DHS guidelines advise deference to pro-shariah Muslim supremacists

Just like the IRS.

via The Daily Caller, Homeland Security: Respect pro-Shariah Muslim supremacists. (as if there were anti-sharia Muslim supremacists)

The Department of Homeland Security, which under Secretary Janet Napolitano has shown a keen interest in monitoring and warning about outspoken conservatives, takes a very different approach in monitoring political Islamists, according to a 2011 memo on protecting the free speech rights of pro-Shariah Muslim supremacists.

Political Islamists? Are there non-political Islamists? More redundancy and linguistic gymnastics to describe followers of Islam.

In a checklist obtained by The Daily Caller entitled “Countering Violent Extremism Dos and Don’ts” the DHS’s Office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties notifies local and national law enforcement officials that it is Obama administration policy to consider specifically Islamic criticism of the American system of government legitimate.

This policy stands in stark contrast to the DHS Office of Intelligence and Analysis’ 2009 memo “Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment” [pdf], which warned of the dangers posed by pro-life advocates, critics of same-sex marriage and groups concerned with abiding by the U.S. Constitution, among others.

DHS CRCL CVE Training – Dos and Donts

…

The checklist also advised against using moderate Muslim “trainers who are self-professed ‘Muslim reformers’” because they “may further an interest group agenda instead of delivering generally accepted, unbiased information.”

The Homeland Security document also seems to discount evidence unearthed by the Justice Department about the aims of some mainstream Muslim organizations, warning law enforcement not to rely on “unsubstantiated theories” and “conspiracies,” such as the belief that “many mainstream Muslim organizations have terrorist ties” or are “fronts for Islamic political organizations whose true desire is to establish Sharia law in America.”

The manual advises trainees not to assume Muslim Americans are “using democratic processes, like litigation and free speech, to subvert democracy and install Sharia law.”

In fact, the Justice Department proved that some very prominent Muslim organizations do have terror ties in a 2009 case and that they share the Muslim Brotherhood’s goal of Shariah law. “The government has produced ample evidence to establish the associations of CAIR [Council on American-Islamic Relations], ISNA [Islamic Society of North America], NAIT [North American Islamic Trust], with the Islamic Association for Palestine, and with Hamas,” U.S. District Court Judge Jorge Solis said in the July 1, 2009 ruling.

Tim Clemente, a former FBI agent who hunted Anwar Al-Awlaki and who has worked with Muslims to help stop terrorist plots, told The Daily Caller the government overdoes its sensitivity. Clemente says that the Muslim community “needs a realization, not necessarily a reformation,” that only it can stop terrorist attacks.

Read it all and closely examine the DHS memo linked at Daily Caller.

Keen eyes will immediately note some of the absurd recommendations, particularly the don’ts such as:

Of course not, why would anyone who wants to counter violent extremism want to “venture too deep into the weeds of religious doctrine and history” particularly when Muslim jihadists – the impetus for creating DHS – cite religious doctrine as their justification.

And agree with him or not, Zudhi Jasser seems to be on to something when he tweets:

Maybe he looked at the links at the bottom of the memo:

The LA Sheriff’s Dept (if anyone, TrentoVision?, can get that video we’d love to see and post it). See LA Sheriff Lee Baca’s multiple Muslim Outreach programs

The MPAC. See Salam Al- Marayati Head Of Terror Supporting MPAC To Be Panelist At DHS Conference

The Homeland Security Advisory Council. See DHS: Napolitano Swears in Freedom and Justice Foundation President and Chief Executive Officer Mohamed Elibiary to Homeland Security Advisory Council. The Muslim Brotherhood also uses the Freedom and Justice name.

It becomes quite clear why the government cannot protect its citizens: it doesn’t want to.

IRS building “largest personal information database the government has ever attempted”

Off the general topic here but absolutely critical for all Americans to know about and start demanding answers as our privacy and rights are stolen by a corrupt government. The targeting has just begun.  via Your Next IRS Political Audit – WSJ.com.

To monitor compliance with these [Obamacare] rules, the IRS and HHS are now building the largest personal information database the government has ever attempted. Known as the Federal Data Services Hub, the project is taking the IRS’s own records (for income and employment status) and centralizing them with information from Social Security (identity), Homeland Security (citizenship), Justice (criminal history), HHS (enrollment in entitlement programs and certain medical claims data) and state governments (residency).

