Homegrown Islamic Terrorists Arrested

(Los Angeles) Four homegrown Islamic terrorists identified as members of the radical group Jamiyyat Ul-Islam Is-Saheeh, or JIS, have been arrested for conspiring to attack military facilities, synagogues, and other targets in California.

From The Mercury-News:

Four suspects were charged Wednesday with conspiring to wage war against the U.S. government through terrorism. Named in the federal indictment were Levar Haley Washington, 25; Gregory Vernon Patterson, 21; Hammad Riaz Samana, 21; and Kevin James, 29.

All but Samana, a Pakistani national, are American born and Muslim converts. Counterterrorism officials have found no evidence directly connecting the group - described as the cell of a California prison gang of radical Muslims - to al-Qaida or other foreign terror networks.

Law enforcement officials and terrorism experts said it could represent one of the first Islamic terrorism cases involving U.S. natives without those connections.

Among the counts in the indictment, the four face charges of conspiracy to wage war against the U.S. government through terrorism, kill armed service members, and murder foreign officials.

The founder of Jamiyyat Ul-Islam Is-Saheeh is California State Prison inmate Kevin James (aka Shakyh Shahaab Murshid) who preaches terror to Islam's enemies. Followers apparently pledged loyalty to James "until death by martyrdom."

Interestingly, the plotters were exposed only after they were arrested for an unrelated series of gas station robberies. Subsequent searches of their possessions found weapons, ammunition, and plans for the attacks. In other words, the authorities were lucky to catch these fanatics before they acted.

"Make no mistake about it -- we dodged a bullet here, perhaps many bullets," Los Angeles police Chief William Bratton said at a news conference.
I need to be reminded why we allow convicts to spew murderous religious dogma in prison. Despite what the ACLU professes, I can't imagine the framers of the Constitution were thinking of radical, thug Islam when they drafted the Bill of Rights.

1 Since the ethnicity of the "American" muslims wasn't mentioned, I'll assume they were black. I beg someone to prove otherwise, but until then, I'll just chalk this up as more evidence that many, if not most blacks, are actively anti-American, and anti-civilization, and I think the recent activity in New Orleans supports this assertion. Call me racist, but if it quacks like a duck, call it a duck, and I think Thomas Sowell would agree here.

2 IM aren't you playing that card a bit much this week? I've met people from all over the world and of all colors. Black not = n word just as white not = sensible. I see your point but it reflects badly on you. Trash is trash no matter the color. You know I like you dude but sheesh. PS please don't shoot me.

3 How am I "playing the card", when it's blacks who are raping, looting, and shooting at helicopters, and who started screaming "racism" before the storm had even passed? All this PC bullshit is just that, and we know what's happening and who's doing it. If people want to keep their head buried in the sand, then fine, but don't expect me to as well. Yeah, trash is trash, but how many white people have you seen on the news carrying stolen merchandise? Not too damned many, and it isn't because of the "racist" media, because the media won't show black people in a bad light if they can help it. People can bleat along with all the other PC sheep all they want, but I'm done with apologetics, and I'm not going to pretend it isn't real.

4 Correction - - I think I recall reading in LAT a month or two ago that the crimes leading to their arrest were committed to fund terrorism. Not unrelated. The question now is can the ACLU find these guys a judge like the guy who handled the terrorist who snuck in across the Canadian border to blow up LAX 5 years ago. If so they will only get a slap on the wrist and credit for time served.

5 Improbulus Maximus, Plenty of whites are looting. It is just that the media shows them as "finding" things rather than looting. It is ony the blacks who actually "loot." Are you a member of SF? You should go there and rant, all of them are just like you.

6 Sheila, what is your source that "plenty of whites are looting"? Or are you just assuming that so you can be a good liberal apologist? You stupid whore, New Orleans is 67% black, and everyone has stated that the vast majority of people left are black, so where do "plenty" of whites come from? You goddamned liberals all need hanged by the neck until dead, and I'm stockpiling rope for that glorious day.

7 yeah those are blacks looting, most of those left are black, the police chief trying to keep order is black people who need aid are black.. they're still people, good and bad, despite all the BS you spew. get your shit together..

9 IM, you are the biggest bastard I have ever met. Go to stormfront, they need a new asshole to brainwash.

10 in a way i agree with IM...lemme tell you something here, i was talking with a bunch of my co-workers, majority of them are black and to a man all the black guys said they woould be looting and when i asked them why they said, why not???...i was shocked and so were the other two white co-workers...than the black guys said that since the police were looting as well that it must be okay to loot...you tell me....EVERY SINGLE pic i have seen in my newspaper here in NJ and the two NY papers i check out at work had pics of looters grabbing up sneakers, jeans, sports clothing, tv's and guess what color they all were???...the pics of white people showed them laying on the ground or holding onto family members...i can totally understand anyone and color makes no differnce if they are trying to get needed food and drink, no problem, you need them to just survive, but tell me, why the hell are you gonna take a tv, or stereo or DVD player when there is no power, no city and no one probally has any money...the entire area is under water, destroyed and these knuckleheads are looting electronics...helloooo??!!?

11 What is IM really saying? That black people should be shot? No. The majority of people there happen to be black, hence the larger proportion of black looters. Is he saying that all looters should be shot--black or white? Yes. Who disagrees?

12 Just because they're black doesn't autmatically make them thugs or looters. Make a difference between right and wrong.

Posted by: Ren at September 03, 2005 10:35 AM (7ZsmI)

13 Do not let them get the same judge that got the illegal alien who tried to blow up LAX 5 years ago. They will be back on the streets in 09.

14 I love how the libtards can never refute anything I say, but rather just snivel and whine. Let me clariffy a couple of things: Yes, I'm the biggest bastard you will ever meet, if you are so unlucky to do so; I can kill a liberal with facts and logic from fifty yards, and few walk away from me without limping from the pain in their shiny new asshole, freshly torn, by me. Anyone who shoots at their rescuers, loots, rapes, etc., during a disaster, is not a human being, but a subhuman who needs to be expurged for the good of society and the gene pool, as does anyone who excuses such behavior because of skin color. I don't give a good flying damn what someone's skin color is; never have, never will. I'm a rationalist, and I understand that skin color is meaningless superficiality, but it's behavior that counts, because behavior, especially during times of crisis, tells you all you need to know about someone. What was it someone said about wanting their children to be judged not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character? Whoever said that was obviously prejudiced against blacks, wouldn't you agree?

15 Dammit IM, had me thinking you're some kind of racist.. Well, you got it going right, I really don't disagree. A disaster is no excuse for thuggery and looting and your colour ain't going to make it right. Some coloured and the libs will take every opportunity to play the THE-OPPRESSED-COLOURED-VICTIM card calling out about general racism and oppression being apologetic about everything, it's very *ss backward and doesn't lead to anything, just makes them look very stupid & retarded. Of course, that won't stop them from doing it anyway and I wish them the best of luck.

16 I'm not a racist, I'm a civilizationalist; I respect those who can behave as civilized people, and despise those who behave as savages or condone savagery. I don't make the demographics of reality, but I do see them clearly.
