So You Want To Convert To Islam?

Fitzgerald: For the convert, Islam is so many wonderful things

"I met Danny the week he converted, about seven years ago," said Uguz, identified by worshipers at the mosque yesterday as Maldonado's best friend. "He was cool. He dressed in T-shirts and jeans and didn't hide any of his tattoos. His hair was in dreadlocks. He was eager, and he had a lot of questions."
.............

Maldonado, who grew up in Pelham, N.H., and later lived in Methuen, became immersed in Islam and attended prayer sessions regularly at Selimiye Mosque. He began wearing traditional Arab clothing, including the galabeyah, an ankle-length gown with long sleeves that covered the tattoos on his arms. He struggled to grow the beard of a religious Muslim. When he could not, he blamed his Puerto Rican heritage and began chastising fellow Muslims who could grow a full beard and chose not to." -- from this article

Islam is so many wonderful things for a convert such as Danny Maldonado.

For the anomie-ridden empty-headed Spiritual Searcher, it offers the One-Stop Solution to the riddle of the universe. It offers, after all, a Complete Regulation of Daily Life. No thought required. Allah Ta'ala Knows Best. Yours is not to reason why: just ask Mr. Fatwa. Ask and ye shall be given the answer as to what you are commanded to do, and what you are prohibited from doing. And when you know what is halal, and what haram, you simply follow those rules, slavishly.

For the person who resents his position in society, possibly (though not necessarily) because he feels "persecuted" or "discriminated" against as a member of an ethnic or racial minority, Islam offers a justification for making war on society -- an Infidel society which, he is told, is "unjust" (i.e., un-Islamic). Islam is now the vehicle for protest and opposition and declaration of alienation from all that that society is.

For the criminal, Islam justifies and even glorifies one's deeds. You have not stolen when you take, as a Muslim, the property of Infidels. You have not behaved badly, and certainly are not guilty of a crime, when you take, as a Muslim, non-Muslim women forcibly for your pleasure -- they were asking for it, by the way they dress, or talk, or think. They deserve it. And whatever you do, as long as the victims are Infidels, is justified in your mind, and in the minds of others. That doesn't mean that all Muslims are always breaking all laws -- no. Some will be perfectly law-abiding, but realize that, as a matter of belief, they do have a right to lay those Infidel laws aside. At some point, once they achieve greater numbers and greater powers, they will be able to exercise that right with greater boldness and impunity, to ignore, or not to recognize, the manmade laws of the Infidel nation-state -- laws which, precisely because they are manmade and Infidel, have no validity except insofar as they happen to coincide with the laws of Islam, or must be observed as a matter of necessity when Muslims are not in a position of power.

For the lonely misbegotten wretches of this world, Islam offers an Instant Community. The clever practitioners of Da'wa are able to locate the weakest links in our society, and to woo them, and to tell them just a tiny bit about Islam, and then -- first a little, thence to more -- they let those new converts in on all of Islam's killing store. Meanwhile, the New Muslim (they are careful not to use the word "revert" before Infidels, for the very word causes a question to be asked by Infidels that Muslims don't wish to answer) is carefully taken under the wing of one or several people, including the imam, who carefully look after this New Muslim, making sure he doesn't begin to question his decision, making sure he is surrounded by fellow Muslims eager to offer him every kindness and every encouragement, eager to keep him away from his old Infidel haunts and friends and relatives.

Oh, it's down to a well-planned campaign, a campaign that has been hewed, over centuries, and has had remarkable success. And now we shall see what happens in the Western world. Will the missionaries of Tablighi Jamaat and other groups succeed, as they attempt to inveigle the economically and socially marginal into being Recruits for the Army of Islam? Or will the Infidels realize what kind of a threat this is, and do something effective, or many effective things, both to counter Da'wa and, as important, to win converts from Islam -- beginning possibly with non-Arab Muslims who must be shown how they have been used, exploited, manipulated by an ideology that is and always has been a vehicle for Arab supremacism?


WHICH PART DON'T YOU GET?

"Islamic fanatics are not a peaceful group," you ask? Thousands of these sons-of-bitches are plotting as we speak to destroy our country and our way of life any way they can. Some of them are here among us now. They don't want to convert you and don't want to rule you. You are a vile infestation of Allah's paradise. They don't give a damn how "progressive" you are, how peace-loving you are, or how much you sympathize with their cause. They want you dead, and think it is God's will for them to do it.

And you think Bush and Cheney are your worst enemies?