The data hub will be used as the verification system for ObamaCare’s complex subsidy formula. All insurers, self-insured businesses and government health programs must submit reports to the IRS about the individuals they cover, which the IRS will cross-check against tax returns.

Good luck in advance to anyone who gets caught in this system’s gears, assuming it even works. Centralizing so much personal information in one place is another invitation for the IRS wigglers in some regional office—or maybe higher up—to make political decisions about enforcement.

The original 61-page application for ObamaCare subsidies (since junked) asked about voter registration and invited beneficiaries to sign up then and there. What does that have to do with affordable health care?

And how long before voter registration is slipped backed in? Will they have a category for patriots? Islamophobes? Will they audit them or deny services and care or charge higher premiums? Repeal it.

Reread “They Thought They Were Free” and send it to any American who tells you we live in the Land of the Free.

Updates:

For those who might be fooled into thinking Obama fired the acting chief of the IRS so things are now fixed, the targeting has just begun: IRS official in charge during Tea Party targeting now runs IRS Obamacare office.

So, Yes, Your Private Health Information Will Be Used Against You.

And apparently Obama didn’t actually fire anyone at the IRS, Chief Steven Miller told IRS employees via email, he would only be leaving next month because his assignment would be over.

 

Losing our liberty for govt claims of safety from terrorism

As we noted back in April, the only certain result from the Boston jihad bombings would be more loss of freedom for Americans. It’s happening quickly and the sheeple keep grazing on iPhones, Facebook and Obama Stamps.

Security for large Boston events is toughened

Authorities are carefully review­ing security measures for the July Fourth celebration in light of the deadly Boston Marathon bombings and disclosure that the suspects may initially have planned to target the Independence Day celebration.

The Boston Pops concert and fireworks display, summer highlights that draw an estimated 500,000 people, are among the host of upcoming public events, from college graduations to charity walks, that are prompting heightened security following the bombings.

State and local police officials would not say what specific measures might be put in place for July 4, but security specialists said they would probably include an increased police presence along the Charles River Esplanade, broader searches of bags and belongings, and tighter restrictions on movement during the event.

They are also studying security plans at other large public events, such as the New Year’s Eve celebration in Times Square, to learn further ways to minimize threats.

“The public should be assured that security measures include those that they see and others that they won’t see,” said David Procopio.

“We do not want people to live in fear,” Procopio said. “All we ask is that they continue to be alert to anyone or anything that doesn’t look right and call 911 immediately if they do see something.”

Too late. Unfortunately for Procopio and other government officials who impose their will on innocent people, Americans fear government more than terror. More unfortunate for America, far too many are willing to give up a lot of freedom for a little false security.

“We’re going to do everything we can, everything humanly possible, to make it as safe as possible, and we have done so ever since security was first heightened after 9/11,” [Gov] Patrick told reporters at Northeastern University’s graduation ceremonies.

Blatant lies. Almost none of the 9/11 recommendations have been implemented. Whatever they did since 9/11 didn’t prevent the Boston bomber’s. They were given asylum after 9/11. Thanks to immigration – legal and illegal - the Muslim population has doubled in the U.S. since 9/11 as have the number of mosques. None of that made us safer. Using Islamic terrorism to erode our liberties is bipartisan.

Muslims make up 30 of 31 on FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorist List

A public service reminder, as if one were needed, from Daniel Pipes.

 

The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s list of “Ten Most Wanted” fugitives dates back to 1950 but the list of “Most Wanted Terrorists” dates back to just after 9/11 and a sense that terrorism had become a strategic threat. Today, the list includes 31 individuals, all of them male and with a single exception (Daniel Andreas San Diego, an animal rights extremist), all of them Muslim:

• Abd al Aziz Awda – 1950, Palestinian, Palestinian Islamic Jihad
• Abdelkarim Hussein Mohamed Al-Nasser – ca. 1947, Saudi, Saudi Hizbullah
• Abdul Rahman Yasin – 1960, American, World Trade Center bombing in 1993
• Abdullah Ahmed Abdullah – 1963, Egyptian, Kenya and Tanzania embassy bombings in 1998
• Adam Yahiye Gadahn – 1978, American, Al-Qaeda
• Adnan G. El Shukrijumah – 1975, Guyanese, Al-Qaeda
• Ahmad Ibrahim Al-Mughassil – 1967, Saudi, Saudi Hizbullah

