Rocky Mountain Jihadi: A 'handful' of associates under surveillance.

So what are they waiting for already?

A "handful" of men in New York are possible associates of the chief suspect in a suspected plot to use homemade bombs to attack New York City commuter trains, and investigators have them under heavy surveillance, law enforcement officials said Wednesday.

Investigators say they are hunting for "additional players" - yadda yadda yadda.

Authorities have said three unnamed people traveled from New York City to suburban Denver over the summer and used stolen credit cards to help Zazi buy products containing hydrogen peroxide and acetone — common ingredients for homemade bombs. The three returned to New York at some point but haven't been accounted for publicly, nor have the "others" who court papers say joined Zazi on a trip to Pakistan last year. 

<---Fellow Coffee Carter and Associate:  Naiz Khan.  (May I just say that I really want to snatch that dam& cap off his head.)

ABC News is also reporting that one of Zazi's so called associates  and fellow coffee carter (former coffee carter per CNN) Naiz Khan is under 24 hour surveillance.  He denies being a terrorist.  The fact that Zazi crashed at his crib when he was in NYC?  Mere happenstance.   He barely knew him.  That scale?  They said they found it in my apartment, but I've never seen it before.  Honest.   And those 10  (CNN reporting 9) backpacks?  They were his Uncle Mohammed's - he had gotten them free from a wholesaler and was going to give them to relatives in Pakistan...really.   (And I bet he was going to fill them with school supplies as zakat, too.  /s   Give me air, here.)

Just so you know, Mr.  Khan is cooperating "100 percent".  (If he's innocent he should go free, if he's guilty?  He should fry.   It's that simple.)

And I don't care what they're trying to spin at the FBI and the NYPD.  Somebody queered the investigation and that's why there are still all these 'loose ends'.

Yemen: ANOTHER former Gitmo detainee killed on the battlefield.

But, but, but... he promised “he would not participate in another Jihad if he was released”!

Guess what?  He freaking lied.  That's what the al Qaeda training manual instructs them to do!  Hell, that's what their religion tells them to do!  Wise up, man!!!!

(and I'm talking to you and you and you here.)

<--  Looks like terrorist liar Fahd Saleh Suleiman al Jutayli won't be down for breakfast in the morning.

Long War Journal reports:

"A former Guantanamo detainee has reportedly been killed in a shootout between the Yemeni Army and Houthi rebels in northern Yemen. The former detainee, Fahd Saleh Suleiman al Jutayli, was captured in Pakistan after fleeing the Tora Bora Mountains in 2001. He was repatriated to his native Saudi Arabia in May 2006.

According to the Yemen Post, two other former Gitmo detainees - Yusuf al Shehri and Othman al Ghamdi – called their families to tell them Jutayli had been killed in the fighting and asked them to inform Jutayli’s family.

Earlier this year, the Saudi government included all three of these former Guantanamo detainees – Jutayli, Shehri, and Ghamdi - on a list of the Kingdom’s 85 most wanted terrorists. After being released from Guantanamo, the three graduated from Saudi Arabia’s rehabilitation program and joined eight other former Gitmo detainees in fleeing south to Yemen. All eleven joined al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.

About the escape plot that freed these eleven detainees?  It was planned and carried out by fellow ex Gitmo alumni.

The disappearance of the 11 returnees was well-coordinated in advance and they traveled to Yemen in several groups.12 The flight of the Saudi returnees was allegedly coordinated with other non-Saudi former Guantanamo detainees who have been repatriated to other countries, indicating that returnees have maintained ties from Guantanamo.

Just for the record: SC Representative Joe Wilson was right.

Obama did lie.  (h/t Gateway Pundit)

The Hill Blog:

Senate Finance Committee Democrats rejected a proposed requirement that immigrants prove their identity with photo identification when signing up for federal healthcare programs.

Finance Committee ranking member Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said that current law and the healthcare bill under consideration are too lax and leave the door open to illegal immigrants defrauding the government using false or stolen identities to obtain benefits.

Grassley's amendment was beaten back 10-13 on a party-line vote.

And about abortions?  Looks like baby killing will be fair game under the plan making its way through the Congress as an amendment that would specifically exclude them has also been defeated.

Will the Hyde Amendment (prohibiting federal funding of abortions) be next?  That's what Orrin Hatch is now claiming.  For their part, the Dems say Orrin Hatch is 'discriminating against women' by not using your and my tax dollars to kill their babies.

Democrats are positioning themselves to defeat a long-time rule that prevents federal dollars from funding abortions, Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) said Wednesday.

