Muslims of the Americas: In Their Own Words
Muslims of the Americas
Muslims of the Americas (MOA) is a virulently anti-Semitic, Islamic extremist group with ties to Al-Fuqra, a terrorist organization that has carried out firebombings and murders in the United States. MOA claims to have offices in six U.S. cities and Toronto and maintains secluded residential communities in New York, Virginia and California. The group's Web site and e-mails have featured writings by notorious anti-Semites and Holocaust deniers, including Michael Hoffman and former Klansman David Duke.
MOA was founded and is led by the radical Pakistani cleric El Sheikh Sayyid Mubarik Ali Jilani (commonly known as Sheikh Jilani or Sheikh Gilani). Based in Lahore, Pakistan, Jilani established MOA in 1980, after arriving in the United States for the first time. In the 1980s, Jilani, who claims to be a direct descendant of the Prophet Muhammad, actively recruited American Muslims to fight against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan. MOA claims to have offices in six U.S. cities and Toronto, and it maintains secluded residential communities in New York, Virginia, California, and possibly other states. The group also runs a Web site and an e-mail mailing list.
The available evidence strongly suggests that MOA has served as a corporate front for another group founded by Sheik Jilani, the terrorist organization Al-Fuqra, which has committed firebombings and murders on U.S. soil. Both Sheikh Jilani and MOA officials deny that Al-Fuqra even exists, and MOA claims to be a "peaceful" group. Though relatively few members of MOA have been arrested for criminal activity, two residents of the MOA community in Virginia were recently arrested for firearms violations, and a resident of the MOA community in California was recently arrested for the murder of a Sheriff's Deputy.
Muslims of the Americas: In Their Own Words

Here are examples of anti-Semitic, anti-Christian,anti-American, and homophobic statements made by MOA, as well as comments that promote violence:
On Jews
"Jews are an example of human Satans. This is why Jews are the founders of Satan worship and Masonic lodges, and are now trying to take over the entire globe in which the global religion is to be Satanism….In the US there are now thousands of temples where Satan is worshipped. This Satanism has now become the ultimate tool in the hands of Zionists. "

-- "Satanism," MOA Web site

"The enemies of Islam all over the world under the leadership of the Zionist New World Order are poised to eliminate the Ummah [the worldwide Muslim community] or so is their conspiracy….We thus find today that all Muslim countries are ruled by kufirized [infidel] locals operating under the guise of Islam. All of these rulers are thoroughly under the Zionist New World order in every sphere of their mental outlook and conception. They today rule the World of Islam on behalf of their masters who dictate all the terms….Without Islam there is no Ummah, and no force to contest the Kufr Zionist New World Order….As we all know the Yahood (Jews), are master conspirators. They plot and plan for a century ahead. Since they are deprived of true belief in spite of their overt profession of faith and religion, they labor under the misconception that their plans will always remain on course….The setbacks which the enemies of Allah, are experiencing and which are impeding the full achievement of their satanic goals, all of which is part of the Divine Scheme of Allah...to save the Ummah from annihilation."

-- MOA E-mail message, January 3, 2002

"Every God-fearing individual, whether in America or abroad, must become informed of the heinous, barbaric, and purely sub-human nature of Zionism and all of its offshoots. It is the duty of every individual to become familiar with the nature and ways of Zionism and become educated to the whims and craftiness of these devils…"

--"The True Nature of Zionist Propaganda," MOA Web site Back to Menu

On Christians
"If you ask any Christian 'What is meant by belief in God Almighty?' he will not be able to give you any rational explanation. On the contrary, he will confuse you, and damage you psychologically…Christians would rather submit to the theory that they have killed their god and now believe in the supremacy and power of Satan. Try to imagine the type of mentality that is build upon such a belief: Masochism, suicide, Satanism…they confuse the matter still more by introducing the fable of the Risen Christ, but have never produced a solitary witness to testify that he or she actually saw Christ ascending…One certain factor in the propagation of this nonsense is that the priests want poor, simple folk to believe in Jesus as the Son of God, whereas Jesus himself never proclaimed to be such… The vicars of Christ, after having completely confused western man in the matter of belief, use this method to manipulate the people in such a way that the priests are accepted as gods who have the power to send people to Heaven, Hell, or atone their sins… By having put their god on a crucifix as opposed to executing Satan, they not only have blasphemed against the Wisdom and Judgment of God Almighty, but reduced Him to a role of subservience to Satan. Similarly, by attributing the words of the Bible to God, they also attribute all their fallacies, inaccuracies, irrationalities, lies, and contradictions to Him!"

