Jihad Watch

Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

N.J. jihad plot stopped just in time, feds say

May 10, 2007 7:33 am By Robert Spencer

Wow. “Jihad” in an AP headline without scare quotes? What’s this world coming to?

Note also “Eljvir ‘Elvis’ Duka.” Here is yet more evidence that, contrary to the assumptions that many hold, affinity for American pop culture does not efface jihadist sentiments. The Afghan jihadist who crowed that “the Americans love Pepsi-Cola, we love death” put the two in opposition to one another, but again and again we have seen jihadists start drinking Pepsi, and even coming to love it, but not stopping loving death.

Also note the illustration of the need to restore sanity to our immigration policies, to see immigration as a national security issue — immigration by Muslims in particular, since there is no reliable way to distinguish a jihadist from an anti-jihadist, and no Muslim groups have pronounced takfir on Osama or other jihadists (that is, declared them unbelievers). At very least as a first step of many necessary steps, there should be instituted screening for jihadist and Sharia sentiments and explicit acceptance of the non-establishment clause, with deportation resulting from any false answer given, once any of the individual’s actions demonstrate that the answer he gave was indeed false.

And finally, even pizza delivery men should not, in these perilous times, be allowed casual and unrestricted access to military bases.

“N.J. jihad plot stopped just in time, feds say,” by David Porter for Associated Press, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist:

NEWARK, N.J. – Federal authorities said Wednesday that the Muslim men suspected of plotting to massacre U.S. soldiers at Fort Dix were on the verge of carrying out their plan when they were arrested this week.

“I think they were in the last stage of planning,” U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie said. “They had training, they had maps, and I think they were very close to moving on this.

“Our view was they had pretty much gotten to concluding the planning phase of this and were looking to obtain heavy weaponry – and if not from us, they were going to try to obtain it elsewhere.”

Members of the group were arrested Monday night in Cherry Hill, N.J., as they tried to buy AK-47 and M-16 assault rifles and other weapons from an FBI informant, authorities said.

The men – four born in the former Yugoslavia, one from Jordan and one from Turkey – lived in Philadelphia and its suburbs with their immediate and extended families. Three were roofers, one drove a cab, and the two others worked at food businesses.

The six – Mohamad Ibrahim Shnewer, 22; Dritan Duka, also called Anthony or Tony Duka, 28; Shain Duka, 26; Eljvir “Elvis” Duka, 23; Serdar Tatar, 23; and Agron Abdullahu, 24 – were ordered held without bail. Three were in the United States illegally; two had green cards allowing them to stay in this country permanently; and the sixth is a naturalized U.S. citizen.

Abdullahu was familiar with Fort Dix because it was the first place he landed when arriving in the United States as a refugee from Kosovo, according to a law enforcement officials who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

The United States allowed thousands of refugees into the United States after it intervened in the 1998-99 Kosovo war. Abdullahu arrived at Fort Dix as a teenager in 1999 as part of a group of about 4,400 refugees from Kosovo, officials said….

Authorities said one of the defendants, Tatar, worked at his father’s pizzeria and made deliveries to the base, using the opportunity to scout out Fort Dix for an attack.

In an interview with AP on Wednesday, Tatar’s father, Muslim Tatar, 54, denied that his son had made deliveries to Fort Dix. However, Christie said the younger Tatar spoke of delivering pizzas on the tapes made by informants.