• Ayman Al-Zawahiri – 1951, Egyptian, Al-Qaeda
• Faouzi Mohamad Ayoub – 1966, Lebanese, Lebanese Hizbullah
• Hakimullah Mehsud – ca. 1980, Pakistani, Pakistani Taliban
• Hasan Izz-Al-Din – 1963, Lebanese, TWA hijacking in 1985
• Husayn Muhammad Al-Umari – 1936, Lebanese, 15 May Organization

• Isnilon Totoni Hapilon – 1966, Filipino, Abu Sayyaf Group
• Jaber A. Elbaneh – 1966, Yemeni, Al-Qaeda
• Jamal Saeed Abdul Rahim – 1965, Palestinian, Pan Am hijacking in 1986
• Jamel Ahmed Mohammed Ali Al-Badawi – 1960, Yemeni, USS Cole bombing in 2000
• Jehad Serwan Mostafa – 1981, American, Al-Shabaab

• Omar Shafik Hammami – 1984, American, Al-Shabaab
• Raddulan Sahiron – ca. 1936, Filipino, Abu Sayyaf Group
• Ramadan Abdullah Mohammad Shallah – 1958, Palestinian, Palestinian Islamic Jihad
• Saif Al-Adel – ca. 1960, Egyptian, Al-Qaeda
• Wadoud Muhammad Hafiz Al-Turki – 1955, Palestinian, Pan Am hijacking in 1986
• Zulkifli Abdhir – 1966, Malaysian, Kumpulun Mujahidin Malaysia

Comments:

(1) Muslims make up 30 out of 31 most wanted terrorists, or about 97 percent of them.

(3) Ethnic Arabs make up 25 of the 30 terrorists. The largest numbers are 4 each of Lebanese, Palestinians, and Saudis, 3 each of Americans and Egyptians. Non-ethnic Arabs include 2 Filipinos, 1 Malaysian, 1 Pakistani, and 1 American convert.

May 2, 2013 update: In an odd move, the FBI today announced the addition of Joanne Chesimard (aka Assata Shakur) to the “Most Wanted Terrorists List.” Count the ways it is odd:

7,518 Illegal Immigrants from Terror States Caught Crossing Southern US Border in 2011

via Southern Border Welcomes Terrorists.

There are at least 7,518 reasons to get the U.S.-Mexican border under control. That equals the number of [illegal] aliens apprehended in fiscal year 2011 from the four nations that federal officials label “state sponsors of terrorism” plus 10 “countries of interest.”

Since January 2010, those flying into the United States via these 14 nations face enhanced screening. As the Transportation Security Administration announced at the time: “Effective aviation security must begin beyond our borders.” U.S. national security merits at least that much vigilance on our borders.The roaring immigration-reform debate largely addresses Hispanic aliens who illegally cross the border. Far more worrisome, however, are the thousands who break into the United States from countries “where we have concerns, particularly about al-Qaida affiliates,” a top State Department official told CNN.

These include Cubans, Iranians, Sudanese, and Syrians, whose governments are federally designated “state sponsors of terrorism.” As Customs and Border Protection’s “2011 Yearbook of Immigration Statistics” reports, 198 Sudanese were nabbed while penetrating the USA. Between fiscal years 2002 and 2011, such arrests totaled 1,207. (These figures cover all U.S. borders, although 96.3 percent of detainees crossed from Mexico.)

Like other immigrants, most Sudanese seek better lives here. But some may be vectors for the same militant Islam that tore Sudan in two — literally.In FY 2011, 108 Syrians were stopped; over the previous 10 years, 1,353 were. Syria supports Hezbollah, and Bashar al-Assad’s unstable regime reportedly has attacked its opponents with chemical weapons.

Conversely, it was also reported that the Obama-funded Syrian “rebels” tested chemical weapons.

Among Iranians, 276 were caught in FY 2011, while 2,310 were captured over the previous 10 years. Iran also backs Hezbollah, hates “The Great Satan” — its name for the United States — and craves atomic weapons.

