Why were "British militants" running a mosque in Queens? Why wasn't it shut down? Jihad In America Update from the TimesOnline, with thanks to Jeffrey Imm:
AN AMERICAN al-Qaeda operative who was a close associate of the leader of the July 7 bombers was recruited at a New York mosque that British militants helped to run.British radicals regularly travelled to the Masjid Fatima Islamic Centre, in Queens, to organise sending American volunteers to jihadi training camps in Pakistan.
Investigators reportedly found that Mohammad Sidique Khan had made calls to the mosque last year in the months before he led the terrorist attack on London that killed 52 innocent people....
A new book, The One Percent Doctrine, by Ron Suskind, claims that FBI and CIA agents discovered that Khan had made trips to the US and was in contact with American Muslim extremists on the East Coast.
Mohammad Junaid Babar, one recruit from the Masjid Fatima Islamic Centre, has told US intelligence officials that he met Khan in a jihadi training camp in Pakistan in July 2003. He claims that the pair became friends as they studied how to assemble explosive devices.
Babar, 31, a computer programmer, says that it was at the Masjid Fatima centre that he became a radical. He has admitted in a US court to supplying money and military materials to a high-ranking al-Qaeda official at the jihadi camp in South Waziristan, close to the Afghan border. Babar moved to Britain after his month at the camp. FBI agents who arrested him in Queens in April 2004 say that he had been under surveillance “for some time” but so far they have not revealed all that Babar told them about Khan.

Where do these guys get the money for airline tickets? Do they pool their air miles or something?

Probably. And maybe a little Housing Benefit scam here, a little Sickness Benefit fraud there. Then there's zakat - my local 7/11 has a collection box on the counter, orange w/ red arabic lettering. As I can't read the label I can only speculate that it's meant for some cause sympathetic to Moslems, to which infidels aren't expected to contribute...

We need to profile, document, and tighten the immigration laws. It is just too easy to enter the USA. We should also photograph, fingerprint and run checks. If anyone objects, put them back on the return flight. and as they say in old Mexico AMF .

The Times article is down...perhaps they are afraid of the suicide bombers mentioned in the title...

First they should STOP calling them radicals first of all. That might just be a start to being honest about these vile death worshipers.
Islam is a death cult!
Next close down that New York mosque STAT! That would be the second step to telling the world we will not condone the actions of Islam...YES Islam! Hear me freaking CAIR! I said ISLAM!

"British suicide bomber",
whoa, stop there, right there.
There was nothing British about him.
When you hear the name "Mohammad Sidique Khan" does that sound even the slightest bit British?
British means to be a part of the Union, The country with the correct title, The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
People who go around preparing to blow themselves up to kill people who are part of the west, Britain and it's people are part of the west, are not by definition British.
So less of the British when referring to those nutters please.
They are no more British than dogs are horses if they are born in a stable.
