Awww...lets not jump to conclusions. Most likely if he was friends with the boys stopped and arrested in SC it was caused by fireworks. Probably they're all just members of an Islamic fireworks club. Ya have to watch out for those fireworks recipes you find on the internet. They're all good boys, very religious, the families and friends are shocked, islamisareligionofpeace...islamisareligionofpeace... nothing to see here.

Okay class. The photo means nothing. We all look like nutters on our passport photos. Well, I do, but that's just the lighting. And that look look in his eyes? Could mean anything. Really. Involved in a bizarre explosion or something? Happens to everyone all the time. ALL the time. Only last week I was in some petrol station at midnight doing something or other. So what? And CAIR, a MB front organisation, is involved too? PAH! When I was caught trying to get an extra piece of chewing gum from the local dodgy gum machine, I do remember that CAIR were all over it, they were. All over it. Like an MB front group on a terror ac.......erm....okay, wrong anaology.

BayNews 9 reports this morning that Farid was arrested a year ago for having a fake I.D. and an expired driver's license.

This story continues to get more interesting. One thing I notice is that on all the local media websites this story is buried and can be difficult to find. It was front page for a few hours on MyFoxTampabay.com yesterday but then quickly vanished.

Everyone is tip-toeing around the obvious.

CAIR's involvement in this confirms to me they are directly active in attempting to cover up terrorist activities within the U.S.

"Islamic relations" in context with CAIR means protecting Jihadist interests as much as secular minded Muslims. Its a nice cover...

Posted by: SoteriA at February 7, 2008 9:44 AM

Yesterday, Mr. Spencer posted the related article with the caveat

No, I am not saying this was jihad-related. So why am I posting it? The facts are these: a 22-year-old mechanic with a name that may indicate he is a Muslim, . . .

Clearly he was correct, as confirmed by the immediate reaction by CAIR.

What is troubling is the connections being drawn to the Goose Creek duo and the FBI's immediate interest. Troubling because according to Debbie Schlussel:

Is FBI Sabotaging the "Just Fireworks" Smiling Terrorists Case?

I've written so many times on this site about how the FBI either bungles or deliberately sabotages so many cases involving domestic Islamic terrorism.
The latest is the case of Ahmed Abdellatif Sherif Mohamed and Youssef Samir Megahed, the smiling "Just Fireworks" terrorists. They were South Florida college students caught on an obscure highway in South Carolina close to a military base that houses "Enemy Combatants" and nuclear weapons.
As I reported then, FBI spokesman Richard Kolko claimed the case was not related to terrorism, even as his agents told the students' neighbors they were, indeed, Islamic terrorists.
Now, it appears the FBI is sabotaging this case. AP reported:

The FBI says two Egyptian college students arrested near the Navy weapons station at Goose Creek, South Carolina, last year were carrying low-grade fireworks as they claimed.
The FBI says the University of South Florida engineering students were not carrying dangerous explosives.
Twenty-six-year-old Ahmed Abdellatif Sherif Mohamed and 21-year-old Youssef Samir Megahed have been in jail since sheriff's deputies found what they called bomb-making materials in their car during a traffic stop.
They were indicted on federal charges of transporting explosives illegally.
But an FBI report submitted to the court Wednesday in Tampa, Florida, by Megahed's public defender says the items explode in tests.
U.S. attorney's office spokesman Steve Cole would not talk about the filing Thursday.

The face of a future criminal is my guess. The muslims only express a little grief is because now they will have to find another to blow themself up while killing infidels. This guy made a booboo and didn't take any infidels with him. Otherwise, why would a member of a death cult express grief - they don't care if muslims die.

If muslims cared if other muslims died they would do something about the situation where most of them live, they would help their poor out instead of using them as human bombs - eg: buy food instead of bombs in Gaza. Or stop training children to blow themselves up to try to kill infidels. Basically the list goes on as to how muslims care about death of anyone. If it is another muslim they would prefer to use them as propaganda against infidels - and in this case they can't use him at all.

