“Despite his fugitive status and role as a leader for Al Qaeda, Al-Nouri was admitted to the United States in 2008 as a refugee.”
Of course. Because no one involved had the first foggiest idea what al-Qaeda was all about, and wouldn’t have cared if he or she did, because that would have been “Islamophobic.”
“How Did an Al Qaeda Leader in Iraq Become an American Citizen Living in Phoenix?,” by Katie Pavlich, Town Hall, February 14, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
In January the FBI arrested Ali Yousif Ahmed Al-Nouri in Phoenix, Arizona after a warrant was issued for his arrest. Al-Nouri was an Al Qaeda leader in Iraq and was on the run for the murder of Iraqi police officers in Al-Fallujah.
“According to the information provided by the Government of Iraq in support of its extradition request, Ahmed served as the leader of a group of Al-Qaeda terrorists in Al-Fallujah, Iraq, which planned operations targeting Iraqi police. Ahmed and other members of the Al-Qaeda group allegedly shot and killed a first lieutenant in the Fallujah Police Directorate and a police officer in the Fallujah Police Directorate, on or about June 1, 2006, and October 3, 2006, respectively,” the Department of Justice released in a statement.
Despite his fugitive status and role as a leader for Al Qaeda, Al-Nouri was admitted to the United States in 2008 as a refugee. He then went on to become an American citizen. Republican Senators Chuck Grassley and Joni Ernst want to know why.
“Please explain the vetting process through which Ali Yousif Ahmed Al-Nouri received a refugee visa. Was Ahmed Al-Nouri ever subjected to additional screening associated with the refugee visa application? Was Ahmed Al-Nouri vetted through the Visa Security Program and was a Security Advisory Opinion ever requested and/or issued?” Grassley and Ernst wrote in a letter to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo this week. “Did Ahmed Al-Nouri ever apply for any other U.S. visa before being granted a refugee visa? Did Ahmed Al-Nouri apply for visas using any aliases?”
The Senators also want to know when Al-Nouri came to the attention of the FBI, considering he lived in the United States for more than a decade….

POLITICAL CORRECTNESS KILLS
If the entire security community received adequate JIHAD RECOGNITION COURSES, then the country would be safer from mistakes like this one.
Security agents need to recognize (as a minimum) AL WALAA WAL BARAA (hatred directed by Muslims against kafirs), the NEAR-ENEMY DOCTRINE, the JIHAD DOCTRINE, the MISOGYNY DOCTRINE of Islam, the CALIPHATE DOCTRINE, the TAQIYYA DOCTRINE.
Without a clear understanding of those authentic doctrines of Islam security agents will make many unnecessary mistakes in the vetting process.
POLITICAL CORRECTNESS OF THE NAIVE OBAMA AND BUSH PERIODS IS STILL COSTING AMERICAN LIVES and those of American ALLIES as well.
rubiconcrest says
Philip Haney trained himself but as you know his case files were deleted because under Obama and Jeh Johnson etc… jihad is part of Islam. Until jihadists start shooting we don’t know if they really will act on their upbringing.
mortimer says
Agree, Haney is a true intellectual among agents. He investigated the doctrines from the SOURCE TEXTS on the principle of ‘know-your-enemy’.
Jihadists are using jihad ‘virgins’ who have no prior profile to avoid tipping off the intel communities.
The intel communities cannot be effective without thousands of agents like Haney.
Haney should be training them.

100% true…
Our own Robert Spencer could put together a great course for the security community. Also, John Guandolo has some great coursework through his Understanding The Threat UTT series.

The intelligence communities could rehire Robert Spencer undercover. His materials could be rewritten and recirculated. He could teach the trainers and the trainers would teach others.

