What is it that "radicalizes" a "26-year-old Massachusetts man" like Rezwan Ferdaus? Reading about the exploits of Sam Adams and the Sons of Liberty? A rough game of touch football with Jack, Bobby and Ted? And what, oh what, could be the inciting literature to which this poor fellow was exposed? Common Sense? Democracy In America? The mind boggles. "Massachusetts Man Arrested in Alleged Plot to Destroy Pentagon, U.S. Capitol," from the Associated Press, September 28 (thanks to Philip):
BOSTON – A 26-year-old Massachusetts man has been arrested and accused of plotting to destroy the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol with large remote-controlled aircraft filled with explosives.Rezwan Ferdaus of Ashland was arrested Wednesday in Framingham when undercover federal agents delivered materials he'd requested for his alleged plan, including grenades, six machine guns and what Ferdaus believed was C-4 explosive.
Ferdaus, a U.S. citizen and Northeastern University graduate, was scheduled to make an initial appearance in federal court in Worcester on Wednesday afternoon....
What? A Northeastern University graduate? Doesn't Ferdaus know that poverty and ignorance cause jihad?
According to the federal affidavit, Ferdaus began planning "jihad" against the U.S. in early 2010. He allegedly believed he would have a large psychological impact by killing Americans, who he described as "enemies of Allah."
Here's the story on the PC Miami Herald:

OT & hilarious. A business acquaintance sent this, attributable to Jeff Foxworthy, but I doubt it, and haven't verified it:
You Might Be a Muslim if--
1. You refine heroin for a living, but you have a moral objection to liquor.
2. You own a $3,000 machine gun and $5,000 rocket launcher, but you can't afford shoes.
3. You have more wives than teeth.
4. You wipe your butt with your bare hand, but consider bacon unclean.
5. You think vests come in two styles: bullet-proof and suicide.
6. You can't think of anyone you haven't declared Jihad against.
7. You consider television dangerous, but routinely carry explosives in your clothing.
8. You were amazed to discover that cell phones have uses other than setting off roadside bombs.
9. You have nothing against women and think every man should own at least four.
10. Your cousin is president of the United States.

Fear not. Massachusetts will find a way to screw this up.

A large remote controlled plane?
Probably from Acme Manufacturing.
This is the best that a Muzzie mind can come up as an equivalent for an Islamic "predator" drone.

Arrest his family and deport them.
Foiled Muslim plots count for nothing. Nothing in terms of proving to the unknowing world that a 1400-year jihad against the Islamic-named House of War is afoot. The foiled plan does not have the learning value of witnessing and experiencing actual murder in the name of Islam.
To the unknowing world, to liberals, and to Muslim apologists, only actual Muslim attacks count for anything. And even then when they do occur, a predictable, super-annealing use of the Muslim EXCUSE Machine, familiar to every JW reader, will be kicked into high gear, with its sole purpose being to invent reasons why an obvious Muslim attack is not a Muslim attack. “Who are you going to believe, us or your lyin’ eyes?”
Quoted from the article:
I don't know about the rest of you (well, I do..hehe) but I'm getting mightly fed up with these damn jihadi wannabes and their fellow co-cultists in this country!
When this SOB gets his day in court, and spills his guts about his precious moon god, I hope this MassHole judge throws the book at this punk, literally and figuratively:
Time to brush on some US law here, namely:
18 USC 115 §§ 2381 et seq.
Treason and Sedition, folks. It's on the books for a reason. Now let's use it!
In the second paragraph of the official DOJ press release the spokeman says "I want the public to understand that Mr. Ferdaus' conduct, is not reflective of a particular culture, community or religion."
In paragraph 7 we learn the suspect "Began planning to commit "jihad" against the U.S. in early 2010.
In paragraph 10 we learn that the suspect "Envisioned causing a large psychological impact by killing Americans including women and children, who he referred to as enemies of Allah."
This is too much. Just because the guy talked about "jihad" and "enemies of Allah" thats no reason to asociate him with any particular culture, community or religion.
She added, “I want the public to understand that Mr. Ferdaus’ conduct, as alleged in the complaint, is not reflective of a particular culture, community or religion. In addition to protecting our citizens from the threats and violence alleged today, we also have an obligation to protect members of every community, race, and religion against violence and other unlawful conduct.”
-Dhimmi Fed prosecutor
I guess his references to Allah's wants and Jihad has no relationship to a particular religion.
What community, religion, race(?) do you think she is referring to?
Yup.
The bloke a. took out American citizenship and then b. plotted to attack the Pentagon **and the Capitol**.
Like your cousins across the Atlantic say about one Guy Fawkes - 'gunpowder, treason and plot".
Treason and sedition (after acquiring citizenship under false pretences).
Reminds me of the Times Square would-be bomber and his exchange, in court, with his Judge, who asked him about *his* American citizenship and oath of allegiance:
"I did swear, but I didn't mean it".
Judge: "Then you took a false oath".
I don't generally go for the death penalty but...what do we imagine would have happened to a German-born person with American citizenship who during WWII had been caught - in, say, 1943 - plotting to blow up the Capitol, in order to please Der Fuehrer?
Do we know what mosque he attended?
Where's he from?
Persia?
Or...Pakistan?
She added, “I want the public to understand that Mr. Ferdaus’ conduct, as alleged in the complaint, is not reflective of a particular culture, community or religion. In addition to protecting our citizens from the threats and violence alleged today, we also have an obligation to protect members of every community, race, and religion against violence and other unlawful conduct.”
-Dhimmi Fed prosecutor
This to me sounds like the prosecutor is saying she's just as worried about jackbooted, fascist middle-aged white people going out and massacring muslims as she is of the terrorism act she is prosecuting. Question: where is the hard data to support this? Answer: there is none, except in her lawschool-educated imagination.
DDA,
Like your cousins across the Atlantic say about one Guy Fawkes - 'gunpowder, treason and plot".
Thanks for the reply. Indeed, our cousins across the Big Water (as I like to call the North Atlantic) had the right idea in 1605 with regard to Guy Fawkes: Hanged, drawn and quartered!
I can certainly understand your qualms about the death penalty, but I hold no such reservations. Like you said not long ago:
"It's time for the muslims to start loosing some turf."
I'll refrain from stating something similar.
Have a great day!
...accused of plotting to destroy the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol...
Good try, zombies, but recheck the scorecard:
Pentagon - 1, zombies - 0
Gotta love Indiana limestone!
I should have added to my comment:
Hey, zombies, it didn't work with a Boeing 757; how in the (imaginary) delusions of allah do you think you're going to "bring down" the Pentagon and the US Capitol with a 20 pound RC aircraft?
What a bunch of dumbasses! Fry this bastard!
She added, “I want the public to understand that Mr. Ferdaus’ conduct, as alleged in the complaint, is not reflective of a particular culture, community or religion.

