Actual Number of Muslim Terrorists

I would like to give a hat tip to LJWorld.com for the post Not All Muslims Are Radicals. It was the starting point for what I am about to write here.

First, I'd like to start off with why this information is so important.  Well, CNN did a study in 2009 that showed that nearly 1 out 4 people in the world are Muslim (Nearly 1 in 4 people worldwide is Muslim, report says).  According to the article, and I suggest you read the entire thing, it's quite eye-opening, they represent 23% of the world's population (at the time there were a mere 6.8 billion people in the world). The world clock estimates that there are 7,016,727,724 people in the world currently.  I like round numbers, so 7 billion will suffice.  Using the above numbers there are about 1.61 muslims in the world today. 

 Four years ago Gallup completed a six year study on Muslims.  The researchers were pro-muslim.  The Weekly Standard wrote about it in the article Just Like Us! Really?.  Gallup's goal was to figure out how many Muslims were radical.  On a scale of 1 to 5, with five being the most radical, or "politically radicalized" as the study refers to them.  Accordian to the scale, 7% of Muslims are "politically radicalized".  They felt that the 9/11 attacked were "completely justified" and view the U.S. unfavorably.  There is no way to change their minds.  I figure that the terrorists who would be suicide bomber types and the oh so loving parents who would strap a bomb onto their six year old and send them out into a market place to be unwilling human bombs would be in that category.

Okay 7% of the 1.61 billion muslims fall into the most "politically radicalized".  That would be a bit over 112,700,000 extreme radicals in the world.  These people truly hate the Western civilization.  To give some way to grasp that number, the current population in the U.S. is 313,641,672.  An equivalent of 36% of the U.S. population is the same number as the number of extreme radicals in the world.


Let's look at some state populations (List of U.S. States and Territories by Population):
California 37,691,912
Texas 25,674,681
New York 19,465,197
Florida 19,057,542
Michigan 9,876,197
Montana 998,199

Total population = 112,763,728.

Now, according to the same studies, the 4's felt that the 9/11 attacks were "justified".  The 4's are just your regular run-of-the-mill "radicals".  I guess these people would kill someone else but wouldn't quite kill themself for 30 virgins.  I'm sure they do a bit of financing and possibly training.  There was another 7% who were 4's.  That means another 112,700,000 muslims, another 36% of the population of the United States, who are "radical".

Total of "politically radicalized" and "radicals" is the equivalent of 72% of the American population who are radical (approx. 225,400,000 people).

Let's add some more states by population:
Illinois 12,869,257
Pennsylvania 12,742,886
Ohio 11,544,951
Georgia 9,815,210
North Carolina 9,656,401
New Jersey 8,821,155
Virginia 8,096,604
Washington 6,830,038
Massachusetts 6,587,536
Indiana 6,516,922
Arizona 6,482,505
Tennessee 6,403,353
Missouri 6,010,688
1/2 of Vermont 313,216

Total population of new states = 112,690,722

Total of all states listed 225,454,450

But WAIT!  It gets better!  Also according to the Gallup study, 36% of Muslims responded that 9/11 was at least "some way justified".  I'm going so say that these people make up the cheering section.  They are just as dangerous because deep down they agree with what is going on.  In politics we refer to these people as the "silent majority" or "silent minority".  Either way, they support the terrorist attacks at least somewhat.  They are the ones who will say to your face muslim jihad is wrong, but behind your back ... who knows.  I wouldn't trust them, that's for sure.  I mean, would you count some one friendly if they felt it was "some way justified" for a stranger to kill your loved one in a random attack to fulfill some religious jihad?!  They are as much terrorists as the terrorists themselves (okay, I'll TRY being P.C. and call them "terrorist sympathizers" instead).  I mean, I may not run the football for a touchdown, but I'm definitely a Cheesehead!  See my point?


Okay, 36% of 1.6 billion muslims is 576,000,000.  The population of the entire North Continent is "nearly 529 million" (North America).  You can read the list of the 49 sovereign and dependent states and territories on the North American Continent here.  But we're still short 47,000,000 million so I'll add the populations of Columbia and Martinique to complete the pretty picture of the muslims who thought 9/11 was at least "some way justified".