Our own Robert Spencer could and did provide training for the FBI. Trouble is, his training was not meeting the political correctness standards – which were more important than our national security and public safety. So they are 100% to blame when things go wrong.
James Lincoln says
oldschool,
Understand. I am aware of Robert Spencer’s prior work providing training for the FBI.
Perhaps with Pres. Trump in office, the good Robert Spencer could do a “reboot” of the training…
Walter Sieruk says
This jihadist who is one of the top dogs of al Qaeda who was also a Muslim migrant to the USA and was later discovered to be an extremely dangerous man is still further proof of the reality of the truth in the book by Robert Spencer which his entitled THE COMPLETE INFIDEL’S GUIDE TO THE KORAN. For on page 230 it informs the reader “Immigration. Since there is no completely reliable way to tell any given Muslim believer takes the Koran’s dictates about warfare against Infidels literally, immigration of Muslims into the United States should be halted.”
In addition, on page 232 of the same book read “The willful blindness of Western leaders threatens us all, and the very survival of free societies.” Therefore, First, it should not be forgotten that most of the jihadist al Qaeda operatives who were the 9/11 hijackers and mass murderers came from Saudi Arabia .
gravenimage says
Spot on, Walter.
rubiconcrest says
We know what happened. Religion of peace Bush and see no jihad Obama happened.
Walter Sieruk says
That jihadist top dog , Al -Nouri serves a reminder of another Muslim terrorist, that al Qaeda jihadist who “mastermind” of the September 11, 2001 those jihad mass murder attacks, Khalid Sheik Mohammad , had confidently declared “We will win because Americans don’t realize …we do not need to defeat you militarily; we only need to fight long enough for you to defeat yourself by quitting.” That arrogant boast of by KSM should serve as a reminder that we, as Americans, need to and should stand firm ,with great fortitude, in this War of Idea’s and struggle against the jihadist who are always busy scheming to engage in mad Islamic quest by the means of the stealth jihad and the violent jihad violent . In other words, the jihadists means the conquest for supreme power and control of Islam over the West,, either by hook or by crook.
Therefore ,all good Americans should maintain a strong vigilant fortitude against Islamic strategies , savagely and tyranny. As Thomas Jefferson had, so well, explained “Fortitude…teaches us to meet and surmount difficulties; not to fly from them.”
Furthermore, there are still other jihadist chiefs around as on the loose ,as KSM, who are engaged in Islamic scheming to have their jihadist /stooges future Islamic terrorist attack against Americans and America.. Therefore , we ,as Americans , should not live in fear or be afraid to go to difference place and do different things ,yet even though we should feel no fear we should keep aware of our surrounding and be alert for anything that seems not to look quite right. As in “What’s wrong with this picture?” Then if something questionable is seen then it’s important to go and tell the right person about it. As example, In NY.NY a tee-shirt vendor saw some smoke come out of a parked van and so he went and informed as police officer about it. As it has been said “If you see something, say something.” To put this in another way, the wise words of Thomas Jefferson apply more now more than those words of wisdom did in his own time. For Mr. Jefferson declared “Let the eye of vigilance never be closed.”

Proving again that ignorance of Islam is far worse than Islam itself. If America and every Western nation knew Islam for its true worth so much of the rot, maiming, death, expense, etc. that the West has had to experience and endure would not have occurred in the first place.
Ignorance of evil is quite lethal. It is also very expensive. Damn stupid too.
Conclusion: Wake the eff up, West. Islam is here to destroy you.
And for ALL Muslims I say to you this: I hate your religion, your Allah, your Koran, your deviant founder, et al.
Even the so-called moderates among you (who would be more accurately described as “lazy Muslims”) are all part of a belief system which is sick to its core. A world without Islam would still have many problems but a world without Islam would nevertheless still be a much better world to inhabit.