Appears that CAIR has already paid her a visit.
It should be made clear that Carmen Ortiz is a US Attorney and not part of Mr, Ferdous' defence team.
What is it that "radicalizes" a "26-year-old Massachusetts man" like Rezwan Ferdaus?
Envy?
Islam is death; freedom is life. A Muslim should be envious of the free world.
Islam: where freedom ends and slavery begins.
Pgund,
An insignificant voided life, seeking attention.

Culture? this is from Wiki:
_________________________
An integrated pattern of human knowledge, belief, and behavior that depends upon the capacity for symbolic thought and social learning.
___________________________
I think I started making paper airplanes when I was 6 or 7.
___________________________now Mirriam's
Community?
a unified body of individuals
___________________________
The Jihadis, American - born or otherwise, are the epitome of dis-unity. They are chaotic and stupid. They are treasonous and seditious. They are the anti-community.
________________________
Religion? cambridge...
the belief in and worship of a god or gods, or any such system of belief and worship.
____________________________
Well, I guess that sort of nullifies the dhimmified statement by the official, since he is, at minimum, a member of one of the above "classifications", himself.
It is this kind of voodoo lefty double speak that has gotten us into trouble in the first place. Enough already!
The Jihadi, and the FBI, and you and me and everybody else are part of a "community". So what? Members of the white, caucasion, law-abiding (generally) citizens of America are arrested every day and labelled as "Christian Fundamentalists", etc., etc., while MUSLIMS are somehow excused because of their "culture", "community" or "religion". It's irritating in the extreme.
_____________
We need a new lexicon, Ron.
have a nice evening...
"white, caucasion"....
oops. nothing like redundancy and spelling errors in 2 words.
Thanks for the info on Joe Lawless, undaunted. What a maroon, as Bugs Bunny was wont to say. Spending a lot of time in New Hampshire as my wife and I do (we have a second home there), I know only too well what traditional New Hampshireites call folks from Massachusetts----Massholes. From my experience it's fully deserved. You only further confirmed things here. Hope you're doing well.
I recently ordered the 10-volume translation of the tafsir Ibn Kathir, which I received on Monday, and which I am busily studying.
Ibn Kathit's commentary on the first two surahs, those of al Fatiha and al Baquara, tell me all I need to know about the Muslim fanatic's source of inspiration: authentic Islam as taught in the Quran and Sunnah.
The ibn Kathir tafsir is available online, and I recommend every non-Muslim read and study it.
Figuring it out (the connection between Islamic hatred and violence and Islam) ain't exactly rocket science.
Even successful plots teach nothing to the Left. Scumbag Oscama did three minutes of shout outs before even mentioning Fort Hood, which to this day he is surpressing. For Gabby Giffords otoh he stars in a national celebration of mourning. That's when I started to hate him.
"Where's he from?"
Funny, the MSM won't say.
"...how in the (imaginary) delusions of allah do you think you're going to "bring down" the Pentagon and the US Capitol with a 20 pound RC aircraft?"
Yep. If the planes could have gotten off the ground and to the target about all they could do is blow in windows. People could have been hurt, but the odds of anyone being killed were low.
This from the Boston Herald:

Tom,
Yep. If the planes could have gotten off the ground and to the target about all they could do is blow in windows. People could have been hurt, but the odds of anyone being killed were low.
The death toll would be zero. However, a REAL leader, i.e, a US President with balls, would immediately stand up in front of the US Congress (and the UN GA) and declare that Mecca will become the glass source for the entire planet for the next million years.
And what does the BBC News say in their headlines? An 'American citizen' was held in a plot to crash his plane into the Pentagon..
Thanks for that link.
I went and had a look. 151 'comments' and quite a few folks have his number.
I observe also that the first paragraph of the report reads like this:
"An Ashland Muslim man was arrested today...".
Straws in the wind, straws in the wind.
I think the unofficial ban on the use of the M-word may be - ever so slowly - starting to break down.
While looking at the article, I also saw another article about the same event.
His neighbours are shocked ! Shocked! they just can't believe it!
But among the comments, someone calling himself LTLDOG TOO provided the following fascinating snippet of information.
Our Mr Muslim Ferdauz has 'form'.
Namely, malicious vandalism - and possibly, though he denied it, desecration of the Flag - while at High School.
Comment by 'LTLDOG TOO':
"Three high school students, in a letter to their classmates last week, took responsibility for pouring concrete in front of 10 of the school's doors the night of April 9.
"The male students, ******** Rezwan Ferdaus and ********, claim in the letter that the "concrete job was our doing," **but insist responsibility for other acts of vandalism, including burning an American flag and a tennis court net, lay elsewhere.** {suuure...but do we believe them? - dda}.
"The net melted and dripped on the court, blistering the court and causing what will likely be thousands of dollars in damage.
"The morning of April 10 the school's custodial staff also found **a burned American flag flying upside down on the pole in front of the high school,** {my emphasis - dda} a student desk, removed from the athletic field's ticket office, on the roof, and a hatch door left open on the roof of the press box.
{Note - a burned American flag, not only burned but hung **upside down**.
I doubt that *any* non-Muslim American student would do *that*. That degree of symbolic 'humiliation' of a major symbol shrieks 'Muslim!' for a mile - dda}.
"Read more: http://www.milforddailynews.com/archive/x622297279#ixzz1ZHKWFDsk
That's just the start of his antics....".
"Rezwan Ferdaus of Ashland was arrested Wednesday in Framingham when undercover federal agents delivered materials he'd requested for his alleged plan, including grenades, six machine guns and what Ferdaus believed was C-4 explosive."
Don't be surprised when the defense claims entrapment.
It happened before.
"..how in the (imaginary) delusions of allah do you think you're going to "bring down" the Pentagon and the US Capitol with a 20 pound RC aircraft?"
This is "how" (please watch carefully).

The Prophet called, “War (i.e. jihad) is deceit”
Bukhari Vol. 4, Book 52, #267
“I have been made victorious with terror”
Bukhari Vol. 4, Book 52, #220
8:12 “…I will instil terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers”
8:60 “…to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies, of Allah” (i.e. “Unbelievers” 8:59)
http://schnellmann.org/counterjihad.html
The man whom Muslims admire was a pedophile polygamist (married Aisha when she was 6 and he was 53) and a murderer (ordered gruesome murder (by beheading) of 900 Jews from Medina because they would not accept his claims of speaking to God. Koran is filled with diatribes against Jews, Christians and infidels. The good parts of Koran are copies of Jewish and Christian Bibles.
Particularly, Koran disses Jews for liking life on Earth rather then preferring Paradise, which true Muslims are instructed to love. Just these suras are inspiring guys like Fort Hood psychiatrist and this miserable physics major to blow themselves up while murdering their colleagues, since 72 virgins waiting for them in Paradise is a strong incentive to 'martyrdom" (i.e. murdering Jews and Americans). According to some estimates ~20% of Muslims around the world are radicalized (i.e ready to die and murder for Allah), while the other 80% either keep quiet or are actively engaged in whitewashing Islam and its teachings.
That is 300 MILLIONS of crazed hateful (mostly) men around the world, ready for their crazy jihad against the West, while another 1300 MILLIONS are trying to persuade us that this terrorism has nothing to do with Islam. Muslims need to reform their religion and eliminate hatred of the "other". They also need to rethink their admiration for pedophile polygamist and murderer. Remember what happened to Salmon Rushdie when he told the truth about his former religion? Death (fatwa) which forced him to hide even in England! This tolerance of intolerance (of Islam) needs to stop and appropriate measures taken to de-radicalize Islam.
The whitewashing of Islam must stop if we are to eliminate Jihadists growing around the world like mushrooms.
What is it that "radicalizes" a "26-year-old Massachusetts man" like Rezwan Ferdaus?