John Kerry thinks if he gives them a hug or listens to them, they'll like us... and you agree?

You dumb ass!

If they manage to get their hands on a nuke, chemical agents, or even some anthrax - you will wish to God we had hunted them down and killed THEM while we had the chance. Stop bitchin' about your damn Health Care, Social Security, Gas prices and your measly 4.6% unemployment rate... and start worrying about you, your family's, and your friends' asses. How many Americans must be beheaded before you stop blaming Bush for all your troubles - and take charge of your life for a change!

Situational Scripture

• 85:21. Nay! This is a Glorious Qur'ân,

  
  

  22. (Inscribed) in Al-Lauh Al-Mahfûz (The Preserved Tablet)!

• From Ibn Kathir's Tafsir:
  

  (Verily, the first of what Allah created was the Pen, and He said to it: "Write.'' The Pen said: "O my Lord, what shall I write'' He said: "Write the decree and whatever will throughout eternity.'')'' This Hadith has been recorded by Imam Ahmad through various routes of transmission. At-Tirmidhi also recorded it from a Hadith of Abu Dawud At-Tayalisi and he (At-Tirmidhi) said about it, "Hasan Sahih, Gharib.''

• 56:77. That (this) is indeed an honourable recital (the Noble Qur'ân).

  
  

  56:78. In a Book well-guarded (with Allâh in the heaven i.e. Al-Lauh Al-Mahfûz).

  
  

  56:79. Which (that Book with Allâh) none can touch but the purified (i.e. the angels).

  
  

  56:80. A Revelation (this Qur'ân) from the Lord of the 'Alamîn (mankind, jinns and all that exists).

The following quote comes from the King Fahd Complex; [links added].

The Noble Qur’an: its Virtue and Status as a Source of Legislation

The Noble Qur’an is Allah’s Word through which He expressed His commands and teachings. It is raised above any possible description. The Noble Qur’an was revealed to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and was accepted by the believers as being the essence of truth. Moreover, the believers maintain that it is the Word of Allah and not the words of any of His creatures. Thus, whosoever claims that it is the words of a human being becomes a disbeliever.

Allah described the Qur’an in the following verses: "And verily, it is an honourable well-fortified respected Book (because it is Allâh’s Speech, and He has protected it from corruption). Falsehood cannot come to it from before it or behind it: (it is) sent down by the All-Wise, Worthy of all praise (Allâh). (41:41,42). The Qur’an was also described by Allah in this verse: "(This is) a Book, the Verses whereof are perfected (in every sphere of knowledge), and then explained in detail from One (Allâh), Who is All-Wise Well-Acquainted (with all things). (11:1)

In fact, the verses of the Noble Qur’an are very accurate, clear and obvious; they are perfected by the All-Wise and detailed by the All-Aware. This Qur’an will remain a miraculous Book with regard to the rhetorical, legislative, scientific, and historical aspects. It will remain unchallengeable in these and other aspects till the end of the world. It is preserved from the least kind of distortion; as Allah [exalted and glorified be He] said: "Verily, We, it is We Who have sent down the Dhikr (i.e. the Qur’ân) and surely, We will guard it (from corruption). (15:9)

Now we know that the Qur'an is Allah's perfect word, inscribed and sealed before the creation of the world and sequentially revealed to Muhammad. Yeah, right. In a few minutes you will know that Muhammad was a ventriloquist and Allah was his dummy.

First, we shall examine situational scripture related to Muhammad's lechery.

• Bukhari Volume 7, Book 62, Number 18:

  Narrated 'Ursa:

  The Prophet asked Abu Bakr for 'Aisha's hand in marriage. Abu Bakr said "But I am your brother." The Prophet said, "You are my brother in Allah's religion and His Book, but she (Aisha) is lawful for me to marry."

• Bukhari Volume 5, Book 58, Number 235:

  Narrated 'Aisha:

  That the Prophet said to her, "You have been shown to me twice in my dream. I saw you pictured on a piece of silk and some-one said (to me). 'This is your wife.' When I uncovered the picture, I saw that it was yours. I said, 'If this is from Allah, it will be done."

• Bukhari Volume 5, Book 58, Number 236:

  Narrated Hisham's father:

  Khadija died three years before the Prophet departed to Medina. He stayed there for two years or so and then he married 'Aisha when she was a girl of six years of age, and he consumed that marriage when she was nine years old.

