"War is deceit," Muhammad said. "Iraqi refugees in Kentucky charged with planning to help arm Al Qaeda," by Warren Richey for the Christian Science Monitor, May 31 (thanks to all who sent this in):
Two Iraqi nationals who came to the US as refugees have been arrested in Kentucky on charges that they conspired to provide money, weapons, and other support to Al Qaeda in Iraq, federal officials announced on Tuesday.
Waad Ramadan Alwan and Muhamad Shareef Hammadi, both of Bowling Green, have entered not guilty pleas and are being held pending a pretrial detention hearing.
They were charged in a 23-count indictment returned last week.
Mr. Alwan is accused of conspiring to kill US nationals abroad, distributing information on the manufacture and use of improvised explosive devices in Iraq, and plotting to transfer Stinger missiles to Iraq.
Mr. Hammadi is charged with attempting to provide material support to Al Qaeda in Iraq, and conspiring to transfer Stinger missiles.
“Over the course of roughly eight years, Waad Ramadan Alwan allegedly supported efforts to kill US troops in Iraq, first by participating in the construction and placement of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in Iraq, and, more recently, by attempting to ship money and weapons from the United States to insurgents in Iraq,” said Todd Hinnen, acting assistant attorney general for national security.
Both Alwan and Hammadi came to the US from Iraq in 2009.
The FBI began investigating Alwan five months after he arrived after being granted refugee status. A year later, in August 2010, the FBI began using a confidential human source who engaged in recorded conversations with Alwan.
The investigation of Hammadi began in January.
Alwan admitted in recorded conversations that from 2003 to 2006 he was an insurgent who used IEDs and sniper rifles to target US forces in Iraq, according to court documents.
Based on these representations, the FBI has identified two latent fingerprints belonging to Alwan on a component of an unexploded IED recovered by US forces near Bayji, Iraq, according to officials. Alwan is believed to have worked at the power plant at Bayji and lived nearby before moving to the US.
He reportedly told the FBI source that he worked on the IED with an associate who had lost an eye in a premature explosion. US officials have discovered a latent fingerprint on a recovered unexploded IED that they say belongs to an individual with one eye who was detained by US forces in June 2008.
Federal officials say in September 2010 Alwan expressed interest in helping the FBI’s confidential source provide support to militants in Iraq. They plotted to provide money, machine guns, rocket-propelled grenades, C-4 plastic explosives, and Stinger missiles to insurgents fighting US troops.
Later, Alwan allegedly recruited Hammadi to help in the effort.
Officials stressed that none of the money or weapons involved in the undercover operation in the US was actually provided to Al Qaeda in Iraq.
only real refugees need apply ie, Christians from the ME!

"I have lived here all my life and when you find Muslim Terrorists living in Kentucky it's a sad day for America"
Why are we still letting Muslims in to America?
And they attended exactly which moderate mosque here in the heartland, and consorted with how many others all smiles and peaceful aquiescence?
I know you know, Courreges W, notwithstanding your rhetorical question, exactly why we are still allowing Muslims into America and that is because the American government and sadly too many of its people simply refuse to understand, a matter of willful ignorance to be more precise, that Islam is at war with America, with the West and with liberty. Getting very tired of this refusal, as I'm sure you are.
@ Courreges W. Yes,why is America letting in this koranimals. Not only are the numbers high but their birthrates are three times the American average. You are setting up yourself for your own demise. Read this short extract and weep.
"In 2005, almost 100,000 Muslims became legal residents of the US. In 2009, it was 115,000. And the numbers continue to rise each year. That means that already they make up around 10 percent of immigrants to the US. The number of Egyptian and Syrian immigrants has more than doubled since 9/11. The number of Turkish immigrants has more than tripled. The number of Afghanis has tripled. Somalis have gone up from nearly 3,000 to nearly 14,000 a year. Pakistan hit a high of 21,000 in 2009 and Saudis are up by 50 percent.
Not nation shattering numbers in and of themselves, but let's look at them in relation to birth rates.
The United States birth rate was 13.5. Pakistan's birth rate is 24.1. Egypt's birth rate is 24.6. The Saudi birth rate is 19.3. The Afghani birth rate is 37.3. The Somali birth rate is 42.7. What this means is that we are importing Muslim immigrants with a birth rate that twice or even three times higher than our own."

