MSNBC’s Lobotomized Liberal Martin Bashir: Suspected Boston Bombers Hurt ‘Peace-Loving Religion’ Of Islam

04/23/2013 1 comment

The Qur’an itself is what hurts Islam and people like the Tsarnaev brothers are simply taking it seriously. Judging from Martin Bashir’s comment, however, either he has developed some strange new supernatural ability to [mis]understand Islam without reading a single page of its so-called “holy” book, or he’s outright lying. So, yes, let’s Clear the Air. Although there are peaceful and compassionate Muslims, Mr. Bashir, they are not peaceful and compassionate because of Islam. They are peaceful and compassionate in spite of it …

Al Bukhari Hadith 2977, “I have been made victorious with terror.” – Words of the “Prophet” Mohammed

Qur’an Sura 33:21, “Indeed in Allah’s Messenger (Mohammad) you have an excellent example to follow for him who hopes in (meeting with) Allah and the Last Day…”

Qur’an Sura 8:55, “Surely the vilest of animals in Allah’s sight are those who disbelieve [non-Muslims] …”

Qur’an Sura 48:29, “Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. And those with him [Muslims] are hard against the disbelievers [non-Muslims] …”

Qur’an Sura 9:123, “O ye who believe [Muslims]! Fight those of the disbelievers [non-Muslims] who are near to you, and let them find harshness in you …”

Qur’an Sura 8:39, “And fight them until there is no more fitna [disorder, unbelief], and religion is all for Allah …”

By Robert Spencer, Jihad Watch – “This is what the American people are getting fed. ‘Bashir: Suspected Boston Bombers Hurt ‘Peace-Loving Religion’ Of Islam,’ from Real Clear Politics, April 22:

MSNBC’s Martin Bashir explains how suspected Boston Marathon bombers, the Tsarnaev brothers, are the just the latest to use terror in the name of Islam – burying the ‘peace, compassion and kindness of the Koran.’

Here’s a small sampling of that peace, compassion and kindness:

‘And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter…’ — 2:191

‘They long that ye should disbelieve even as they disbelieve, that ye may be upon a level (with them). So choose not friends from them till they forsake their homes in the way of Allah; if they turn back (to enmity) then take them and kill them wherever ye find them, and choose no friend nor helper from among them…’ — 4:89

‘Many are the Jinns and men we have made for Hell: They have hearts wherewith they understand not, eyes wherewith they see not, and ears wherewith they hear not. They are like cattle – nay more misguided: for they are heedless (of warning).’ — 7:179

‘Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies, of Allah and your enemies…’ — 8:60

‘Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush Read more…

France: Muslim Man Attacks, Stabs Rabbi And His Son In Paris

04/23/2013 2 comments

For peaceful purposes …

By Gil Ronen, INN – “A rabbi and his son were attacked Tuesday in the Jewish quarter of Paris, according to Le Monde. The attacker is an Iranian who had escaped from a mental health hospital.

The two were reportedly wounded in the neck, after apparently being stabbed with a knife. Their condition was not clear, according to the report.

Eyewitnesses reportedly overpowered the assailant and held on to him until the authorities arrived on the scene.

Police said the attacker is a resident of Tehran and does not have a criminal record.” Source – INN.

Flashback: Imams’ Indoctrinating French Muslims With Culture Of Hate, Racism – “… French Jewish artist Ron Agam told the Algemeiner that, ‘It is about time now for the French authorities to radically search for these Imams and put a stop to the brainwashing on tens of thousands of Muslim kids in France.’ ‘It is unacceptable that this culture of racism and antisemitism is being tolerated by a significant number of the Muslim community, this culture must stop,’ he concluded.” Read more.

