Close Gitmo... Great Idea.

It seems there is a new twist in the December 25th "Panty Bomber Jihadi" story...

Two of the plotters were former Gitmo prisoners. Hold onto your seat before reading this excerpt, or perhaps go and have a hard drink.

From this source:

Two of the four leaders allegedly behind the al Qaeda plot to blow up a Northwest Airlines passenger jet over Detroit were released by the U.S. from the Guantanamo prison in November 2007, according to American officials and Department of Defense documents. Al Qaeda claimed responsibility for the Northwest bombing in a Monday statement that vowed more attacks on Americans.

American officials agreed to send the two terrorists from Guantanamo to Saudi Arabia, where they entered into an "art therapy rehabilitation program" and were set free, according to U.S. and Saudi officials. ABC News described their enrollment in the art therapy program in a January report.

So Obama thinks that finger painting will reform hard core jihadists?

Aren't you glad that Obama and his ilk are closing Gitmo, putting some of these scumbags into our legal system, and reassuring the American people that all is well?

"Religion of Peace" Attempts Another Airplane Jihad

Probably not too many of us were keeping tabs on the news yesterday, instead opting to enjoy the day, celebrate and spend the day with our families, and remember the birth of Christ.

So, when I checked the news this morning, I came across this story:

ROMULUS, Mich. – An attempted terrorist attack on a Christmas Day flight began with a pop and a puff of smoke — sending passengers scrambling to subdue a Nigerian man who claimed to be acting on orders from al-Qaida to blow up the airliner, officials and travelers said.

The commotion began as Northwest Airlines Flight 253, carrying 278 passengers and 11 crew members from Amsterdam, prepared to land in Detroit just before noon Friday. Travelers said they smelled smoke, saw a glow, and heard what sounded like firecrackers. At least one person climbed over others and jumped on the man, who officials say was trying to ignite an explosive device.

"It sounded like a firecracker in a pillowcase," said Peter Smith, a passenger from the Netherlands. "First there was a pop, and then (there) was smoke."

Smith said one passenger, sitting opposite the man, climbed over passengers, went across the aisle and tried to restrain the man. The heroic passenger appeared to have been burned.

Afterward, the suspect was taken to a front-row seat with his pants cut off and his legs burned. Multiple law enforcement officials also said the man appeared badly burned on his legs, indicating the explosive was strapped there. The components were apparently mixed in-flight and included a powdery substance, multiple law enforcement and counterterrorism officials said.

The White House said it believed it was an attempted act of terrorism and stricter security measures were quickly imposed on airline travel. Dutch anti-terrorism authorities said the U.S. has asked all airlines to take extra precautions on flights worldwide that are bound for the United States.

The incident was reminiscent of Richard Ried, who tried to destroy a trans-Atlantic flight in 2001 with explosives hidden in his shoes, but was subdued by other passengers.

Multiple law enforcement officials identified the suspect in Friday's attempted attack as Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab. He was described as Nigerian.

One law enforcement official said the man claimed to have been instructed by al-Qaida to detonate the plane over U.S. soil, but other law enforcement officials cautioned that such claims could not be verified immediately, and said the man may have been acting independently — inspired but not specifically trained or ordered by terror groups.

Not to worry, though. Obama's got the situation under control. He's going to keep tabs on it from Hawaii. Don't you feel safer already?

Thanks to the brave passengers who foiled this Muslim's Christmas jihad! They acted quickly and decisively, and they got the best outcome possible.

It must suck for this brave Muslim warrior that a dirty kuffar took away his shot at 72 virgins in Allah's sky brothel. I guess he'll have to just go to Muslim hell with all of the regular women, now.

Merry Christmas!

Here's wishing all of you out there a very Merry Christmas!

Hopefully, everything goes well:

Unbeliveable.

So what if over 60% of We The People don't want this pork-laden so-called 'health care reform' bill? Congress will do whatever the hell they want, and the will of the People be damned.

This will be the first time in history that We The People are not only taxed near to death, but compelled by an oppressive government to purchase something or potentially be jailed.

This is blatantly unconstitutional!!!

I'm so angry right now I don't know what to say.

A couple of Good Ones:

Obama will bring the entire United States to this:

Zo has the heads up on my post-Christmas Kwanzaa rant:

Opportunity for the Muslim Ladies:

Good news, girls... You can now take part in jihad!

As long as you don't get too 'out of your place', that is:

Ayman al-Zawahiri, Osama bin Laden's second-in-command, has been a regular presence on Islamic web sites for years , releasing statements and videos via al-Qaeda's propaganda arm that blast the West and urge Muslims to wage holy war. Now his wife may have joined the family business.