Wellington, Courreges ... once there's a critical mass there's no turning back. Just as the UN's actions are now insane due to a bloc of radical islamic nations, on a smaller scale the same happens to a nation. Hard to say what the US will look like in future years since Muslims (and their ideology) have infiltrated all through the levels of bureaucracy, the legal system DHS, DOJ, State Department, FBI, CIA, etc with a vengeance since 2008.
Also city governments are beachheads for Islamization - 20 years ago the city of Nazareth in Israel was a very Christian town, now it's very Islamicized. The thin edge of the wedge gets into power and that's all she wrote.

"Refugees"...
How many more 'loyal' muslim immigrants residing in the huge American heartland are plotting to kill our troops or us? When will the idiots in charge of immigration policy realize what they are doing to our beautiful country?! I think they are deliberately letting these savages come here because of their obscene birthrates and their potential to do us harm; the America-haters will destroy this country one way or another and what better way than to flood it with our avowed enemies?
This is just too depressing, with no solution or hope for one. Despite overwhelming evidence that alarming numbers of muslim immigrants turn against America or come here with the intention of committing terrorism, they continue to allow droves of them to invade this country. It is pure insanity given the nature of islam; the frightening history of treasonous muslims with deadly intentions; their refusal to assimilate; and the fact that they contribute nothing beneficial to American society. it is obvious that they are being imported to bolster the identity politics industry, become Democrat voters, and to wreak general havoc on mainstream American society with their disgusting breeding habits and putrid culture. If they can force us to 'tolerate' these barbarians, what won't we tolerate?
May the liberal social engineers responsible for inflicting these depraved people and their cursed religion on us suffer tenfold the misery they have brought to bear on decent, hardworking American people.
I think it is time that the Islamic beliefs and practices are totally prohibited along the lines that Communism was prohibited in the 1950s. Here is an extract from Sultan Knish's blog on this subject.
"The Internal Security Act of 1950, along with the 1954 Communist Control Act provides extensive legal grounds for criminalizing organizations dedicated to the overthrow of the United States, as well as membership in such organizations-- and even provides for the removal of citizenship from members of such organizations.
While succeeding courts have thrown out many portions of these laws, had the United States truly gotten serious about the War on Terror, it could have passed a real Patriot Act that would have clamped down on Islamist organizations in a similar way.
The bill could have easily retrofitted some of the language of the Communist Control Act as follows;
Sec. 3. Islamic organizations, regardless of their assumed name, whose object or purpose is to overthrow the Government of the United States, or the government of any State, Territory, District, or possession thereof, or the government of any political subdivision therein by force and violence, are not entitled to any of the rights, privileges, and immunities attendant upon legal bodies created under the jurisdiction of the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof; and whatever rights, privileges, and immunities which have heretofore been granted to said party or any subsidiary organization by reason of the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof, are hereby terminated:
Sec. 4. Whoever knowingly and willfully becomes or remains a member of such organizations, or (2) any other organization having for one of its purposes or objectives the establishment, control conduct, seizure, or overthrow of the Government of the United States, or the government of any State or political subdivision thereof, by the use of force or violence, with knowledge of the purpose or objective of such organization shall be subject to all the provisions and penalties of the Internal Security Act of 1950."

Unfortunately, Gerald, these prohibitions are nowadays commonly regarded as nothing more than anti-Communist "hysteria". The black-list and HUAC hearings are usually dismissed as reactions not to a genuine danger, but just as over-reactions to a groundless "red scare".
Few today consider that Communism was ever a real threat to the West, despite its horrific, bloody history.
