Terror Trial Begins for U.S. Citizens in Lodi, FBI Investigating Newspaper Leak

The trial for two Lodi, California, men who have extensive ties to terror supporters in Pakistan begins today. The Sacramento Bee, which has been following the case closely, is now the target of a FBI investigation over information it published from a sealed federal indictment.

Two Muslim religious leaders who attended the same California mosque as Hamid & Umer Hayat have already been deported. The son, Hamid, is charged with giving material support to terrorists and three minor counts of lying to investigators. The father, Umar, is charged with two counts of lying to the FBI.

Don't let this relatively minor charges fool you. They told federal investigators that they had no ties to terrorism when in fact the younger of the two, Hamid Hayat, had attended terrorist training camps in Pakistan. All this after they had become naturalized U.S. citizens and were widely seen as pillars of the community.

I believe we have a name for citizens of our country who give material support to our enemies and swear to wage war against us: treason.

Incidentally, the Lodi Muslim community was outraged at the allegations that any one of them could possibly have ties to terrorists. Because, as we all know, to suggest that the percentage of terror supporters in the Muslim community is probably much higher than the number of terror supporters among the Mennonites is not allowed. Who represented this group of victims? The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the ACLU.

Behold the face of treason. more...

People We Wish would go Hunting with Dick Cheney

My first thought after hearing the Vice President Dick Cheney had shot some one was: OMG, I can finally stop blogging. Nothing in the world I write can ever be as funny as that.

My second thought after hearing that Vice President Dick Cheny had shot some one was: If only the VP would invite some huge pain in the asses for 'diplomatic talks' while hunting, that sure would solve a lot of problems.

Presenting the Jawa Report's guide to people we'd love to see go hunting with Vice President Dick Cheney. Feel free to leave your suggestions in the comments or by sending us a link.

Saddam goes hunting with Cheney, saves America billions and countless lives. Sorry Saddam, I mistook you for an eight point buck!

Nuclear holocaust prevented for the cost of a 16 gauge shell. It is pheasant season. more...

Danish Muslims to Accept Partial Responsibilty for Conflict

Danish Muslims want to say they're sorry. Sort of. Kinda like the abusive husband who says, I'm sorry for hitting you but you've got to admit you were being a bitch and provoked me. Yeah, exactly like that.

Agora:

he spokesman for the Danish Moslem group, 28-year-old Ahmed Akkari who claims to represent 27 Moslem organizations tells Jyllands-Posten that he is ready to accept "a third of the blame" for the escalating conflict if Jyllands-Posten and the Danish Government accepts that the rest is theirs. Ahmed Akkari explains that this is an attempt to get into a dialogue.

"With this concrete action we are attempting to show that we bear part of the blame in order to achieve resolution to this crisis. We want to show that we arenÂ’t running. In fact, we have been trying to do that for the last two weeks," says Ahmed Akkari.

Happy Valentine's Day.


Could it possibly be true that somehow an idea rooted in moral and religious correctness does not always make good public policy? Hmm,could be. Who knows, it may even result in this! Posted by: Howie at 12:48 PM | Comments (3) | Add Comment

Pappy Boyington

The University of Washington, in response to a proposal to erect a monument for decorated WWII Marine pilot Col. Gregory "Pappy" Boyington, decided that they didn't need "any more monuments to rich white men" and that they weren't too keen on the idea of putting up a monument that, you know, dealt with like, war and killing and stuff. Minutes of the meeting here: (http://senate.asuw.org/secretary/minutes/senate/12/02-07-2006.pdf))


(h/t Ace O' Spades).

Well, as it turns out the student senate (contact information here: http://www.asuw.org/directory.php) is having another senate meeting tonight, 2/14 at 5pm.

If you feel moved, drop them a line.

If you're alumni, feel free to tell them to go to hell.

Double that if you're a vet.