Muhammad lusted after the six year old daughter of his cousin and bosom buddy. Allah set up the marriage for him. If this was not a family friendly blog, I'd tell you what he was doing to Aisha for three long years.
Can it get any worse than that? Allah sanctioned incest especially for Muhammad. In The Prophet Of Doom, Craig Winn quotes a passage from Tabari which describes Muhammad's arousal when he saw the wife of his adopted son scantily clad. Then Allah made special arrangements:

• Bukhari Volume 9, Book 93, Number 516:

  Narrated Anas:

  Zaid bin Haritha came to the Prophet complaining about his wife. The Prophet kept on saying (to him), "Be afraid of Allah and keep your wife." Aisha said, "If Allah's Apostle were to conceal anything (of the Quran he would have concealed this Verse." Zainab used to boast before the wives of the Prophet and used to say, "You were given in marriage by your families, while I was married (to the Prophet) by Allah from over seven Heavens." And Thabit recited, "The Verse:-- 'But (O Muhammad) you did hide in your heart that which Allah was about to make manifest, you did fear the people,' (33.37) was revealed in connection with Zainab and Zaid bin Haritha."

• 33:37. And (remember) when you said to him (Zaid bin Hârithah; the freed­slave of the Prophet) on whom Allâh has bestowed Grace (by guiding him to Islâm) and you (O Muhammad too) have done favour (by manumitting him) "Keep your wife to yourself, and fear Allâh." But you did hide in yourself (i.e. what Allâh has already made known to you that He will give her to you in marriage) that which Allâh will make manifest, you did fear the people (i.e., Muhammad married the divorced wife of his manumitted slave) whereas Allâh had a better right that you should fear Him. So when Zaid had accomplished his desire from her (i.e. divorced her), We gave her to you in marriage, so that (in future) there may be no difficulty to the believers in respect of (the marriage of) the wives of their adopted sons when the latter have no desire to keep them (i.e. they have divorced them). And Allâh's Command must be fulfilled.

  
  

  33:38. There is no blame on the Prophet in that which Allâh has made legal for him.That has been Allâh's Way with those who have passed away of (the Prophets of) old. And the Command of Allâh is a decree determined.

• Abu Dawud Book 1, Number 0317:

Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin:

The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) sent Usayd ibn Hudayr and some people with him to search the necklace lost by Aisha. The time of prayer came and they prayed without ablution. When they returned to the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) and related the fact to him, the verse concerning tayammum was revealed.

Ibn Nufayl added: Usayd said to her: May Allah have mercy upon you! Never has there been an occasion when you were beset with an unpleasant matter but Allah made the Muslims and you come out of that.

• Bukhari Volume 6, Book 60, Number 311:

  Narrated Aisha:

  I used to look down upon those ladies who had given themselves to Allah's Apostle and I used to say, "Can a lady give herself (to a man)?" But when Allah revealed: "You (O Muhammad) can postpone (the turn of) whom you will of them (your wives), and you may receive any of them whom you will; and there is no blame on you if you invite one whose turn you have set aside (temporarily).' (33.51) I said (to the Prophet), "I feel that your Lord hastens in fulfilling your wishes and desires."

By now it must be obvious to even the slowest and most dim witted reader that Muhammad made up the Qur'an as he went along, and that he put words in Allah's mouth for his own benefit. Aisha was not unaware of this fact, as we see in Bukhari 6.60.31: "I feel that your Lord hastens in fulfilling your wishes and desires.".


The author, realizing that a few liberals may be reading this, piles on the evidence.

• Abu Dawud Book 14, Number 2506:
  

  Narrated AbuAyyub:

  AbuImran said: We went out on an expedition from Medina with the intention of (attacking) Constantinople. AbdurRahman ibn Khalid ibn al-Walid was the leader of the company. The Romans were just keeping their backs to the walls of the city. A man (suddenly) attacked the enemy.

  Thereupon the people said: Stop! Stop! There is no god but Allah. He is putting himself into danger.

  AbuAyyub said: This verse was revealed about us, the group of the Ansar (the Helpers). When Allah helped His Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) and gave Islam dominance, we said (i.e. thought): Come on! Let us stay in our property and improve it.

  Thereupon Allah, the Exalted, revealed, "And spend of your substance in the cause of Allah, and make not your hands contribute to (your destruction)". To put oneself into danger means that we stay in our property and commit ourselves to its improvement, and abandon fighting (i.e. jihad).

  AbuImran said: AbuAyyub continued to strive in the cause of Allah until he (died and) was buried in Constantinople.

