TERRORISTS EMBED THEMSELVES IN COUNTRIES THEY ATTACK

I received the disturbing news article a couple of hours ago from a former high-ranking official of the former INS. He held a position within the investigations program for the INS and we have been friends for many years. He and I are greatly concerned about the situation our nation is in today.

The news report should be considered in conjunction with a commentary that I wrote just last week about an ABC News report http://abcnews.go.com/TheLaw/story?id=6331697&page=1 about the identity of a suicide bomber, Shirwa Ahmed, who was identified as being a "naturalized United States citizen."

Consider this quote from the ABC News report filed last week:

The officials believe Shirwa Ahmed, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Somalia, blew himself up in a suicide bombing in northern Somalia Oct. 28.
You have to wonder how Mr. Ahmed managed to acquire United States citizenship. Was he one of the 111,000 aliens whose immigration files were "lost" in 2005 and then had their applications for various benefits, including United States citizenship adjudicated without the file or was it simply a matter of the general state of dysfunction and incompetence that we have seen reported upon in government report after government report?

The most recent news report http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20081204/pl ... somaliafbi fails to identify Ahmed or even note that he was believed to have been a "suicide bomber."

What the news report does note, however, is the fact that there are concerns today that the group of some 20 to 40 Somalis who had been living in the United States had gone "missing" and may have left the United States to receive terrorist training.

Here is the real question: If the fears are justified and those 2 dozen or more young men have, in fact, gone off to train in terrorist tactics, will they then seek to return to the United States to take up there lives in various communities around our nation as they await orders to carry out an attack in the United States or once again leave our country to participate in an attack in another country?

Here is another question of concern: Are members of this group of young men now United States citizens who could easily cross international borders to enter a country allied with the United States to carry out a terrorist attack there?

The problem we have with individuals who are involved in terrorism is that when they naturalize they may still retain their foreign passports and then alternate using their passport from their country of birth with their United States passport to cover their tracks as they cross international borders.

As we saw with the devastating terrorist attacks staged in Mumbai, India last week is that the terrorists needed to get to India from Pakistan in order to carry out their massive attacks in India. The 911 Commission similarly noted the need terrorists have to travel internationally and then to embed themselves in the country that they attack.

I have detailed these issues in a previous commentary in 2006.

What you should also consider is the lunacy of a statement of Michael Chertoff, the soon-to-be former Secretary of Homeland Security when he touted the doubling of the number of Border Patrol agents while decrying the failure of the Congress to pass a massive legalization program for the estimated 20 million illegal aliens currently living in the United States.

Chertoff and the administration have absolutely failed to even discuss the disastrous situation where immigration fraud is concerned. Additionally, the extremely dangerous Visa Waiver Program is now being expanded although that program should have been brought to a screeching halt the morning after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.

Meanwhile the advocates for open borders are licking their chops in anticipation that the new administration will do the unthinkable- provide millions of illegal aliens whose identities, backgrounds and affiliations and intentions are unknown and unknowable, with United States citizenship.

The immigration lawyers who anticipate a windfall in millions of new clients have taken to the tactic of renaming Comprehensive Immigration Reform "CIR." Of course, CIR are the initials for Comprehensive Immigration Reform. The politicians who are supposed to represent the best interests of our nation and our citizens know that Americans are absolutely opposed to comprehensive immigration reform so they apparently plan to jam it down our throats by renaming it and sliding it past us in the dead of night!

I have written this article to try to alert you to the challenges confronting our nation. Now it is up to you, the citizens of this nation, to contact your elected representatives and demand that they represent you and your family and to protect our nation. This is the burden all Americans must bear.

Many years ago there was a clever campaign mounted by the American Red Cross. They hung signs in buses and subway cars in New York City that were aimed at those New Yorkers who would fail to donate blood by saying, "Remember, to the other guy, you are the other guy! This certainly applies in this situation.

The safety of our nation begins at its borders. It is therefore essential that our borders be secured and that our immigration bureaucracy honor those who abide by the laws and seeks to weed out those who would commit fraud and those who would assist them.

This is neither a Conservative issue, nor is it a Liberal issue- simply stated, this is most certainly an AMERICAN issue!

You are either part of the solution or you are a part of the problem!

The Saudis' New Man in Congress
By Paul Sperry
FrontPageMagazine.com | Friday, December 05, 2008

When the Saudi Embassy earlier this year asked officials to renew the lease of a radical school it runs in Alexandria, Va., local residents strenuously objected. They argued the school teaches hatred toward Jews and Christians, and has become a breeding ground for terrorists.

Gerry Connolly, at the time the Democrat chairman of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, gave a full-throated defense of the Islamic Saudi Academy, even smearing protesters as anti-Islamic "bigots."

