Arwah Jaber update. "Jaber Indicted By Federal Grand Jury: UA student allegedly tried to join Palestinian jihad," from Arkansas' Morning News, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist:
FAYETTEVILLE -- A University of Arkansas graduate student accused of trying to join the Palestinian holy war against Israel has been indicted by a federal grand jury.Arwah Jaber, 33, was indicted on charges of knowingly attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization earlier this year, failing to disclose an alias on an application for naturalization in 2000 and an application for a passport in 2002, and using a fake Social Security number on a credit card application in 2000.
He is set for arraignment Sept. 6. before a federal magistrate judge in Fayetteville....
Jaber was pulled out of line and arrested June 16 at the Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport. The government contends he was flying out to join the jihad. Jaber maintains he was going to visit relatives.
Jaber, a naturalized U.S. citizen born in the West Bank town of Yamoun, allegedly told federal authorities he told his doctoral professor and others at the university he was going to Palestine to "fight for freedom, peace and justice."
The State Department has designated the Palestinian Islamic Jihad as a terrorist organization.Jaber maintains he was frustrated with his professor over delays in graduating and made the statements in an effort to sway the teacher into approving his degree. He contends he didn't mean any of it and recanted the statements under questioning by FBI agents.
"..recanted statements..."
Ah, the inviting smell of fresh-baked taqqiyah, or would that be half-baked?
Like a child caught stealing penny candy, he says he didn't mean it. Unfortunately, he wasn't talking about a childs pursuits.
Note to jihadis:
Every once in a while, dumb as we are, somebody somewhere "gets" it, and each day, more infidels "get" it, and when you run your mouth, we will give you the courtesy of believing you.
Despite your hysterical lack of a sense of personal responsibility and your recurrent use of Quranic verses to excuse your conduct, we are going to help you learn how to develop the ability to be accountable for your actions. Sure, it may be uncomfortable at times, or you may despair of ever making any progress, or you may wish to throw in the towel, convinced you are not capable of growth but let not your heart be heavy, for growth is always hard, but worth it in the end. Even if it kills you.
Authorities should take a closer look at the "Middle Eastern Studies" departments at universities around the country.
I think you will find a lot of support for the jihadists/terrorists among professors and students in these "Middle East Studies" departments, and many professors and students who are radical leftists support the Islamic terrorists.
Mid-size cities, and even smaller rural towns and areas, are EXACTLY where some terrorist cells may try to set up and hide. Jihadists can pop up ANYWHERE.
T-Ham that is a great post that you made!!!
Middle East Studies. Yes, they should all be
checked out. A little know fact is that Saudia
Arabia has been buying "University Chairs" which
allows them to run the department without supervision or outside scrutiny!!
No wonder so many students are brainwashed and
ignorant of history. But then, that is exactly
what the Saudis want and also the primary
reason we are in Iraq. I highly recommend the book "America's Secret War" by Dr Greorge Friedman. Find out what our governments real
strategy for dealing with the Saudis.

Friedman? The Stratfor guy?
I thought he is clueless.