• Abu Dawud Book 11, Number 2084:
  

  Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas:

  About the Qur'anic verse: "It is not lawful for you forcibly to inherit the woman (of your deceased kinsmen), nor (that) ye should put constraint upon them. When a man died, his relatives had more right to his wife then her own guardian. If any one of them wanted to marry her, he did so; or they married her (to some other person), and if they did not want to marry her, they did so. So this verse was revealed about the matter.

• Abu Dawud Book 18, Number 2881:
  

  Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah:

  I fell ill, and I had seven sisters. The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) came to me and blew on my face. So I became conscious. I said: Apostle of Allah, may I not bequeath one-third of my property to my sisters? He replied: Do good. I asked: Half? He replied: Do good. He then went out and left me, and said: I do not think, Jabir, you will die of this disease. Allah has revealed (verses) and described the share of your sisters. He appointed two-thirds for them. Jabir used to say: This verse was revealed about me: "They ask thee for a legal decision. Say: Allah directs (thus) about those who leave no descendants or ascendants as heirs.

• Bukhari Volume 6, Book 60, Number 176:
  

  Narrated Ibn Abbas:

  When the Verse:--'If there are twenty steadfast amongst you (Muslims), they will overcome two-hundred (non-Muslims).' was revealed, it became hard on the Muslims when it became compulsory that one Muslim ought not to flee (in war) before ten (non-Muslims). So (Allah) lightened the order by revealing:

  '(But) now Allah has lightened your (task) for He knows that there is weakness in you. So if there are of you one-hundred steadfast, they will overcome (two-hundred (non-Muslims).' (8.66) So when Allah reduced the number of enemies which Muslims should withstand, their patience and perseverance against the enemy decreased as much as their task was lightened for them.

If any Dhimmi or Muslim among you needs more evidence, let him enter verse was revealed into his favorite hadith search engine.

FBI hot - then cold - on trail of 2nd-generation al-Qaida operative.

By Josh Meyer
Los Angeles Times

CHARLIEVILLE, Trinidad and Tobago – Five years ago, as 19 al-Qaida operatives in the United States put the finishing touches on what would become the Sept. 11 attacks, a frail, asthmatic computer engineer from South Florida paid a visit to this tiny Muslim enclave where he’d lived as a boy.

Adnan Gulshair Muhammad el Shukrijumah, then 25, kept a low profile over the course of the week. He hung out with a small circle of devout older men who were leaders of the local Islamic community. They prayed in mosques, went fishing and enjoyed long walks and leisurely dinners, recalled one of the hosts, Imtiaz Mohammed.

Shukrijumah spoke fondly of his father, an influential Islamic scholar and Charlieville community leader two decades earlier. He also spoke of his family life in Miramar, Fla., his computer technician business and his travels to the Mideast and other exotic locales.
But Shukrijumah said nothing about why he was in Trinidad, nor what his plans were, acquaintances here say.

Two years later, the FBI put out an urgent all-points bulletin for Shukrijumah, depicting him as one of al-Qaida’s most well-trained, intelligent and deadly operatives. He was described as the ultimate “sleeper agent,” intent on attacking the United States, possibly with weapons of mass destruction.

Law enforcement officials and terrorism experts now believe Shukrijumah is one of a handful of young, street-smart leaders of al-Qaida handpicked by Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks, to keep the terrorist network alive and humming in the face of U.S.-led efforts to unravel it.

To be sure, the FBI’s record on identifying terrorist plotters since Sept. 11 includes some widely publicized failures. In some cases, law enforcement officials have alleged that suspects were centrally involved in plots, only to back off those assertions when cases moved toward court.

And officials concede there is much they do not know about Shukrijumah, including what he was doing in Trinidad. Within days of the alert in March 2003, agents arrived on the island looking for him, but he was long gone.

Terrorism officials inside and outside the government say they believe Shukrijumah is a major al-Qaida figure, and the hunt for him is intense, with an FBI team tracking him virtually full time. So far, their quarry has remained elusive.

Whereas the core of al-Qaida’s followers are young, poor and relatively uneducated, Shukrijumah has been to college and is comfortable with technology. He’s also a naturalized U.S. citizen whose appearance would allow him to pass as Hispanic, Indian or Mideastern and who speaks English with no discernible accent, officials say.

That background makes Shukrijumah especially threatening, counterterrorism authorities say. He is dangerous “because he is so trusted in the organization and because he has traveled in the Western world and is familiar with its customs and procedures,” said Joseph Billy Jr., assistant FBI director for counter-terrorism.