The other 10 “countries of interest” are Algeria, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Yemen and:

• Afghanistan, the Taliban’s stronghold and current theater of America’s longest war. (Afghans halted in FY 2011: 106; prior 10 years: 681.)
• Nigeria. The land of underwear bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab suffers under Shariah law in its northern provinces. (Respective data: 591 and 4,525.)
• Pakistan, hideaway of the Pakistani Taliban and the late Osama bin Laden (525 and 10,682).
• Saudi Arabia, generous benefactor of radical imams and militant mosques worldwide; birthplace of 15 of the 19 Sept. 11 hijackers (123 and 986).
• Somalia. Home of Indian Ocean pirates and al-Qaida’s al-Shabaab franchise. In October 1993, Islamic terrorists there shot down two Black Hawk helicopters, killed 18 U.S. soldiers and dragged several of their bodies through Mogadishu’s streets (323 and 1,524).

The House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Oversight last November published “A Line in the Sand: Countering Crime, Violence, and Terror at the Southwest Border.” This study offers chilling portraits of some who consider the southern border America’s welcome mat.

• On Jan. 11, 2011, U.S. agents discovered Said Jaziri in a car trunk trying to enter near San Diego. Jaziri traveled from his native Tunisia to Tijuana, he said, and paid smugglers $5,000 to sneak him across the border. France previously convicted and deported him for assaulting a Muslim whom he considered insufficiently devout. In 2006, Jaziri advocated killing Danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard for creating what Jaziri called sacrilegious drawings of the Prophet Muhammed.
• Somalia’s Ahmed Muhammed Dhakane told authorities in 2011 that he earned up to $75,000 per day smuggling East Africans into America. His clients included three al-Shabaab terrorists. As the House paper states: “Dhakane cautioned that each of these individuals is ready to die for their cause . . .”
• On June 4, 2010, Anthony Joseph Tracy was convicted of conspiring to slip aliens into America. Tracy told federal investigators that Cuban diplomats used his travel agency in Kenya to transfer 272 Somalis to Havana. They proceeded to Belize, through Mexico, and then trespassed into the USA.

Tracy claims he refused to assist al-Shabaab. But officials discovered an email in which he casually wrote: “…i helped a lot of Somalis and most are good but there are some who are bad and i leave them to ALLAH…”

Remember: These anecdotes and statistics involve individuals whom authorities intercepted. No details exist about aliens who successfully infiltrated America.

Rubio, Rand Paul and many other corruptocrats are aggressively pushing amnesty that would allow for some 33 MILLION illegals to become citizens hastening our rapid decline.

Saudi national in Boston bombing visited White House multiple times since 2009

So exactly who is Ali al Harbi and why did Michelle Obama visit him in the hospital, and why did Janet Napolitano cover up for him? via The Right Scoop -.

Saudi Questioned in Boston bombing was on terror watch list, had prior file (video)

Coverup? This article has now been removed from Saudi-invested Fox but Starnes tweet remains. He did not answer tweets asking why the story no longer existed on Fox.

via Saudi National Questioned in Boston was on Terror Watch List | FOX News & Commentary: Todd Starnes.

The Saudi national who was initially detained and then ruled out as a suspect in the Boston Marathon terrorist attack had been flagged on a terror watch list and was granted a student visa without being properly vetted, sources have told me.

A source close to the investigation revealed that Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi had been deemed inadmissible under the section of the Immigration and Nationality Act which declares ineligible for a visa – any alien who is engaged in or is likely to engage after entry – in terrorist activity.

At least two additional sources have confirmed to me that Ali Alharbi is set to be deported as early as this week, contrary to statements made by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.

The House Homeland Security Committee is now requesting a classified briefing with Napolitano to get to the bottom of the issue, according to an exclusive report from The Blaze.

Whisteblowers in the government have had enough and are starting to speak. via Glen Beck, Beck Breaks Exclusive Information on Saudi National Once Considered a Person of Interest in Boston Bombings:

“We are not sure who actually tagged him as a ’212 3B,’ but we know it is very difficult to charge someone with this — it has to be almost certain,” Beck explained.  “It is the equivalent in civil society of charging someone with premeditated murder and seeking the death penalty — it is not thrown around lightly.”

Beck continued, noting that after Secretary of State John Kerry met with Saudi Foreign Minister Saud on Tuesday, the FBI began backtracking on the Saudi national from suspect, to person of interest, to witness, to victim, to nobody.

Then, on Wednesday, President Obama had a “chance” encounter with Saudi Foreign Minister Saud and Saudi Ambassador Adel al-Jubeir.