In what is thought to be her first public statement, Omaima Hassan published a statement on Islamic web sites Thursday that encouraged "Musllim sisters" to assist with jihad, but only in suitably feminine ways. She called supporting jihad "an obligation for all Muslims, men and women." ABC News could not independently confirm the authenticity of the statement.

In the seven-page letter, after assuring friends and family that she and her husband are safe and well, Hassan outlines the ways in which women can assist their men with jihad. Hassan suggests that women work side by side in defending Islam with their men, but underlines that the most important role for women is to support male mujahideen by caring for their children.

"Jihad is an obligation for every man and woman," wrote Hassan, "but the way of fighting is not easy for women."

Really? Is anything easy for a woman under Sharia?

"Our main role -- that I ask God to accept from us -- is to preserve the mujahideen in their sons, and homes, and their confidentiality, and to help them raise/develop their children in the best way."

But Hassan also suggests that women can become suicide bombers, which she refers to as "martyrdom missions."

Read the rest here. It is dumbfounding.

While the so-called 'religion of peace' is busy treating its women equal (at least when it comes to killing kuffar, that is), we have idiot liberal teachers in Indiana attempting to force children to glorify Allah:

A battle over religion is brewing in central Indiana after a public school wanted second graders to sing a song declaring, “Allah is God.” The phrase was removed just before the performance after a national conservative group launched a protest.

The principal of Lantern Road Elementary School in Fishers, IN, said they were trying to teach inclusiveness through their holiday production. It included references to Christmas, Hanukkah, Ramadan, Las Posadas and Kwanzaa. However, no other deity, other than Allah, was referenced in the show.

“It went off…without a hitch,” Danielle Thompson told the Indianapolis Star. “Several families thought it was a nice program.”

But others did not – especially David Hogan. His daughter came home with a copy of the lyrics just days before the production. Hogan, a Christian, told the American Family Association, a conservative advocacy group, that he was deeply concerned to learn that his daughter had been singing, “Allah is God.”

Here’s what the children were assigned to sing:

“Allah is God, we recall at dawn,
Praying ‘til night during Ramadan
At this joyful time we pray happiness for you,
Allah be with you all your life through.”

But when it came time to perform the “Christian” part of Christmas, children were assigned to say:

“I didn’t know there was a little boy at the manger. What child is this?
I’m not sure if there was a little boy or not.
Then why did you paint one on your nativity window?
I just thought if there was a little boy, I’d like to know exactly what he (sic) say.

Micah Clark, executive director of the Indiana AFA, launched an Internet protest once he heard about the allegations. “What surprised me here is that we’ve had a secular scrubbing of Christmas for so long and the school apparently didn’t see the problem with kids singing to Allah,” he told FOX News Radio. “You won’t even mention Jesus and you’re going to force my child to sing about Allah?

In email correspondence the school initially defended the reference as a way to be inclusive of all religions. However, once complaints starting rolling in, school leaders decided to eliminate the Allah reference.

That drew the ire of the Muslim Alliance of Indiana. “It’s unfortunate if that was removed from the program just because of Islamophobic feelings,” Shariq Siddiqui told the Indianapolis Star. “Schools are a place where we should learn more about each other rather than exclude each other based on stereotypes and misconceptions.”

But Clark said having children bow and pray is problematic for non-Muslim families. “(This show) affirmed Islam and negated Christianity. I wouldn’t have had a problem if it had been equal to all faiths.”

I'd have a problem either way. Islam is a sociopolitial system and a highly abusive, misogynistic, homophobic abuse machine.

I am just a stone's throw from Indy, and I can't believe this. I guess liberals and dhimmis make roach nests everywhere, though.

I'm glad the parents got this stricken from the show despite the obligatory cries by Muslims of 'Islamaphobia'. What bullshit.

To call into question and really not even mention by name the Christian aspect of Christmas, yet to devote those kids to Islam, (and no doubt to bring up the farce that is Kwannza, but that is a post for later) is beyond atrocious.

Why not have the kids just say "there is no god but Allah and Mohammad is his prophet" and then stick their asses in the air?

Dhimmitude is disgusting, but even more so when foisted upon children.

Getting Us Coming and Going...

While Obama and Hillary are busy trying to screw the American people in Copenhagen, the Congress is poised to put a big lump of legislative coal in our stocking on Christmas Eve night.

The will of We The People be damned.

How to Know You're About To Have a Bad Day:

As a Trek fan, I found this one to be too funny:

Minnesota: Another Cartonnifada?

