Houston: Four Muslim students accused of preparing to join the Taliban and fight U.S. forces overseas

Which mosque did these students attend? What do they teach there? Who funds it? Did the imam know about these students' plans? Did he approve? Does anyone know? Does anyone care? "Student faces more charges in 'battlefield jihad' case," by Cindy George for the Houston Chronicle (thanks to all who sent this in):

Federal prosecutors have filed additional charges against Adnan Mirza, one of the four Muslim students accused of preparing to join the Taliban to fight U.S.-led forces overseas.

Mirza, 30, was accused of planning to engage in "battlefield jihad" in the Middle East and financially supporting the terrorism group....

The charges include 10 firearm possession offenses, the alleged purchase of ammunition at a gun show for use during a paramilitary exercise and two conspiracy counts related to the training and financial support. He is accused of failing to secure a work visa before starting a job and overstaying his visa.

The indictment also alleges that $1,000 earmarked for Taliban fighters and their families passed through Mirza's hands.

Mirza, who had been studying biomedical technology at Houston Community College before his arrest last November, engaged in firearms training eight times at Houston-area campsites and shooting ranges from May 2005 through June 2006, the indictment alleges.

Why would a student of biomedical technology want to join the jihad? Doesn't poverty and alienation cause jihad? What's that? Study after study has shown that jihadists are generally wealthier and better educated than their peers, and that they're actually ideologically motivated? What are you, some kind of Islamophobe?

I have a problem with 30 year old community college students in general, but surely 30 year old students from the Middle East should set off alarm bells somewhere?

"Why would a student of biomedical technology want to join the jihad?"

We could make a Top Ten list of this!

10. The filthy infidels gave him an 'F' on his mid-terms.

9. Killing people is more fun than saving them.

8. He was enraged by George W. Bush's tax cuts for the wealthiest one percent.

7. Ron Paul.

6. GE stole his patent for the death-ray.

5. He wanted to impress Jodie Foster.

4. That cute chick in the front row contaminated his Islamically pure thoughts by not wearing a burkha.

3. Cartoons...

2. Ron Paul! *(this is not the same as #7 because it has an exclamation point)

1. The only answer for any question that starts with 'why:' Why not?

Ten firearms violations, you can bet that when the Democrats take over, they will seize on news like this to pass a Pandora's Box full of new and more restrictive gun control legislation.

He also allegedly purchased ammunition at one of those evil gun shows. The Democrats will close the so called gun show loop hole by piling so much red tape, costs, and liability that the loop hole will close because no promotor will ever have a gun show.

Stock up now.

Say what you will about G. Bush, and I'll most likely agree. Take special notice that not one new gun control law has been passed during his presidency.

"Mirza, who had been studying biomedical technology at Houston Community College ...."

..I suppose such knowledge in this field of study could be used for the manufacture of chemiclal and biological weapons....


....ban Muslim Immigration...

Interdiction.

islam must be interdicted at the American border.

This means closing down islam schools, mosques charities and immigration.

One knows that George and Laura, right after 2008, will probably do the rubber chicken banquet tour of the ME, no doubt to gather their accolades, but that does not mean that we have to be fooled.

Maybe in twenty years islam will be fully disqualified, disproven, defeated, out of favor, dismissed, but only if we win the battle now.

Thank you GW for what you've done so far. But we need to do a lot more.

After 9/11, Bush wants to give aid to Saudi Arabia. Anythng wrong with this picture? But I already posted this above. I can't seem to stop myself at this humiliating trechery of helpless Americans slaughtered on 9/11 and after.

Oh.. why do I bother?

And just think these four and others like them are end products of one very simple sentence, and a lie...'There is no Ilah but Allah, and Mohammad is his messenger'. But this is a compressed idea, that when opened up, all kinds of things spring from it, jihad is one of them. Islam, sharia, jihad, have all born of this lie. Submission means to accept the lie as the truth, and to renounce everything outside of it.
The lie knows it is a lie, and forever seeks to cover up, so it invents taqiyya, kitman, jihad and severe punishments for who may stray.
The mental warp that comes with submission, is to believe that the Islamic point of view is the correct one, and all other points of view must be subdued or eliminated. Jihad is in the 'elimination' business, so these four muslim jihadis, want to fight and 'eliminate' Americans. That they want to do that overseas 'first' is not a defense.
This is a very sound concept. 'Elimination is the source of power'. This means to eliminate everything that is not pertinent to the goal. In this case it is world domination. Islam is in the perpetual elimination business, thats what jihad, CAIR, the M Brotherhood, ect are all about.
And it is all based on the lie as stated above.
If you tell a big enough lie, and repeat it often enough, people will soon start believing it...Ain't that the truth...