Flashback: The Islamization Of France In 2012 – “Opinion surveys show that to voters in France — home to an estimated 6.5 million Muslims, the largest Muslim population in the European Union — Islam and the question of Muslim immigration have emerged in 2012 as a top-ranked public concern… The promotion of Islamic extremist ideologies — particularly Wahhabism, which not only discourages Muslim integration in the West, but actively encourages jihad against non-Muslims — threatens to further radicalize Muslim immigrants in France… In May, Muslims determined the outcome of the French presidential elections. An analysis of the voting patterns that barreled François Hollande to victory on May 6 as the first Socialist president of France since 1995 showed this was due in large measure to Muslims, who voted for him in overwhelming numbers.” Read more.

Flashback: Au Revoir: Islam Set to Become Dominant Religion in France – “New research suggests there are now more practising Muslims in France than practising Catholics. While 64 percent of French people describe themselves as Roman Catholic, only 2.9 percent of the population actually practice the Catholic faith. That compares to 3.8 percent of the population who practice the Muslim faith. The research was carried out by the French Institute of Public Opinion on behalf of the Catholic newspaper La Croix… There is also further evidence that mosques are being erected at a much faster rate than Catholic churches. Mohammed Moussaoui, President of the Muslim Council of France, last month estimated that 150 new mosques are currently under construction across the country.” Read more.

Dead Boston Terrorist Was A Suspect In Grisly 2011 Triple Murder Of His American “Best Friend” And Two Jews

04/23/2013 1 comment

And the murders apparently took place on the 10th anniversary of 9/11. One of the victims, 25-year-old Brendan Mess, was an American and was, according to Tamerlan Tsarnaev himself, his “best friend.” As we now all know, Tsarnaev claimed to have “no American friends” because he “didn’t understand them.” Did Mess say or do something that offended Tsarnaev? Did his “best friend” also being friends with two Jews cause Tsarnaev to snap? …

Qur’an Sura 5:51, “O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them …”

Hadith, Tabari 7:97, “The morning after the murder of Ashraf, the Prophet [Mohammed] declared, ‘Kill any Jew who falls under your power.’”

By Gil Ronen, INN – “Investigators in the Boston suburbs told ABC News that Tamerlan Tsarnaev – the elder Boston Marathon bomber, who was killed in a firefight with police – may have been involved in an unsolved grisly triple homicide of a former roommate and two others.

The murders took place around September 11, 2011, the tenth anniversary of the September 11 combined strategic terror attack on the United States.

‘We are looking at a possible connection with the suspect in the marathon atrocity and this active and open homicide in Waltham,’ Stephanie Guyotte, a spokeswoman for the Middlesex County District Attorney, confirmed to ABC News.

The victims were found in a Waltham, Massachusetts apartment. Their throats had been slashed. The investigation has been active for more than a year, and authorities acknowledged they have had few leads.

Tsarnaev had been close to one of the murder victims, 25-year-old Brendan Mess, investigators told ABC. The two had been training together in a local gym. It was unclear if Tsarnaev knew the other men who were slain, Raphael Teken, 37, and Erik Weissman, 31 – both reportedly Jewish.” Source – INN.

A Sinister Link? Those Who Knew Bombing Suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev Question Involvement in Triple Homicide – “Has he killed before? Given the tarnished reputation of dead terror suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev, his former acquaintances are questioning whether there’s a more sinister link between him and a grisly triple homicide two years ago involving one of his close friends. The unsolved case continues to stump investigators in the Boston suburb of Waltham, where Tsarnaev’s friend, 25-year-old Brendan Mess, was found murdered Sept. 12, 2011, in his apartment.” Read more.

Canada: Islamic Terrorists Planned To Kill As Many As Possible, ‘It Was Meant To Be Spectacular And There Would Have Been A Lot Of Carnage’

04/22/2013 Leave a comment

“I have been made victorious with terror” – The ‘Prophet’ Of Islam, Mohammed (Al Bukhari Hadith 2977)

Qur’an Sura 33:21, “Indeed in Allah’s Messenger (Mohammad) you have an excellent example to follow for him who hopes in (meeting with) Allah and the Last Day…”

By Robert Spencer, Jihad Watch – “These noble warriors of Islam hoped to sow even more death and destruction than they have already sown. Meanwhile, Muslim communities in the U.S. and Canada say they condemn such jihad activities, yet have nary a single program to teach against this understanding of Islam that they ostensibly reject and abhor. Authorities don’t seem to mind, and after jihad attacks or jihad plots like this one rush to prevent a never-appearing ‘backlash’ rather than call these Muslim communities to account. And so we will see many more such jihad plots.