Not scare yet?  Still think there isn't a "muslim problem"?  Okay, let's combine the "politically radicalized", the "radicals", and the "terrorist sympathizers".  All in all, a full 50% of muslims are terrorists.


That means, according to a six year study by pro-muslims for Gallup, that 805,000,000 ... or roughly 9% ... of the world's population are muslim terrorists.

That is the equivalent population for all of Europe and all of Oceania combined plus South Africa (Europe and Oceania were 43,000,000 people short!  Here's a full list of the countries in Europe and Oceania:

Eastern Europe:

Belarus, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Ukraine

Northern Europe:

Denmark, Estonia, Faroe Islands, Finland, Iceland, Ireland, Isle of Man, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Svalbard, Sweden, United Kingdom

Southern Europe:

Albania, Andorra, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Gibraltar, Greece, Holy See (Vatican City), Italy, Kosovo, Macedonia, Malta, Montenegro, Portugal, San Marino, Serbia, Slovenia, Spain

Western Europe:

Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Guernsey, Jersey, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Monaco, Netherlands, Switzerland

Oceania

Australia and New Zealand:

Australia, New Zealand, Norfolk Island

Melanesia:

Fiji, New Caledonia, Papua, New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu

Micronesia:

Federated States of Micronesia, Guam, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Northern Mariana Islands, Palau

Polynesia:

American Samoa, Cook Islands, French Polynesia, Niue, Pitcairn, Samoa, Tokelau, Tonga, Tuvalu, Wallis and Futuna

As an added note, there are 2,600,000 muslims in the United States as of the 2010 census.  According to the statistics from Gallup, 364,000 of them are terrorist and another 936,000 support them.  That means you don't want to turn your back on 50% of them.  You never know which muslim they might be.

Does this make me an "Islamaphobe" (definition:  prejudice against, hatred or irrational fear of Islam or Muslims)?  No.  What it makes me is a person who is less afraid of being "politically correct" and more concerned with actual FACTS.  And as a person armed with facts, I don't trust muslims.   And if you do, you're a frigging idiot!!

Sleep easy tonight.

AWOL Soldier, Arrested With Weapons, Explosives Near Fort Hood, Police Allege

Less than two years after an Army officer killed 13 people in a shooting attack on Fort Hood, police have reportedly arrested an AWOL soldier with weapons and explosives near the base in Killeen, Tex.


Officers from the Killeen Police Department apprehended a man alleged to have been in possession of firearms and bomb-making materials after authorities received a tip about a suspicious individual, Fox News reports.

I think one of the best twists to this story is that he was in the process of being discharged as "a conscientious objector" because his religion, but they discovered child pornography on his military laptop.

Anyway, I'm guessing that his name isn't Fred Rogers and he isn't a Presbyterian minister...

The idiots who burned the Quran in Florida are just that, idiots. However, I must say that there is a far cry difference between the muzzies rioting in Afghanistan over the burning of A SINGLE QURAN and their response to muzzies desecrating the Bible.

The Underwear Bomber, Mearly a Diversion

While the government is spending untold amounts of money installing body scanners and enforcing invasive pat downs at the airports, they are failing to focus their attention where we are REALLY vulnerable.

The makers of the body scanners have said that the Underwear Bomber would NOT have been caught using one of the scanners and he also would NOT have been caught with the new pat downs either. That bit of information aside, I'm not even a terrorist, but after researching the scanners for just 45 minutes, it's obvious that that these new techniques aren't going to stop anyone who really wants to take down a plane. I mean, come on, more than 50% of the cargo isn't inspected, and of the cargo that IS inspected, most of it is minimal.

I think that the Underwear Bomber was never truly meant to work. It didn't take down an airplane, but it sure did stir up heated debate and have everyone, including the U.S. Government, spending their time spinning their wheels over airline safety. People have reacted exactly as the terrorists wanted us to.

Look, it's simple psychology. CHILD psychology. Any parent who stops to think about it for 3 seconds understands exactly what I mean. It's like starting a fire in a couple trash cans so while everyone is outside looking at the fire trucks and commotion, the thieves can slip into a few houses unnoticed and slip out with a few pocket sized items.

I'm telling you that if the terrorists wanted to take down another plane they would have done it already. I'm not saying they WON'T do it again, but they're not going to until we've calmed down. They want to totally disrupt our way of life and strip us of our freedoms.