Part of al-Qaida Stage 2

Shukrijumah, said Sajjan Gohel, director for international security at the London-based Asia-Pacific Foundation, is believed to be “the guy who was reared to replace (Mohammed),” as an al-Qaida senior trainer, facilitator and propagandist, playing a central role in the development of hundreds of the network’s future soldiers. “He is part of al-Qaida Stage 2,” Gohel said. His foundation consults on terrorism assessment for governments.

Shukrijumah has not been charged with a crime, but federal grand juries in Virginia and South Florida are hearing evidence about his activities.

Agents working on the investigation were reluctant to provide many details because of those probes, but the FBI does say that Shukrijumah trained at an al-Qaida camp in Afghanistan before Sept. 11. There, he learned to handle AK-47s, M-16s, Uzis and other automatic weapons and studied topography, communications, camouflage, clandestine surveillance and explosives, including C-4 plastic charges, dynamite and mines, they say.

The FBI believes Shukrijumah used that training to fight for the Taliban in Afghanistan.
Investigators also believe he was present at a meeting of al-Qaida leaders in March 2004 near the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, where attendees appear to have discussed upcoming terrorist operations in Europe and the United States.

But much of Shukrijumah’s life remains a mystery. And trying to find him has been a maze of false leads and vague glimmers.
The hunt for Adnan Shukrijumah began with a mysterious character called “the South American.”

A year after the Sept. 11 attacks, interrogators desperately were trying to determine what other plots might be in the works, and where.

While questioning an al-Qaida detainee in Pakistan, they got an intriguing lead. An operative known only as “the South American” had been discussing with al-Qaida leaders new ways of attacking U.S. citizens, including blowing up apartment buildings with natural gas and spraying people with cyanide in nightclubs, the prisoner said.

Authorities knew little about this person except that he was well trained by al-Qaida, connected to its top leadership and on the loose, perhaps plotting an attack on U.S. soil.
And their anxiety was growing. By early 2003, detainees held overseas and at the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, were telling interrogators that al-Qaida leaders had sent new terrorist operatives into the United States to launch follow-up attacks.

Unlike the Sept. 11 hijackers, the detainees said, these new teams included second-generation immigrant Muslims who had lived in the U.S., understood its customs and could operate under the radar of law enforcement.

When asked which operative was most likely to launch a U.S.-based attack, many captives mentioned one particular figure with an almost mythical reputation as a ruthless jihadist. His nom de guerre was Jaffar al Tayyar, a reference to an Islamic hero who had fought beside the prophet Muhammad.
But his identity, too, was a mystery.

Foreign-born, U.S.-educated

The pieces began to come together in early March when Mohammed was captured in Pakistan and his computers, phones and other electronic gear were seized.

The evidence confirmed that Mohammed had been sending “Westernized” al-Qaida soldiers on missions into the U.S. and other countries.
And when Mohammed was shown a photograph of Shukrijumah, he identified him as Tayyar, U.S. counterterrorism officials said.

By then, U.S. authorities were concluding that Shukrijumah was also the shadowy South American, an apparent reference to his time spent in Trinidad and nearby Guyana.
To their dismay, they realized that one of al-Qaida’s best-trained operatives had been lurking – and perhaps plotting – in the United States since long before the Sept. 11 attacks.
Adnan Gulshair Muhammad el Shukrijumah was born in June 1975 in either Saudi Arabia or Guyana. After his family moved from New York to Florida, he attended Broward Community College, where he excelled in chemistry, biology and computers, according to the FBI.

He also suffered from asthma, which required him to use an inhaler, his mother said in a recent interview. As a result, he often remained indoors, she said, tending to his studies, his computer business and his scholarly work.

Sometime in the late 1990s, Shukrijumah started leaning toward more radical Islamist views, authorities say. The FBI believes he was inspired by a group of Muslim men in South Florida who gave him books and videotapes about jihad in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kashmir and Afghanistan.

In late 1999, Shukrijumah began traveling to Pakistan and Afghanistan. To get into an al-Qaida training camp, he needed a sponsor. The FBI says Shukrijumah found one in Ismael Faiz of Lahore, Pakistan. U.S. officials believe Faiz is a member of al-Qaida and the Pakistani militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba, which has been connected to recent alleged terrorist plots in Canada and London.

After he started traveling to Pakistan and Afghanistan Shukrijumah began to change, say friends and associates interviewed by the FBI. He would take off for long periods, to places overseas he would not discuss.
“Every time he came back, he was a different person,” the FBI official said. “He was more calm, more cool and more purposeful in his actions.”