It was meant to be spectacular and there would have been a lot of carnage.’

‘Canada thwarts plot to blow up U.S.-Canada rail line,’ by Euan Rocha for Reuters, April 22:

(Reuters) – Canadian security forces thwarted a plot to blow up a rail line between Canada and the United States and will announce arrests on Monday afternoon, police and intelligence agencies said.U.S. security and law enforcement sources also said the suspects had sought to attack the railroad between Toronto and New York City. Canadian media said two men had been arrested after raids in Toronto and Montreal, Canada’s two biggest cities.

Canadian police are holding a briefing about a “national security criminal investigation” at 3:30 p.m. ET (1930 GMT).

The police statement, which gave no details of arrests, said various Canadian security forces had conducted joint operations in the two cities.

A U.S. law enforcement source told Reuters the alleged plot was not linked with last week’s Boston Marathon bombings….

Why Do So Many Muslims Embrace Religious And Ideological Warfare?

04/22/2013 Leave a comment

DominateWorldBy Victor Sharpe, American Thinker – “Mahatma Gandhi is quoted in his book, Gandhi: The Power of Pacifism, by Catherine Clement, as follows:

While Hindus, Sikhs, Christians, Parsees and Jews, along with several million adherents of an animistic religion, all coexisted in relative harmony, one religion that would not accept compromise stood out from the rest: Islam.

Gandhi was referring to the experience during his lifetime in the Indian sub-continent, but the growth of Wahhabism and the current resurgence in Islamic triumphalism since Gandhi’s death in January 1948 now poses an increasingly existential threat to the West, to Judeo-Christian civilization, as well as to Hindus, Buddhists, and members other faiths.

The question repeatedly posed by the talking heads on the TV networks and cable television is how and why so many Muslims, young and old, are living in the West and enjoying all the material and educational benefits bestowed upon them — and also committing hideous acts of terror and perpetrating atrocities upon innocent civilians, even against their very own neighbors.

The Times Square bombing attempt on May 1, 2010 by Pakistan-born Faisal Shahzad and the 2009 Fort Hood massacre of unarmed members of the military by Major Nidal Hasan (still described by the problematic U.S. administration as ‘workplace violence’) are well-known.  So too is the attempt at terrorism by a Somali immigrant, Mohamed Osman Mohamud, who had come to America at the age of five with his family as a refugee from the hell that is Somalia, and who attempted to kill thousands during a Christmas tree-lighting ceremony in Portland, Oregon.  But until the Chechen Muslim brothers succeeded in their massacre at the Boston Marathon, most terror attacks had been thwarted since the 9/11 destruction of the Twin Towers and part of the Pentagon by the 19 Saudi Arabian hijackers, in which 3,000 people were murdered.  This time, however, the Muslim miscreants succeeded.

It was the baleful President Carter who undercut the shah of Iran, an autocrat who jailed and restricted the jihadists and Islamic groups but who was nevertheless a supporter and ally of America.  Just like President Obama, who equally undercut Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, the subsequent void was quickly and gleefully filled by Islamic fundamentalists and the Muslim Brotherhood who imposed sharia law and raised the banner of Islamic supremacy.

With the shah’s fall came the Ayatollah Khomeini from his exile in France, and almost immediately Carter’s foolish act resulted in a seemingly endless and most definitely humiliating imprisonment of American Embassy staff in Tehran.  Since then Iran has fed the flames of Islamic terror around the globe, arming, and funding terror organizations such as Hamas and Hezb’allah.  Ayatollah Khomeini preached violence to ultimately conquer ‘the land of the infidel.’  By that he meant Israel, Christian European states and Britain, the United States, and the entire non-Muslim world.  His followers throughout the Muslim and Arab world have all endorsed the legitimacy of jihad against what they call the ‘enemies of Islam.’  Islamic martyrdom operations — specifically blowing up soft targets like the spectators at sporting events — are guarantees to paradise even if the victims are children.

