"NBC: U.S. citizen accused of aiding al-Zarqawi," from NBC News, :
An American citizen held in Iraq since 2004 allegedly worked with terrorist mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and helped plan insurgent attacks on foreigners in Iraq, NBC News has learned.The American, Shawqi Omar, who lived for years in Minnesota, Utah and North Carolina, allegedly met with al-Zarqawi on numerous occasions and is related to the al-Qaida leader, through marriage, new federal court documents reveal. Omar is also one of 12 people charged Oct. 17, 2004, with plotting a chemical attack in Jordan. The attack was prevented; Omar was arrested on Oct. 29 of that year.
Omar is a dual American-Jordanian citizen who was born in Kuwait. He came to the United States on a student visa in 1979 at age 17 and married an American woman with whom he had six children, according to court filings and interviews with relatives. Omar served 11 months in the Minnesota National Guard and became a U.S. citizen in 1986.
So.. Does this guy want to do his time in an American Hellhole Gulag or a nice prison suite in Jordan?
In the article in The New Duranty Times, Omar is described as a naturalized American citizen who obtained that citizenship in 1986, two years after he served in the National Guard (he was discharged from the Guard after 11 months for failure to perform his duties).
The most piquant detail was that, having lived in the United States for more than 20 years, his English was excellent, and he moved back to Iraq in order to use that excellent English as an instrument in his attempt to kidnap Infidel foreigners -- they would not suspect someone who could speak such good American English and present himself as an "American" (which in a certain limited and meretricious sense, he was and is) or as an "American of Iraqi descent" who would clearly be taken as "a good guy" and "one of ours."
Nota bene to all those in France and elsewhere who think that integration can be achieved, and problems solved, by giving language lessons and lessons in mores and manners, to the Muslims in your midst. What if those lessons are simply used to make those Muslims more effective enemies? Is Tariq Ramadan more, or less effective, in his taqiyya because he has a native command of French and a good command of English?
What do you think?
But, Hugh...how many Muslims do the Arab nations comprise of? What about Indonesia and Pakistan and the muslims from India? What about Malaysia and Africa? Iran? Pakistan, Iran and Indonesia do produce quite a lot of stuff. Do you think they will simply sit idly when their Arab masters are being pushed to starvation?
This is one Muslim terrorist I would like to have back in the US. So he can be tried for treason...

Wouldn't you rather that they just fed him to half-starved feral pigs over there, and saved us the expense?
He came to the United States on a student visa in 1979 at age 17 and married an American woman with whom he had six children...
American woman! American dumb Cow is more like it. That stupid Cow could not just fulfill her fetishistic fantasies of becoming a slave to some dark master by joining an S&M club and saving America from her half dozen fanatical Muslim litter?
If I had a dollar for every time I see a bearded servant of Allah trailed by his Hijabed White concubine and their brood, I would be rich. A not as common combination is a White woman who accepts the fact that her Muslim man has a second wife and kids back home. I used to work with a Muslim “pimp daddy” who married two white women and forced them to live in one house until his original wife got sick of it and left.
I guess that Muslim men have an enviable Rasputinian or Mohamadenian pimp-appeal that certain women can not resist despite the anguish and degradation it often brings them. It reminds of an HBO documentary about “Pimps and Whoos” and the subtle art of “turning” a woman into a “Whoo” and making her think that she likes it.

Or are the dhimmi ladies of the West mistaking the bulge from a stray stick of dynamite down the fellows' pants for something else?
I once knew a guy who caused the same confusion shoplifting a banana...
...he was very popular with the ladies until he peeled.