And they have.

They win.

Now follow me on this one, while they have everyone focusing on the body scanners, just what do you think THEY'RE doing? Laughing at us and planning. There's going to be another attack and it won't be the airlines. We are SO vulnerable in so many places that we can't secure even if we spent 100% of our tax dollars on it. Don't believe me? Let me name just a few for you: the grocery store, the mall, the public parks, churches. What? You think these guys couldn't EASILY strap bombs to themselves and walk into these places? How about public buses? the subways in New York? No body scanners or pat downs there and there never could be.

In San Diego, they just discover THE LARGEST bomb supply cache ever in the history of the United States. Anyone truly think that is the only one?! That's right, while we're all worried about the government forcing us to either pose for Government Playboy or be sexually assaulted, THEY'RE planning the real attacks.

And those are the ones that will cripple us.

I also like to take a moment to, to put the loss of life on 9/11 in perspective. I want to share a few stats with you to prove just how much we are over reacting. Mind you, I'm not belittling the 9/11 attacks or the diminishing the loss of life in them. I just want us to think.

Since and including 9/11, just under 3,100 Americans have been killed by terrorist attacks. NOT including 9/11, less than 100 Americans have been the victims of terrorists.

From 2001-2008, the number of alcohol related fatalities in car accidents is 130,803. So with 2 FEWER years, for every 1 American killed by terrorists, 42.2 have been killed due to alcohol related car accidents. It's an average of 16,350 deaths per year. It's the equivalent of 43.6 Sept 11th attacks. It's one person every 45 minutes.

Got that?

Absorb it yet?

While 9/11 WAS atrocious, we need to keep in mind that in the same year, 17,400 people were killed in alcohol related accidents. That's 580%.

It's all been a diversion to get us looking in the wrong direction and KEEP us looking in the wrong direction. The REAL attack is quietly being planned and carried out right under our noses. Best if we stopped thinking and acting like panicked animals and start using that grey mass between our ears.

Peace Out,

Man Arrested in Alleged Washington Metro Terror Plot

(Oct. 27) -- A Pakistani-born U.S. citizen was arrested today for allegedly plotting a series of bomb attacks on Metrorail stations in the Washington, D.C., area, federal officials said.

Farooque Ahmed, 34, of Ashburn, Va., is accused of providing material assistance to people he believed to be affiliated with al-Qaida, the Department of Justice said.

He believed they were planning a series of attacks on Metro stations in 2011, the Justice Department said.

Muslim Demographics - Time to break out the burqa's

"The fall in the German population can no longer be stopped. It's downward spiral is no longer reversible... It will be a Muslim state by 2050." -- Germany Federal Statistics Office

"There are signs that Allah will grant victory to Islam in Europe without swords, without guns, without conquest. We don't need terrorist's, we don't need homicide bombers. The 50+ million Muslims [in Europe] will turn it into a Muslim continent within a few decades." -- Muammar Abu Minyar al-Gaddafi of Libya

"We must prepare ourselves for the reality that in 30 years there will be 50,000,000 Muslims living in America." -- Islamic Strategy Conference, Chicago

The Catholic church has said that there are now more Muslims than Catholics.

In the Freaking News ... Heaven Help Us ...

'JihadJane' Charged With Recruiting Terrorists Online

"PHILADELPHIA (March 10) -- The self-described "Jihad Jane" who thought her blond hair and blue eyes would let her blend in as she sought to kill an artist in Sweden is a rare case of an American woman aiding foreign terrorists and shows the evolution of the global threat, authorities say."

Oh heaven help me! Now they have an excuse to harrass me at the airport...

LaRose is a convert to Islam who actively recruited others, including at least one unidentified American, and her online messages expressed her willingness to become a martyr and her impatience to take action, according to the indictment and the U.S. official.

I've said it! She may be a blue eyed blond ... BUT SHE'S ANOTHER FREAKING MUSLIM!

And on to self-absorbed full of herself Hollywood, sometimes I'm gay, sometimes I'm NOT stone or drunk, washed up starlet Liiiiiiindsay Loooooooohan.