Every fiscal year, Congress must renew the Hyde Amendment, a provision first enacted in the 1970s following the Supreme Court's decision in the landmark Roe v. Wade abortion case, he explained.

Update:  Hyde Amendment!  Schmyde Amendment!  We don't need no stinking Hyde Amendment to provide federally funded abortion on demand! This ingenuous video from Susan B. Anthony's StopHyding.com explains it all for you and there's also a very good explanation at the link.  (H/T FReeper GVnana.)

Jihadi Smadi's bride shocked, shocked I tell you...

...to find out that the man she married so he could stay in the US wanted to stay here just so he could kill the infidel. 

All right, someone's got to say it:  Dumb bi&^%.

The happy couple  ---->

Says she still 'loves' him but also wants a divorce.  (go figure that one out.)

The wife of bomb-plot suspect Hosam Smadi says that though she still loves him, she doesn't understand how he might have considered harming innocent people.  Rosalinda Duron told WFAA-TV (Channel 8) on Tuesday that she plans to divorce Smadi, but she doesn't have the money to afford the proceedings.

"I love him. I did. You know, still do," said Duron, 20, of Waxahachie. "[But] what he has done is amazing. It's crazy. I can't believe it."

An interesting sidenote:  A body hair removal kit was one of the few things Smadi left behind in his apartment.  He was also overdue in his rent and being given the boot. 

While undercover FBI agents conversed with attempted bombing suspect Hosem Smadi during their six-month undercover investigation, Smadi was living in an energy efficient dome-style apartment in Italy, Texas.

CBS 11/TXA 21 Reporter Stephanie Lucero was allowed exclusive access to the apartment unit where Smadi lived from April of 2008 until shortly before his arrest. It's 314 square feet of space but the owner of the domes say Smadi took the furniture and nearly all of his belongings.

A pair of jeans, some trash, a broken kerosene lamp, a body hair removal kit and prophylactics are the only evidence that he lived there.

And you know what Jihadis ALWAYS do before their big martyrdom operations:

One tell-tale sign of suicide mission intent will be if he has recent body hair stubble on his chest, arms and back. Suicide bombers are often known to shave their bodies before their martyrdom attacks.

Smadi was a party animal who lived in an energy efficient, subsidized low income dome home and he STILL wasn't making his rent.

Dome sweet dome  ---->

David South, the owner and President of Monolithic.com says the domes are designed for people who make minimum wage and Smadi paid the weekly rate of $125 - which included all utilities. The domes are "super, super energy efficient" according to South.

"He rented the place," said South.  "We did a background check.  Turns out that my gals knew that he got married in the meantime.  I didn't."

South says he and his employees didn't know a lot about Smadi.  But they do say he liked to have a good time.  "He had parties with some of the people around here," South said,.

And South says he was overdue on his rent.  "He got six weeks behind, which says 'move on.' And they had told him they wanted him to move on Wednesday.  He said, 'I'm going to, I will be out of there by Friday.'"

Clarification: Initial reports had Smadi's brother, Hussein, being picked up on related charges.  It appears that he is in the custody of ICE officials strictly on a visa violation.

Your dose of good, old fashioned Muslim family values for today...

Just a quick sampling:

Divorce by SMS rife among Tajik Muslims:

Nodira knew that life would be difficult when her husband left their home in Tajikistan for a job packing lorries in distant Russia, but they had two children and needed the money to survive.  What she never imagined was that their marriage would end, not with a bang or even a whimper, but with the tinny beep of a message on the inbox of her mobile phone.

"Talaq, talaq, talaq" -- three short Arabic words flashed across the tiny screen and 29-year-old Nodira was divorced.  "I was shocked after reading that SMS. I instantly thought it was a mistake or someone's evil joke. I had bad thoughts in my mind, I wanted to hang or drown myself, or drink vinegar from such shame," she said. 

3 brothers kill sister (and mother of 5) over 'bad reputation'.

Three Jordanian men were charged on Tuesday with premeditated murder after allegedly stabbing to death their divorced sister as well as burning her body and house over her "bad reputation," police said.

Man guns down daughter and boyfriend in name of honor.

Father shot dead his daughter and a young man in the name of honour in Farooqa Town of Sargodha.  Police sources told that a man Sajjad opened fire when he found his 18 year old daughter with a young man Mubbashir, killing both of them on the spot.  The accused surrendered to police after the incident.

Ramadan's over - send us your daughters for sex.

For three days now, 2,000 girls, almost all minors, have left for the Middle East, particularly Dubai, to feed the needs of a population starved of entertainment and sex post the rigours of Ramzan.