-- "Psycho-Religious Causes of Some Incurable Diseases," MOA Web site Back to Menu

On Gays
"The agents of Shaytan (Satan) are many. Many efforts are put forth to mislead masses into darkness via Satanic philosophies, ideologies, and schisms brought forth to divide and keep humanity divided, resulting in immorality, bigotry, break-down of family structure, and numerous unspeakable crimes against humanity. A perfect example of this point would be homosexuality."

-- "Conspiracies Against Islam," MOA Web site Back to Menu

On America
"America is no longer the home of the free and the land of the brave. The constitution and the Bill of rights are just pieces of paper that don't mean a damn thing anymore, unless you are white and an anti Muslim hatemonger of course. The Ku Klux Klan no longer need to wear pointed hoods and remain underground, as they are sitting in the oval office and walking the halls of congress."

-- MOA E-mail, October 13, 2001 Back to Menu

On Violence
"All Muslim nations are in danger because the enemy will not rest until it has subjugated (or eliminated) ISLAM from the map, while it defends the terrorism of Israel….We must put a stop to the violence and aggression against our peoples, by our people by force if necessary. We must work with each other and collectively refuse to accept the injustice and aggression of the West and [its] protege Israel. If we take these steps be assured that ALLAH…will do the rest."

-- MOA E-mail, December 14, 2001

"The Ummah cannot afford to sit back complacently as an idle observer witnessing his own destruction. Along with a return to Allah, Muslims are required to sacrifice and aid those who are in the forefront in the field to guard the Ummah and Islam. Rasulullah (Sallallahu-'Alayhi-Wa-Sallam) said 'that there will always remain a small devoted band of his followers who will remain ever vigilant, holding aloft the Standard of Islam...exposing themselves to dangers and sacrificing their all for the Love of Allah...Muslims who are unable to enter into this field of effort and sacrifice are at least required to aid this Holy Task with their Du'as [prayers] and financial resources and with whatever other means they possess. If the Muslims fail in this duty, they will most assuredly be apprehended by the Punishment of Allah..."

Obama helped Kill his Friends

Do you think if Obama killed one of his " Brother" Muslims don't think he wouldn't blink an eye in an order to kill America Citizens . Who would he start with . The Billionaire and Millionaires of Wall Street. Wall Street is a code name for Jews. You Christians and Atheist think you are Scott free NO! after they eliminate the Jews they will come after you.
 Muammar Gaddafi sealed his fate by exposing Obama as a Muslim and a Friend. Anyone who Obama told he was a Muslims and not connected with the Muslim Brotherhood are being killed. Obama knew Bin Lidan, Mubarak, he told Syria they are next. He was part of the upraising as a Senator in Kenya to make it a Muslim Country with his relative  cousin Raila Odinga. Odinga and Obama are from the same Kenyan Luo tribe. Odinga supporters are the people that are burning Christians alive, trapped inside churches! Most of Odinga's fanatical followers are radical Islamists who have pushed for Islamic Sharia Law, total banning of other religions and closing of co-ed schools, night clubs and western public dress code are considered immoral. Odinga was educated in Former Soviet controlled East Germany and maintains a strong loyalty to the vision of his ‘Educators’ and has allied with Islamist in order to gain their political support. 

OBAMA TAKES TIME TO SHOW HIS KENYAN RELATIVES BASED IN U.K. AND KENYA THE (WHITE) BLACK HOUSE!-I.THISISLONDON.CO.UK

OBAMA WITH HIS STEP-GRANDMOTHER ON HIS AUGUST 2006 VISIT TO KENYA

PRESIDENT OBAMA TAKES TIME TO SHOW HIS KENYAN RELATIVES AROUND THE WHITE HOUSE AS SOON AS HE MOVED IN!

Odinga is the man that ran on the socialist democrat ticket in Kenya and lost. Just like Obama ran on a Democratic ticket with his hidden agenda that he was a Islamic Socialist.  