Lindsay Lohan Reportedly Suing E-Trade for Ad

Lindsay Lohan is reportedly suing the financial company E-Trade, insisting that the company's new commercial about a boyfriend-stealing, "milkaholic" baby -- who happens to be named Lindsay -- was modeled after her. Lohan reportedly wants $100 million, The NY Post reports. Lohan's lawyer, Stephanie Ovadia, told the newspaper that the actress has the same single-name recognition as Oprah or Madonna. "Many celebrities are known by one name only, and E-Trade is using that knowledge to profit," Ovadia said.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! SERIOUSLY?! She thinks she's up there with MADONNA and OPRAH?! This brat has so fried her brain. She's delusional!

In the ad, a baby boy apologizes to his girlfriend via video chat for not calling her the night before. The suspicious girlfriend asks, "And that milkaholic Lindsay wasn't over?""Lindsay?" the boy replies, just before a baby girl sticks her head into the frame and slurs, "Milk-a-what?"

"They used the name Lindsay," Ovadia said. "They're using her name as a parody of her life. Why didn't they use the name Susan? This is a subliminal message. Everybody's talking about it and saying it's Lindsay Lohan."

And who's fault is it, exactly, that her life COULD be used a parady to begin with?! Personally, I never thought of Liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiindsy Loooooooooooohan, when *I* saw the commercial.

And why not use the name "Susan"? How about "Sarandon"? That came to me right away. I guess that ALL actors, actresses, and sniveling Hollywood types should get excluuuuuuuuusive right to their name ... kinda like how McDonald's thinks they own anything that starts with "Mc" ...

According to the NY Post, Ovadia said, "E-Trade has violated Lohan's rights under New York state civil-rights law and used her 'name and characterization' in business without paying her or getting her approval."

Aaaaah, I understand. Her self acclaimed "characterization" is that of a boyfriend stealing milk-a-holic ... Last I heard she was a muff diving, same sex oriented, sober, and clean young actress with her act together.

Guess not.

Scratching my blue-eyed blond head...

I thought that electing Obama would make the world love us...

Bin Laden Threatens More Attacks on US

CAIRO (Jan. 24) - Osama bin Laden claimed responsibility for the failed attempt to bomb a Detroit-bound airliner on Christmas in a new audio message released Sunday threatening more attacks on the United States.

However, a senior U.S. intelligence official in Washington said there is "no evidence whatsoever" that the al-Qaida leader had any involvement in the plot or even knew about it in advance. So the message indicates bin Laden may want to appear in direct command of the terror group's affiliates around the world at a time when some analysts have suggested he is mostly a figurehead.

Yeah, there's no WAY Obama's administration is going to admit an attempted terrorist attack on his watch. If a conservative were in office it would be a foregone FACT as far as the left was concerned.

In the minute-long recording released to al-Jazeera Arabic news channel, bin Laden addressed President Barack Obama saying the recent attempt was meant to send a message similar to that of the Sept. 11 attacks."The message delivered to you through the plane of the heroic warrior Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was a confirmation of the previous messages sent by the heroes of the Sept. 11," he said. "America will never dream of security unless we will have it in reality in Palestine," he added.

"God willing, our raids on you will continue as long as your support for the Israelis continues."

Can you just FEEL the LOVE?!

Apparently another terrorist cell out of Yemin is also claiming the attempt as coming from them. Either way, it has emboldened terrorists all over the world.

Tell me again, you Leftists, how safe this country is under the talented SPEECH GIVER Obama.

In the News - Part Two - The Airline Security Joke

Last on my list ... and deserving of its OWN post!

New security measures being considered, and at some airports used, by the TSA. Pat downs of passengers may become a standard practice. It is estimated to increase your pre-flight arrival time from one hour to three. While I relish the idea of being felt up by another woman in a public place with a few hundred onlookers, the reality is that smokin-hot, pregnant, blue-eyed, blonde knockouts, wearing blue jeans, $300 boots, a $65 hat and a cross AREN'T exactly known for their jihadist activities.

Now I'm going out on a limb here, but I'm willing to wager a dollar to a dime that there isn't a single terrorist out there that's a huge Charlie Daniels fan. Devil may have gone down to Georgia, but he didn't hijack a plane and fly it into a building on the way.