Oopppssss.. wrong thread.. but then, that is how I feel.. for more, see the 'Bush..' thread.. then again, what is the point?

Robert:

A question that comes up often is, how do still practicing Muslims that you have coined as the "good Guys" reconcile the teachings of Mohammed when it comes to antisemitism,treatment of woman,sharia law,and the jihadism of Mohammed as he went towards Medina Etc?

Thanks
Mackie

Robert asks:

"Which mosque did these students attend? What do they teach there? Who funds it? Did the imam know about these students' plans? Did he approve? Does anyone know? Does anyone care?"
Good questions. Here's another:

Why is there a mosque in the USA?


Is this guy any relation to the Adnan Mirza who is executive director of the Columbus, OH chapter of CAIR? Come to think about it, has anyone seen Mirza around town lately?

Pelayo has the triangulated the gun situation and understands, as do I, that the liberals will side with the jihadists, and go after our second amendment rights.

Yes, they will try to close down the gun shows, even though ammunition purchases are completely legal, even by mail order. So, as Pelayo says, stock up:

By the way, I will bet a double pork pie sandwitch to a pound of country bacon that twenty-five percent of the mosques in this country have a stockpile of the above ammunition. Any takers??

And BTW, better get your high-capacity magazines, too. The liberals don't want law abiding citizens to have those, either. If you wait, you might just have to take one away from a local jihadist, the hard way.

"Mirza, who had been studying biomedical technology at Houston Community College ...."

Huge outbreak of MRSA a staph infection that's killing people, especially children.

I checked the CDC site to see if there was Geographic information about where this outbreak started. No information there. Check with your local Health dept. is their message.

Of course making connections like these are just manifestations of my Phobias > Jihadaphobia >Islamaphobia.
Just because you are paranoid, doesn't mean someone isn't out to get you.

Moslem in US = trouble

"Battlefield jihad?" In contra-distinction, I guess, to "non-battlefield jihad?" It seems specialization for Mohammedans (I know they don't like this term----that's why I use it) has now become the order of the day.

The solution of course is to import more Muslims into out country, and enrole even more Muslim students into our school systems.

After all, isn't diversity, multiculturalism and inclusion the answers to everything?

What's wrong here?
If you are a potential enemy, we will educate you, we will train you, we will give you weapons.
We will give you a visa into this country or let you sneak across our borders.
Where is the reality check? or do we have to wait for a 9/11+?

Ya, and when we find out which mosque it was, deport the leaders for sedition.

No one should be surprised, either, if it turns out that the Department of Homeland 'Security', in its bureaucratic wisdom, actually turned out to be the source of financing for the mosque(s)and/or Islamic organizations responsible for these students' radicalization. It's no secret that the bureaucrats of this department have recently been awarding millions in grant money to mosques and other Islamic organizations. It's only a matter of time before these US government-laid eggs begin to hatch terrorist activities in America--if they haven't already.


Easy to explain

On this day 2 October 1997: An international meeting was held in Tehran, Iran with over 20 Islamic terrorist groups in attendance. As a result, a campaign of attacks was planned against the Zionists and the Crusaders - Jews and Americans.

The Tehran summit decided to use non-Iranian Islamist organizations as the spokesmen for their agenda so as to give it a pan-Islamic flavor. Ayman al-Zawahiri's al Jihad Group, an Egyptian Sunni organization, issued the initial communiqué calling for jihad against the U.S. and Israel. The press release from the world's second best known terrorist read: "The United States will realize that its real enemy is Islamic Jihad, the Jihad of the entire Muslim nation against the world dominance of America, against the international influence of the Jews, and against the U.S. occupation of Muslim lands.".

Just goes to prove you can't go home again. First Houston designates itself a sanctuary city and now this. How I long for the days when a Houstonian's biggest concern was what bit of idiocy Whitmire was going to spew forth.

texan: Don't forget that if the Dems make this move they'll be able to use the state concealed carry licensing system to round up all the weapons to their malevolent little hearts content.

We were aware of that CAIR person from our research on the topic.

According to our research, they are not the same person or we would have posted that on our blog.

Not sure of any relation.

Doesn't poverty and alienation cause jihad?

The moral poverty and alienation from basic human feelings at the heart of Islam cause jihad.

It also brings offshoot lackeys who did this, too...

feel the love of the "peace" movement.

jcom, what an absolute shame. And they expect people to gain sympathy for their cause?!

interestinconundrum sez: Moslem in US = trouble.