“Wednesday at 5:35 p.m. the file is altered,” Beck said.  “This is unheard of, this is impossible in the timeline due to the severity of the charge….You don’t one day put a 212 3B charge against somebody with deportation, and then the next day take it off.  It would require too much to do it.”

“There are only two people that could revoke the deportation order — the director of the NTC could do it after speaking with each department, the FBI, the ATC, etc. — which is impossible to do in such a short period of time, — or, somebody at the very highest levels of the State Department could do it.  We don’t have any evidence to tell you which one did it,” Beck said.

Bottom line, Beck said: “I need you to call your congressmen right now.  There are congressmen who are aware of this, have seen the documentation — they need your support, they need your help…If we do not stand up, he is on a plane tomorrow or he is already gone.”

Beck also says his sources state the Saudi and the Chechen bombers attended the same Muslim Brotherhood mosque in Boston and also notes the CAIR Texas alumni leading Syrian jihadists.

Canada arrests two Muslims, planned attack on Amtrak-Via passenger line

Canada has a growing jihad problem. via Alleged terror plot targeting Via train thwarted – CBC News.

Canadian police say they have arrested two men and thwarted a plot to carry out a major terrorist attack on a Via passenger train in the Greater Toronto Area.

In a press conference that followed an exclusive report by CBC’s Greg Weston, police named the two accused as Chiheb Esseghaier, 30, of Montreal, and Raed Jaser, 35, from Toronto. They have been charged with conspiracy to carry out a terrorist attack and “conspiring to murder persons unknown for the benefit of, at the direction of, or in association with a terrorist group.”

Could he be the same Chicheb Esseghaier listed on this Linkedin profile sporting the jihadi flag of the Islamic State of Iraq? Possibly Tunisian, a biochemical PhD candidate possibly on a student visa? Or is this just a coincidence?

The two men arrested are not Canadian citizens, police said Monday, but would not provide any details about their nationalities.

The RCMP accused the two men of conspiring to commit an “al-Qaeda-supported” attack.

Police said the two accused were getting “direction and guidance” from al-Qaeda elements in Iran. There was no information to suggest the attacks were state sponsored, police said.

Chief Supt. Jennifer Strachan said the two suspects watched trains and railways in the Greater Toronto Area. There was a specific route targeted, not necessarily a specific train, Strachan said, although she declined to reveal which route was allegedly being targeted.

“We are alleging that these two individuals took steps and conducted activities to initiate a terrorist attack,” she told reporters.

The two men are expected to appear at Old City Hall courthouse in Toronto tomorrow.

Alleged attack in planning stage

Had this plot been carried out, it would have resulted in innocent people being killed or seriously injured, RCMP Assistant Commissioner James Malizia told reporters on Monday.

However, Strachan said the attack was in the planning state but “not imminent.”

In a statement, RCMP said while they believe the individuals accused had the “capacity and intent” to carry out an attack, they believed there was “no imminent threat” to the public, rail employees, train passengers or infrastructure.

In a statement, Via Rail reiterated that “at no time” was there an imminent threat to the safety of the public or Via rail passengers or staff.

Highly placed sources tell CBC News the alleged plotters have been under surveillance for more than a year in Quebec and southern Ontario.

The investigation was part of a cross-border operation involving Canadian law enforcement agencies, the FBI and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

The arrests Monday morning were co-ordinated and executed by a special joint task force of RCMP and CSIS anti-terrorism units, combined with provincial and municipal police forces in Ontario and Quebec.

Public Safety Minister Vic Toews congratulated the RCMP, CSIS and local law enforcement and thanked the FBI for their assistance.

“Today’s arrests demonstrate that terrorism continues to be a real threat to Canada,” Toews told reporters on Parliament Hill Monday. “The success of Operation Smooth is due to the fact that Canada works very closely with international partners to combat terrorism.”

A curiously timed arrest. Under surveillance for over a year. FBI and DHS involvement. No imminent threat – which has come to mean the FBI was supplying fake explosives. But taken down a week after the Boston event. If there was no imminent threat, what transpired in the last few days to trigger the arrests?

He declined to take questions, citing the ongoing investigation.

U.S. Ambassador David Jacobson also congratulated the RCMP and said in a statement the arrests were the result of “extensive” cross-border co-operation.

