No, I am not saying this was jihad-related. So why am I posting it? The facts are these: a 22-year-old mechanic with a name that may indicate he is a Muslim, an employee of the gas station, returns for a reason no one knows to the gas station after midnight. There is then a huge explosion there, in which he is killed, and the FBI is investigating. This one is, as they say, one to watch.
"Gas station fire kills one in Tampa," from MyFoxTampaBay (thanks to Cumulus Nine):
TAMPA – Tampa Fire Rescue crews say one person was killed in a fire at a gas station early Wednesday morning.Crews say witnesses reported hearing an explosion and then seeing flames as high as the treetops coming from the Citgo Gas Station on West Busch Boulevard just after midnight. Two men who worked across the street from the gas station saw what was happening, and ran to help. They say they found a man lying inside the garage area of Jacob's Lube Repair Shop, which is attached to the gas station. They say they ran inside, but the flames were just too intense. [...]
When firefighters pulled the man from the burning building, they say he was already dead. He was later identified as Farid IA Karakra, a 22-year-old mechanic who worked there. Coworkers told investigators he left work around 7:30 p.m., but they're not sure why he would have returned. [...]
Investigators are still working to determine the cause of the fire. On Wednesday morning, agents from ATF, FBI and the Tampa Bomb Squad were also at the scene, possibly looking into the cause of the explosion.
An interesting tidbit: Citgo, the owner of the destroyed gas station, is owned by the Venezuelan national oil company, which is controlled by friend-of-Tehran President Hugo "coke head" Chavez.
Hmmmm..., as they say.
On the 6pm Fox News, Tampa, Ahmed Bedier spoke on camera saying that CAIR is investigating this incident since they are always interested in these type of incidents when they involve Muslims.
Also, it was reported that the individual who died in the explosion, Farid Karakara, was from Ramallah, and came here 4 years ago, "to pursue the American dream." Earlier they had reported that he had been here for 2 years.
The news anchor also stated that Ramallah is "one of the large cities in Iraq."
Perhaps they'll get more of the "details" ironed out in the 11 o'clock news.
Islam and incendiary materials do not mix. The mixture is too volatile.
Sounds like Christianists or neocon extremists.
If the FBI/ATF/et al found evidence of explosives manufacturing being done in the off-hours in the toolshop in the garage by this former resident of Ramallah, would we ever hear about it?
It might cause mass hysteria among the public, maybe even the oft-referred-to-but-never-seen "backlash" against the Noble Religion. No, can't trust the rabble, better keep it under wraps.
People's Front of Liberty Baptists?
Where I come from we refer to these incidents as "jihadi work accidents". but hey, that's just me.
CAIR is launching an independent investigation nto this matter because it involves a muzzie?
Okay, so be it. Wonderful.
So CAIR, what is the stauts of your investigation into 9-11? Mossad and CIA did it?
So CAIR, what's the status of your investigation into the "muslim honor slaughter" of Amina and Sarah? I've been to your website. I don't see anything being reported.
Al-Abama Pig Martyr's Barbeque Brigades?
Anthony (Los Angeles)
a question. The station is 'owned' by citgo.
But who was running the shop? I mean, the person reporting to citgo. Muslim or non-Muslim? Can anyone find out?
It might be an insurance scam gone wrong (perhaps Mr Farid, given the dirty work - as an underling - of starting the fire, did too good a job and got himself killed in the process).
C'mon does anybody doubt what was going on by this misunderstander of the way of the moonrock?
Hmmm, if I was an insensitive, politically incorrect person....Citgo....Farid IA Karakra...2 birds....but I won't go there.
Exhibit A: The holy, holy Qur'an.
What do you get when you cross citgo with Farid La Karaka? Hell we don't either when their burned beyond recognition.lololololol
i posted CONJECTURE on this in 2005:
http://astuteblogger.blogspot.com/2005/07/jihadi-owned-gas-stations-some.html
EXCERPT:
I live in the Mid-Atlantic part of the USA. I have noticed - for a number of years - that more and more of the gas stations I go to are operated - and might be owned - by Muslims, mostly Central Asia (Pakistani) Mulsims, but also Arabs.
Is this a hidden potential problem? Are our nations gas stations, and our national gasoline distribution system network a prime target for jihadoterrorist attack? Here's why I think it might be:
*
"On May 15 this year [2003], there were minor explosions caused by timed explosive devices at 21 gas stations in Karachi, which are also attributed to these Pakistani organisations."
http://www.saag.org/papers7/paper696.html
*
Because, according to some estimates (this one from a PAKISTANI/American web-site): "The majority of Pakistani businessmen [in the USA] own grocery stores, restaurants, gas stations, video stores and gift shops. IOW: owning a gas station is one of the most prevalent businesses for Pakistanis in the USA.
