Lodi jihad update from the News-Sentinel, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist:
SAN FRANCISCO -- A lead FBI agent on Tuesday linked two local Muslim clerics to the Taliban and Osama bin Laden, contending the two were planning to set up a school near Lodi that would breed anti-American terrorism.The agent testified that Lodi clerics Shabbir Ahmed and Mohammed Adil Khan were prepared to relay information on terrorist plots from sources close to bin Laden.
The allegations were dismissed by Ahmed's lawyer, who said the FBI and federal prosecutors have "made the whole thing up."
The striking allegations came during an immigration hearing for Ahmed at which Immigration Judge Anthony Murry declined to set bail for him as he fights charges he stayed here after his visa expired.
"I am compelled to find you are both a flight risk and a danger to the community," Murry told Ahmed.
Ahmed, 39, has been jailed since the beginning of June when federal agents conducting a terror investigation detained him on immigration charges. Two other Lodi men face criminal charges of lying to FBI agents, and Adil Khan and his son are expected to leave the country in about a week.
At the second part of Ahmed's bond hearing in immigration court in San Francisco, the shackled Lodi man listened as prosecutors attempted to tie him to Osama bin Laden.
FBI Agent Gary Schaaf, lead case agent in charge of the Lodi terror investigation, went over a flow chart of names and photos allegedly connected to bin Laden, the man accused of orchestrating the 9/11 attacks and other terrorist actions. Ultimately, Schaaf accused Ahmed of planning to relay terror orders from Taliban leaders to people in Lodi.
"I Pledge Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
I believe that all Americans and all immigrants should pledge allegiance to the United States. It should be a requirement for people coming into this country.
Obviously, some of these pigs have other allegiances in mind. Which makes them seditious.

One thing law enforcement officers take very seriously is their credibility, without it you cease to be a viable witness for the prosecution, thus your effectiveness is so tarnished that you can no longer perform your job.
Lawyers have always made these accusations in attempt to discredit and taint the prosecutions case. There hope is that juries may may be defused by such allegations so as to discredit the investigating agency. This is why there is a concerted effort to evaluate possible jurist for any potential and unfair biases for or against the defendent
It is sort of silly that the two were planning to set up a school near Lodi that would breed anti-American terrorism when they already weren't that far from Berkeley. It seems superfluous.
"Oh Lord! Stuck in a Lodi again!" Did CCR know something we didn't back in 1969?
Those that continue to focus on terrorism, meaning violence, don't see the complete picture. Violence is dangerous for a few minutes, months, or years, whereas, without firing a shot or dropping a bomb, Muslim demographic invasion is lethal to cultures and civilizations that unfortunately bring Muslims into their midst.
