Jihad Watch

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

Worker at LA’s King Fahad Mosque may have been involved in 9/11 jihad attacks

May 14, 2016 11:48 am By Robert Spencer

“But John Lehman — a former member of that investigative commission — said a classified section of the investigation shows that as many as six Saudi individuals may have played a role in the attacks.” If the full story of Saudi involvement in 9/11 is ever revealed, that revelation is almost certain to change significantly our understanding of 9/11 and its aftermath, and radically challenge the existing international political order, such as it is. Why else would so many people be so intent that this information not be revealed?

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

“Worker at LA-area mosque may be linked to 9/11 attack,” by Rob Hayes, KABC, May 13, 2016 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

LOS ANGELES (KABC) — Could someone who worked at a Los Angeles-area mosque be linked to the deadliest terror attack on U.S. soil? New allegations about the 9/11 attacks are coming from someone close to the classified investigation.

In the three years following the terror attacks the 9/11 Commission found no evidence the Saudi government or high-ranking Saudi officials funded Al Qaeda.

But John Lehman — a former member of that investigative commission — said a classified section of the investigation shows that as many as six Saudi individuals may have played a role in the attacks. One of those people, he said, is a man who worked at Culver City’s King Fahad Mosque.

Mahomed Khan, who handles public relations for the King Fahad Mosque, said if that was the case, the man was clearly not a representative of the mosque.

Clearly!

Khan also questioned the timing of the new concern, pointing out that the 9/11 Commission wrapped up its investigation 12 years ago.

“You wonder, ‘Does this have to do with the election cycle?’ I’m not saying it is or isn’t but why now? Why couldn’t the commissioners deal with it back then?” he said.

But Lehman said the investigation didn’t look hard enough into lower-level Saudi involvement. Former Federal Prosecutor Richard Ben-Veniste agreed[.]

“We would not be so arrogant as to think that we, with our limited time and resources, have investigated every single aspect that there is to look at in the 9/11 disaster,” he said.

Ben-Veniste and Lehman were calling for a new federal probe and the release of 28 pages of classified documents from the original investigation, even though Lehman admitted they contain no smoking gun.

The Saudi government supports releasing those pages as does Khan, but in situations like this, he worries about misguided backlash against Muslims.

“Whenever reports like this come up, we get negative calls, possible hate crimes go up, so that’s the concern because everyone is vulnerable here,” Khan said.

Playing the victim card always helps deflect attention away from unwelcome counter-terror scrutiny, eh, Khan?

    One or two conservatives tried to inform the conservative movement, former President George W. Bush was / is a traitor who covered up Saudi complicity in the September attacks while betraying Israel. No one would listen. Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, etc., these men carried Bush’s lying water.

      The top politicians are lying to the people about Islam and whitewashing the jihad doctrine, so that the profits of the oil companies can continue.

      Instead of drinking this Kool Aid, we should stop using oil as a portable fuel.

        Unlike Donald Trump (I read a Trump biographer; I try to read everything I can get my hands on) I did not not do my due diligence on the Bush family before I voted for George W. Bush in 2000. The Bushes are compromised by lucrative financial dealings with our Saudi enemies; Carlyle Group, Khalid bin Mahfouz, Harken Energy, etc. Google it.

        No one talks about it. No one mentioned it. Now conservatives are furious over what this Muslim-born president is doing to this country.

        But we (Republicans / conservatives) made Barack Obama. We uncritically supported Bush who repeatedly misled the American people about Islam and he betrayed Israel for his Saudi benefactors post 9/11/2001.

          We are being sold out by big oil and their lies are … worthy of Joseph Goebbels, Hitler’s propaganda minister.

        The top politicos in Europe’re all lying about islam, inviting them in, in spite of the islamists’ violent actions – murdering Christians in refugee camps as just one example – can’t be denied. Lie after cover-up lie. To what end?

    Bribery is normative Islam and the sacred Sunna of Mohammed. To give bribes is the last command of Mohammed, therefore bribery of dirty kafirs to betray their own people is the obligation and duty of every Muslim who has means, especially those with vast wealth from oil.

    Quote: Bukhari :: Book 5 :: Volume 59 :: Hadith 716

    Narrated Ibn Abbas:

    Then (Mohammed) ordered them to do three things. He said, “Turn the pagans out of the ‘Arabian Peninsula; respect and give gifts to the foreign delegations as you have seen me dealing with them.” (Said bin Jubair, the sub-narrator said that Ibn Abbas kept quiet as regards the third order, or he said, “I forgot it.”) (See Hadith No. 116 Vol. 1)

      Wrong
      Muslims love to betray their own people.

      1 Nothing is sacred about Islam
      2 kafirs are not dirty — (All Muslims are filth and should be locked up)
      3 The last command of a lying buffoon deserves to be mocked.
      4 Pious Muslims gleefully turn on each other to show off to other Muslims.
      5 All Muslims, the Qur’an and Muhammad are filth.
      6 The only (obligation and duty ) of Muslims is to pillage, murder, and rape little children.

      The Serpent of Satan’s ‘religion’ is a despicable joke.