The girls have been told they are being taken to dance in bars, but it is implicit that they will double up as prostitutes for well-paying clients. Another 1,000 will leave by tomorrow.  Sources say there has been an approximate 20 per cent rise in the trafficking of minors over the last year.

Now, what was it that President Obama said in his special Ramadan message again?  You know that part about:

"These rituals remind us of the principles that we hold in common, and Islam’s role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings."

It's come to this in the UK: Nanny State beer

Brewer Launches weak beer named 'Nanny State'

BrewDog said it launched Nanny State in response to the outcry caused after launching Tokyo* with an 18.2 per cent alcohol content.

...

BrewDog founder James Watt wrote on his blog: ''Anyone who knows BrewDog, knows beer, or anyone has more common sense than a common (or garden) gnome will know that the scathing and unrelenting criticism we faced was pretty unjustified.

''If logic serves the same people who witch-hunted and publicly slated us should now offer us heartfelt support and public congratulations. However I fear that this, unfortunately, is an arena devoid of logic and reason.''

BrewDog also caused controversy earlier this year when drinks industry watchdog the Portman Group said its drink Speedball should be withdrawn from the shelves because it shared a name with the drugs cocktail which killed actor River Phoenix.

Nanny State will be available online at www.brewdog.com with bottles costing £2.49 each.

(Check out their site -Their "Trashy Blonde" brew looks good.  It's slogan?  "You know you shouldn't."  Hahaha.)

"We would never come to a prayer meeting that you have to make a disturbance..."

I haven't written about the Muslim Capitol Hill Prayer Rally and Misogynistic Prayer Rug Throw Down  primarily because it seemed like there was already plenty of good coverage.

BUt, I didn't see this widely reported so I thought you might find it of interest as well...

"Please show us some respect. This is a sacred moment.

Just as your Sunday is sacred, our Friday is sacred."

Around 3,000 people gathered on the west lawn of the Capitol on Friday for a Muslim prayer service that organizers had hoped would draw around 50,000.

Among those present were around 50 protesters, who – though few in number – were audible enough to prompt organizers at one point in time to ask for respect.

"We would never come to a prayer meeting that you have to make a disturbance," Hamad Chebli, imam of the Islamic Society of Central Jersey, said from the speaking stand. "Please show us some respect. This is a sacred moment. Just as your Sunday is sacred, our Friday is sacred."

The protestors were pretty clear about what was going on:

One Christian leader, the Rev. Canon Julian Dobbs of the Convocation of Anglicans in North America, called Friday’s initiative “part of a well-defined strategy to Islamize American society and replace the Bible with the Koran, the cross with the Islamic crescent and the church bells with the Athan (the Muslim call to prayer).”

“It would be easy for many Americans to believe that Islam is a religion of peace and beauty. By far the majority of Muslims in North America are law-abiding citizens who seek to live out their lives without recourse to violence,” the conservative minister noted. “However, there is a strong and influential movement in the Muslim community that is positioning Islam to gain world dominance in the social, political, financial and religious sectors of nations.”

Okay, so let's review how "Just as our Sunday is sacred, their Friday is sacred..." in Muslim World shall we?

Heh: Islamic Bank of Britain loses 4.6 million pounds - in 6 months.

And the outlook for the next 6 months "is not good".  (So the next time some schmoe tells you how 'recession proof' Islamic finance is - mention this.)

<---  You KNOW that Food & WINE sign has to be cheesing them off.

From the Birmingham Mail:

"THE Islamic Bank of Britain slipped further into the red as the Birmingham-based organisation lost out on the international money markets.

In the six months to June 30 the bank, which has its national headquarters in Edgbaston, made a loss of £4.6 million, compared to £3.1 million in the same period the year before.

However, the bank’s products are still proving popular, with customer numbers rising by three per cent to just under 48,000 people banking with it. And deposits went up nine per cent, with £172 million of customers’ money held in trust by the bank."

And they STILL can't make any money.

"But it struggled to make a profit from the improved deposits.

In a statement to the stock exchange, the AIM-listed bank said: “The bank’s main source of revenue is the profits earned on deposits. Net margins on these deposits continued to fall during the period due to the decline in yields in the interbank market.”

It said the outlook for the rest of the financial year was not good, although its Home Purchase Plan launched last year has seen assets more than doubling in the six months to £14.4 million."

Face it.  No matter how much lipstick the banker types try to put on it, Shariah finance is still a pig of a business model with flawed theological underpinnings.

The Moonbat-Muslim Axis of Evil strikes again with Avaaz ad: OBL hearts Gitmo.

From the Daily Telegraph:

TRAVELLERS on the metro in the US capital risk coming facing to face with al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden, smiling and wearing an "I Love Guantanamo" T-shirt.