“It underscores the fact that we face serious and real threats, and that security is a shared responsibility,” Jacobson said. “We all need to remain vigilant in confronting threats and keeping North America safe and secure.”

Law enforcement officials say the terror suspects arrested today have no connection to the two brothers accused of last week’s Boston Marathon bombings.

Irrespective of the arrest, how can any logical human being believe Canadian or U.S. officials when they talk about keeping “North America” safe? With open borders, next to no enforcement of immigration policies and laws, and mass importation of people from terror states – yet we’re to believe this keeps us safe? Truly mind boggling.

More:

While the Canadians did not divulge the details of the terror train plot, sources familiar with the “Operation Smooth” investigation told the Daily News the plotters were targeting an Amtrak passenger train bound for Canada out of Penn Station in Manhattan.

When Amtrak trains cross the border, passengers switch to Canadian Via Rail trains.

Sources said the pair intended to attack the trains only after they’d left the U.S. and crossed into Canada.

Interesting. Presumably that gives Canada prosecutorial jurisdiction right? Can any law student clarify? Were the two planning on being on the train that left Penn Station, i.e., did they have clearance to enter the U.S.?

Boston Bombings And Mayor “Menino’s Mosque”

Radio talk show host, columnist for the Boston Herald Michael Graham via The Boston Bombings And “Menino’s Mosque” | The Natural Truth.

As soon as we learned the identity of the two Boston Marathon bombers, I wondered “Did they attend Menino’s Mosque?”

If you’ve never heard of it, “Menino’s Mosque” is the cultural center built by the Islamic Society of Boston using city/taxpayer resources–namely  $2 million of city land donated to the mosque for just $175,000. How does that happen? It doesn’t hurt when the representative of the city and taxpayers is also a board member of the Islamic Society of Boston.

I’ve been writing, talking and complaining about this taxpayer-funded violation of the First Amendment since 2006.  It was then that the ISB sent me a subpoena demanding my emails, phone records and show notes related to my on-air conversations about this scam.

I told them to “Kiss My Burkha,” and that was that.

Now we find out that, yes, the bombers did attend ISB services at their Cambridge location:

The Islamic Society of Boston, attended by Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, recently hosted a book event featuring a journalist who has been highly critical of the U.S. and U.K. “War on Terror,” which she described as a “war against Islam.”

The Islamic Society of Boston also encouraged its members to show their “support of the forgotten women of the War on Terror.”

The Cambridge, Massachusetts-based mosque and its satellite cultural center —  which announced its indefinite closing Friday in light of “the terrible and sad events of last night, the criminal of the bombings on the loose, and the strong recommendations of our Governor” — hosted a book signing and “Meet the Author” event April 6 with British journalist and former Guardian editor Victoria Brittain, who discussed her book “Shadow Lives: The Forgotten Women of the War on Terror.”

That rhetoric is typical of the ISB, where parishioners are given Koranic teachings by radicals like Al-Qaradawi (the first major imam to call for women to join the suicide bombing movement).  But even they found Tamerlan Tsarnaev a bit much to take:

At the Cambridge mosque near where the bombing suspects lived, two worshipers who showed up for Saturday’s prayer service recalled seeing both men.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev was thrown out of the mosque — the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center — about three months ago, after he stood up and shouted at the imam during a Friday prayer service, they said. The imam had held up slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. as an example of a man to emulate, recalled one worshiper who would give his name only as Muhammad.

Enraged, Tamerlan stood up and began shouting, Muhammad said.

“You cannot mention this guy because he’s not a Muslim!” Muhammad recalled Tamerlan shouting, shocking others in attendance.

“He’s crazy to me,” Muhammad said. “He had an anger inside.… I can’t explain what was in his mind.”

Tamerlan was then kicked out of the prayer service for his outburst, Muhammad recalled. “You can’t do that,” Muhammad said of shouting at the imam.

Still, Tamerlan returned to Friday prayer services and had no further outbursts, Muhammad said.

The Tsarnaev family back in Russia insist that their sons were radicalized in America, not in the Caucasus. Richard Haass of the Council on Foreign Relations points out the similarities between the Boston bombings and the 7/7 attacks in London, and we know those terrorists were radicalized in the West.

What does this prove? Nothing. But if the Islamists who helped poison the minds of these young men were people they met through a taxpayer-funded mosque in Massachusetts, that would be a tragic and painful irony.