So the answer to those talking heads in the media who endlessly ask why so many Muslims commit such atrocities can be seen both in Koranic passages and in, for instance, the sickening hate indoctrination found in the government-controlled Palestinian TV and radio broadcasts.

Here are some of the grisly passages from the Koran Read more…

Large Scale: ‘Major Terrorist’ Plot Targeting New York And Canada Broken Up By Canadian And U.S. Authorities

04/22/2013 Leave a comment

Update: Today’s arrests were made following a multi-agency investigation involving the RCMP, CSIS, FBI, CBSA, OPP as well as local police in Ontario and Quebec. Authorities say Chiheb Esseghaier, 30, and Raed Jaser, 35 were plotting a large-scale al-Qaeda linked/inspired terror attack against a popular VIA passenger rail route between Toronto and New York City. Of course, such a route was not chosen because it serviced the fewest number of travelers, but rather because of the highest number of travelers they’d potentially kill for the glory of Allah …

By Greg Weston, CBC News – “Canadian police and intelligence agencies say they have arrested two men and thwarted a plot to carry out a major terrorist attack on a Via passenger train.

The two accused are Chiheb Esseghaier and Raed Jaser. They have been charged with conspiracy to carry out a terrorist attack and ‘conspiring to murder persons unknown for the benefit of, at the direction of, or in association with a terrorist group.’

In a statement, RCMP said while they believe the individuals accused had the ‘capacity and intent’ to carry out an attack, they believed there was ‘no imminent threat’ to the public, rail employees, train passengers or infrastructure.

The two men are expected to appear in court tomorrow.

Highly placed sources tell CBC News the alleged plotters have been under surveillance for more than a year in Quebec and southern Ontario.

The investigation was part of a cross-border operation involving Canadian law enforcement agencies, the FBI and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

According to a Reuters report, U.S. law enforcement and national security sources said the alleged plot targeted a railroad between Toronto and New York City.

The arrests Monday morning were co-ordinated and executed by a special joint task force of RCMP and CSIS anti-terrorism units, combined with provincial and municipal police forces in Ontario and Quebec…

Law enforcement officials say the terror suspects arrested today have no connection to the two brothers accused of last week’s Boston Marathon bombings.

They also say there is no tie to the former London, Ont., high school friends who joined al-Qaeda and died earlier this year while helping to stage a bloody attack on an Algerian gas refinery.

Sources say the alleged plot disrupted by Monday’s arrests was potentially more dangerous than the bombings and hostage-takings planned by the so-called Toronto 18.” Read more.

Update: Authorities Thwart Islamic Terror Plot in Canada to Attack Railroad Between Toronto and NYC – “Authorities have reportedly prevented an al-Qaeda-supported terrorist attack that aimed to disrupt a major North American transportation route.

Islamist Ultimatum To Syrian Christians: Convert, Leave, Or Die

04/22/2013 Leave a comment

AINA – “Syria’s Christians fear an Islamist takeover should the current government be overthrown. During the ongoing civil war there has been a well-documented rise in the number of salafi-jihadist groups operating in Syria that pose a direct threat to Syria’s Christian community.1 These militant opposition forces espouse an Islamist ideology, which incorporates elements of Wahhabism2 and Salafism3 and whose stated goals and objectives are by definition hostile towards Christians. Firsthand accounts from Syrian Christian refugees in Lebanon reported by award winning investigative journalist Nuri Kino detail the horror in which they described kidnappings, rapes, harassment, theft and other violent reprisals at the hands of Islamist groups.

