And yet still no mosque or Islamic organization in the U.S. has any program to keep Muslims from imbibing the Islam of the "extremists." Now, why is that?
"Portland man charged with aiding suicide bomber in Pakistan," by Kim Murphy for the Los Angeles Times, March 5 (thanks to all who sent this in):
SEATTLE—A Portland, Ore., man was arrested by the FBI on Tuesday on charges of aiding one of three suicide bombers who conducted a deadly attack near the headquarters of Pakistan’s intelligence service in Lahore in 2009.At least 30 people were killed in the attack, in which armed men sprayed guards with gunfire before sending a van loaded with explosives toward a police building near the provincial headquarters of the Inter-Services Intelligence directorate, one of the most powerful institutions in Pakistan.
Nearly 300 others were injured as the building was reduced to rubble and several others were twisted and broken. Emergency workers lined up corpses on the sidewalk.
A federal grand jury indictment unsealed Tuesday alleges that Reaz Qadir Khan, 48, a naturalized U.S. citizen living in southeast Portland, was providing money and advice to one of the attackers, Ali Jaleel, who had traveled to Lahore from the Maldives with the aim of joining Islamic militants there....
Little is known about Khan except that he had been a wastewater employee with the city of Portland’s environmental services bureau since 2007. His brother attended his brief hearing before U.S. Magistrate Paul Papak on Tuesday afternoon but did not speak to reporters.
According to the indictment, Khan and Jaleel engaged in a long email correspondence that began in 2005 with what appeared to be nostalgic recollections of their past ambitions.
Khan said he was “at a standstill in the matter of knowledge and practice,” and that “everything that we used to talk about now seems like a distant dream,” the indictment said. He said he was asking God to forgive him for his laxness and inaction.
Jaleel is said to have reminded him of promises they’d made to seek "martyrdom" in the name of God. “Where are the words you said with tears in your eyes, that ‘We shall strive until Allah’s word is superior or until we perish???’” he wrote in January 2006. “This world is of no use to us, so let’s sacrifice ourself [sic] for the pleasure of Allah in his way???”
Jaleel, it seemed, was preparing to take action. He was arrested with several others from the Maldives in Sri Lanka en route to Pakistan, reportedly to train to join militants in Iraq or Afghanistan. He determined to try again, and in October 2008 wrote Khan that he was planning to “hasten [his] departure” and would head for Khan’s home country, its exact location undisclosed, the indictment said.
He might not be able to wait for Khan, Jaleel wrote, but if he had to proceed, he would “leave bread crumbs” for Khan to follow. First, though, Khan had to promise to make sure Jaleel’s family would be taken care of.
Khan, according to the indictment, emailed him detailed instructions, advising him how to purchase his tickets, and suggesting that he not tell his family that he didn’t have a job awaiting him in Pakistan....
Khan arranged through an unidentified intermediary in Los Angeles to have $2,450 available for Jaleel to pick up from a “trusted brother” in Pakistan, but told Jaleel he should “keep discussion with him to a minimum” when he picked up the money.
On Nov. 5, the indictment says, he told Jaleel to leave a closed envelope addressed to him with the Pakistani contact. “Don’t write anything extra on the envelope. Anything you need to write, put inside,” he advised.
Ten days later, Khan emailed an associate of Jaleel about arranging travel to Pakistan for Jaleel’s two wives.
That appeared to be the last communication. On May 27, 2009, Jaleel and two others mounted the attack that struck near the regional ISI headquarters, killing all three bombers—but not before Jaleel recorded a video released by As Sahab, the media outlet of Al Qaeda, taking responsibility for the attack.
In it, according to the indictment, Jaleel can be seen preparing for the attack at a training camp in what is believed to be one of the tribally controlled areas of Pakistan. A statement he apparently recorded beforehand, under the name of Musab Sayyid, also is included. It says: “I want my blood to be…the red carpet that would take the Islamic nation to its glory,” he said....

Try.
Convict.
Put in prison (with NO contact permitted with non-Muslim prisoners).
Strip of American citizenship.
Deport to Pakistan. If Pakistan refuses to take him back - but given that he was involved in a mass-murderous attack on fellow Muslims in Pakistan whom he deemed insufficiently Islamic, one hopes that the Pakistani will consider themselves as having a bone to pick with him - just drop him off in the badlands of Afghanistan.
And his whole family, if he has one, can go back to the dar al Islam with him.
Memo to US authorities.
1/ STOP Muslim immigration.
2/ DO NOT GRANT any more US citizenships to Muslims who are applying for same. There have been far too many attempted jihad attacks and too much jihad enabling done by Muslims who had previously acquired US citizenship. Read the accounts of the trial of the Time Square would-be jihad bomber, who was already plotting mass murder even as he took his oath of US citizenship; in the trial, he told the Judge, when she asked about that oath, that "I swore, but I didn't mean it". How many *other* Muslims are lurking amongst the US population, who have done *exactly the same* - sworn an oath of US citizenship that they had NO intention of keeping? That they swore with actual *hatred* in their hearts, toward the Infidel polity and population of the USA?
3/ DO NOT GRANT any more residencies to Muslims.
4/ DO NOT RENEW residency papers already possessed by Muslims. When their term runs out, out they go.