Just for reference, they wanted to have work started (not necessarily completed) by Jan 11, 2008 - the 20th anniversary of his death. Read through the minutes, fascinating stuff.

UPDATE:

This is the current response from the student council president, who I am sure, is getting deluged right now. I have to give the guy credit - it's a mature response in what must be a trying situation. He doesn't dodge or spin, he's taking responsibility - I think there are a number of DC denizens who would do well to heed his example.

The blog news and the draft minutes that were posted are inaccurate. First, Ashley Miller's statements were highlighting, as a point of information, that the majority of our statues are white males, which was an issue previously addressed last year, this is not in any way meant to go against Colonel Boyington. It was noted by the sponsor, Andrew Everett, about Boyington's heritage later. Jill Edwards made here statements as an individual, and it should not be assumed she speaks for all students. Karl Smith wanted to honor his service as a whole (he risked his life, endured 20 months in a POW Camp) in an effort to bring more support from a number of students who do not morally agree with war. These statements are in public discourse that has been and will always be at the University of Washington to educate on the questions and issues of our society.

I would also like to remind you that as ASUW President I cosponsored this bill to create a memorial, it failed by one vote, and a good majority of those who voted against it wanted more inclusion of other alumni who were combat veterans who earned the Medal of Honor. This week a new resolution to that effect is being drafted and introduced. In the meantime the ASUW supports veterans in other ways, currently we are supporting state legislation that will hopefully pass and guarantee veterans tuition waivers. In the end, the buck stops here, I would appreciate further comments to be made to me. Please do not participate or condone the hate-filled comments and phone calls made toward individuals in our student government. It has been appalling to see what is being said to people. I too am nauseated.

Thank you for you statements.
Sincerely,
Lee Dunbar

Press Goes All Islamic On White House Over Veep's Accident

While the world marvels at the grotesquely disproportionate spoiled-child reaction of Muslims to the Danish Mohammed cartoons, American journalists are staging their own tantrum.

The Washington Post angrily sulks in an editorial today about the delay in getting out information about Dick Cheney's shooting accident:

The shooting wasn't disclosed until Sunday morning, when Katharine Armstrong, a member of the family that owns the ranch, called the Corpus Christi Caller-Times and the paper posted the story on its Web site in the afternoon after confirming the account with Mr. Cheney's office. Until then, the White House and the vice president's office were mum. By every standard and by all accounts, the failure to promptly disclose the accident was wrong.
But wait:
And the Secret Service reportedly notified the local sheriff's office of the incident on Saturday, according to the New York Times.
They did? and nobody in the vaunted mainstream media was bothering to monitor local police reports in the area where the Veep was known to be taking R&R? Really? And now they're all steamed that a minor story slipped past them because, they weren't doing their jobs. more...

Indonesian Justice: 3.8 Days for Mass Murdering Terrorists, Death Sentence for Drug Smugglers

The two ringleaders of the Bali 9 drug smuggling ring have been sentenced to death by an Indonesian court. Get that? In Indonesia they kill you for smuggling drugs.

Compare that sentence to this one. Abu Bakar Bashir is the head of Southeast Asia's al Qaeda affiliate, Jemaah Islamiyaah. He is the Osama bin Laden of Southeast Asia. It was Bashir's terrorist group that murdered 202 people at a night club in Bali. For that, Bashir was senteneced to 25.5 months in prison.

That's about 765 days.

That's 3.8 days per victim.

Drug dealers, though, are put in front of a firing squad. Our friends in the war on terror in a moderate Muslim country. Indeed.

More Dead, KFC Torched in Muhammed Cartoon Protests

More followers of the most peaceful and tolerant religion on earth killed in protests over blasphemous cartoons. Apparently they thought the rhyme went:

With sticks and stones we'll break your bones,
whenever your words do hurt me.

As for destroying a KFC and burning Colonel Sanders in effigy, one member of the mob claims they did it as a protest against a secret additive, put in Original Recipe by Jews, which makes you crave it fortnightly.