Now, there are, by some estimates, around 140,000 gas stations in the USA. Many of them (if my experience is any indicator) might be owned and operated by Pakistanis - or other Muslims from other countries which are terrorist havens. Even if it is only 10% - well, that would be 1400 gas stations - and most of them might be in major cities or by major highways. Now, even though most of these gas stations might be owned by Pakistanis who are law-abiding, some might be owned by Pakstanis who are NOT, or who are as law-abinding as the fish&chip store owner who was the father of one of the 7/7 perps; therefore, a relative or employee of an honest law-abiding owner might be a terrorist plotter.
RWTW.

Boy, I'm so relieved that CAIR is investigating. We're sure to get to the truth now.
'Farid Karakara, was from Ramallah, and came here 4 years ago, "to pursue the American dream."'

Probably why he was rubbed out -- he'd forsaken the "Islamic dream" of the caliphate.
'Law abiding' for Muslims means they follow the sharia.
But anyhow, gasoline & Muslims make a rather explosive mix...
Based upon results he intended to set fire to the gas station, duh! Did he intend to kill himself? Come on, he's a Muslim.
At 7:25 someone used the word that rhymes with fuzzy. As of this posting it is still there.
Please download this on-line book which reflects pre-911 dhimmism in action. Note; the lead article, by Al Faruqi, should be read in context of the fact that he was murdered by an African-American who he converted to the Arabist murder cult while the killer was in prison. Guess
Bro Frankenstein didn't want to hear of "dialogue" with the religion of the crackers.
http://global-dialogue.com/swidlerbooks/muslim.htm
Anti jihadis need to give currency to the concept of "abrahamism," wherein Christian and Jewish dhimmis are persuaded by carpet humpers to accept a false belief in commonality of the nominal "3 religions of abraham." Note: Abraham was not born Jewish; he was a Chaldean, which was the culture most riddled with notions of magic. All "prophets" are FRAUDS. In any case, koranimals are required to believe that the Jewish and Christian testaments were distorted by Satanic deceit (the "Satanic Verse" incident, is given to illustrate Muhammad's recognition of Satan's ability to possess 'prophets.') Generally, only Muslim imans may touch texts sacred to the "People of the Bible" (ahl-Kitab); Muslims without credentials are taught to shun same so that their imam (indoctrination) not be weakened, making them subject to demonic possession.
In the download, one dhimmi jackass (Hans Kung) sets up a framework of abrahamist dogma:
4. What Are the Main Common Elements Among
Muslims, Jews, and Christians?
a) The basic common area among Muslims, Jews, and Christians is found in their faith in one and only one God, who gives meaning and life to a.
b) Jews, Christians, and Muslims are also of one mind in their belief in the God of history-the God who is not above, but in, history, intervening, calling in a hidden way.
c) Jews, Christians, and Muslims agree in their belief that the one God is an approachable partner. God can be addressed.
d) Finally, this God is a merciful and gracious God. The Arabic al-Rahmãn, the “merciful one,” is etymologically linked to the Hebraic rahamim, which, together with hen and hesed, represents the semantic field for the New Testament charis, the Vulgate gratia, and the English “grace.” This shared belief has a political relevance. I have been told that for the Camp David Agreement it was not unimportant that a believing Christian, a believing Jew, and a believing Muslim came together and saw that they finally had to do something for world peace.
These shared beliefs clear the way for more difficult questions.
----------------------
Those who download the piece will recognize that the dhimmis sought a theological basis for the Camp David Accords. Who bent to who's position? Kung - who made a career by attacking Papal infallibility - bows down to muslim imans, in a way that suggests dhimmi acceptance of iman "infallibility." In his own words, Christians MUST embrace THEOCENTRISM, even at the expense of CHRISTOCENTRISM. That would put them in line with muslim dogma. Presumedly, this surrender to the muslim Kulturkampf would lead to KUNGOCENTRISTS humping the carpet to the Arabist tribal god entity, 5 times a day. And once, Judaeo-Christians are brainwashed into believing in an ersatz-unity with muslim aggressors, then dhimmis will refrain from consideration of the mortal muslim enemy in religious terms. Certainly, following Jimmy Carter's prostration before the arab hate robots, the public was conditioned to view Israel's security problem, through a secularist prism. Palestinian occupiers - their actual homeland is in Negd, from whence ibb-Wahab seized the Hijaz - thus become victims of human rights violations, and not front line savages, in the clash between islamic enslavement and western liberty. This is how Kung poses the theological prostration to the koranimals:
"Christians need to take Muhammad more seriously in order that the one, true, incomparable God might always occupy the center of their faith. I think my friend John Cobb would agree that Christocentrism without theocentrism is valueless, for Jesus is the Word and, as Cobb has stressed, the Wisdom of God. Christians also need to hear Muhammad's warning against the dangerous idolatry of listening to other gods, as well as his admonition that faith and life, orthodoxy and orthopraxis, belong together, even in politics. Thus, Muhammad could provide for us Christians, not the decisive, guiding norm that Jesus gives us, but a prophetic corrective in the name of the one and same God, 'I am nothing but a distinctive warner' (Sura 46:49)"
-----------------
Dhimmis - including the Bush Crime Family - can drop dead. They propose adding to the Old and New Testaments, a DHIMMI TESTAMENT, which would include the koran as a "prophetic corrective." Either Muhammad - depressed at being the sex toy of a rich woman 15 years older than himself - concocted the koran in order to meet his sex, plunder and revenge needs, or he did not. Either you defend the worst ideological plague to ever attack humanity, or you fight it. Either we slaughter the muslim enemy; or they slaughter us. The CLASH is on; it is time to take sides. We need to start thinking of the muslim as: THE ANTI-HUMAN.
