Neuroscientist makes war on America, for some reason

"Pakistani scientist found guilty of attempted murder" by Amy Sahba for CNN, February 3, is a typical example of the mainstream media's deliberate obfuscation of the global jihad.

In it, Islamic jihadist Aafia Siddiqui is identified as a "Pakistani neuroscientist" and "an American-educated neuroscientist."

We learn that "Siddiqui shot at two FBI special agents, a U.S. Army warrant officer, an Army captain and military interpreters while she was being held unsecured at an Afghan facility on July 18, 2008." We learn that "Afghan police had arrested her a day earlier outside the Ghazni governor's compound in central Afghanistan after finding her with bomb-making instructions, excerpts from the "Anarchist's Arsenal," papers with descriptions of U.S. landmarks, and substances sealed in bottles and glass jars." We learn that "Siddiqui had 'handwritten notes that referred to a "mass casualty attack"' listing several locations in the United States and 'construction of "dirty bombs."'"

Sixteen paragraphs into the article, we learn that the FBI suspected Siddiqui of "ties to al Qaeda."

But what is Al-Qaeda? Why are they fighting? Can't we get even a line on that? Can't we get even half a line about why an "American-educated neuroscientist" would want to make war on America? Is there some scientists' war on the United States?

There is nothing special about this CNN story. It is just like thousands of other news stories since 9/11. And this is why the level of public awareness of what exactly we are facing in this war is so abysmally low. During World War II, "Why We Fight" material was common. Now it is unheard of -- at least in any honest form -- because to talk about it honestly would lead directly back to the Islamic jihad, and honest talk about that is forbidden.

Not only was "Why We Fight" material common during Big Two, it was being put out by our government through the Office of War Information. Now we have an "Office of War Disinformation" -- to wit, the diversity industry -- that is doing the exact opposite, and the mainstream media are poodling along after it like a pig with a ring through its nose. We need to take back our country.

Neuroscientist makes war on America, for some reason
...................

Perhaps for the same reason that a "military psychologist" (Nidal Malik Hassan—the Ft. Hood Massacre) or "an Arkansas man" (Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad—the recruiting center shooting) or an "Army veteran" (John Allen Muhammad—the Beltway Sniper attacks) or a "Marin county man" (John "Hamza" Walker Lindh, the American Taliban) would make war on America, as well.

I can't seem to find a single common denominator—it's so vexing... sarc/off

Neuroscientist makes war on America, for some reason...shouldn't that state for some unknown reason? I keep holding out hope that reason will return someday but, als, it's not today.

CNN has really gone to the dogs. Apart from the obvious that is missing from the article above, their "news" is non news, unless it's about Haiti (at the moment). They've moved Wolf to an hour later, replaced him with that apologist for all things, Rick Sanchez. IMO he should just stick to reporting local issues like he used to.
They made Lou Dobbs walk, the only voice of sanity within their network. I could go on, but why bother. The only thing I watch on there now is Wolf, he at least asks some good questions.

"...makes war on America, for some reason..."

One reason: yours truly, prophet Muhammad.

I HIGHLY recommend reading Robert Spencer's book, "The Truth about Muhammad: Founder of the World's Most Intolerant Religion", so that you can get better acquainted with islam's prophet. A must read for building a foundational knowledge about islam and company!

Thank you Robert.

Keep shepherding the flock. I hope you never tire from chasing the wolfs away or trying.

"Afghan police had arrested her a day earlier outside the Ghazni governor's compound in central Afghanistan after finding her with bomb-making instructions"

I thought the Afghans hated the americans and wanted to kill them (as ordered by the Koran and Hadith)? Why would they arrest one of their own?

This has to be taqqiya, as Mr. Robert Spencer teaches us, the Afghans hate us because they're muslims and we're not.

To present the apparition that they are fighting terrorism in order to keep the dollars flowing...

Yes, it is. Yet, a large part of that is actually not low awareness, but self-deception, which combines unawareness and awareness in strange ways. When one patient was asked to find a yellow pencil that researchers had placed in a certain place in his desk drawer, the patient, who had had a profoundly traumatic experience related to yellow pencils, searched all around, and even in his desk drawer, and the way he systematically avoided the pencil showed that on some level he knew where it was. Yet he could not find it or see it even when it was exposed to view, and each time he looked, it was observed by researchers how his hands and eyes avoided the pencil, as if he knew exactly where it was. Yet he could not find it and the more conscious part of his mind, researchers concluded, had no awareness of the thing.