Pakistan:

Two people were killed Tuesday in anti-cartoons rallies in Pakistan's eastern Lahore city after which protestors turned violent and set fire to an American food outlet, commercial buildings and parts of regional legislature building, officials and witnesses said.

Several thousand demonstrators went on a rampage when a security guard stationed outside a metropolitan bank allegedly fired and killed two people when they charged towards the building.

Interior Minister Aftab Ahmed Khan Sherpao confirmed the fatalities but said no one has so far been arrested.

After the shooting incident, enraged protesters set fire to the American food outlet KFC and three commercial buildings and also burned a few rooms of the Punjab Assembly building.

If you don't eat at KFC today, the terrorists have already won.

Dar al Ummah Update

uma_thurman_hot.jpgThe 'Ummah' in Islam is 'the nation' composed of believers. Pictured right: the only Uma I'd like to get in.

Al Gore, Jedi Knight? Oh, better make that 'Jeddah' knight. (sith high fives to Jim)

Isn't calling the Muhammed cartoons 'intellectual terrorism' kind of like women who say they are 'emotionally abused' as if to say 'sure my husband didn't hit me, cheat on me, didn't drink, and had a job-- but I'm a victim just like you Nicole Brown Simpson'.

Muhammed spotted in tortilla (or something like that).

If Iran was a fully owned subsidiary of NBC's Must See TV Thursday Night.

Why porn will help us win the war on terror. I'm seriously.

U.N. wants Gitmo, shut down and Palestine Jew free.

Oliver Stone's new film won't blame Jews for 9/11. Amazing.

Liberty in Montreal.

Ted Kennedy spotting.

Cindy Sheehan is soooooo funny.

Where do the Belgians keep their armies? Certainly not in their tanks.

Geena Davis to join editorial board for Cartoon Network's Adult Swim, promises less Muhammed cartoons, more Aisha the nine year old bride/child-molestation victim of Muhammed cartoons.

UPDATE: Debbie Schlussel, you ignorant slut (must be said in Chevy Chase voice for full effect)

I got the same letter as Captain Ed. Since he published it first, I'll direct your attention to it here. It's a translation of a Danish article about how the Muhammed cartoon controversy was orchestrated by a few travelling imams.

Theocracy Is Bad, Mm-kay?

mackey.jpg

From a Memri transcript of Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad speaking on February 11:

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: The affront to the honor of the Prophet of Islam it is in fact an affront to the worship of God, and to the seeking of truth and justice, and an affront to all the prophets of God. Obviously, all those who harm the honor of the prophet of Islam...

Crowd: Death to Denmark.

Death to Denmark.

Death to Denmark.

Death to Denmark.

[...]

Ahmadinejad: As the representative of the great Iranian people, I call upon all free people of the world – Christians and Jews – to rise together with the Muslims and not to let a handful of shameless Zionists, who have been defeated in Palestine, to harm the sanctity of the prophets.

We Got One!!!!

Remember that scene in Ghostbusters, where the sexcretary hits the alarm, stands up, and yells "We got one!!!"

Rusty, I think I have just found something even more elusive than a ghost. More elusive than our shared dream of a fatwa...

...A true moderate Muslim.

That is why my first allegiance is to this country. Without its freedoms and protections, my faith would be something much smaller. That is also why my dream has always been one of a pluralistic, democratic society where all religions and people can feel welcome. Islamists, from the radical to the moderate, would argue that in their dream the will of the majority and the Islamic state become one. What instilled my intense love for the United States from a young age was that our democracy has a Bill of Rights that upholds minorities, prevents oppression by the majority, and keeps religious scripture out of government — the antithesis of Islamism.

Along the same lines as this (which you should participate in too).

German Civilian Hostages in Iraq Threatened on Video

The name of this terror organization is eerily similar to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's Tawhid i jihad and the Kurdish al Qaeda offshoot of Ansar al-Sunna.

