NYPD Sergeant Convicted of Illegally Using Terror Database is Now “Integrity” Officer

via NYPD Sergeant Convicted of Misusing Terror Database Now “Integrity” Officer in Brooklyn Precinct. h/t Blazing Catfur

Five years ago, NYPD Sergeant Haytham Khalil was indicted for illegally accessing the FBI criminal records and terrorism database on behalf of a friend in a child custody dispute. He pleaded guilty in 2009.

Today, Khalil not only is still with the police department, despite his conviction, but he is an integrity control officer in a Brooklyn precinct.

In sum, an officer convicted of abusing his position to access confidential information for a private purpose is now monitoring whether other officers are following the rules.

We asked the NYPD’s public information office for comment, but received no response.

The National Crime Information Center maintains a database filled with sensitive information used by law enforcement agencies across the country in investigations.

Khalil, 37, of Brooklyn was convicted of using another sergeant’s password to access the NCIC database and retrieved an entry which identified an individual as being on the terrorist watch list. He then sent that document to a female friend in a child custody dispute in Canada. That dispute was with a man who was being monitored by the feds. The friend then filed the document in court records in Canada.

Khalil pleaded to accessing a computer beyond his authority, a misdemeanor. He faced a maximum of one year in jail and a $100,000 fine. He was sentenced in 2009 to one year probation and a $500 fine.

Under state law, if he had pleaded guilty to a felony, he would have been fired. But since he pleaded to a misdemeanor, the NYPD could decide to keep him on the job.

From the 2009 DOJ presser (pdf):

KHALIL exceeded his authorization by accessing the E-Justice system through an NYPD computer. KHALIL, who did not have an E-Justice account, used another NYPD officer’s E-Justice account and obtained an NCIC document identifying an individualas being on a  terrorist watch list. KHALIL then forwarded the NCIC document to an acquaintance involved in a custody dispute in Canada.

A 2008 Gothamist article:

A Canadian woman in a custody battle in her home country tried to pull the ultimate trump card in the fight for her children: submitting documents that their father was on a terrorist watch list here in the US. What she didn’t think of was that authorities might be curious to know just where she got the terrorist list she presented from. It also might have helped if she had double-checked that her friend who had passed along that information from the National Crime Information Center computers actually had proper access to it in the first place. Instead federal authorities have arrested her friend, Haytham Khalil–an eight-year NYPD vet–for hacking into e-Justice, the state database where he illegally obtained the terrorist list. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police tipped off the NYPD who then traced the computer Khalil had used. Khalil got into to the list by asking a departing officer who had access to it for his password. That officer was not named but has been disciplined, but Khalil was suspended without pay and faces a fine of up to $100,000.

More:

The probe revealed that Khalil regularly had an officer in the Patrol Borough Manhattan South investigations unit conduct searches for him on the NYPD computer, authorities said. When the officer left the unit in September 2007, Khalil called him to ask for his password to the NCIC system, they said.

He’s now an “Integrity” Officer.

DHS allowed a Muslim to illegally access a terror database as well and has done nothing to revoke his access or charge him. Re-read that at the links below:

Sacrificing Our Daughters: On the Psychology of Islamic Rape-Gangs (video)

In Great Britain, young white girls are being drugged, gang-raped, and tortured by Muslim men. These brutal attacks are occurring so frequently and in so many cities, it would be positively irrational not to look for a connection. So, why are Muslim rape-gangs targeting young British girls and treating them as if they’re worthless? Perhaps the answers are in the Qur’an.

via Answering Muslims: Sacrificing Our Daughters: On the Psychology of Islamic Rape-Gangs.

For those who want the sources I quoted or referred to in the video, here they are:

Qur’an 3:110—You are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind; you enjoin Al-Ma’ruf (i.e. Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam has ordained) and forbid Al-Munkar (polytheism, disbelief and all that Islam has forbidden), and you believe in Allah. And had the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) believed, it would have been better for them; among them are some who have faith, but most of them are Al-Fasiqun (disobedient to Allah – and rebellious against Allah’s Command).

