Useful Fools

Islamofascists are engaged in a form of “viral” warfare against us. Their propaganda, internet sites, madrassas, their clerics in western mosques, theological scholarly writings and their planting of Islamist Imams in our prison system and military serve a dual purpose.

One is obvious - recruiting new members of organized terrorist cells.

The other is more subtle, and in some ways, more sinister: the viral creation of “loose cannon” terrorists - unaffiliated Islamist terrorists, a phenomenon called Sudden Jihad Syndrome by Daniel Pipes. These isolated Jihadis cause frequent terrorist attacks in the US and elsewhere, which are almost always mis-characterized by the media - probably out of their multi-culturalist instinct to not “create hysteria” against Muslims.

As a result of this media dishonesty, Americans are sadly under-informed about the threat of these increasingly dangerous viral terrorists.

A few of the “Unaffiliated Terrorist” events in the US include:

• March 1, 1999 - Abu Maizar was sentenced to life in New York City for a thwarted attempt to kill Jews by bombing a subway train in a Jewish area.
• July 4, 2002 - Barely-legal Egyptian immigrant Hadayet shot 6, wounding 2 at LAX El Al counter.
• October 2002 - The Beltway Snipers killed at least 10 people in a cross-country terror spree. One of the men, Muhammad, was a former member of the Islamic hate group, Nation of Islam. The other, Malvo, produced Islamist writings and drawings. Many other ties to Islamism have been found. While these psychopaths might have engaged in a murder spree in any case, certainly both were adherents to Islamist ideologiesm which provided convenient excuses for their actions. Mohammad was given a death sentence for engaging in terrorism.
• September 2005 - Four members of Assembly of Authentic Islam were indicted for a large scale terrorist plot against Jews in LA. These American Islamists were recruited in Folsom prison.
• March 3, 2006 - Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar and an Iranian immigrant struck 9 people with an SUV. He said he acted to ” avenge the deaths of Muslims around the world.”
• July 28, 2006 - Naveed Afzal Haq attacked the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle. He told a 9-11 operator “These are Jews. I’m tired of getting pushed around, and our people getting pushed around by the situation in the Middle East.”
• December 9, 2006 - Muslim convert Derrick Shareef, was arrested for attempting to buy hand grenades to use during the Christmas season at a Chicago-area shopping mall.

If you or I, or 6 Rabbis sat aboard a US airliner and started joking about bombs or 9-11, we would be apprehended and probably prosecuted.

6 Imams recently did worse - they engaged in alarming actions obviously intended to either cause a political incident, or test security measures - probing for weaknesses of use by Islamic terrorists, or most likely both.

One asked for a seatbelt extension he didn’t need, but which would make a handy weapon. They took seats on the aircraft most suitable for an attack. Some booked one-way tickets. Even though they had already performed their evening devotions in the lobby, they did them again on the aircraft - not usual Islamic practice. They publicly discussed Al Qaeda and Bin Laden.

To not prosecute these saboteurs sends the message that our politically correct multiculturalism is still hobbling our defenses against those who wouldl kill us. At the very least, they should be permanently denied air transport.
If you want to find those paving the way to our defeat in the war on terrorism, look no farther than these people and those who defend them (especially CAIR, the Islamic terrorist’s best friend).

These men were not “victims, engaging in their constitutionally guaranteed religious freedoms,” but agents of international jihad.