UPDATE: Oh, and keep in mind as you read all of this, Gov. Deval Patrick still has “no idea” what motivated these “two fellows.”

---

Bostonians can never claim they were never warned about the radical mosques in their city:

• Massachusetts: Governor and the Muslim Brotherhood-linked mega mosque (video)
• Boston mosque opens with “haunting” daily prayer broadcast to neighborhood
• Mass: 6th graders pray to Allah during field trip to radical mosque (video)

Or the universities, mosques and in the streets:

• Northeastern U’s Muslim Chaplain Removed After Video Exposes Support for Terrorists
• Boston U Muslim Chaplin Raising Funds for Al Qaeda, Mass. Pols Embrace Him
• 3 Boston Islamic charity leaders convicted, again
• Large group of supporters for Boston jihad suspect who likes beheadings (video)

And these aren’t the first Muslims arrested or convicted for waging jihad and plotting to kill Americans:

• Still on the run – FBI offering $50,000 for Boston-area Muslim terror suspect
• Boston: Muslim sentenced to 17.5 years jihad plot to kill Americans
• Feds: 2 Boston-area Muslims supported al Qaeda, traveled to Yemen to wage jihad
• Massachusetts Muslim gets 17 years in Pentagon jihad plot

Obviously Big Papi and most Bostonians are unaware of just how cozy terror-linked Muslims are with their elected officials.

Menino opening the mosque to cheers of “allah akbar”. He says “it’s only phase one.”

Boston Bombing Suspects Lauded Jihad

The media continue to do the two-step trying to figure out a motive, 1400 years in. via  The Investigative Project on Terrorism.

While police in and around Boston hunt for 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, one of the suspected Boston Marathon bombers, information gathered from various social media outlets indicate that he and his brother, 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev, harbored radical Islamic beliefs.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed overnight as police closed in on him and the hunt for Dzhokhar remains active. An MIT security officer was shot and killed in the firefight.

This is believed to be Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s Youtube page. Several of the posts feature radical Islamic rhetoric. In addition, a graphic video about Syria appears on Tsarnaev’s page on a Russian version of Facebook. An IPT translation can be seen here. Among its statements, “Congratulations to you those suffer for, who go through martyrdom of Allah illaha ill Allah.”

The brothers came to the United States from Southern Russia, near Chechnya, a predominantly Muslim state which declared independence from Russia in 1991, resulting in years of violence and terrorist strikes. Another video Tsarnaev posted was simply called “Terrorists.” But that video has been taken down. Yet another that was posted last summer, lauds “The promised emergence of the black flags from the promised land of Khorasan.” It celebrates jihadis posing “with a flag of the Taliban’s Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan,” the Long War Journal reported. The video has an apocalyptic message anticipating a time when the forces of Islam, led by the Mahdi, the Guided One, will conquer the world prior to the Day of Judgment. Part of this battle will be the conquest of the Holy Land.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev was a boxer who told an interviewer in 2009 that he had no American friends. “I don’t understand them,” he said. An Amazon.com wish list believed to be Tamerlan’s includes several books on forgery and the books The Lone Wolf And the Bear: Three Centuries of Chechen Defiance of Russian Rule and Allah’s Mountains: The Battle for Chechnya, New Edition.

Eric Mercado, a former high school classmate of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, told CNN that he and his friends remember a conversation in which Tsarnaev said, “When justified, terrorism isn’t necessarily a bad thing.” The comment was dismissed as outlandish. “No one wants to believe that their friend from high school is a quote-unquote ‘terrorist,’” Mercado said.

The bombs, reportedly packed inside pressure cookers, bear striking resemblances to instructions offered by al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula’s Inspire magazine. One article suggested that pressure cooker bombs should be “placed in crowded areas and left to blow up. More than one of these could be planted to explode at the same time. However, keep in mind that the range of the shrapnel in this operation is short range so the pressurized cooker or pipe should be placed close to the intended targets and should not be concealed from them by barriers such as walls.”

