against the "American infidels." The terrorism the country is going through now appears to be the result of al qaeda crazies (admittedly infected with Jihadism)from other countries, Saddam dead-enders, and Sunnis angry that they can't persecute Kurds and Shi'ites any more. The ease with which the Saddam government was toppled would seem to discount the power of Jihad as well.
Does the fact that the "Spirit of Jihad" didn't turn most Iraqis into mad suicide bombers and the like tell you that your Jihad thesis may be overstated?
Hello again, Gordy.
Glad to see you haven't lost your prosecutorial edge, despite being quite spectacularly wrong about my statements re Bosnia and my use of "Umdat al-Salik." I commend you for keeping on trying.
However, you are wrong again here: "The ease with which the Saddam government was toppled," you say, "would seem to discount the power of Jihad as well."
Why? Saddam was not a pious Muslim. He oppressed the Shi'ites. Most religious Muslims regarded him with distate. He tried to manipulate jihad fervor in his favor, as I detail in "Onward Muslim Soldiers," but I also say there (you seem to have missed it) that many did not heed his call because of his shaky Islamic bona fides and other factors. Many, as is becoming increasingly clear, saw his toppling as their chance to turn Iraq into an Islamic state -- which is, of course, a principal goal of jihad.
You also ask: "Does the fact that the 'Spirit of Jihad' didn't turn most Iraqis into mad suicide bombers and the like tell you that your Jihad thesis may be overstated?"
Why? Where did I ever predict that "most Iraqis" would turn into "mad suicide bombers"?
Nowhere, of course.
Human nature being what it is, many more people will applaud dangerous acts from the sidelines than will engage in them themselves.
Nice try, Gordo, but no luck this time either. Keep trying! I'll be right here!
Cordially
Robert Spencer
Thank you for your answer, Robert. I don't think I have much of a "prosecutorial edge;" if I were a prosecutor there would probably be a crime wave!
I am enjoying reading your book - you make an excellent case. You are much more factually reasonable and logical than some of your reviewers and wild-eyed admirers let on.
Gordy,
Who are you calling wild-eyed? :)
Speaking of Saddam:

Give it up......
DCWatson,
Excellent analogy.
This country needs many more "wild eyed" Watchers and not just a few more Spencers.
Are suicide bombers "mad", or just brainwashed by the various thugs who excercise mind control in the mosques and the communications media. Their ubiquity is obviously an increasing problem in Iraq. How to target the controllers? They are in Libya, Saudi, Syria, everywhere. CIA anyone?
One professor (who the student moron emailed about his intentions to join the jihad), at least, who is not a Ward "Sh*tting Bull" Churchill.
I commend the teacher's uncommon commonsense.
Academia isn't in complete surrender mode.
Something Latin to carve into their desk:
"Forsan et haec olim meminisse juvabit."
(Perchance even these things it will one day be delightful to remember.)
They should have let him go and tipped off the Israelis, now we're stuck with the little turd. The Israelis might have taken him out.
From Skeet Street's link,
"The soldiers say Saddam was preoccupied with cleanliness, washing up after shaking hands and using diaper wipes to clean his meal trays, his utensils and the table before eating. “He had germophobia or whatever you call it” said Dawson, 25, of Berwick, Pa."
washing up after shaking hands...maybe someone should tell them that we are unclean, that's why he has to wash up after shaking hands.
Oddly enough, there is not an organisation on campus at the UofA that is pro-Israel enough to counter this kind of activity. There is a plethora of Jewish instructors there as well as a sizeable Jewish community. They have been silent as far as I know as has Hillel House. I am shocked as is my child who attends school there as is the Jewish Federation office in this state. David Horowitz, Robert Spencer and Charles Johnson need to make inroads at institutions such as this. Yes, this sort of "militantism" is going on even in little mountainous college towns tucked away in states one rarely ever thinks about.
It is not surprising that there is a mosque right in UofA on Razorback Road near the UofA Police station. These UofA college professors are politicially correct ultra-liberals all right.
ADL are to more worried about Militias then Islamic sleeper terrorist cells in America. Jewish community are worried more about Religious Christians Right then Moslems preaching anti-jewish hate in your local mosque. When the last time you heard of fundmentalist Christians hijacking a plane and clash it in the building? When is the last time that you ever listen any anti-Jewish hate speech at your local fundmentalist Christian church? When the last time you heard of fundmentalist Christian strap himself with a bombs to blow up a school bus of Israeli children along with himself so he get awarded with twenty virgins in Allah's Heaven?
These college professors esp. Jewish college professor are more worried about politically correct contest. They are too busy in completing for the Politically Correct Champion title then worrying their local friendly Islamic terrorist cell right in UofA.
DCWatcon,