If you're dressed like this, you're good.
God bless Charlie Daniels!
So having ruled out smokin-hot, pregnant, blue-eyed, blonde knockouts and country loving, red necked Charlie Daniels fans as potential threats, I think there may be a few OTHER groups we can rule out as well. For example, the Amish. You could smack these people in the side of the head with a 2x4 and they won't hit you back. I think it's fairly safe to say that they aren't interested in taking down an airplane. Mennonites, may use colored fabric for their dresses and buttons, drive cars, use electricity, but they're non-violent as well. Safe.

Jews. Definitely NOT jihadists.

Atheists wouldn't do ANYTHING in the name of God because they don't believe He exists. Agnostics couldn't care less if God exists one way or the other. Neither of these groups are big recruitment/breeding grounds for jihadist activities.

Wiccans are pretty much into sending "positive energy" into the universe, as are those believers of various Eastern Religions (Indians, Asians). And to clarify "Indians", I mean those from India. However, I don't think that Native Americans spend too much time planning out terror attacks either. They're pretty big into good energies as well.

Witches would cast a spell, not build a bomb.

Hispanics and Italians may be involved in gangs, or the glorified "mob", but they're more about taking out people who interfere with their "activities" and people who get in their way. Yeah, their gangs can wreak havoc on innocent people, they're to blame for a good amount of crime, and it costs the taxpayers money, but they're all Catholic. Catholics aren't exactly notorious for jihads. In fact, I can't remember a single plane hijacking/bomb/terrorist threat to the U.S. from the Catholics. And gangsters are really into self-preservation. They might pop a cap in your ass, but they sure as sugar aren't going to kill themselves in an effort to kill other people for the purposed of proving a point.

Our group already pretty much includes most white males, but we did have the unibomber. So I guess anti-social white males who are skittish and suspicious might have to be considered. But those are few are far between. Most white males traveling by plane are with their family or on the cell phone conducting business. So I'd have to say that the overwhelming majority of white males are also safe. And let's face it, with all of the predominately white countries and people out there, how many white guys have hijacked/blown up airplanes going to the U.S.? Not saying it's never happened, but the security issues enacted are because of terrorist activities that WEREN'T carried out by white people.

Let's see who is on our list of groups NOT known for hijacking airliners:

smokin-hot, pregnant, blue-eyed, blonde knockouts
Charlie Daniels fans
Amish
Mennonites
Jews
Atheists
Agnostics
Wiccans
Witches
Indians
Asians
Native Americans
Hispanics
Italians
Catholics
overwhelming majority of white people

Let's.
Figure.
Out.
Who's.
Left.

Well, to help out the idiots who may stumble onto this post, let's take a look at the faces of the 9/11 hijackers, shall we?

Here are their names:
American Airlines Flight 11
Hijackers: Mohamed Atta al Sayed (Egyptian), Waleed al-Shehri (Saudi Arabian), Wail al-Shehri (Saudi Arabian), Abdulaziz al-Omari (Saudi Arabian), Satam al-Suqami (Saudi Arabian).

United Airlines Flight 175
Hijackers: Marwan al-Shehhi (from the United Arab Emirates), Fayez Banihammad (from the United Arab Emirates), Mohand al-Shehri (Saudi Arabian), Hamza al-Ghamdi (Saudi Arabian), Ahmed al-Ghamdi (Saudi Arabian).

American Airlines Flight 77
Hijackers: Hani Hanjour (Saudi Arabian), Khalid al-Mihdhar (Saudi Arabian), Majed Moqed (Saudi Arabian), Nawaf al-Hazmi (Saudi Arabian), Salem al-Hazmi (Saudi Arabian).

United Airlines Flight 93
Hijackers: Ziad Jarrah (Lebanese), Ahmed al-Haznawi (Saudi Arabian), Ahmed al-Nami (Saudi Arabian), Saeed al-Ghamdi (Saudi Arabian).

Anyone notice the the common threads? Yup. All Arabs. Yup. All Muslims.

I delayed until now to discuss the blacks because we do have a gray area here. There are Arabs who look black. Plus, there ARE a growing number of blacks that are joining a certain religion that DOES promote jihad. So they might warrant a second look if they're carrying a koran or if their name includes "Mohamed" or, I don't know, "HUSSEIN", as in Barrack HUSSEIN Obama.