Report: Boston bomber became American citizen on Sep 11, 2012 in Boston

via Boston Bomber Could Have Been Deported After 2009 Arrest | Judicial Watch. h/t bella

Updated 4 p.m. Friday related to arrest versus conviction issue: One of the Chechen terrorists who carried out the Boston Marathon bombings could have been deported years ago after a criminal arrest and/or conviction and the other was granted American citizenship on the 11th anniversary of the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the 26-year-old killed in a wild shootout with police, was a legal U.S. resident who nevertheless could have been removed from the country after a 2009 domestic violence arrest and conviction, according to a Judicial Watch source. That means the Obama administration missed an opportunity to deport Tsarnaev but evidently didn’t feel he represented a big enough threat.

Other reporting confirms Tsarnaev’s arrest for domestic violence but we’re seeking confirmation of a conviction. Nevertheless he would have been subject to removal for the arrest itself.

Adding insult to injury, the other bomber, little brother Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, was rewarded with American Citizenship on September 11, 2012 in Boston, according to JW’s source. The 19-year-old, who is still on the run, was granted asylum in Arlington Virginia on September 27, 2002, JW’s source reveals.

Years before these Chechen terrorists carried out the Boston Marathon bombings Judicial Watch uncovered critical intelligence documents detailing al Qaeda’s activities in Chechnya, including the creation of a 1995 camp—ordered by Osama bin Laden—to train “international terrorists” to carry out plots against Americans and westerners.

Equally disturbing is this report from CBS, FBI interviewed dead Boston bombing suspect years ago:

As first reported by CBS News correspondent Bob Orr, the FBI interviewed Tsarnaev, the elder brother of at-large bombing suspect Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, at the request of a foreign government to see if he had any extremist ties, but failed to find any linkage.

Both Tsarnaev brothers were legal permanent residents of the U.S. There is no evidence so far that either brother received any tactical training.

CBS News correspondent John Miller reports it is likely Russia asked to have the elder Tsarnaev vetted because of suspected ties to Chechen extremists.

The FBI is likely to have run a background check, running his name through all the relevant databases, including those of other agencies, checking on his communications and all of his overseas travel. Miller reports that culminated in a sit-down interview where they probably asked him a lot of questions about his life, his contacts, his surroundings. All of this was then written in a report and sent it to the requesting government.

This is an issue they’ve had in the past. They interviewed Carlos Bledsoe in Little Rock, Ark., before he shot up an Army recruiting station in 2009. They were also looking into Major Hasan Nadal before the Fort Hood shootings.

However, the FBI has maintained in those incidents that they took all the steps they were asked to and were allowed to under the law.

Although the FBI initially denied contacting Tsarnaev, the brothers’ mother said they had in an interview with Russia Today.

Zubeidat Tsarnaeva said her son got involved in “religious politics” about five years ago, and never told her he was involved in “jihad.”

She insisted the FBI “knew what he was doing on Skype” and that they counseled him “every step of the way.”

An excellent point is raised over at Debka. The FBI clearly knew these brothers very well – so why did they ask the public to identify them? Something is not right and knowing the Janet Napolitano lied to Congress about the Saudi who was going to be deported – and likely still will be with full immunity – there are many more questions outstanding today.

The Tsarnaev brothers were double agents who decoyed US into terror trap

When in 2011, a “foreign government” (Russian intelligence) asked the FBI to screen Tamerlan for suspected ties to Caucasian Wahhabist cells during a period in which they had begun pledging allegiance to al Qaeda, the agency, it was officially revealed, found nothing incriminating against him and let him go after a short interview.

He was not placed under surveillance. Neither was there any attempt to hide the fact that he paid a long visit to Russia last year and on his return began promoting radical Islam on social media.
Yet even after the Boston marathon bombings, when law enforcement agencies, heavily reinforced by federal and state personnel, desperately hunted the perpetrators, Tamerlan Tsarnaev was never mentioned as a possible suspect

3.  Friday, four days after the twin explosions at the marathon finishing line, the FBI released footage of Suspect No. 1 in a black hat and Suspect No. 2 in a white hat walking briskly away from the crime scene, and appealed to the public to help the authorities identify the pair.
We now know this was a charade. The authorities knew exactly who they were. Suddenly, during the police pursuit of their getaway car from the MIT campus on Friday, they were fully identified.

Belated FBI press release that they indeed knew the bombing suspects: 2011 Request for Information on Tamerlan Tsarnaev from Foreign Government Washington, D.C. April 19, 2013 FBI National Press Office

One has to wonder if the remaining suspect will remain alive a few days from now.
