In the featured article at Human Events today, I discuss the Fort Dix verdicts:
According to a recent survey, fewer Americans believe terrorism is a threat now than at any time since September 10, 2001. But if five Muslim men in New Jersey had had their way, this threat might loom larger in the public mind today. These men face life in prison after being convicted Monday of plotting to enter the U.S. Army base in Fort Dix, New Jersey and murder as many soldiers as they could.This was a jihad plot. Three of the men convicted -- brothers Dritan, Shain and Eljvir Duka -- are illegal aliens from the former Yugoslavia. One of the plotters, Serdar Tatar, told an FBI informant late in 2006: “I’m gonna do it….It doesn’t matter to me, whether I get locked up, arrested, or get taken away, it doesn’t matter. Or I die, doesn’t matter, I’m doing it in the name of Allah.” Another plotter, Mohamad Shnewer (the only American citizen among the convicted men), was caught on tape saying, “They are the ones, we are going to put bullets in their heads, Allah willing.”
The men trained “for jihad,” according to informant Besnik Bakalli, while on a trip to the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania, where they bought guns and practiced with them at firing ranges.The plot was uncovered in January 2006 when two of the plotters entered a Circuit City outlet in New Jersey and asked a clerk to convert a videotape to DVD. The video showed men shooting automatic weapons and crying out, “Allahu akbar.”
The clerk, Brian Morgenstern, was alarmed, and asked a coworker: “Dude, I just saw some really weird s---. I don’t know what to do. Should I call someone, or is that being racist?” His coworker urged him to contact police, and Morgenstern ultimately did.
Morgenstern’s hesitation is yet another indication of how successful American Muslim advocacy groups have been in portraying resistance to the global jihad as “racism” and honest discussion of the elements of Islam that jihadists use to justify acts of violence and other acts in service of Islamic supremacism as “bigotry.” We can be grateful that Brian Morgenstern came forward anyway -- but it isn’t hard to imagine what could happen if the next young person in his position decides that it is better to keep silent than to do anything that might appear to be “racist.”
The convictions Monday ought to trigger an urgent and searching reevaluation of the politically correct shibboleths that could have kept Brian Morgenstern from blowing the whistle on the Fort Dix jihadists. But that reevaluation is unlikely -- especially since American Muslim spokesmen, instead of applauding the verdict and announcing measures to teach against the jihad ideology and Islamic supremacism in mosques and Islamic schools in America, resorted to denial and finger-pointing.
The aptly-named Jim Sues of the New Jersey chapter of the frequently-litigious Council on American-Islamic Relations accused the government of wrongdoing: “Many people in the Muslim community will see this as a case of entrapment. From what I saw, there was a significant role played by the government informant.”
A former Muslim chaplain at Guantanamo, James Yee lamented that the convictions would not help relations between law enforcement officials and the Muslim community in America: “All of this,” he complained, “doesn’t help build trust with the American Muslim community, and that is vital if our law enforcement is going to fight terrorism. If anyone can improve security, it’s our community, but we need to be seen as trusted partners, not potential suspects.” Yee himself was once investigated for mishandling classified material at Gitmo. Back in March 2004, AP reported that “in dismissing the charges, Maj. Gen. Geoffrey D. Miller, commander of Joint Task Force Guantanamo, which operates the detention center, cited ‘national security concerns that would arise from the release of the evidence’ if the case proceeded.” Not exactly a resounding acquittal.
Yee’s concerns about Muslims not being seen as “potential suspects” could best be allayed by Muslims resolving not to do anything suspicious. But not only did the Fort Dix suspects make their intentions to commit jihad violence on a grand scale abundantly clear to government informants; even after their arrests, one of them apparently had no compunction about revealing his intentions. Authorities revealed in December 2007 that one of the imprisoned defendants expressed regret over the Fort Dix plot -- that “we weren’t able to finish” -- and even gave another prisoner an Al-Qaeda recruiting video.