AP:

Al-Arabiya TV aired footage of two German hostages surrounded by their kidnappers Monday who threatened to kill them unless the German government doesn't meet their demands.

The station's broadcaster said the kidnappers, identified as Tawhid and Sunnah Brigade [Unity and the way of the Prophet followers], warned the German government that it was the "last chance" to comply with their demands or they will kill hostages Thomas Nitschke and Rene Braeunlich, who were abducted Jan. 24 in Beiji, north of Baghdad.

Tawhid and Sunnah had previously threatened to murder Thomas Nitschke and Rene Braeunlich within 72 hours on another video if the German government did not cut off all diplomatic and trading ties with Iraq. That deadline came and went several weeks ago.

An earlier video was released on January 27th. The two were reported missing a few days before that.

Thanks to Carlos for his unending support of hostages in Iraq.

Kurdistan: The OTHER Iraq

So much bad news about Iraq, it's good to see a reporter actually taking the time to visit Kurdistan. Incidentally, I support Kurdish independence. Of all our allies in the region, the Kurds have proved the most dependable. Far more than the Turks whose alliance is less necessary now than it has ever been.

Why don't you drop Michael J. Totten a line and give him the thumbs up for going to Kurdistan:

I believed him, partly because I wanted to believe him, but also because it lined up with everything I had heard and read about Kurdistan before I got there. Yes, itÂ’s Iraq. But the war is in a different part of the country. There are no Kurdish insurgents. The Peshmerga guard KurdistanÂ’s de-facto border with ruthless effectiveness. Those who attempt to cross away from the checkpoints and the roads are ambushed by border patrols. Anyone who doesnÂ’t speak Kurdish as their native language stands out among the general population. Iraqi Kurds, out of desperate necessity, have forged one of the most watchful and vigilant anti-terrorist communities in the world. Terrorists from elsewhere just canÂ’t operate in that kind of environment. Al Qaeda members who do manage to infiltrate are hunted down like rats. This conservative Muslim society did a better job protecting me from Islamist killers than the U.S. military could do in the Green Zone in Baghdad.
FYI--the main insurgent group in the region is The Army of Ansar al-Sunna. But Kurdistan is so well guarded that the group generally (with the occasional exception) operates outside of Kurdistan proper.

Mohammed Cartoons: La BAF Severed-hand Protest

Muslims in Paris protesting cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed had two unwelcome guests join them Saturday.

la baf severed handTwo men from La BAF, protesting in favor of Denmark and the cartoonists, and in favor of free speech, joined the Muslim protest. One man displayed a Danish cartoonist's fake severed-hand complete with drawing pencil:

La BAF—But very quickly, the crowd began to surround and threaten us. Some started a passionating debate: on one side, those supporting an immediate stoning, on the other side, those who wanted to avoid a public massacre. Meanwhile, the police forced us to leave and took us away in a police van to let us go far away from the demonstration. (Thanks to them)

Many demosntrators had started to move the demosntration behind us, to follow us in the street where the police had brought us. Some where yelling "Allah'u Akbar" and had visibly decided to catch us. ...

Peas Be Upon You

I'll be busy most of today. If you have an interesting link, feel free to drop it here or send a trackback so we can issue a fatwa. While I'm away, imagine Islamic whirled peas. (dar al Islam--the house of peas)

Religion of peas throws rocks at British soldiers, soldiers respond by beating the hell out of them.

Green: sacred color of Islam, Notre Dame, and peas.

Daily Tarhreel runs Muhammed pics (peas be upon him).

Iran uses nukes for peasful purposes. U.S. planning strike on peas factory.

Peas in our time.

Peas out RINOS.

Pat Yourself On The Back

Local guy just called me back to tell me that D.C. knew about it and was working on it already.

Which means someone saw my post and reported it even before I did.

What can I say, but thank you, and we get results!

If you don't know what I'm talking about, scroll down, I have to go back to work.
