Florida: Two Muslims arrested for misunderstanding Islam, plotting jihad mass murder

More Muslims pay the price of misunderstanding the true, peaceful teachings of Islam -- and yet still no Muslim organization anywhere in the U.S. has any program designed to prevent young Muslims from misunderstanding Islam in this way. "FBI arrests two Pakistani brothers from Oakland Park on terrorism charges," by Scott Hiaasen for the Miami Herald, November 30:

Two Pakistani brothers from Oakland Park have been arrested on terrorism charges, accused of conspiring to deploy explosive weapons against an American target, according to a federal indictment released Friday.
The brothers, 20-year-old Raess Alam Qazi and 30-year-old Sheheryar Alam Qazi, have each been charged with one count of conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction and one count of conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists. They were arrested Thursday by the FBI and remain in custody at the Broward County Jail.

Between July 2011 and Thursday, prosecutors said, the pair provided transportation, money, lodging and other aid toward a plan to use a large-scale weapon somewhere in the United States. Federal authorities would disclose few details of the ongoing investigation Friday, declining to name the target of the alleged plot, or how close the plan was to fruition....

The case is being investigated by the FBI’s South Florida Joint Terrorism Task Force. Investigators would not say how the terrorist plot was detected, though sources close to the investigation said Thursday’s arrests were not the result of an FBI sting.

Prosecutors said the Qazi brothers were born in Pakistan, but are both naturalized U.S. citizens....

If convicted, the Qazis face a sentence of up to 15 years in prison on the material support charge, and a potential life sentence on the weapon of mass destruction charge.

I understand that CAIR is going to mount a public relations campaign to straighten out the misunderstanding about "jihad" in response to Pam Geller's bus ads. So maybe CAIR will unwittingly help to prevent terrorism, thanks to AFDI and reverse psychology.

Stop all Muslim immigration and deport all those already by some means or other and pay attention to Fitzgerald's prayer.
Fitzgerald's Prayer
Stop, for god’s sake stop, importing trouble—and Muslim immigrants, as a whole, necessarily mean trouble, in all lands where the political and legal institutions, and social arrangements, are flatly contradicted by the Shari’a. Muslims are obligated to change or tear down those institutions, in order to remove all “obstacles to Islam.” It is not special or individual malice that prompts that attitude. That is their duty, a central duty. Why not come to fully and soberly understand that duty, and out of a minimal sense of self-preservation, cease to import those into our lands (America, Canada, Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Australia, and every other place that has so generously admitted, under a twisted definitiion of “refugees,” people who do not, and can not, wish our ways or institutions or constitutions well.

Guys,
Did you know Nostradamus said that the 3rd Antichrist,the most evil one,would be a Muslim from Arabia,who will enter Europe and wear a blue turban.

I dont believe he was any prophet BUT political correctness prevents those who write about him to SAY IT.Check it out:

"Was Nostradamus (1503-1566) a True Prophet?A Documentary Proves he Was Not

AND ALSO

How many *is* that this year, so far, in the USA?

Just how many Muslims have been caught plotting to carry out violent mass-murderous jihad terror raids, on American soil, in the course of January-November 2012?

And how many of those were 'naturalised US citizens', immigrants from various Muslim hellholes? Or the children of Muslim 'immigrants'/ invaders/ colonists?

(There *were* some who were Dangerous Converts, people of anglo or afro American ancestry, born in the USA to non-Muslim families, but who had decided to join the global Ummah, or Mohammedan Mob, and therefore turned enemy to the country of their birth, and to their non-Muslim parents and family and neighbours; such should in future be treated as traitors and insurrectionists, and packed off to 100 % Islamic lands, there to remain under a ban of Lifelong Exile, declared Outlaw).

These Pakistani Muslim invaders should, if found guilty, be stripped of their US citizenship - for which they very obviously do not care two pins, and which they very obviously obtained under false pretences and with no good intent - and, sentences served, be deported back to Pakistan...together with their extended families, and preferably also the imams of the mosque/s they attend/ed.

Is it normal to stay in a county jail while on federal charges?

Yes. Why would you think otherwise?