How many more Muslims in the United States today hold to the same views as those of the Fort Dix jihadists? Now is the time for law enforcement and government officials to call upon the Muslim community to institute comprehensive and verifiable programs teaching against the jihad ideology and Islamic supremacism. But they won’t: it would be the height of political incorrectness to do so.
And as the Fort Dix plotters wait to see if they will get life sentences, one thing is certain: there will be more plots like this one.
The five convicted slaves of allah would have tried to pull off what Ajmal KKKasab (to borrow Ebonystone's version of that bastard's last name) and his friends did in Mumbai, regardless of what the nazis with CAIR might want to claim in their defense, period.
The people at Fort Dix would only have been better prepared to stop them faster than the Indian authorities in Mumbai, for the fact that the jihadists had been planning to attack a US military base. Nevertheless, it's a shame and, obsiously, a reason for great concern that awareness of such threats among US citizens is at way lower levels than it should be.
It shouldn't take another attack on American soil to change that.
...one thing is certain: there will be more plots like this one.
That you can bet your boots on.
More plots...The ideology may be the source of the rot, but the players are being manufactured in the cesspool called Ummah.
One way to stop jihad terrorism is to make it too costly for the Ummah to contemplate it.
I don't think the leadership in the west has a stomach for this.
But leaderships change, and necessity is the mother of invention.
Obama is not 'the one'.
But I predict he will be a short timer, so maybe next time, or the time after that, if we don't run out of time. Timing is everything...
New Jersey's prisons are full of holy warriors of Allah. These five were white and think they are better than the black converts to Islam. In Europe the Muslim prisoners force the other prisoners to submit to Islam/Allah/Muhammad or die.
America should send them to DEVIL'S Island, the one France use to own and let them live there close to Paradise. Let them farm and earn their own wages. No phones are needed as they are in prison. Send all Muslim prisoners to DEVIL's Island away from the impure infidel crooks. Drop food using helicopters. Send seeds for them to plant. Let them weave their own prayer rugs and give them a Quran each. Allah will protect them.
At least they cannot kill to go to Paradise, but rot in the denseness of the overgrown trees in this earthly Paradise owned by France so long ago!
It is sad to see that when your country's military and police are successful with capturing these terrorists the people are lulled into believing all is well and cannot think a threat still exists. as long as the koran is looked as the word of some god we are at peril.

"Jordanian students embrace conservative Islam"

My apologies to those who will lose their breakfast.
USA (congress, white house, Condi etc) give an annual jizya of 2 bil to Jordan. Go figure!
One of the islamofascist arguments for what they do is desperation and weakness, they do not confront an armed enemy since their arms are not equal, so they resort to other methods to effect mass murder and justify such things by a supremely dualistic outlook.
The good news is this attack was nipped before they could pull it off, the bad news is that much training and preperations had been made before authorities were aware of it, and it was a sort of off chance that the clerk passed on the intelligence.
The bad news is that the next civilian to notice something might have been subjected to political brainwashing courses sponsored by CAIR (Changing America to an Islamic Republic) and would not dared have even thought that the religion of peace would be involved in murder plots.
Even worse, our local devotees of Mahomet and the black rock in mecca called alla that they idolize will next pick what the pundits call softer targets, day care centers, hospitals, local schools, shopping malls, cities with strict curtailment of gun rights, (to ensure less UNfriendly fire). This sort of black hearted murderous demonic logic has been employed elsewhere, Ie, they have been killing our kids so we can kill theirs.
The clerk, Brian Morgenstern, was alarmed, and asked a coworker: “Dude, I just saw some really weird s---. I don’t know what to do. Should I call someone, or is that being racist?”
.......................
Well, this is disturbing--but hardly a big surprise.
Here's what I posted on December 22--two days ago--on the thread "Five Found Guilty in Fort Dix Jihad Plot":
"Brian Morgenstern is my hero. It makes you think, though--what if the "Flying Imams", and the "Defense of Religion", and "Islamophobia" advocates gain ground--will there come a time when someone like young Mr. Morgenstern decides it is not worth reporting this kind of "weird sh*t" if it means potentially being considered a "racist"or being charged with a "hate crime"?"