          There IS something we can do to encourage American-born muslims to leave. We can stop buying from them, period. I will not buy from any store or gas station that I know is muslim-owned. I do this on the basis of the fact that one of the pillars of islam is giving to “charity.” Since I assume those are muslim charities which can be read al-quaeda, ISIS, muslim brotherhood, hezbollah, hamas, etc., and all of them have the goal of exterminating me and my faith, I am not going to let them do so with my money.

          Another example of this is with yarns and textiles. I am a knitter, and many of the yarns in American stores say right on the label that they are made in Turkey. I will be double-d*mned if I will give one cent to Tayyip Erdogan!!! Fortunately, I found a company called KnitPicks.com that sources all of their yarns from Peru. I not only deny funds to Turkey/Erdogan: I get to help impoverished CHRISTIAN people in a third world country. That’s a small thing, but it is one practical answer.

        Unfortunately, there isn’t. The closest you can get is deporting foreign muslims. You’re still stuck with native muslims but the number should prove more manageable.

          Regarding the not buying from them great at last somebody else has posted this, I am constantly going on about this we can just starve them out. If you must employ a muslim or buy from a muslim the deal with women they are victims and it messes up their system to empower women. Support anything muslims hate.

    In the three years following the terror attacks the 9/11 Commission found no evidence the Saudi government or high-ranking Saudi officials funded Al Qaeda.

    And no one bought it, otherwise we wouldn’t be discussing this now.

    The Saudi government supports releasing those pages as does Khan,

    Since *when*?

    “Since when?” Exactly, Angemon. Those duplicitous, pompous, white-washed tombs say they support the release, but probably have already insured that there will not be a full, original, true disclosure.

    My evidence for that? Dot connecting Kafiric opinion. First, a threat to dump US assets; now no threat, but co-operation. What changed? “Behind the scenes diplomacy”, “offers that can’t be refused”, “good cop, bad cop”, “you be my bulldog” ?

    • Rosewood11 says

      May 14, 2016 at 2:51 pm

      From Trunews.com (excellent online podcast): The Saudi’s were threatening to sell ARAMCO to China and use the 2 TRILLION they got for it to buy/take over Apple and Google. Also there is talk of selling all the oil then in the Chinese yuan, thus ending the Petro-dollar. Yes, they’d even screw the Bush family. It’s called “honor among thieves”!!!

    The names of the perpetrators are well-known, but the ABC7 reporter didn’t even mention them. A simple Google search revealed the following:

    In May 2003, the State Department refused reentry to the chief imam of the King Fahd Mosque in Culver City, Fahad al Thumairy, who also was a Saudi diplomat at the consulate in Los Angeles. The Sept. 11 commission report later said the State Department had determined “he might be connected with terrorist activity.” The report also said that two of the Sept. 11 hijackers, Nawaf Alhazmi and Khalid Almihdhar, “spent time at the King Fahd mosque and made some acquaintances there.” Al Thumairy, who reportedly led an “extremist faction” at the mosque, denied knowing the two hijackers. While his denial was “somewhat suspect,” the report said there was no evidence connecting him to the hijackers.
    Last December, the State Department ended the practice of allowing religious scholars and missionaries to work here on Saudi diplomatic passports, forcing at least 24 out.

    Islamic Sharia Law says that Muslims are obligated to lie about an issue if telling the truth would be adverse to Islam or Muslims. (See Reliance of the Traveller, paragraph r8.2) Reporters should never take a Muslim’s statement at face value without double checking his statement. Remember how on December 2, 2015, before the perpetrators of the San Bernardino terror attack were identified by the police, representatives of CAIR and the Islamic Center of Orange Country got on the air on the ABC7 TV channel and insisted that the terror attack had nothing to do with Islam. Later, it turned out that the attack where 14 people were murdered had everything to do with Islam. Muslims are inveterate dissemblers.

  10. A.T. Halmay says

    Societal jihad has gone too far and Islam itself must be outlawed in the free world. All mosques must be confiscated and auctioned off for development to other uses, serving communities or commercial enterprises.

    Backlash against muslims is a given, no matter what is revealed in the report, for the mere fact muslms DO NOT belong in the USA and have not since a 1956 Congressional edict! But – -they came anyway and should now suffer the consequences for their own aggressive stupidity! Right along with the rest of the illegal alien population!

    “…we get negative calls…” Khan said.

    Oh, well then don’t investigate the matter or inform the public about 9/11. Who could bear the inhumanity of our inducing negative calls over such a trivial matter? That Khan doesn’t hesitate in giving this as reason for not releasing the 28 pages is a disturbingly illustrative commentary on the state of [non]discourse and forwardness regarding our hysterical apprehension about speaking the name of that/those which seek(s) to destroy us.

  13. Wakeup says

    May 16, 2016 at 9:22 am

    How about this Mr Trump first be unpredicable if asked would you publish the missing 28 pages of the 9/11 report say you will have to look into that and IF whatever you don’t rule it out. This is a risk the saudis can’t take and they will start dumping the assets before the election probably taking a loss to themselves and not triggering any sudden financial problems for the US. Its got to happen anyway and it might as well happen on obamas watch, nobody will ever know.

    You heard this here first, I think Donald Trump may have caused the massive drop in Chinese stock values simply by saying he would impose a tax on Chinese goods rather like coughing next to a house of cards. They were overvalued already and his comments upset the market, nobody will ever know.