All the while, Connolly was running for U.S. Congress and according to the latest FEC records, accepting thousands of dollars in donations from Saudi bagmen -- including some whose homes and offices were raided after 9/11 on suspicion of terror financing (and whose donations to other Democrats have been quietly returned in shame).

Their investment appears to have paid off. The Saudi madrassa got its lease and is still in operation; and Connolly is in a more powerful position on the Hill. Last month, he easily beat GOP challenger Keith Fimian to take retiring Republican Rep. Tom Davis' old seat representing Virginia's 11th Congressional District.

Critics would be forgiven for questioning Connolly's motives for defending the Saudi madrassa in light of what appears to be an orchestrated outpouring of donations from Islamists with Saudi connections.

FEC records show that on Jan. 12, 2008, Yaqub Mirza gave Connolly $1,000, followed 12 days later by Nihad Awad, who chipped in $500. That same day -- Jan. 24 -- Hisham al-Talib donated $1,000 to Connolly's campaign, along with Omar Ashraf, who gave $500.

Then in May, Esam Omeish donated $250 to the Fairfax County Democratic Committee, which held receptions for Connolly and helped him raise money. And in June, Mirza gave another $1,000 to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which also helped get Connolly elected.

Investigators say Mirza is a Saudi bagman, acting on behalf of Saudi millionaire and al-Qaida financier Yassin al-Qadi. He along with al-Talib and Ashraf run a Virginia-based network of Saudi-funded fronts called the Safa group, which is still the subject of an active federal investigation into terror-financing. All three Connolly donors' homes and-or offices were raided by federal agents after the 9/11 attacks.

Omeish is a violent jihad advocate who helps run a Saudi-backed mosque in Falls Church, Va., that ministered to some of the Saudi hijackers before 9/11. As I first reported in my book, "Infiltration," Omeish in 2004 used his home to bond out a terrorist suspect jailed for allegedly casing the Chesapeake Bay bridge. The suspect, Ismail Elbarasse, is also an accused Hamas money man who was employed by the Islamic Saudi Academy as comptroller. His college roommate, Hamas leader and fugitive Mousa Abu Marzook, sent his kids to ISA.

Awad, meanwhile, is a Hamas supporter who has personally accepted large checks from Saudis on behalf of the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Washington. (He filed his donation to Connolly under the alias, "Nehad Hammad.")

These Islamist donors and their families support the Islamic Saudi Academy, an arm of the Saudi embassy. This spring, ISA's lease came up for renewal, and the Saudis knew they'd face resistance in the local community. The school had made national headlines since their last request for renewal.

Former school valedictorian Ahmed Omar Abu Ali was convicted of joining al-Qaida after leaving the school and plotting to assassinate President Bush. His ISA classmates voted him "Most Likely to Be a Martyr." His father works for the Saudi embassy.

Also, reports had detailed numerous hateful passages from academy textbooks, including a 12th-grade text teaching students that it's permissible for Muslims to kill adulterers and apostates who leave Islam. Other passages in the school's texts state that Muslims are permitted to take the lives and property of Jews and those deemed "polytheists," or Christians.

Connolly shrugged off the complaints and accused critics of "slander" before rubberstamping the school's lease and accepting a rent check from the Saudi Embassy for $2.2 million.

"I find no evidence, no grounds, to do anything but renew the lease of an institution that has been a good neighbor," Connolly declared at the board's May 19 meeting.

The very next month, the head of the Saudi-controlled Islamic school was arrested and charged with failing to report a sex-abuse allegation brought to him by a young student. ISA director Abdalla Al-Shabnan, who also was charged with obstruction of justice, "stated he did not believe the girl's complaint," according to court documents.

Of course not. As in Saudi Arabia, a woman's testimony is not valid. Thanks to Connolly, the Saudis have been allowed to maintain a beachhead in the nation's capital from which to spread their misogynistic Wahhabism and indoctrinate youth into jihad.

Meanwhile, a federal grand jury in northern Virginia has been hearing evidence regarding alleged terror-financing by the Safa group, aka the SAAR Foundation, which was founded by Saudi patriarch Sulaiman Abdul Aziz Al Rajhi. Connolly donor Mirza is one of the original ringleaders of the group, and has been at the center of the federal investigation.

Though he's not been charged with a crime, Mirza is bad news -- bad enough that several other politicians, including even Muslim Rep. Andre Carson, D-Ind., have returned his terror-tainted cash. Why hasn't Connolly?

This might seem radical, but I say kick them all out. Sure, there are probably some muslims that don't want to harm America, but the ones they are bringing over from Iraq becasue of the war, are not loyalt to the US. Since you can't know which ones are friendly and which ones are the enemy, we must deport most of them. They bring in Sunnis and Sheits, that hate each other and don't think it will stop just beacuse they come here. Sometimes drastic measures are the only way to go.