Qur’an 98:6—Verily, those who disbelieve (in the religion of Islam, the Qur’an and Prophet Muhammad) from among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) and Al-Mushrikun will abide in the Fire of Hell. They are the worst of creatures.

Syrian Rebels Massacre Entire Christian Village

via Syrian Rebels Massacre Christian Village

According to the Assyrian International News Agency (AINA), forces of the Free Syrian Army massacred the village on May 27: “The armed rebels affiliated to the Free Syrian Army (FSA) raided the Christian-populated al-Duvair village in Reef (outskirts of) Homs near the border with Lebanon today and massacred all its civilian residents, including women and children. The Syrian army, however, intervened and killed tens of terrorists during heavy clashes which are still going on in al-Duvair village.”

Although the United States had opposed the involvement of the al-Qaeda-affiliated Nusra Front in the rebel coalition, it did not express such reservations in December when Obama lavished his praise on the coalition. As the New York Times reported at that time:

But Mr. Obama praised the opposition, known formally as the National Coalition of Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces, for what he said was its inclusiveness, its openness to various ethnic and religious groups, and its ties to local councils involved in the fighting against Mr. Assad’s security forces.

“At this point we have a well-organized-enough coalition — opposition coalition that is representative — that we can recognize them as the legitimate representative of Syrian people,” he said.…

The United States has played an active role behind the scenes in shaping the opposition, insisting that it be broadened and made more inclusive. But until Mr. Obama’s announcement, the United States had held off on formally recognizing the opposition, asserting that it wanted to use the lure of recognition to encourage the rebel leaders to flesh out their political structure and fill important posts.

Now Obama’s inclusive opposition has allegedly slaughtered the entire population of al-Duvair, which is the type of crime that the U.S. president has previously purported was sufficient reason for the people of Syria to rise up and overthrow their government. And the massacre is hardly an isolated incident; for example, only several weeks ago, rebels attacked the St. Elijah Orthodoxy monastery. As Voice of Russia reported on May 12: “The militants ransacked the cloister, destroyed the sanctuary, blew up the belfry and tore down the statue of St. Prophet Elijah who is equally revered in Syria by both Christians and Muslims, Syria’s SANA news agency reports, quoting the head of the monastery, hegumen Gadir Ibrahim. The hegumen believes the attack to be the work of foreign mercenaries.”

Reports of foreign mercenaries are nothing new in the war against the Assad regime, and the “Syrian” character of the rebellion has been in doubt for some time. As the Independent reported on December 20:

Fighters from as many as 29 countries have filtered into Syria to join a civil war that has split along sectarian lines, increasingly pitting the ruling Alawite community against the majority Sunni Muslims, UN human rights investigators said today.

The deepened sectarian divisions in Syria may diminish prospects for post-conflict reconciliation even if President Bashar al-Assad is toppled. And the influx of foreign fighters raises the risk of the war spilling into neighbouring countries.

New York: Muslim indicted for making 21 bomb threats against Kodak

via Rochester man faces charges related to making false bomb threats against Kodak | democratandchronicle.com. h/t atlas

A federal grand jury has returned a four-count indictment charging a man with making false bomb threats against the Eastman Kodak Co.

Omer Fadhel Saleh Mohammed, 31, of Rochester, is charged with making the false threats, after law enforcement reviewed a total of 21 recorded phone calls allegedly involving Mohammed and Rochester 911 operators.

According to the criminal complaint, between Sept. 24, 2012 and Jan. 24. 2013 Mohammad repeatedly called 911 operators, identified himself as Omer Fadhel, and provided information concerning a plot to bomb Kodak.

Mohammed also allegedly gave 911 operators the address of a grocery store on Lyell Avenue, the owner of which he claimed was involved in the plot.

The 911 calls resulted in emergency responses by the Rochester police and fire departments and by Kodak security personnel, but searches failed to turn up any bombs or evidence that someone had attempted to plant a bomb at any of Kodak’s facilities.