By 2001, the FBI was investigating Shukrijumah in connection with two suspected terrorist plots, one of which involved a group of militants who apparently were using South Florida as a base from which to recruit jihadists and finance attacks and assassinations in the Mideast.

But agents were never able to connect him to either plot. They later came to believe that he deliberately had been keeping his distance because, as one agent put it, “it was felt in the (al-Qaida) community that he was in for bigger and better things.”

After the Sept. 11 attacks, federal agents swarmed South Florida looking for clues and connections they might have missed. As many as 15 of the hijackers had spent their last months there, training for and planning the suicide mission.

The FBI ultimately took several of Shukrijumah’s acquaintances into custody on terrorism or immigration charges.
Agents also went looking for Shukrijumah. But by then, he was gone and had left few clues.

Chasing through cyberspace

When Shukrijumah re-emerged in the FBI’s consciousness in March 2003, Pasquale “Pat” D’Amuro, then the FBI’s senior counterterrorism official and a veteran al-Qaida tracker, felt an acute sense of dread.

“We thought he was a grave danger to the security of the United States,” D’Amuro recalled recently. “We thought he could be anywhere.”

On March 20, 2003, the same day the U.S. began bombing Iraq, the FBI went public. With TV news crews on their heels, more than 50 federal agents and local police descended on Shukrijumah’s neighborhood.

Armed with a warrant for his arrest as a material witness, FBI agents knocked on doors, showing photographs and asking whether he had been seen in Florida recently.
They scoured his mail, credit cards, bank records and phone bills.

By then, however, Shukrijumah had been away from his family home for almost two years. In the months before Sept. 11, he had traveled widely through the United States and Canada, scouting potential terrorist targets, say FBI officials, who believe he spent about a week each in New York, Washington, D.C., Chicago and Montreal.

Since the attacks, her son had called just once, to check in, Zuhrah Abdu Ahmed told the agents.
Ahmed, now a widow, conceded that it was possible her son might have fallen in with the wrong crowd.

“I recognize a lot of people do evil stuff in the name of the religion,” she said, and then paused. “He’s a young guy. Maybe they try to trap him, without he even knew what was going on around him. Who knows?”

The FBI also began chasing Shukrijumah through the back alleys of cyberspace. Within hours of the FBI’s public announcement, Shukrijumah might have given them a lead.
Just after midnight that day, an e-mail popped up in the guestbook section of MasterArabic.com, a Web site Shukrijumah had set up to promote his father’s Arabic tutoring business and Islamic teachings. Routed to obscure the identity of the sender, the message said only, “I am safe.”

Meanwhile, Shukrijumah continues to cause many a sleepless night.

Special Agent Andrew Lenzen, the lead case agent and a veteran of the FBI’s Miami counterterrorism squad, has amassed an encyclopedic knowledge of Shukrijumah’s actions and personality quirks. He has even compiled a timeline of his life, beginning with the day he was born.

“I know him almost like his mother,” said Lenzen. “I’ve lived, slept and dreamed him for the past three years.”

While this is not confirmed there is an active investigation ongoing. More sources on this story along with pictures of Shukrijumah here;

Insanity-US Funding One Terrorist Organization to Fight Another

Further Erosion of PA Boycott as PLO Account Set Up as Loophole
(IsraelNN.com)

Holland, Sweden and the United Arab Emirates have all decided to renew
funding to the Hamas-led Palestinian Authority. The countries are following the
lead of the United States, which authorized funding of the Fatah faction in the
PA through a PLO account set up by Fatah official Salem Fayyad.

US President George W. Bush announced Friday that he intends to deposit
$18.8 million into the new PLO account set up by Fayyad – ostensibly to help
Fatah fight Hamas. Hamas is not technically a member of the PLO.

If you agree with me that funding Muslim terrorists is an accursed outrage which must be opposed, then read, sign and propagate the on line petition reproduced below.

To: U.S. Congress

For fifty seven years, we were deceived; fooled by a veil of fabulism: the false claim that "Palestinians" only wanted a state of their own. Yassir Arafat spoke to our news media in English and to his Muslim Brothers in Arabic, and to us he said "peace"; to them he said "Jihad!", and we were foolish enough to believe.

Now HAMAS has won an election and will rule the "Palestinian Authority". There is no more room for fabulism or al-taqeyya. Let us take a clear eyed look at the HAMAS Charter.

"In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate You are the best community that has been raised up for mankind."