so this muslim was either doing something incredibly stupid or his plan to create a fuel air bomb went kaboom sooner than expected. oh well nature at work getting rid of stupid people.
Oh! He was just cooking up some meth. We Americans do it all the time. He just forgot...as his mind was a whirl with the froth of speed...that ether was so flammable. Nothing to see here. Just move along.
France's "Courier International" publication (Feb 7-13) posts a cover story, "Secularism: The Offensive of the European Churches." And they refer to current times as, "The hour of political reconquest." Various writers describe the situation in several countries in light of secular legislation, and political initiatives of clerics. But what is missing? There is only passing reference to the worst threat to secularism: muslims. Either this year or the next, the enemy will be the demographic majority in their first non-Ottoman European city: Malmo, Sweden. Political correctitude won't let the slaves of allah be a threat.
Reminder: Swedish Cabinet Minister named Jens Orbach once said, “We must be open and tolerant towards Islam and Muslims because when we become a minority, they will be so towards us.” The purpose of Europe is: the abolishment of Europe.
Reminder: Euro dhimmis and the Bush-Clinton Crime Families support full sovereignty for the Kosovo and Bosnian terror and drug courier entities, while they boycott Israel, the only Judaeo-Christian presence in the Middle East.
Reminder: the Saud terror entity does not represent the Arabian Peninsular peoples within its borders. The Saud Crime Family is rooted in Negd; they allied with the Wahabi conquerers of the Hijaz (including Mecca and Medina). Negd is also the source of the Arab aggressors who seized land from Jews, Christians (including Assyrian and Phoenician) and Baal worshippers (non semitic), during the first phase of arab enslavement. Most Arab speakers in Israel and surrounding territories is an occupier of Judaeo-Christian lands. In light of the veneer of sovereignty held by local savages, we need to repatriate Peninsula oil fields to their Anglo-American owners. And Temple Mount must be seized for its rightful Judaeo-Christian owners. In fact, Arab free zones must be established on the Peninsula.
the very fact that C.A.I.R has taken interest in this story beweilders me. Do they usually fuss over issues like this or is it left to the state coroner and L.E.O/Fire rescue team to gather the facts?
Jihad Watch hope to get updates on this case along with the headless corpse found in London.
Word from the London case is that the body was mutilated in such a fashion as to hamper ID methods. Could it be a fresh stiff found from [Insert threatre of war] frozen and sent over to the UK to push the agenda for biometric databasing? Who knows. Keep us informed
Yeah, the type of incidents where Muslims are self-incinerated without also killing some infidels in the process. Must investigate...72 celestial virgins are at stake here.
When and where did CAIR get its investigative degree? Okay, which Mosque then?
"..CAIR is investigating this incident.."
Two words: Damage Control.
Uhhhhh.... I could be wrong (as usual), but it sounds like he closed up the shop, and then returned to smoke a doobie. Not a good thing to do if you work at a gas station.

My guess is that CAIR is trying to figure out how to spin this into a hate crime against Muslims.
I did some googling trying to find a story on two of these devices thrown into a gas station in Atlanta last week.
It seems there were at least two other incidents in FL yesterday. Melbourne and Titusville.
Not to mention a bunch more around the country and at least two in Israel this week.
Last year, at the end of April, when the bay bridge went up from the overturned tanker truck filled with gasoline, I googled and found that with a twenty four hour period there were at least four similar incidents all over the US.
Including St. Pete (Tampa Bay) all involving serious damage to interstate highways.
All were attributed by the media to excess speed.
With the internet the job of investigative reporters connecting dots should be a walk in the park.
But you never see it happening.
I believe that this is a case of evolution in action.

My theory, since CAIR is a "unindicted co-conspirator" they had foreknowledge of this activity and what to make sure that all tracks are covered. Of course they will spin it completely different.
I think it is past time being naive, about the intentions of these people. I would prefer to error on protecting our way of life and not assume innocence. We are at WAR!