mortimer says
Guys like that should go straight to Guantanamo.
James Lincoln says
Absolutely, mortimer. A one-way ticket to Gitmo.
Slightly off-topic, but relevant…
I know a female Navy Captain RN who completed a one-year set of military orders to Gitmo. She was tasked with supervising all nursing care for the prisoners.
She told me that the prisoners were the most dangerous, vile, obnoxious, and arrogant humans that she had ever encountered. They would attempt to spit and throw urine and feces at the caregivers. And, of course, they resented any orders / discipline – especially from female military members.
And did they ever love their Koran – and their five daily prayers.
She emphatically stated that they were beyond any kind of rehabilitation – totally lost causes.
Wellington says
James: As the lawyer I am (and I strongly suspect your lawyer brother would agree with me here), there is a small percentage of mankind (usually male) that are indeed beyond any possibility of rehabilitation.
Islam produces such people in droves—far beyond its numbers. This particular intransigency has been a “special feature” of Islam from its reputed warped founder in the seventh century to this very day. Yes indeed, another “achievement” of Islam.
So, thanks for that narration, James. And I extend extra thanks to the female you referenced because she must have endured so much that no one should, especially females (which last sentiment only reveals what a hopeless anachronism and romantic I am—though I prefer being a hopeless anachronism and romantic considering what has replaced my take on existence).
Hope all is well with you and family. So long for now.
gravenimage says
Thanks for that account, James–it does not surprise. I imagine they were even more vile to your friend since she’s female.
Donovan Nuera says
During WWII when we captured German POWs and interned them in UK or in the heartland of the USA for the duration, I don’t remember our Government bending over backwards to make sure they all had copies of ‘Mein Kampf’ or be allowed transcripts or newsreels of Hitler’s speeches or listen to Lord Haw-Haw on the radio. Not to mention getting our panties in a twist if they were not served authentic German food. Does any remember FDR, Truman, or Gen. Marshall making any apologies to being Naziphobic?
Nope.
Again, who are we afraid of “offending” if we do the neutralization/pacification of the fiends at GITMO? Liberal college professors…who would hit the deck if a student yelled allahu akbar in lecture? Liberal theologians of the Church of Kumbaya…who have not read the koran or the contemporary accounts of famed Christian leaders of what muslims had been doing to Christians since 630 AD? Stupid liberal womyn who are enthralled about fabrics covering their heads…… who are supporting those whose theology embodies every fear they ever falsely projected onto conservative Christians they accused of “setting up a theocracy!”?
Maybe someone should mail this article to that sanctimonious know-nothing-at-all WA State judge who, when blocking Pres. Trump’s ban of immigrants from the original set of terror states, had flippantly decided HIMSELF that there have been NO terror threats by immigrants from those countries (rather than 74 documented convictions…..which the inept Government lawyer SHOULD have had at his fingertips to quickly correct the judge in smackdown style).
It should be to our Government’s everlasting shame that the GITMO trials are only now starting this year after KSM and his ugloid troglodytes have been living in luxury since 2005 due to goody-2-shoe lefty lawyers who just want to build street cred for future anti-American posts in the DOJ for later. I think with the next hurricane season coming up in a few months, we should let the prisoners have a “Swim day” in the Bay after being dropped off 1 mile out just as the storm surge hits.

somehistory says
He was allowed in because…he lied…and his lies were approved because the presidents, including the fake pres, wanted everyone to believe that islam is just dandy, like sweet cotton candy. By the time he was admitted… in 2008…many were braindirtied into believing that moslims were innocent victims and needed mercy and help to “escape” the war.
Who had the nerve to question him about his past activities? Who had the nerve to accuse him of lying?
Will he be stripped of his “citizenship” and sent away?
If “uglying away” was possible, he would.
somehistory says
In my opinion, many who comment here could teach lessons on moslim terrorism and recognizing a lying moslim when they see one, sit across from one, read an application for entrance written by one, etc.

“The Ikhwan ie(muslim brotherhood) must understand that their work in America is a civilization jihadist process (mass migration) with all the word means…..to eliminate and destroy…. western (U.S. democracy) from within by their hands and the hands of the believers…..this is part of the MB creed. The suited jihadist. Since 9/11 I am still shocked by the blind response to this invasion into our country, while the citizens who are informed are screaming shut the border! While Pelosi and crew wiggle their fingers and cry if 1cent is spent on the wall, while spending millons of tax payers money on a revenge impeachment, searching for a crime, for a lost election. So in every state they can build mosques, store weapons, prepare to battle Americans act peaceful and live in Arizona or Wi or Illinois or California, Minnesota, . or Texas or Iowa etc. and work a job while we wait to be saved. I am outraged by our stupidity and it is no wonder under Pres. Trump this is happening finally to find these terrorists he has acknowledged, hopefully not too late.
Happy President Day…President Trump.

This is part of the BIGGEST con job being perpetrated on Western Countries. Calling Muslims “refugees” & “political Asylum Seekers.” There are plenty of Muslim countries nearby where they can go. & “Asylum Seekers”…. from what? Islam? They WANT to import this dingbat Death Cult & make us follow it or be enslaved/subjugated. FFS, WAKE UP!!
maemae77 says
That’s what happens when you have a Muslim President Obama. They will always do for their own over others.
OLD GUY says
Muslims will never become part of the western society. If they are truly refugees there are plenty of Muslim countries that they can go too. They come to America to either take advantage of our welfare system or to support their ideology. If we are to continue admitting muslims are immigration agents need to be able to sort out the bad apples. There are plenty of useful people who want to become part of our system and become Americans, so why do we need Muslims freeloaders and terrorist?