Those who survived reported ‘just being Christian is enough to be a target,’4 disproving theories that violence and kidnapping directed towards Syrian Christians is purely incidental or for economic reasons. One individual openly declared ‘We’re not poor. We didn’t run from poverty […] we ran from fear.’5

There are several dozens of armed Salafi-jihadist groups both foreign and domestic currently operating in Syria that explicitly advocate Islamist agendas and possess the intentions and capabilities to commit violent persecution towards Syria’s Christians. Most notably from the global Sunni jihadist milieu is al-Jabhat al-Nusra lil-Ahl al-Sham min Mujahedin al-Sham fi Sahat al-Jihad (The Front for Supporting the People of Greater Syria by the Mujahedin of Syria on the Battlefields of Jihad) A.K.A. Jabhat al-Nusra, which in December 2012 the U.S. government officially listed as a terrorist organization.6 Also, on April 9 of this year the leader of Tanzim Qai’dat al-Jihad fi Bilad al-Rafidayn (Organization of Jihad’s Base in Mesopotamia) A.K.A. al-Qaeda in Iraq released an audio announcement that officially declared the unification of al-Qaeda in Iraq and Jabhat al-Nusra including the establishment of an Islamic State in Syria and Iraq, effectively expanding the threat to Syria’s Christians.7 The other notable militant Islamist group is al-Jabhat al-Islamiya al-Suriya (Syrian Islamic Front), a large armed coalition force comprised of several interdependent blocs and alliances organized throughout Syria.8 Even the relatively less hardline al-Jaysh al-Suri al-Hurr (Free Syrian Army) and al-Majlis al-Watani al-Suri (Syrian National Council) are by no means monolithic entities, rather both exist as umbrella organizations comprised of several independent and competing ideological currents and sub-currents including Islamism.

Indeed, regardless of the means employed whether violent or non-violent to achieve the stated goals and objectives of these Islamist movements, the future is unfortunately no less hostile towards Christians. Within an Islamic State governed by Shari’a (Islamic Law), Jews and Christians, known colloquially as ahl al-Kitaab (People of the Book), are afforded a certain protected status called dhimmi, but only if they willingly submit to a tribute or coercive tax known as jizya.9 Based on Islamist interpretation, which is strictly literal and employs the ‘doctrine of abrogation’ promulgated by the 13th century Islamic scholar Ibn Taymiyyah,10 the later and more belligerent suras (chapters) of the Qur’an take precedence over the earlier and more tolerant suras.11 As a result, the salafi-jihadists frequently reference Sura al-Tawba (The Repentance) otherwise known as Sura al-Bara’a (The Ultimatum), which is the 9th chapter of the Qur’an, to justify their violent actions. Numerous internationally recognized translations of Verse 29 of Sura al-Tawba explicitly state,

Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.12

Ultimately, Syria’s Christians as well as Jews will be forced to suffer persecution at the hands of Islamists unless they convert to Islam, submit to Shari’a and pay the jizya, emigrate or die.” Read more.

Saudi National Questioned In Boston Was On Terror Watch List

04/22/2013 Leave a comment

By Todd Starnes, Fox News – “The Saudi national who was initially detained and then ruled out as a suspect in the Boston Marathon terrorist attack had been flagged on a terror watch list and was granted a student visa without being properly vetted, sources have told me.

A source close to the investigation revealed that Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi had been deemed inadmissible under the section of the Immigration and Nationality Act which declares ineligible for a visa – any alien who is engaged in or is likely to engage after entry – in terrorist activity.

At least two additional sources have confirmed to me that Ali Alharbi is set to be deported as early as this week, contrary to statements made by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.

The House Homeland Security Committee is now requesting a classified briefing with Napolitano to get to the bottom of the issue, according to an exclusive report from The Blaze.

Napolitano denied anyone was being deported in a heated exchange Thursday with Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-SC) during a House hearing.

‘I am unaware of anyone who is being deported for national security concerns at all related to Boston,’ she said. ‘I don’t know where that rumor came from.’

The Homeland Security chief said the Saudi national was not ‘technically a person of interest or a suspect, that was a wash.’

But Duncan questioned the wisdom of deporting someone who was at the scene of a terrorist attack.

‘Wouldn’t you agree with me that it is negligent for us, as an American administration, to deport someone who was reportedly at the scene of the bombing, and we are going to deport him, not to be able to question him anymore, is that not negligent,’ Duncan asked.