From this source:

A St. Cloud human rights group has offered a $1,000 reward in the hopes of finding the person responsible for posting anti-Islamic cartoons in the city this week.

Create CommUNITY, a nonprofit organization that promotes racial harmony, announced Friday that the money would be posted with the Tri-County Crime-Stoppers for information that leads to an arrest and conviction in the case.

The crude cartoons were found stapled to a pair of utility poles Tuesday.

They depict the prophet Mohammed in derogatory ways, the Qur'an and a swastika. One of

the posters was stapled to a pole outside the Mandeeq Shop, a discount store named in honor of the native name for Somalia.

The city attorney's office is investigating whether the cartoons violate any criminal statutes and, if they do, the case could be treated as a bias crime.

Police have received tips in the case but have made no arrests.

I know there is a high Muslim population in Minnesota... That said, are we really so weak as to allow another cartoonifada and government dhimmitude, this time on American soil?!?

I am flabbergasted beyond words.

Oh, and perhaps the swastika thing is being taken as an insult because we fail to teach history in this country:

Not to mention that depicting Mohammad in an insulting fashion is that difficult of a thing to do...

We are speaking about the Pedophile Prophet who took a six-year-old girl as a br

ide well after he

was 50 years old, and 'consummated' the 'marriage' when she reached the ripe old age of nine.

Imam: Catholic Jihad?

Found at this site:

Muslim leaders said Friday the five American youths arrested in Pakistan for allegedly attempting to join the al Qaeda network were lured through the Internet into embracing terrorist ideology and that they will wage a cyber counterattack.

"This is a wake-up call involving our youths — Muslims and Catholics," Imam Mahdi Bray said outside the Islamic Circle of North American Center, the Northern Virginia mosque in which the men worshipped and participated in youth-group activities. "They see great injustices, and their emotions and passions are stirred, as they should be. … But we are determined not to let religious extremists exploit the vulnerability of our youth through slick, seductive and destructive propaganda on the Internet. We will respond in kind on the Internet. Silence in cyberspace is not an option."

Ok, kudos for speaking out against cyber terror recruiting, Imam, but since when do we need to worry about Catholic youths becoming terrorists?!?

Since when do Catholics go on jihad?!?

Did anyone challenge that? Did the paper try to contact him for clarification? Of course not.

Sometimes, I just can't take it...

Another Good One:

Dayam. Worth a Thousand Words.

Nothing to See Here, I'm SURE.

It looks like 'just another isolated incident' has happened again. One of the adherents of that so-called 'religion of peace' had stabbed to death an elderly man.

From this source:

A 46-year-old Binghamton University graduate student from Saudi Arabia was charged on Saturday with killing a retired anthropology professor, a specialist in Islamic and Middle Eastern studies with whom he had worked, the authorities said.

The student, Abdulsalam S. al-Zahrani, was charged with second-degree murder in the death of the professor, Richard T. Antoun, who was stabbed in his office in the university’s Science I building on Friday afternoon, said Gerald F. Mollen, the district attorney in Broome County. “We believe the murder weapon was recovered,” he said.

---------------------------------------

Professor Antoun, 77, received a doctorate from Harvard in 1963 and joined the Binghamton faculty in the early 1970s. He was “a sociocultural anthropologist who has conducted research among peasants in Jordan, urbanites in Lebanon, peasant farmers in Iran and migrants in Texas and Greece,” according to the university's web site. He retired in 1999 as professor emeritus.

“He dedicated his life to trying to understand the people of the Middle East,” said the professor’s sister Linda Miller, of Holden, Mass. “He never said an unkind word to anyone in his life.”

It sounds to me that the professor failed to understand Islam. I'm sure he and everyone he knows is clear on it now.

Or, perhaps the Professor did understand the cruelty that is Islam and Zharani didn't appreciate that.

Ms. Miller’s husband, the Rev. David J. Miller, said that Professor Antoun had been married to his wife, Rosalyn, for 17 years and had a son, Nicholas, 40.

-----------------------------------------------

In his statement, Mr. Mollen said there was “no indication of religious or ethnic motivation” in the killing. He said no other arrests were expected.

No, of course not, just like the FBI rushed to claim that the Ft. Hood murderer wasn't a terrorist... Until it becomes too painfully obvious for even the blind to miss the facts.

I'm sure that once that occurs here, the apologists and dhimmis will be right there to figure out how we caused this poor, mistreated and misunderstood Muslim to 'snap.'

I'm going to have all of tomorrow to catch up with the blogosphere.