Something like that seems to be happening at times in public consciousness about Islam: self-deception, a willful, aware, unawareness, a self-destruction of consciousness. No doubt self-deception is an essential feature of dhimmitude.

Yes, and when they die fighting the Taliban in firefights, its actually just a big show to fool the naive infidels into thinking there are Afghans who are not dedicated to hating infidels as ordered by the koran.

Thank you veteranoutrage.
I agree completely. Why bury them, tho, in an innocent animal's flesh? How about dumping on their bodies the contents of privy's found at public places?
Pigs are too fine for these barbarians.

Traeh -

I think Islam consciously *aims* to produce such an erasure of awareness, such a 'self-destruction of consciousness' in those it turns into dhimmis; and it does it by hammering them with repeated massive trauma which they are unable to resist or escape (or which they become convinced they are unable to resist or escape).

It's the same process pimps use to 'break in' a girl. Codified and sacralised and enthusiastically carried out upon dhimmi populations, century after horrible century.

Two Sufi Muslim 'mystics', as far apart in space and time as 17th-century India and 18th century Morocco, made no bones about what was supposed to happen to the dhimmi.

In this article,

Losing Our Soul to the Islamintern
By Andrew G. Bostom FrontPageMagazine.com | 3/24/2008

Andrew Bostom discusses the 18th century Moroccan Muslim Sufi 'master', Ibn Abijah, in his Koran commentary -

Describing unabashedly the purpose of the humiliating Koranic poll tax (as per Koran 9:29) of submission for non-Muslims brought under Islamic hegemony by jihad,

Ibn Ajibah makes clear the ultimate goal of its imposition

was to achieve what he called the death of the “soul”, *through the dhimmi’s execution of their own humanity* {my emphasis - dda}:

"*[The dhimmi] is commanded to put his soul, good fortune and desires to death. Above all he should kill the love of life, leadership and honor* {my emphasis - dda}.

" [The dhimmi] is to invert the longings of his soul, he is to load it down more heavily than it can bear until it is completely submissive.

"Thereafter nothing will be unbearable for him. He will be indifferent to subjugation or might. Poverty and wealth will be the same to him; praise and insult will be the same; preventing and yielding will be the same; lost and found will be the same.

"Then, when all things are the same, it [the soul] will be submissive and yield willingly what it should give. [Tafsir ibn ‘Ajibah. Commentary on Q9:29. Ahmad ibn Muhammad Ibn 'Ajibah]". END QUOTE.

In other words: the Muslim aim is to turn the dehumanised dhimmi into what might best be described as an infinitely plastic, mindless, unprotesting unresisting THING. Ibn Ajibah's aim, as expressed, is consonant, in our society's, only with the mindset one sees in certain grossly abusive parents or spouses, in the most brutal kind of pimp, and in the psychopathic serial killer.

One sees a similar will-to-humiliate in the 17th-century Indian Sufi Muslim 'mystic' and 'saint', Sirhindi, who wrote letter after letter to Muslim rulers urging upon them the cruellest possible treatment of the Hindu dhimmis:

In his letter No. 163 he wrote: "...The honour of Islam lies in insulting kufr and kafirs. One who respects the kafirs dishonours the Muslims...

"The real purpose of levying jiziya on them is to humiliate them to such an extent that they may not be able to dress well and to live in grandeur.

*They should constantly remain terrified and trembling*.

"It is intended to hold them under contempt and to uphold the honour and might of Islam..."

Correction.

For - 'Ibn Ajibah's aim, as expressed, is consonant, in our society's, only with the mindset one sees in certain grossly abusive parents or spouses, in the most brutal kind of pimp, and in the psychopathic serial killer'

read - "Ibn Ajibah's aim, as expressed, is consonant, in our society, only with the mindset one sees in certain grossly abusive parents or spouses, in the most brutal kind of pimp, and in the psychopathic serial killer."