Having gone through our list of people who AREN'T threats to airliners and having identified the ONE group that IS, I'd like to say that the U.S. government is wasting our time! They're so damned afraid of offending the group of people the terrorists are coming from that they are choosing to offend us all.

And I'm freaking tired of it!

If they didn't waste time pulling random names from passenger lists, like happened to my NINE-YEAR-OLD SON, and asking for identification ("Hey, son, whip out your driver's license. While you're at it, show the idiot your hospital ID tag as well. You're a real life Doogie Howser and I'm mighty proud!"), they could possibly pay more attention to the people the REAL threat comes from.
Our son. We're so proud!
I don't mind going through the metal detector and I don't mind having my bags scanned, but not being allowed to bring my own snacks and bottle of water and being forced to pay $15 for a sandwich, chips and glorified bottled TAP water (ie, Dansani) because there might be explosives hidden in the bologna, gets to me. WHITE WOMEN AREN'T BLOWING UP AIRPLANES, YOU STUPID DUNG HOLES!

Putting all of us through such invasion security measures as pat downs, and such annoying and ass-backwards security measures as showing your ID, twice, because your name was "randomly selected" makes as much sense as searching the house of a black family because someone down the street has a cross burned on their front yard.

So I say that every Muslim or Arab who flies should show up three hours early and be prepared for a freaking cavity search should security deem it necessary (that's all the pat downs will do, force them to hide the goods somewhere you can't feel it in a pat down). That goes double for any woman wearing a bag for a dress and another for a head covering and for any man traveling with a woman wearing a bag for a dress and another for a head covering. THOSE are the people involved in jihadist activities. THOSE are the people sneaking on bombs and weapons. THOSE are the people who pose a threat.

STOP WASTING MY TIME, MY MONEY, MY ENERGY! MOST OF ALL STOP BEING PASCIFYING PANSIES, GROW SOME BALLS AND CALL A SPADE A SPADE! THE MUSLIMS ARE THE THREAT! NOT THE REST OF US!

And if any Muslims out there doesn't like it, then stop the terrorists yourself. Too many of you know who the whack jobs are. You know who the radicals are. You know which mosques across the world are recruiting. So do something about it and stop being whiney freaking crybabies!

Until then, drop your pants and bend over. There's something they need to check you for!

Champions!!!

It's been a while since I've done a Champion post. This woman definitely deserves this as well as the women who are protesting the court in solidarity for her. They are quite literally putting their lives on the line.

CHAMPION

for standing up against misogyny and for standing up for women's freedom and rights in oppressive governments

Lubna-Ahmed al-Hussein is a journalist with the United Nations Mission in Sudan. She, along with eleven other women were arrest for wearing "indecent clothing" at a public restaurant. And what was she wearing? A loose-fitting top, headscarf and green slacks. Ten of the women have already accepted their punishment of 10 lashes.

Lubna-Ahmed will not accept that. She wore the same outfit to court and was sentenced to 40 lashes. She plans to appeal (and wear the outfit to court again).

"If I'm sentenced to be whipped, or to anything else, I will appeal. I will see it through to the end, to the constitutional court if necessary," Hussein said. "And if the constitutional court says the law is constitutional, I'm ready to be whipped not 40 but 40,000 times."

She is trying to have the law repealed (***The Sudan is muslim, right? Long live the religion of peace.***).

The most amazing part of this story is that she waived her immunity as a U.N. worker to fight for the rights of women in Sudan. She said that thousand of women have been flogged over the last twenty years for their clothing, but they fear coming forward and making this a known to the world because of possible retribution.

She is an incredibly brave woman. And I will keep her in my prayers.

More Champions of the Cause

Police Beat Women Opposing Sudan Dress Code Trial

KHARTOUM, Sudan — Sudanese police fired tear gas and beat women protesting outside a Sudanese court Tuesday during the trial of a female journalist accused of violating the Islamic dress code by wearing trousers in public.

In the clashes outside the courtroom, witnesses said police wielding batons beat up one of Hussein's lawyers, Manal Awad Khogali, while keeping media and cameras at bay. No injuries were immediately reported.

The case has drawn criticism from the United Nations. The U.N. Staff Union urged authorities last week not to flog Hussein, calling the punishment cruel, inhuman and degrading.