In addition, the criminal complaint said Mohammed admitted during questioning by the members of the FBI Buffalo Division to creating a hoax involving the Lyell Avenue store owner because he was kicked out of the store for being intoxicated and sought revenge by getting the store owner in trouble with authorities. It also said he appeared to be under the influence of alcohol during questioning.

Mohammed was arrested on Feb. 4, 2013, based on a criminal complaint issued by Magistrate Judge Marian W. Payson and is currently in custody. No date has been set for his arraignment.

If found guilty, Mohammed faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison, a fine of $250,000 or both, on each charge.

He’s in custody now but back in February the same judge released him despite making 21 bomb threats – Muslim Makes 21 Bomb Threats against Kodak, Released.

Thanks to Islam, purses, seat cushions, coolers banned from NFL games

It’s certainly not illegal immigrants they are worried about so it must be terrorists.

“They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”― Benjamin Franklin

The ever-expanding government-run police state. via NFL bans purses, seat cushions, coolers from games in new security measure | Fox News.

Forget about bringing your big purse or backpack — or even a cooler — to NFL games this season. They’ll all be banned, along with seat cushions and camera bags, at all NFL stadiums beginning with preseason games.

In a press release Thursday, the NFL Committee on Stadium Security said to a provide a “safer environment” and to “expedite fan entry,” NFL teams will implement a policy that will limit the size and types of bags that can be brought into stadiums.

Prohibited items include purses larger than a clutch bag, coolers, briefcases, backpacks, fanny packs, seat cushions, cinch bags or camera bags.

Game-goers are allowed to bring in bags that are clear plastic, vinyl or PVC and do not exceed 12” x 6” x 12”. One-gallon clear plastic freezer bags are also allowed. NFLShop.com and club merchandise outlets will be selling official NFL team logo clear plastic tote bags.

“Our fans deserve to be in a safe and secure environment,” NFL vice president and chief security officer Jeffrey Miller said in a statement. “Public safety is our top priority. This will make the job of checking items much more efficient and effective. We will be able to deliver a better and quicker experience at the gates and also provide a safer environment. We appreciate our fans’ cooperation.”

The statement said that stadiums will establish a secondary perimeter around the stadium where security will check for prohibited items.

“This establishes a protected buffer area for fans in plaza-level areas and at the queues for stadium entry,” it said. “Any prohibited bag inside the second perimeter will be highly visible and more quickly resolved.”

Fans with bags that do not meet the criteria will be turned away from the stadium. The committee is encouraging stadiums to provide temporary storage facilities for banned items well outside the bag-restricted area.

 Actually we should thank feckless politicians in the U.S. who use the threat of terrorism to subjugate Americans under the guise of fighting terrorism (while ignoring the threat of sharia and jihad). Previously:

War With Syria a Distraction from Domestic Threat

Where are the real oath keepers? via Is Obama Starting A War With Syria Just To Distract Us From All The Scandals?

Well, isn’t that convenient?  At the moment when the Obama administration is feeling more heat then ever before, it starts another war.  Suddenly everyone in the mainstream media is talking all about Syria and not about the IRS scandal, Benghazi, NSA snooping or any of the other political scandals that have popped up in recent weeks.  As if on cue, Obama made headlines all over the globe on Thursday by claiming that the Syrian government has used chemical weapons against the rebels “multiple times”, and that the U.S. was now ready to do more to assist the rebels.  That assistance is reportedly going to include “military support” for the rebels and a no-fly zone over at least part of Syria is being discussed.  Without a doubt, these are acts of war, and this conflict is not going to end until Assad has been ousted.  But Assad will not go quietly.  And all it would take is for Assad to fire a couple of missiles at Tel Aviv for a huge regional war to erupt in the Middle East.  And what happens if Russia or China decides to get involved in the conflict in Syria?  Obama is playing with fire, but he has shown again and again that he is willing to do virtually anything if it will benefit him politically.