From which we learn that:

• HAMAS is Islam.


• HAMAS is rascist.
  

"Israel will rise and will remain erect until Islam eliminates it as it had eliminated its predecessors."

From which we learn that HAMAS intent toward Israel is policide.

"The Islamic Resistance Movement draws its guidelines from Islam; derives from it its thinking, interpretations and views about existence, life and humanity; refers back to it for its conduct; and is inspired by it in whatever step it takes." Can you tolerate Terrorism? HAMAS is terrorism! Islam is terrorism! Why should your taxes fund it?

"As the Movement adopts Islam as its way of life, its time dimension extends back as far as the birth of the Islamic Message and of the Righteous Ancestor. Its ultimate goal is Islam, the Prophet its model, the Qur'an its Constitution. Its special dimension extends wherever on earth there are Muslims, who adopt Islam as their way of life; thus, it penetrates to the deepest reaches of the land and to the highest spheres of Heavens." Is there anything wrong with HAMAS? Is there anything right with Islam?

"The time will not come until Muslims will fight the Jews (and kill them); until the Jews hide behind rocks and trees, which will cry: O Muslim! there is a Jew hiding behind me, come on and kill him! This will not apply to the Gharqad, which is a Jewish tree (cited by Bukhari and Muslim)."

Is there something more we need to know about HAMAS in order to condemn it?

"Allah is its goal, the Prophet its model, the Qur'an its Constitution, Jihad its path and death for the case of Allah its most sublime belief."

"The Islamic Resistance Movement believes that the land of Palestine has been an Islamic Waqf throughout the generations and until the Day of Resurrection, no one can renounce it or part of it, or abandon it or part of it. No Arab country nor the aggregate of all Arab countries, and no Arab King or President nor all of them in the aggregate, have that right, nor has that right any organization or the aggregate of all organizations, be they Palestinian or Arab, because Palestine is an Islamic Waqf throughout all generations and to the Day of Resurrection. Who can presume to speak for all Islamic Generations to the Day of Resurrection? This is the status [of the land] in Islamic Shari'a, and it is similar to all lands conquered by Islam by force, and made thereby Waqf lands upon their conquest, for all generations of Muslims until the Day of Resurrection. This [norm] has prevailed since the commanders of the Muslim armies completed the conquest of Syria and Iraq, and they asked the Caliph of Muslims, 'Umar Ibn al-Khattab, for his view of the conquered land, whether it should be partitioned between the troops or left in the possession of its population, or otherwise. Following discussions and consultations between the Caliph of Islam, 'Umar Ibn al-Khattab, and the Companions of the Messenger of Allah, be peace and prayer upon him, they decided that the land should remain in the hands of its owners to benefit from it and from its wealth; but the control of the land and the land itself ought to be endowed as a Waqf [in perpetuity] for all generations of Muslims until the Day of Resurrection. The ownership of the land by its owners is only one of usufruct, and this Waqf will endure as long as Heaven and earth last. Any demarche in violation of this law of Islam, with regard to Palestine, is baseless and reflects on its perpetrators." Is there any remaining doubt concerning HAMAS?

"[Peace] initiatives, the so-called peaceful solutions, and the international conferences to resolve the Palestinian problem, are all contrary to the beliefs of the Islamic Resistance Movement. For renouncing any part of Palestine means renouncing part of the religion; the nationalism of the Islamic Resistance Movement is part of its faith, the movement educates its members to adhere to its principles and to raise the banner of Allah over their homeland as they fight their Jihad: "Allah is the all-powerful, but most people are not aware.""

Is there some good cause why our tax funds should provide the material for even one bomb with which to murder innocent Jews, among whom are American citizens residing and touring? We, the undersigned now therefore demand that the United States Congress immediately terminate:

• all direct funding of HAMAS


• all direct and indirect funding of the "Palestinian Authority" which will now be ruled by HAMAS.


• all contributions, monitary and in goods or services to any and all U.N., charitable and non governmental organizations providing goods and or services to any and every entity under the control of or otherwise linked to the "Palestianian Authority" or to HAMAS.
  

We further demand that no such funding be resumed at this time or any future period. We further demand that no negotiation be entered into with HAMAS or with the "Palestinian Authority" either directly or through third parties.

The Man Behind Nuclear 9/11 Plan

I'm swiping this from Snooper. WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!

********************

This Man Leads Nuclear ‘9/11' Plan
Sunday, June 03, 2007 4:29 PM

He is the most wanted man in America yet most Americans have never heard his name.