Of course if the investigation turns against the deceased CAIR will accept the findings. They'll speak positively of the skill and objective nature of the agents and local police. They'll promise to fight the evil that infests islam. Who am I kidding? They'll just whine and state that islamophobia colored the investigation and that the "youth" was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

But what if the investigation shows he was at the wrong place at the wrong time? Will we accept it? Or will we claim cover up? Of course the twist is we have heard so many lies about the actions of muslims can the truth ever be known in this case?

The Simpsons cartoon Kwik-E Mart and its owner are a parody of this phenomenon. US convenience store / gas station Seven-Eleven based a promotion on the Simpsons Movie. BTW, Seven-Eleven stopped selling Citgo gas a couple of years ago because of the Venezuela issue. However, Joe Kennedy of "Citizens Energy" still praises the "good people of Venezuela" for providing cheap home heating oil.

We? Lots of crimes happen in lots of places and I don't see CAIR suddenly jumping into the fray and positioning themselves as spokesmen for anyone.

So what is their real interest in this case?

Cover-up seems to enter my mind for some reason. Perhaps the threat of a lawsuit to shut people up or to hinder investigation also comes to mind.

When I first read this story yesterday I yawned and scrolled to another page; now my interest is piqued -- let's look at this one under a microscope!

by interestinconundrum

Ask ICE or someone at State and they'll say they only let the law-abiding into the country.
Never mind that barring all Muslims is exactly the policy we should pursue while we are at war. Were peaceful Germans and Japanese let into the US after Pearl Harbor?
It's the advantage Islam has over the Nazis. It can't be linked back to one country. It's also conducted by individuals, with or without state sponsorship. Another advantage is that they don't have to declare themselves upfront. They can wear the facade of peace and assimilation up until the moment they brandish a weapon or set off a bomb. How do we recognize the next Mohammad Atta before he kills someone? Luck.

This guy Bedier should be called Taqiyya Bedier.....From Islam 101 on this site....

i. Taqiyya -- Religious Deception

Due to the state of war between dar al-Islam and dar al-harb, reuses de guerre, i.e., systematic lying to the infidel, must be considered part and parcel of Islamic tactics. The parroting by Muslim organizations throughout dar al-harb that "Islam is a religion of peace," or that the origins of Muslim violence lie in the unbalanced psyches of particular individual "fanatics," must be considered as disinformation intended to induce the infidel world to let down its guard. Of course, individual Muslims may genuinely regard their religion as "peaceful" -- but only insofar as they are ignorant of its true teachings, or in the sense of the Egyptian theorist Sayyid Qutb, who posited in his Islam and Universal Peace that true peace would prevail in the world just as soon as Islam had conquered it.

A telling point is that, while Muslims who present their religion as peaceful abound throughout dar al-harb, they are nearly non-existent in dar al-Islam. A Muslim apostate once suggested to me a litmus test for Westerners who believe that Islam is a religion of "peace" and "tolerance": try making that point on a street corner in Ramallah, or Riyadh, or Islamabad, or anywhere in the Muslim world. He assured me you wouldn't live five minutes.

Man was arming for 'war,' FBI says
By Robert Patrick
ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH
06/20/2007
Originally published Feb. 2, 2007:

"A St. Charles man obtained fully automatic weapons and tried to buy as many explosives as possible in preparation for what an associate called "war," the FBI says in court documents.

He bought three rifles and a Claymore anti-personnel mine and negotiated for a case of hand grenades, documents obtained by the Post-Dispatch show.

Mousa M. Abuelawi, 22, of Franjoe Court, was arrested Dec. 29 and charged on complaints accusing him of three counts of illegal possession or distribution of a machine gun and conspiracy to violate machine gun statutes.

Abuelawi, a Palestinian immigrant free on $50,000 bond, could not be reached. His brother declined to comment on his behalf. His lawyers, Scott Rosenblum and Gil Sison, did not return calls.

The context of the word "war" was not explained in court filings; the FBI declined to comment.

The man to whom the word was attributed, Thaer Abde Sumad, said in an interview Thursday that the purchases were not intended for terrorism but to make money supplying street gangs in a St. Louis turf war.

Sumad, 23, is not charged, although he is identified in an FBI affidavit as being present for one of the transactions.

He told a reporter he had no role in handling the firearms or explosives. He said he was at a meeting between Abuelawi and a federal informer outside a St. Louis gas station where Sumad works only because he knows both and wanted to say hello.