As far as the Obama administration is concerned, there is no such thing as a coincidence.  The timing of this announcement regarding Syria was not an accident.  If Obama wanted to use chemical weapons as an excuse to go after Syria he could have done it weeks ago, or he could have waited several more months before taking action.  He chose to do it right now for a reason, and hopefully the American people will be able to see right through this.

Why in the world would we want to help the people who are supposed to be our greatest global enemy?

Remember a few key points we’ve mentioned ad nauseam. This is well orchestrated and long planned:

Clinton provided Millions knowingly to materially support Syrian terrorists

Obama allowed U.S. Syrian group to arm rebels, incl al Qaeda

Obama started sending U.S. troops to Syrian border months ago

CIA airlifted arms to Syrian jihadists, trained others in Jordan

and NYT ‘Forgets’ U.S. Already Arming Syrian Rebels, With Most Weapons Going to Jihadists.

WAPO came out today with the “news” that anyone paying attention already knew a year ago, CIA preparing to deliver rebels arms through Turkey and Jordan:

The CIA is preparing to deliver arms to rebel groups in Syria through clandestine bases in Turkey and Jordan that were expanded over the past year in an effort to establish reliable supply routes into the country for nonlethal material, U.S. officials said.

Within the past year, the CIA also created a new office at its headquarters in Langley to oversee its expanding operational role in Syria.

If the war mongers in Congress really cared about Americans, they’d let the Sunni’s and Shia’s war it out. There is no way this ends well for the U.S. and we’ll be blamed for whatever the result and whatever the so-called blowback (Syrian rebels: “When we finish with Assad, we will fight the U.S.!”).

Remember too, the cheerleaders in Congress wasting your tax dollars by the billions to fight a non-sensical war in Syria are led by this clown: McCain confident he can vet jihadis in Syria, as he is pictured with jihadists in Syria. He can’t even vet who he meets and is pictured with.

And finally, the U.N. says Syrian rebels used chem weapons, not Assad.

60,000 acre Turkish govt mega mosque complex will target abolishing Islamophobia

In other words, they will be targeting Americans First Amendment rights and waging legal jihad.

via “Turkish village” in America targets abolishing Islamophobia | World Bulletin.

The “Turkish village” complex will be built on 60 thousand acres area in Maryland province of the US with an aim to abolish Islamaphobia following September 11 attacks.

Dr. Yasar Colak, Washington Embassy Religious Affairs Counselor and President of Turkish American Community Center, expressed they made a dream come true of Muslims in America.

Land for the Turkish village was bought in 2003, the construction began in 2012 and it is planned to conclude within 1.5 years, Colak said adding the new building would be designed in accordance with 16th century Ottoman architecture and there would be a museum for displaying Turkish-Islamic work of art.

“We will show our friends in the US who we actually are and the main principle of our civilization. We will present our peaceful culture. We will try to erase the bad reputation of Muslims and Islam created following September 11 attacks,” Colak said.

“Turkish village will have sports facilities for the young and a garage complementary of the mosque. There is also a cultural center with exhibition halls, conference halls and library,” Colak noted.

Colak added that the funding for the project was supported through donations by Muslims, alongside the support of the Turkish Religious Affairs.

Obama Restricts Spying In Mosques While Spying Everywhere Else

When Obama, on video, said he was opposed to spying on “innocent Americans” he was referring specifically to spying on Muslims and when he said he’d provide tools to catch terrorists he was referring to Americans who oppose him. via Obama Restricts Spying In Mosques While Spying Everywhere Else – Investors.com.

The White House assures that tracking our every phone call and keystroke is to stop terrorists, and yet it won’t snoop in mosques, where the terrorists are.

That’s right, the government’s sweeping surveillance of our most private communications excludes the jihad factories where homegrown terrorists are radicalized.

Since October 2011, mosques have been off-limits to FBI agents. No more surveillance or undercover string operations without high-level approval from a special oversight body at the Justice Department dubbed the Sensitive Operations Review Committee.