Napolitano refused to answer the question.

‘It is so full of misstatements and misapprehensions, that it is just not worthy of any answer,’ she replied. ‘There has been so much reported on this that has been wrong. I can’t even begin to tell you, congressman.’

Last week Steven Emerson, of the Investigative Project on Terrorism, told Fox News Channel’s Sean Hannity that Alharbi had been set to be deported ‘on national security grounds.’

‘You don’t arrest their citizens – you deport them,’ Emerson said regarding the Saudis.” Read more.

Source: Saudi National’s Deportation Record Was Altered – “Breitbart News has learned that the Saudi National questioned after the Boston Marathon Bombing had his deportation order records altered, rescinding his deportation order. The alteration occurred the night before Secretary Napolitano vehemently denied the existence of any deportation order in testimony before the House of Representatives. Sources with knowledge of these matters says the change occurred subsequent to Secretary John Kerry’s closed door meeting on Tuesday with the Saudi Minister and around the time of the meeting between the Saudi Minister and Obama later on Wednesday evening.” Read more.

‘Not Acting Alone’: 1000-Man Strong FBI Team Hunting Down Large Islamic ‘Sleeper Cell’ Linked To Boston Bombers

04/21/2013 1 comment

By Christopher Bucktin and Andy Lines, Mirror News – “The FBI was last night hunting a 12-strong terrorist “sleeper cell” linked to the Boston marathon bomb brothers.

Police believe Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev were specially trained to carry out the devastating attack.

More than 1,000 FBI operatives were last night working to track down the cell and arrested a man and two women 60 miles from Boston in the hours before Dzhokhar’s dramatic capture after a bloody shootout on Friday.

A source close to the investigation said: ‘We have no doubt the brothers were not acting alone. The devices used to detonate the two bombs were highly sophisticated and not the kind of thing people learn from Google.

‘They were too advanced. Someone gave the brothers the skills and it is now our job to find out just who they were. Agents think the sleeper cell has up to a dozen members and has been waiting several years for their day to come.’ …

Neighbours of the family said older brother Tamerlan had recently become obsessed with Islam. He mysteriously left the US in January last year to spend six months in Russia. Yesterday senior FBI counter-terrorism official Kevin Brock said: ‘It’s a key thread for investigators.’

It also emerged the Bureau interviewed Tamerlan two years ago, at the request of the Russian government, but could not establish that he had ties to terrorist radicals.

This was despite his worrying Russian-language YouTube page featuring links to extremist Islamic sites and others since taken down by YouTube.

One link showed an hour-long speech by an Islamic teacher called Shaykh Feiz Mohammed, while other videos are labled ‘Terrorists’ and ‘Islam’.

The radical cleric, with links to extremist British Muslims, encouraged his followers to become martyrs for Islam. He said: ‘Teach them this: There is nothing more beloved to me than wanting to die as a mujahid.'” Read more.

Flashback: Islamist Sleeper Cells Are In The USA And Canada – “There is every reason to suspect that we will endure suicide missions by Islamist sleeper cells. They are already in place. They are waiting for the right time. I know this from experience. I have worked over 15 years as a U.S. Federal Agent, a U.S. State Department Arabic linguist, and the first civilian Federal Agent deployed into Iraq at the start of Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003… Upon returning from Iraq I left Federal Service to pursue a career educating U.S. law enforcement in the U.S. I wrote a book titled ‘Arabic for law enforcement and military’. During my lectures to local, county, and state law enforcement officers it was revealed the true first line defenders in the U.S. are not trained nor prepared to combat terrorism in the U.S.” Read more.