Sumad suggested that he and Abuelawi attracted special attention because of the sound of their names and their Arab ethnicity.

Abuelawi's lawyers have said he is a Palestinian immigrant.

Sumad is of Palestinian descent but was born in Indiana and raised in St. Louis, he said.

The FBI thinks it's a "terrorist thing," Sumad said, "especially after 9/11. They're trying to make it bigger than what it is."

Sumad said Abuelawi was "trying to make a few extra bucks."

An affidavit filed with the court by FBI Special Agent Stephen M. Smith, based in part on video and audio recordings, described these circumstances:

The informer used a cell phone to call Abuelawi on Nov. 8 and said he had a fully automatic rifle and a bomb or grenade for sale. Abuelawi and Sumad met with the informer at the gas station where they worked, in the 5700 block of West Florissant Road.

Abuelawi said he hoped the informer had brought the weapons and could sell them right away. He also said he would buy "whatever" the informer had to sell.

Sumad "stated he wants to buy as many explosives as possible because, 'we're going to war,'" the affidavit says. However, Sumad said in Thursday's interview that he does not remember making reference to "war," but added that if he did say it, he intended it as a flippant reference to a gang war.

The affidavit goes on to say:

On Nov. 21, the informer delivered a fully automatic M-16 rifle and a Claymore mine, or so Abuelawi was told. They had been rigged not to work.

That night, Abuelawi took the M-16 inside another gas station where he also worked, in the 6000 block of West Florissant Road, then put it back in his car.

The next day Abuelawi met a man who "appears to be Middle Eastern" at the station in the 5700 block and showed him the M-16 and the Claymore.

On Nov. 23, three St. Louis police officers entered the station and said they had a report of someone seen there with a gun. Sumad denied knowing anything about a firearm. Officers found the M-16, seized it and left.

On Nov. 29, the informer offered Abuelawi a chance to buy 30 hand grenades for $15,000, or $500 per grenade. Abuelawi haggled the price down to $400 per grenade and asked the informer to get him more M-16s and some AK-47 assault rifles.

Abuelawi wanted four grenades immediately but the informer had only pictures.

Abuelawi told the informer, "this is not my first time dealing with this (expletive)," according to the affidavit.

The informer and Abuelawi met again Dec. 5. Abuelawi was nervous and said "he and his people" didn't want the hand grenades at the time because he thought the police were in the cemetery across the street.

In fact, they were.

The affidavit quotes Abuelawi as saying "if me and my people get caught with that (expletive) it is all over." It says, "He expressed that, if caught, he and others could be deported."

But Abuelawi still said he wanted any guns the informer could get, "big or small."

On Dec. 27, the informer sold Abuelawi an M-16 and a Heckler & Koch MP-5 fully automatic submachine gun, for $600.

Abuelawi and an unidentified man took the guns to a house in the 9700 block of Medford Drive in St. Louis County and asked the occupants to store them.

Investigators searched the house the next day and seized both guns.

No one answered when a reporter and photographer went to the house Thursday.

In contrast to the affidavit, Sumad said that when police asked him whether there was a gun at the gas station, he had said, "I don't think so."

Sumad said he had been off when Abuelawi dropped the gun off at the station. Another employee told Sumad about the gun, brought it out from a storage room, pulled it out of its case and waved it around, Sumad said.

Sumad said that after the police seized the gun, FBI agents came to interview him.

During 3½ hours in the store's back room, they asked him for personal information and asked what he knew about the M-16, he said. Sumad said he lied and told agents he didn't know anything about the gun. He said he didn't want them to associate him with Abuelawi or the weapon.

Sumad said the FBI asked him about overseas money transfers, whether he was a member of the factions Hamas or Fatah, and what he thought of President George W. Bush and the war in Iraq. Sumad said he dismissed the factions with an expletive, and said that because Bush got what he wanted by ridding Iraq of dictator Saddam Hussein, the troops should leave.

Abuelawi is single and has no children and no assets, court documents state. He was fired by the gas station, co-workers said.

Jeff Fulton, assistant special agent in charge of the St. Louis office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said devices such as grenades and mines are "not a common product" for gangs. "But it's not unheard of," he said.