Who makes up this body, and how do they decide requests? Nobody knows; the names of the chairman, members and staff are kept secret.

We do know the panel was set up under pressure from Islamist groups who complained about FBI stings at mosques. Just months before the panel’s formation, the Council on American-Islamic Relations teamed up with the ACLU to sue the FBI for allegedly violating the civil rights of Muslims in Los Angeles by hiring an undercover agent to infiltrate and monitor mosques there.

Before mosques were excluded from the otherwise wide domestic spy net the administration has cast, the FBI launched dozens of successful sting operations against homegrown jihadists — inside mosques — and disrupted dozens of plots against the homeland.

The stings only stop FBI supervised plots. They don’t stop Ft. Hood or the Arkansas jihad and aren’t likely to stop future acts of jihad Muslims will wage on Americans.

As Diana West writes in No Constitution, no borders, no USA:

If our leaders really wanted to prevent “another 9/11,” they would have long ago admitted the obvious: that the world of Islam, from its terrorists to its kings, is engaged in the latest historical cycle of jihad to extend the reach of Islamic law (Shariah). They would have decided that “profiling” isn’t worse than terrorism. They would have halted Islamic immigration not only to stop more jihad cells from forming but also to prevent Constitution-endangering, pro-Shariah demographics from forming, too. They would have sharply curtailed travel, and particularly return travel from jihad nations such as Chechnya and Pakistan. They would have long ago blocked U.S. institutions, including colleges, media organizations and banks, from accepting millions of dollars from Shariah-ruled dictatorships. They would have closed down mosques in America where jihad is preached and supported.

Above all, they would have secured our borders rather than leave them open all these post-9/11 years. Of course, that would mean re-establishing and defending those borders, both literally and figuratively.

That’s one thing Washington, D.C., will never tolerate.

Spying on Americans, that’s an all too tolerable story in DC.

NY judge approves sharia bankruptcy scheme

via Arcapita’s novel sharia bankruptcy plan approved | Reuters. – What’s so novel about this? h/t @MoneyJihad

(Reuters) – Bahrain investment firm Arcapita Bank received approval from a U.S. Bankruptcy Court on Tuesday for its plan to repay creditors, thought to be the first that is compliant with sharia, Islamic law.

“I’m happy to confirm the plan,” said Judge Sean Lane of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan. “This has been a fascinating case for me.”

Under the plan of reorganization, Arcapita will repay its only secured creditor, Standard Chartered Plc, in full. Arcapita will transfer its assets to a new holding company which will dispose of its investments over time, in an attempt to avoid a firesale liquidation.

The company’s unsecured creditors will receive the equity in the new holding company as well as their pro rata share in a sharia-compliant loan. General unsecured creditors are expected to receive around 7.7 percent of the $1.9 billion they are owed, according to court documents.

The largest unsecured creditor is the Central Bank of Bahrain, which was owed $255.1 million.

Is that the novel part? Suckers. Any American, non-Muslim suckers creditors?

The company provided alternative investment opportunities for rich families, institutions and sovereign wealth funds in the Gulf region, but sought bankruptcy last year as a $1.1 billion loan came due.

The fund’s investment were sharia-compliant, as is the $350 million loan that Arcapita arranged to fund its wind-down operations after its exits bankruptcy.

Sharia prohibits borrowing money with interest. Instead, the so-called murabahah structure effectively treats the arrangement as a sale, incorporating a profit margin and fees instead of interest.

Arcapita filed for bankruptcy protection in March 2012 with about $7.4 billion in assets under management.

The move was unprecedented in a region where most debt workouts have involved consensual talks that ended in long maturity extensions.

Arcapita was represented by Michael Rosenthal of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher.

The case is In Re: Arcapita Bank BSC et al, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York, No. 12-11076.

A Jew representing Muslims who want so-called sharia financing. Nothing novel there either.

Given the profit margin and fees and calculating the interest rate is simple mathematics.