Delirious: Former NBC News Anchor Tom Brokaw Suggests America Partly To Blame For Terror Bombings In Boston

04/21/2013 1 comment

If Tom Brokaw simply took the time to open a Qur’an or read a few Hadiths, then he wouldn’t be nearly as dazed and confused as he apparently is. In the muddled mind of the former NBC News anchor, the use of drones in places like Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iraq is creating a generation of young Muslim terrorists. I guess all those imaginary American missles raining down on Chechnya convinced the Tsarnaev brothers it was time to defend Grozny from the evil Bostonians. If you’re serious about working “a lot harder to understand” what motivates this Beast, Tom, you’ll have to first stop trying to read the signs of the times with eyes that are closed to the truth

Qur’an Sura 5:51a, “O you [Muslims] who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other …

Qur’an Sura 8:12b, “… terrorize and behead those who believe in scriptures other than the Qur’an.”

Qur’an Sura 8:39, “And fight with them until there is no more fitna [disorder, unbelief] and religion should be only for Allah”

WND – “Former NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw strongly suggested Sunday that America is partly to blame for the gruesome terrorists attacks in Boston, because the young, Muslim men involved may have felt ‘alienated’ and angry over U.S. drone strikes on ‘innocent civilians’ in Muslim countries abroad.

Brokaw, who has been playing the role of media elder statesman since retiring, went on NBC’s ‘Meet the Press’ with host David Gregory to discuss last week’s Boston bombings, which killed three and injured 183.

‘There are a couple of things to remember here, David, I think for all of us,’ Brokaw intoned. ‘With the death of Osama bin Laden, Islamic rage did not go away. In fact, in some ways it’s more dangerous. This is a perfect example.’

He said Americans need to take a hard look at ‘the roots’ of why so many Muslims, including Americanized terrorists like the Tsarnaev brothers in Boston, want to kill them.

‘There’s a lot that we still need to know about what motivated them, obviously,’ Brokaw said, noting the Muslim faith of both bombers. ‘And the fact is that that Islamic rage is still out there.’

Added Brokaw: ‘But I think that there’s something else that goes beyond the event that we’ve all been riveted by in the last week. We have to work a lot harder (to understand) a motivation here.

‘What prompts a young man to come to this country and still feel alienated from it, to go back to Russia and do whatever he did? And I don’t think we’ve examined that enough,’ he added. ‘I mean, there was 24/7 coverage on television, a lot of newspaper print and so on, but we have got to look at the roots of all of this, because it exists across the whole subcontinent and the Islamic world around the world.’

Finally Brokaw offered an explanation: ‘I think we also have to examine the use of drones that the United States is involved (in), and there are a lot of civilians who are innocently killed in a drone attack in Pakistan, in Afghanistan and in Iraq.

‘And I can tell you having spent a lot of time over there, young people will Read more…

Chicago Man Arrested On Terrorism-Related Charges After Seeking To Join Islamist Rebel Group Fighting Assad

04/21/2013 Leave a comment

It’s okay for the government to double its aid to the Syrian rebels, but if you try to help some of them yourself you’ll get charged with terrorism-related charges …

Fox News – “A suburban Chicago teenager has been arrested on terrorism-related charges and accused of seeking to join an Al Qaeda-affiliated group in war-torn Syria, the FBI announced Saturday.

Abdella Ahmad Tounisi was arrested Friday night as he attempted to board a flight from Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport to Turkey, which borders Syria, the FBI said. He hoped to join Jabhat al-Nusrah, a group fighting Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime in a bloody civil war.

There are no links between Tounisi and the Boston Marathon bombings earlier in the week, the head of the FBI office in Chicago, Cory B. Nelson, said in a statement announcing the arrest.

Tounisi, a U.S. citizen, was snared in an Internet sting after contacting a sham website set up by the FBI that purported to hook up would-be fighters with terrorists, the federal complaint says.

The 18-year-old Aurora man was surprisingly frank about his lack of fighting experience.

‘Concerning my fighting skills, to be honest, I do not have any,’ he allegedly wrote in one email written this year, according to the complaint. ‘I’m very small … physically but I pray to Allah that he makes me successful.’

At the top of the website were the words, ‘A Call for Jihad in Syria,’ and the site invited interested parties to ‘come and join your lion brothers … who are fighting under the true banner of Islam.’ Elsewhere, the site advised users on how to conceal their Internet tracks, the complaint says.” Read more.
