What's this? The AP headline for this story is "Swede charged in Manhattan with Oregon terror camp plot." Ah, there, you see? It's just like the mainstream media tells us: terrorism can arise among anyone, just like whooping cough or toe fungus. It just happens. No doubt this Swedish terrorist was plotting his attacks over heaping plates of Köttbullar and Jordgubbstårta, right? And probably he was a dedicated Bible-reader, eh?
Well, actually this Swede's name is not Greta Garbo, Björn Borg, or Ingmar Bergman (or even Ingrid Bergman); it's Oussama Kassir. And it looks as if he was motivated by the same jihad ideology that motivates violent Muslims around the world. What a surprise. But what AP thinks most important to tell us that he is a Swede.
NEW YORK -- A Lebanese-born Swede has been charged in a plot to set up a terrorist training camp in Oregon, federal prosecutors announced Tuesday.A criminal complaint charging Oussama Kassir with conspiring to provide material support to terrorists was unsealed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, U.S. Attorney Michael J. Garcia said in a release.
The case relates to an indictment in Manhattan already charging Mustafa Kamel Mustafa and Haroon Aswat in the plot. Mustafa and Aswat are being detained in England while awaiting extradition to the United States....
The complaint alleges that Kassir and others conspired to establish a training camp for holy war, or jihad, in Bly, Ore. According to the complaint, Kassir and others wanted to set up the camp to teach military-style jihad methods so a community of Muslims could move to Afghanistan to fight or to be trained more there.
The complaint refers to a letter faxed from one conspirator to another saying that the Bly property was in a "pro-militia and firearms state" that "looks just like Afghanistan" and that the group was "stockpiling weapons and ammunition."...
The government also said that a witness saw Kassir in possession of a compact disc with information about improvising poisons.

Islam... the religion of dangerous violent excrement the world over. Hooray for multicultualism.

How do these guys get Visas and immigration for America? I know so many who are busting a gut to go to the US but these Jihadists just get in and set up camp.

Oh C'mon Robert you have it all wrong this time!!
They're making this guy a scapegoat cuz he's muslim...C'mon CAIR!! LETS JUBILATE for Allah cuz he's gonna get off too. Poor guy, like al-arian he'll be found not guilty by a jury of his "peers"...the Defence? Wrong place at the wrong time!! He was on vacation, took a wrong turn going to Stockholm and ended up in Oregon and NOW as a muslim he is being victimised by the racist infidel US.
Funny though, I keep having this reoccuring urge to ask a silly silly question? A question that no-one seems to be asking at the moment. Who was financing this misunderstood guy since as an uneducated muslim he is incapable of making money on his own accord? Hmmm, did anyone say Islamic Jihad Girl Guides? or maybe Saudi marshmellow salesmen? You know what? I think I have the answer -> he was stockpiling ammo and nerve gas because he mistakenly thought it was the stuff you use when playing paint ball or sumptin? RIGHT!?!?!? RIGHT!?!?!?
Harmless, totally harmless let him walk now and get it over with; at least that way he can make it home in time for Christmas to have a drink with his "peers"...LOL!
By the by...read an article on the internet that quoted the muslims currently rioting, burning cars, shooting at churches (for better health care and jobs of course) in australia as referring to Australians as Ausies and themselves as Arabs...hmmm and most of these guys were born where?

Establishing a camp for holy war is probably permissible.
Since Jihad is one of the five pillars of islam, if we kafirs feel threatened we are probably misunderstanding that "great" religion of peace.
If we go out to the street in protest we will be surely called racists.

"Swedish parliament to cut Iran ties
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
sheera claire frenkel, THE JERUSALEM POST Dec. 14, 2005
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Swedish parliament ceased all bilateral contacts with the Iranian parliament Tuesday, The Jerusalem Post has learned.
The move follows a letter Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin sent asking parliaments worldwide to express their support for Israel. The letter, which was sent to more than 80 parliaments, called for an international response to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's call in October to "wipe Israel off the map."
"In recent years Iran has not merely settled for verbal attacks on Israel, Zionism and the Jewish people. It has been unrelenting in its efforts to achieve nuclear military capability and has funded, supplied and provided operational guidance to several major terrorist organizations," Rivlin wrote in the letter. "I strongly feel that due to the severity of this statement, a worldwide parliamentary reaction is called for."
The Speaker of the Swedish Parliament, Bjorn von Sydow, took immediate action based on Rivlin's letter.
"Although being restricted by constitutional limitations to act in matters of foreign policies, I can assure you that I will use every opportunity I have to condemn such statements... I have made sure that we cease all bilateral contacts with the Iranian parliament," Sydow wrote in response on November 14.
He ended the letter by asserting: "I am willing to defend the rights of Israel to exist as strongly as I defend the rights of my own country to exist." "
Yes, I am impressed.

As a swede I can tell you that the majority of swedes hate terrorists and are sick of our social democrat government who are just a bunch of inneffective pussies.
They used to be able to keep us down with their informal control of the PC media, but now with internet discussion groups, the whole country is boiling with anger over how lame Sweden has been on the international scene.
We hope the opposition will win the coming elections, and then you guys won't have reason to be frustrated with us any more. Until then, at least the Swedish security police will keep working behind the scenes, to set these terrorists up for capture as soon as they try to travel out the country.

scribe10: That's good news indeed. May the pendulum finally start swinging back from the outrageous direction it's been in ever since Arafat's outrageous first appearance before the UN with that olive branch in one hand and a rifle in the other.

Shiva,
Informative link! And the date is January 2004, I believe.