Washington man gets 12 years in FBI jihad sting

via Wash man sentenced for trying to aid terrorists

SPOKANE, Wash. — A man who almost killed himself in an explosion three years ago was sentenced to 12 years in federal prison for making a bomb and attempting to help terrorists.

Joseph J. Brice, 22, of Clarkston was sentenced Tuesday after pleading guilty in September to manufacturing an explosive device and attempting to provide material assistance to terrorists, The Spokesman-Review reported ( http://is.gd/bjyQTt).

Brice spoke at the hearing, saying he regretted his actions that resulted from a deep depression after he suffered life-threatening injuries in the bomb blast.

“I’m deeply remorseful and just want to go home,” Brice said.

U.S. District Court Judge Lonny Suko said he could not take Brice at his word that the threats of violence were a joke.

“I can’t sweep all that under the rug,” Suko said. “We are judged by what we say and do.”

Brice will get credit for two years already spent behind bars.

After the explosion, the FBI found that Brice had posted YouTube videos honoring Islamic jihadists and paying tribute to Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh.

Campbell said Brice was “goaded” into providing an undercover FBI agent with bomb details. He also said Brice was no more an expert on bomb-making than anyone who read online encyclopedias and high school chemistry books.

However, federal prosecutors said Brice was injured as he tried to copy McVeigh’s complex bomb that killed 168 people in 1995.

As the investigation unfolded, authorities said they found Brice had created and posted the YouTube videos under the name “StrengthofAllah” and launched websites where he shared bomb-making recipes.

An undercover FBI agent sent Brice a message through a website asking if he wanted to help Islamic fundamentalists create a bomb to attack Americans. The prosecutors said Brice agreed and provided bomb-making information.

Wouldn’t the FBI’s time and our taxpayer money be better spent if they were investigating groups like CAIR, ISNA, MSA and the Muslims who have neutered FBI training programs? Or perhaps the White House?

In online postings, Brice celebrated the Tucson, Ariz., shooting in 2011 that killed six people and injured 13 others, including former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. He also identified personally with McVeigh.

“Tim’s characteristics are nearly the same as myself, physically and politically,” one of his postings said.

Judge Suko said the government established that Brice’s online activities started years before his accident and were indicative of dangerous behavior.

Muslim woman, daughter caught smuggling $59K in bras at U.S. border

via Canadian woman charged with smuggling thousands of dollars in bra at U.S. border. h/t @MoneyJihad

A woman believed to be from the Windsor area is in jail in Michigan for allegedly trying to smuggle tens of thousands 0f dollars across the border by padding her bra with cash.

Moura El-Asmar, 51, will have a bail hearing in Detroit today. She was arrested on the American side of the Windsor-Detroit tunnel Sunday after she and her 16-year-old daughter, Jacinta, were patted down during secondary inspection.

Both were found to have cash totaling $59,000 sewn into the linings of their bras.

The mother and daughter had a travel itinerary that showed they were catching a flight to Lebanon later that day to visit relatives.

According to documents filed in U.S. District Court, Moura El-Asma told border officers she was carrying $3,300. When her purse was searched in secondary inspection, officers found more than $15,000.

Moura El-Asmar allegedly told the officers she hadn’t counted the money and didn’t realize she had so much.

The total amount was nearly $73,000.

An officer patted her down and noticed what was described as a “bulky mass” on her bra. She was searched and was found to have four bags sewn into her bra. Three bags contained $10,000 each and the fourth had $9,000.

The daughter was searched and was found to be carrying $20,000 in two bags sewn into her bra.

Moura El-Asmar admitted to officers she had sewn the money into the bras, according to the court document. Her daughter said her mother had asked her to wear the cash-laden bra, but she had no idea how much money was in it.

Moura El-Asmar allegedly told the border officers she didn’t want to declare the money because she didn’t want her driver – her boyfriend Michel Barnaba – to know that she had so much money.

Moura El-Asmar allegedly told the border officers she collects a disability pension and has a paper route. Her daughter babysits and another daughter works at a travel agency.
