Story highlights

• Samy Mohamed Hamzeh was arrested on weapons charges
• Authorities accuse the 23-year-old of plotting to attack a Masonic temple
• A complaint details comments he allegedly made in a recorded conversation

(CNN)A 23-year-old Milwaukee resident charged with illegally possessing machine guns had planned a massacre at a Masonic temple in the city, federal officials said Tuesday.

Samy Mohamed Hamzeh was arrested Monday after buying two automatic weapons and a silencer from undercover agents, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Wisconsin said in a statement.

The investigation thwarted an attack "that could have resulted in significant injury and/or loss of life," FBI Special Agent in Charge Robert J. Shields said in the statement announcing the arrest.

It was not immediately clear whether Hamzeh has retained legal representation.

A criminal complaint released by prosecutors alleges that Hamzeh toured a Masonic center in Milwaukee earlier this month with two confidential sources and then detailed plans for an attack in a meeting with them later that night.

Hamzeh allegedly said he was defending Islam and that he hoped to kill at least 30 people, according to the complaint.

The complaint contains chilling excerpts of comments allegedly made by Hamzeh, captured in a recording and translated from Arabic into English.

"If I got out, after killing thirty people, I will be happy 100% ....100% happy, because these 30 will terrify the world," he said at one point, according to the complaint.

At another point in the conversation, Hamzeh allegedly discussed the roles he and other attackers would play.

"One of us will stay a the door at the entrance and lock the door down, he will be at the main door down, two will get to the lift up, they will enter the room, and spray everyone in the room.

The one who is standing downstairs will spray anyone he finds.

We will shoot them, kill them and get out," Hamzeh said, according to the complaint. "We will walk and walk, after a while, we will be covered as if it is cold, and we'll take the covers off and dump them in a corner and keep on walking, as if nothing happened, as if everything is normal."

FBI agents had been investigating Hamzeh since September after a source reported that he was planning to conduct an attack on Israelis in the West Bank, according to the complaint.

"Hamzeh abandoned these plans for family, financial, and logistic reasons. Thereafter, Hazeh refocused his plans on an attack in the United States," the complaint alleges.

Another example of the damaged brains of inbred muslims...his or his family's immigration background etc should be forthcoming....

Hamzeh was recorded making comments about the planned attack with automatic weapons.
"They are all Masonic; they are playing with the world like a game, man, and we are like asses, we don't know what is going on, these are the ones who are fighting, these are the ones that needs to be killed, not the Shi'iat, because these are the ones who are against us, these are the ones who are making living for us like hell," he said. "Thirty is excellent. If I got out, after killing thirty people, I will be happy 100%... 100% happy, because these 30 will terrify the world."

FBI thwarts mass shooting at Milwaukee Masonic Temple

FBI agents have interrupted what federal prosecutors describe as a planned mass shooting at a Masonic Temple in Milwaukee, it was announced Tuesday.


Samy Mohamed Hamzeh, 23, has been charged with possessing machine guns and a silencer.
According to the criminal complaint, Hamzeh had been under investigation since September 2015. He originally planned to travel to Jordan to attack Israeli soldiers. He later changed plans to attack the Mason Temple in Milwaukee.


Hamzeh was recorded making comments about the planned attack with automatic weapons.
"They are all Masonic; they are playing with the world like a game, man, and we are like asses, we don't know what is going on, these are the ones who are fighting, these are the ones that needs to be killed, not the Shi'iat, because these are the ones who are against us, these are the ones who are making living for us like hell," he said. "Thirty is excellent. If I got out, after killing thirty people, I will be happy 100%... 100% happy, because these 30 will terrify the world."


Hamzeh met with undercover FBI agents on Monday. The undercover agents displayed the weapons and a silencer to Hamzeh, told him that the weapons were capable of automatic fire, and explained to him the functioning of the selector switch that allowed the weapons to fire automatically. Hamzeh agreed to a price and paid it to the undercover agents, who then handed Hamzeh a bag containing two automatic weapons and a silencer. Hamzeh carried the bag to the vehicle in which he had traveled to the meeting, and he placed the bag in the trunk of the vehicle. He then was arrested and has been charged with illegally possessing machine guns.


Acting United States Attorney Gregory J. Haanstad said, "Samy Mohamed Hamzeh devised a detailed plan to commit a mass shooting intended to kill dozens of people. He also said that he wanted this mass shooting to be 'known the world over' and to 'ignite' broader clashes. It is difficult to calculate the injury and loss of life that was prevented by concerned citizens coming forward and by the tireless efforts of the FBI and the Joint Terrorism Task Force."


Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Robert J. Shields said "The arrest of Samy Mohamed Hamzeh is the result of a well-coordinated undercover law enforcement action, at no time was the public's safety placed in jeopardy. I would like to commend the efforts of the Joint Terrorism Task Force which includes our local and state law enforcement partners in thwarting an attack that could have resulted in significant injury and /or loss of life."

Minnesota: Muslim Battle Ground

March 30, 2007 by The Bear 3 Comments
When you add up a lot of little things you begin to see a lot, so let’s start adding up what has been happening in Minnesota. Let’s examine the possibility of Minnesota establishing Sharia Law in the United States.

Minnesota is home for tens of thousands of Somali Muslims who are recent immigrants to this country. At the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport — about four out of five taxi drivers are Muslim; several years ago troubling incidents started to happen starting with the refusal to transport passengers carrying alcohol. Since that time there have been thousands of refusals for taxi service.

Islam prohibits the consumption of alcohol but not its transportation, according to Somalis who reject the taxi drivers’ stance. Yet in June 2006, the Muslim American Society’s (MAS) Minnesota chapter issued a “fatwa” forbidding drivers here from carrying alcohol to avoid “cooperating in sin.”

The leader of the Minnesota chapter of Muslim American Society (MAS) is none other than Omar Shahin. He was also one of the detained “six flying imams” who were removed from a US Airways flight last year. The Chicago Tribune has described MAS as the American arm of the fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood, which “preaches that religion and politics cannot be separated and that governments eventually should be Islamic.”

Last week, the six flying imams filed suit in a U.S. district court in Minneapolis against US Airways and the Metropolitan Airports Commission, claiming discrimination and defamation. They also added ‘John Does’ (unnamed passengers who reported their irrational behavior to the airlines) as defendants. Let’s not mince words here; this is a form of intimidation and a warning against the traveling public to keep your mouth shut.

Now let’s add in the latest incident in Minnesota; Muslim cashiers at the Twin Cities Target stores have begun refusing to scan pork products, like bacon and pepperoni pizza, and insisting that other cashiers or the customers do it themselves.

Ahmed Samatar, a recognized expert on Somali society at Macalester College in St. Paul notes that “There is a general Islamic prohibition against drinking, but carrying alcohol for people in commercial enterprise has never been forbidden.” Similarly, Islam prohibits consuming pork, but not touching or scanning it, according to Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf of the American Society for Muslim Advancement in New York. It is, or should be, “a non-issue.”

What should be, “a non-issue” is definitely becoming an issue as radical Muslims are using our civil rights laws to promote Islamist activism. Both MAS and CAIR are stumping for a bill, which would bar airport security personnel from disproportionately questioning Muslims or people of Middle Eastern descent. Minnesota’s Keith Ellison, the nation’s first Muslim Congressman, stated that the imams’ situation reflects a misunderstanding of Muslim prayer and will be sorted out in court, while the other matters stem from the “normal process of immigrant adjustment.”

The “normal process of immigrant adjustment”…. Therein lies the problem, as these people have no wish to adjust to the American way of life and they are hell bent on changing America into a Muslim Society. They are intent on looking for confrontation and eventually confrontation is what they will get when the American public says enough!
Minnesota’s answer should be…adjust, assimilate or your ‘outta’ here.

House votes to protect ‘John Does’ on flights

House Republicans yesterday surprised Democrats with a procedural vote to protect public-transportation passengers from being sued if they report suspicious activity — the first step by lawmakers to protect “John Doe” airline travelers already targeted in such a lawsuit.
After a heated debate and calls for order, the motion to recommit the Democrats’ Rail and Public Transportation Security Act of 2007 back to committee with instructions to add the
protective language passed on a vote of 304-121.

All 121 of the “no” votes were cast by Democrats, while 199 Republicans and 105 Democrats voted in favor.

Republicans said the lawsuit filed by six Muslim imams against US Airways and “John Does,” passengers who reported suspicious behavior, could have a “chilling effect” on passengers who may fear being sued for acting vigilant.

More from The Washington Times

Muslims offer to help ‘John Does’ sued by imams
Lawyers and a Muslim group say they will defend at no cost airline passengers caught up in a lawsuit between a group of imams and U.S. Airways if the passengers are named as “John Does” and sued for reporting suspicious behavior that got the Muslim clerics booted from a November flight.

The six imams are suing the airline, Minneapolis-St. Paul Metropolitan Airports Commission, and the unnamed “John Does” to be named later, for discrimination, saying they were removed from the flight for praying in the airport.

An old article but as relevant now as it was in 2007. If anything the Muslim problem in Minn. has gotten much worse and continues to grow.