The irreverent billboard image of America's No.1 enemy, just a short distance from the White House, is part of an activist campaign aimed at highlighting that al-Qaeda uses the US detention centre as a recruiting tool.

The metro billboard is "to remind policymakers that torture is illegal, unethical and a top recruiting tool for the terrorist leader Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaeda network", creators from the Avaaz activist group said.

Avaaz believes Guantanamo is a potent symbol for the "war on terror" torture excesses of former president George W. Bush and that al-Qaeda plays on this fact to pull in new members."

The ad is slated to appear at the Farragut Metro station and in the Washington Post.  And based on the ads shown on their website this group could give Leni Riefenstahl a run for her money.

The ad in situ  --->

Want to learn more bout Avaaz.org? 

Well, surprise, surprise, surprise.  Look who's here?  MoveOn.org, the SEIU and John Podesta!

“Avaaz” means “Voice” in many Asian, Middle Eastern and Eastern European languages.

Avaaz.org was co-founded by Res Publica, a global civic advocacy group, and Moveon.org, an online community that has pioneered internet advocacy in the United States. Our co-founding team was also composed of a group of global social entrepreneurs from 6 countries, including our Executive Director Ricken Patel, Tom Perriello, Tom Pravda, Eli Pariser, Andrea Woodhouse, Jeremy Heimans, and David Madden. Avaaz is lucky to have the founding partnership and support of leading activist organizations from around the world, including the Service Employees International Union, a founding partner of Avaaz, GetUp.org.au, and many others."

Jihadi Smadi - His American bride sold out her country for $5000.

To me this constitutes an act of treason, but that's just me.  At the very least this woman should be prosecuted for immigration fraud IMO.  Don't count on it, though.

Jihadi Smadi and his $5000 bride sellout traitor.  -->

From WFAA.com  (there's also video at the link.)

Working at the Shell Texas Best Smokehouse located off Interstate 35E in Italy, the Jordanian citizen was living in the United States illegally. However, News 8 has learned he married Rosalinda Duron, last year. Both worked together at the gas station.

A marriage certificate states that the couple married on July 16, 2008 by a justice of the peace in Ellis County.

"He offered her $5,000 to marry him and she said no," said Gennro Duron, Rosalinda's grandfather. "She said, 'Give me $10,000.' I don't know what happened after that."

Just 18 at the time, Duron tried to convince her father to agree to the nuptials, her grandfather said."She said, 'Daddy, this man wants to marry me,'" he said. "And my son said, 'No. Don't marry nobody, not him.'"

Mr. Duron said Smadi wanted to marry his granddaughter so he could be legal in America.

There are no records that show a divorce ever occurred.

He married her, they lived together for about a month and they still remained friends at work.   (I wonder where he got the money to pay her?)

More about Smadi's case:  His attorneys and family are already playing the troubled teen, entrapment cards.  And in what has to be the howler of the day:

The FBI fabricated the entire thing to embarrass (President Barack) Obama because of his good relations with Muslims," 

Troubled Teen "just playing on the internet":

Known to wear a cross around his neck and spend more time in churches than the local mosque, US terror suspect Hosam Smadi has many Jordanians rethinking what makes a "terrorist."

Few in Jordan could have predicted that the 19-year-old Jordanian, who reportedly memorized Christian hymns and had close friendships with his American teachers, would end up in a US federal prison after being arrested on Sept. 24 and charged with attempting to bomb a Dallas skyscraper. As Jordanians struggle with how the life of a young man from the heartland of the Hashemite Kingdom went so wrong, their government hopes its Islamic education program will deter not just hardened militants but other troubled teens from getting caught up in terrorist activities.  (ed. note:  Howler of the Day runner up.)

It's Entrapment I tell you!  Entrapment!  And the FBI just wants to embarrass Obama!

"...But the arrests raise questions about the dividing line between a well-executed undercover operation and one that goes too far in "entrapping" a suspect who might otherwise never have gone afoul of the law.

Smadi is alleged to have told undercover FBI agents posing as members of an Al-Qaeda sleeper cell that he had come to the United States specifically to commit "jihad for the sake of God."

But the 19-year old's father insisted that allegations against his son had been "fabricated."

"My son is innocent and the charges are false," Maher Hussein Smadi, a ministry of agriculture engineer in the Jordanian town of Kofranjeh.  "The FBI fabricated the entire thing to embarrass (President Barack) Obama because of his good relations with Muslims," the father said."

(I'm betting it was DEAR OLD DAD who ponied up the cash for Jihadi Smadi's bride to be.  Just saying.)