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said he was "deeply concerned" about Hussein's case and said flogging was a violation of international human rights standards.

Why EVERY mosque should be infiltrated...

investigated, wire tapped, and anything else our intelligence agencies are capable of!

Here is a heartbreaking story about a set of parents who discovered the death of their son on the Internet. Pictures of the young man with a bullet through is his were posted online for the world to see. He was a naturalized Somalian immigrant.

He was also one of several young Somalian immigrant youths who disappeared and would up in Somalia. ALL were involved in a youth center at THE SAME MOSQUE. ALL went on to fight in a terrorist group linked to al-qaida.

And there is reason for all of us to be concerned... It is believed that some of the youth may have been trained TO CARRY OUT TERRORIST ATTACKS IN THE UNITED STATES!

Excerpts:

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (July 24) - Abayte Ahmed and her husband learned of their son's death in the most heinous fashion. A family acquaintance called and told them to click on an Internet site. There on the screen were photographs of their 20-year-old son -- the boy with the movie-star looks -- shot through the head thousands of miles away in Somalia.

Jamal Bana died in Somalia. Several missing Somali-Americans are believed to have fought there.

"He must have been somewhat disillusioned and indoctrinated, because he didn't have any clue about Somalia at all," his mother said, fighting back tears and barely able to speak about her eldest son.

The FBI said Bana's death is part of a sweeping federal investigation into a recruiting effort in the United States by a Somali terrorist group called Al-Shabaab, which has ties to al Qaeda. More than a dozen young men of Somali descent have disappeared from the Minneapolis area in recent months. At least three, including Bana, have ended up dead in Somalia, community leaders say.

One of the missing youth, Shirwa Ahmed, 27, blew up himself and 29 others last fall in Somalia in what is believed to be the first suicide bombing carried out by a naturalized U.S. citizen. Ahmed had traveled from Minneapolis. The attack raised red flags throughout the U.S. intelligence community and sparked an investigation by the FBI.

Just weeks ago, community activist Abdirizak Bihi lost his 17-year-old nephew, Burhan Hassan, in Somalia. Asked if his nephew had been kidnapped from Minneapolis, Bihi said, "They kidnap them in the sense of mental kidnapping, not physically. But they play a male role of mentor."

Bihi and community leader Omar Jamal said they hold one place at least loosely responsible: the Abubakar as-Saddique Islamic Center, the largest mosque in Minneapolis.

"All these kids missing, they all have one thing in common: They all participated in youth programs in that mosque," said Jamal.

Jamal and Bihi said leaders of the mosque, at the very least, allowed people to come around their facility and recruit young men to fight in Somalia -- a charge the head imam denies...

"This is the baseless accusation really," said Sheikh Abdirahman Sheikh Omar Ahmed. "The mosque -- the mission of the mosque -- is to worship. And people come to worship and go. We don't have any control over what comes through everybody's mind or ideology."

Federal authorities recently made their first arrests in the case, charging two Minnesota men, Salah Osman Ahmed and Abdifatah Yusuf Isse, with one count each of providing material support to terrorists and conspiracy to kill, kidnap, maim or injure people overseas, according to the indictment.

CNN could not reach Salah Osman Ahmed's attorney for comment. Published reports indicate he planned to plead not guilty. Isse has pleaded guilty and is cooperating with federal authorities, officials said. In court papers obtained by CNN, Isse's attorney said, "Mr. Isse will not be the last defendant indicted."

A local attorney involved in the case said at least seven Somali-Americans have been questioned by a grand jury. An FBI official said the bureau cannot rule out the possibility that some of the young men involved could be trained to carry out terrorist attacks on U.S. soil. I absolutely LOVE how the head imam said that they aren't responsible for what goes through everyone's mind. I just wonder how well that would go over if several youth members of my Christian church were to get involved in a terror cell associate with al-qaida... I wonder if my minister could simply say, "Hey, lots of people come worship here. I can't control what is said or put into the minds of our youth..."

You know what the difference would be? Christians and churches all over this country would create a deafening roar for investigation. They'd WANT it shut down and would make it quite clear.

Waiting to hear a roar about this instance, or any other, from the muslims in this country...

Peace Out,