He has been described as the "Fixer" of the Sept. 11 attacks. Several captured al-Qaida operatives have revealed this is the same man who bin Laden has tapped to lead the terror group's diabolical scheme to detonate nuclear devices simultaneously in several U.S. cities.

Meet Adnan el-Shukrijumah, now believed to be operating within the U.S. – a man the FBI warns is likely armed and dangerous.

"But no one on planet earth is more of a threat to the lives and well-being of every man, woman, and child within the United States than ferret-faced Adnan."

That's the dire warning from Paul L. Williams, author of his just released book "The Day of Islam: The Annihilation of America and the Western World." [Editor's Note: Get Paul Williams' explosive "The Day of Islam" FREE — Click Here Now.]

According to Williams, Adnan has not only been charged by al-Qaida with orchestrating a nuclear attack – he may have already smuggled nuclear material into America.

The U.S. government is offering a $5 million reward for information leading to his capture.

Ominously, Adnan "possesses the uncanny ability to blend into a crowd, to alter his looks, and to assume a multitude of identities," writes Williams, a seasoned investigative reporter and former FBI consultant.

"Few things about el-Shukrijumah indicate his radical Islamic orientation … He has been known to have a beer on occasion … to smoke an occasional Camel, and to carry rosary beads in his pocket …

"He is the proverbial Mr. Cellophane."

Adnan, 31, was born in Guyana, according to Williams, although the FBI believes he was born in Saudi Arabia. He spent his early years in New York City, where his father, a radical Muslim cleric, was the imam of a Brooklyn mosque known to serve as a recruiting station for al-Qaida.

In 1995, Adnan's family moved to Miramar, Fla., where Adnan's father became spiritual leader of a radical mosque. In Florida Adnan befriended Jose Padilla, who planned to detonate a dirty bomb in Manhattan, and Imran Mandhai, who was convicted of trying to blow up nuclear power plants in Florida.

Between 1996 and 2000, Adnan traveled extensively, spending time in Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Trinidad, Tobago and Guyana. He managed to collect passports from a number of countries, and began using at least five aliases.

Adnan also attended flight school in Florida and Oklahoma, along with Mohammad Atta and other 9/11 operatives, and became adept at piloting jets.

In April 2001, Williams disclosed, Adnan spent 10 days in Panama, where he reportedly met with al-Qaida officials to help plan the 9/11 attacks.

After the terrorist strikes, Adnan became a key figure in al-Qaida's plans to escalate its attacks on the U.S. Williams compiled evidence that Osama bin Laden designated him to arrange a simultaneous nuclear attack on seven U.S. cities – New York, Washington, Los Angeles, Houston, Miami, Boston and Las Vegas.

Williams believes Adnan then enrolled at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, site of a five-megawatt nuclear research reactor. Incredibly, Adnan was able to get a job as a guide at the reactor.

"Bit by bit, the al-Qaida operative allegedly managed to pilfer approximately 180 pounds of nuclear material from the university – enough to build several radiological bombs," Williams reports.

Adnan disappeared from the school in October 2003, several days before the nuclear material was reported missing. Alerted about Adnan's plans by a captured high-ranking al-Qaida official, Attorney General John Ashcroft and FBI director Robert Mueller issued a BOLO (be-on-the-lookout) alert for Adnan on March 21, 2004.

In the following months Adnan was spotted in Colorado, Pakistan, Honduras, Belize and Mexico.

In November 2004, another key al-Qaida operative was captured in Pakistan. He told interrogators that the terrorist group had arranged to smuggle nuclear supplies and tactical nuclear weapons into Mexico, then to transport them across the U.S. border with the aid of a Latino street gang. The gang was later identified as Mara Salvatrucha – a group Adnan at met with during his visit to Honduras.

"The gang has some form of presence in virtually every Hispanic community across the United States, and can offer al-Qaida unparalleled infiltration into any city in the country," according to a report from the Jamestown Foundation cited by Williams.

U.S. officials responded to the intelligence and began monitoring all heavy trucks crossing into the U.S. from Mexico, and Mexican officials vowed to keep close watch on flight schools and aviation facilities. Those precautions may have come to late, says Williams, who writes:

"A Piper PA Pawnee crop duster was stolen from Ejido Queretaro near Mexicali on November 1, 2004. The plane's tail number was XBCYP. The thieves, Mexican officials surmised, were either drug dealers or al-Qaida operatives, and clearly one was a highly trained pilot who met the description of Adnan el-Shukrijumah."