I wish I could claim to be enormously prescient, but I don't think I can. How many times is this likely to come up--and potentially have people worry that it might not be worth the hassle at a low paying job, or having to deal with the cops, or--much worse--be considered a bigot, or a "racist"? And If the "Flying Imams" and their ilk at CAIR and the Islamic Society of North America have their way, might patriots like Mr. Morgenstern and his co-worker be subject to charges on "hate crimes" grounds? It is chilling.
"from the former Yugoslavia"... ???
Again abdullah the takruni, Arabic word for low lifed negro. abd means slave and ullah mean allah. We know some Arabic abdullah like abed means black slave, mamluk means white slave, sudan means land of the blacks which arabs rule over, medina means yathrib, the land of the Arabic Jews which Muhammad stole and renamed medina. See slave of allah on the black hand side, I know a little arabic.
I know infidel too: DO UNTO MUSLIMS BEFORE THEY DO UNTO YOU! INFIDEL 1:1
yOU CAN FOOL THE ELITE, BUT NOT THE ONES WHO THINK FOR THEMSELVES.
Obama has Bush to thank for, for protecting America. Imagine if the Republicans did not protect the US from these devote Muslims who would have killed tens and possibly hundreds of innocent Americans at Fort Dix before trashing their worthless lives.
Had this attack taken place, Americans would never have elected a non Republican man to the White House regardless of who he or she was.
"This was a jihad plot. Three of the men convicted -- brothers Dritan, Shain and Eljvir Duka"
This is the biggest prove that all devote Muslims would kill Americans any time any place if the opportunity is there. These guys are from Bosnia, not only we never occupied Bosnia but we even wasted (emphasized) American blood to help them against our Christian brothers, the Serbians. This is how the Bosnians repay us. We lost hundreds of good American solders fighting to protect Bosnians including the Duka brothers.
I used to think that the American Solders who died in Bosnia were American heroes - not anymore! The Duka brothers and Bill Clinton changed all that. Now I think the hundreds Americans who died in Bosnia were nothing but sacrificed sheep who were paid for by the Muslim leaders to Bill Clinton.
Does anyone really wonder why would Muslims leaders give President Clinton $50-million-petro-dollars?
These millions should have gone to the families of these lost solders and not to the President who sacrificed them at no cost to him. We had no business sending and wasting good American Solders to fight for Jihad not for $50-millions, not for $50-billion and not even for a $trillions.
What a blunder and where is the media on this? The media journalists are so naive - they are still wondering why Muslim leaders would give Bill Clinton over $50 Millions.
I have been warning people on an internet forum of some of the upcoming Islamic terrorism in The U.S. I have found many still think it is only a pin prick and not a real threat. I will continue to warn others and to the hurt of my own reputation if need be. The other day I saw a mother carrying her baby to her car, it's little bald pink head was so tiny and thoughts of it being blown up in a shopping mall by some of the most despicable cowards who will ever live angered me and made me very sad. In Boston a $22 Million dollar mosque is being built, Islam is growing all over America and it is not being stopped. Our immigration people have dropped the ball, America has been successfully been invaded and the enemy now has full use of our resources. Obama is hollow and useless and I believe secretly hates all of what America is and will expedite the process of her destruction. Can the Republican party save America in the future? Not if they continue to allow one of the world's most despicable religions to gain ground. Immigration laws need to be upgraded and enforced all over again. Islam should be defined as dangerous so it can not be legalized and protected by law and NOT allowed into the U.S. The stealth jihad, can it overcome America?
Hey y'all, I'm doing my best to counteract jihad! I read STEALTH JIHAD by our revered Spencer and then bought two copies to give as Christmas gifts!
If I'd seen that pic of the thug in chief of Iran, I would have sent one to him! (Hey again, please don't print his ugly Iranian puss in JW again. It spoils my day.)
An early Happy 2009 to everyone.,