Abuelawi was arrested Dec. 29. He has appeared in federal court in St. Louis multiple times, including a status conference on Monday. At that hearing, U.S. Magistrate Judge Audrey Fleissig told Assistant U.S. Attorney Matt Drake that prosecutors had 30 days to obtain a grand jury indictment against Abuelawi or she would dismiss the charges.

Drake did not return a message seeking comment. Roland Corvington, special agent in charge of FBI's St. Louis office, said he could not comment because it is an ongoing investigation."

Posted by: Hugh at February 7, 2008 4:45 PM

Hugh quoted a St. Louis Post-Dispatch story that A_Plague_On_Both_Houses linked:

On Nov. 23 [2006], three St. Louis police officers entered the station and said they had a report of someone seen there with a gun. Sumad denied knowing anything about a firearm. Officers found the M-16, seized it and left.

Someone please help me pick my jaw up off the floor.

Two important facts about the St. Louis story:

"Roland Corvington, special agent in charge of FBI's St. Louis office, said he could not comment because it is an ongoing investigation."

#1 - The FBI branch in St. Louis has gone through CAIR's sensitivity training.

"His lawyers, Scott Rosenblum and Gil Sison, did not return calls."

#2 - Rosenblum is the premier attorney in St. Louis. He is not the kind of attorney a gas station employee could afford to retain.

I did a little Googling and found the out come of this year old story. It turns out it was more about gang banging. Not saying the Islam is not in it someway, but it may not be the top motivation. Mr. Abuelawi and fellow gang members are serving sentences up to 40 months. Here is the LINK dated Nov. 11, 2007.

The interesting thing about this is that I got it from a archived mail site that links back to a empty page at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Not sure why the article is gone however from the papers site.

Again, Smith and Co. have been sensitized ala CAIR.

Believe a liberal rag like the StL Post dispatch if you want. Believe the FBI statements if you want. Believe an extremely high paid attorney if you want. But for those who live in Abulawi's middle class, conservative neighborhood, when safety is a concern, you take the "safety" off!

For "Many questions are left surrounding the death of a young Palestinian man", read "Many questions are left surrounding the death of a young 'Palestinian' Arab Muslim man".

For "Karaka’s close family is located in Palestine", read "Karaka's close family is located in the Arab-occupied ‘Palestinian' territories." Or, perhaps, "Karaka's close family is located in Muslim-dominated Ramallah in Samaria, alias the 'west bank'".

Tampa Garage Fire Victim Put To Rest
By Valerie Kalfrin of The Tampa Tribune
Published: February 8, 2008

Tampa, FL - With prayers in Arabic, family and friends today buried a 22-year-old mechanic who died in a commercial-garage fire this week.

Farid I.A. Karakra was inside Jacob's Lube at 901 W. Busch Blvd. at 12:02 a.m. Wednesday, when a series of explosions ignited the business. Police, firefighters and nearby workers tried to free him from the burning building but were unsuccessful.

"It's horrible," cousin Farid Masud, 35, of Tampa said shortly before a prayer service at the Islamic Center of Tampa Bay, which handled the funeral.

"He was uplifting. Energetic," Masud said. "He's got his whole life ahead of him."

Tampa Fire Rescue Capt. Bill Wade said investigators are awaiting lab tests to help determine the fire's cause. Friday, Wade said his agency's records showed a few minor fuel and oil spills at the business over the past few years but nothing out of the ordinary.

Tampa police, the state fire marshal and the Tampa office of the FBI are assisting with the investigation. So far, the FBI said it has found nothing unusual in the debris.

Karakra came to Tampa from Jerusalem about four years ago. He was engaged to the sister of the business's owner, Yazid Yousef, said Yousef's brother, Yousef Yousef.

Yazid Yousef is distraught over the loss of his business and his future brother-in-law, the brother said: "He can't talk."

The two relatives did not know why Karakra had been at the shop so late but said he often worked in his spare time. He also enjoyed relaxing at Al-Aqsa, a Middle Eastern grocery and coffee shop on North 56th Street, they said.

He was to be buried at Sunset Memory Gardens in Thonotosassa.

"We have a saying: To God we belong. To God we return," Masud said.