FROM i.thisislondon.co.uk

THESE are the first pictures of Barack Obama inside the White House with his British stepmother.
Taken the day he was sworn in as President, they show him giving Kezia Obama and the rest of his extended family a tour of his new home.
Embraced by Mrs Obama, who travelled to Washington DC from her council house in Bracknell, the President proudly posed in an official reception for the family.
He is also surrounded by his half-brother Abongo, his sister-in-law, niece, nephew and other relatives, who all travelled from Kenya and were in the VIP enclosure for his inauguration in January.
Mrs Obama, 66, who was married to the President’s late father, also named Barack, when they lived in Kenya, wore a traditional African outfit made in Tanzania especially for the big day.Abongo Obama, who flew from the family’s ancestral home in Kogelo, western Kenya, just days before, said: “Barack gave us a grand tour of the White House. It was amazing to be in there with him. This is his new home. He has come a long way.”
The 51-year-old accountant, who was best man at the President’s wedding, added: “My brother had such a hectic schedule that day, but he still took time out for us.”
Despite sharing the family’s jubilation, he told of his fears President Obama could be assassinated.
“There are crazy people out there, there is always a danger someone will try to hurt him,” he said. “That’s something I worry about all the time. Security was so tight, yet there were times when he was out there shaking hands with the public and I just saw how exposed he is and it scared me.”
He also revealed how his brother had sent a personal note to the family on official White House stationery once they returned to Kenya. The note read: “To the people of K’Obama – Thank you for the prayers and support!”
A similar letter was sent to the people of Kogelo, some of whom had travelled to the US for the historic occasion. The President’s 86-year-old paternal grandmother Sarah was also in Washington DC for his swearing-in ceremony, as well as his half-sister Auma, 49, and half-brothers Ben, 38, and Abo, 40.
Mr Obama said: “I am looking forward to going back and staying with Barack at the White House, but it won’t ever be the same.
“We can’t just hang out like we used to and sit in a bar with a few drinks catching up. I will miss that and he will too but this was his dream, he knew he had to make certain sacrifices.”
After marrying Mrs Obama, Barack Obama Snr went on to marry President Obama’s mother Ann Dunham – an American he met during a scholarship to the United States. He eventually returned to his first wife, with whom he had four children, and died in 1982.
President Obama first met his Kenyan relatives during a trip to Africa in his twenties, after his father died.
THESE are the first pictures seen of Barack Obama inside the White House with his family including his British stepmother just hours after he was sworn in as President.
The family snaps given exclusively to the Standard reveal a private moment when Mr Obama took time out of his busy schedule to show his relatives around his new home.
Embraced by his stepmother Kezia Obama, who travelled to Washington DC from her council house in Bracknell, Berkshire, the President proudly posed in one of several grand rooms, for the first of many family portraits.
He is also surrounded by his half-brother Abongo, his sister-in-law , niece, nephew and other relatives, who all travelled from Kenya and were in the VIP enclosure for his inauguration in January.
Mrs Obama, 66, who was married to the President’s late father, also named Barack, when they lived in their homeland of Kenya, wore a traditional African outfit especially made in Tanzania for the big day.
Pictured on the far left, Abongo Obama, who flew in from the family’s ancestral home in Kogelo, western Kenya, just days before, said: “Barack gave us a grand tour of the White House. It was amazing to be in there with him. This is his new home. He has come a long way.”
The 51-year-old accountant, who was best man at the President’s wedding, added: “My brother had such a hectic schedule that day but he still took time out for us.”
Despite sharing the family’s jubilation he told of his fears President Obama could become an assassination target.
“There are crazy people out there, there is always a danger someone will try to hurt him, that’s something I worry about all the time,” said Mr Obama. “Security was so tight yet there were times when he was out there shaking hands with the public and I just saw how exposed he is and it scared me.”

Barack Obama and his cousin Raila Odinga

 

Odinga supporters are the people that are burning Christians alive, trapped inside churches.

What does Obama have in store for America?  Socialist Islamic SHARIA!


My main concern is to protect the USA and to remove all of the Laws Obama implemented without the approval of WE the People.  All new laws should be voted on not only by the Houses but also by the people. It seems the House does not listen to We the People.



It wasan’t that long ago that Muammar Gaddafi heiled Obama as a Muslim and a friend.
Now he’s dead.
Libyan tyrant Muammar Gaddafi praised Barack Obama in February and acknowledged his Muslim descent.
It’s not the first time he said that Obama was Muslim.

Gaddafi said the whole Arab world is ready to throw their financial support behind this Muslim candidate back in 2008.
YNet News reported:

Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi considers the US president a blessing to the Muslim world. In a speech published in London-based al-Hayat newspaper on Saturday, Gaddafi praised Barack Obama, called him a “friend” and said there is no longer any dispute between his country and the US.
Speaking in the Libyan city of Sirt at an event marking the 24th anniversary of an American attack on Libya, he said, “At the time, we were the target of the American cannon, the American navy challenged us in the gulf of Sirt and attacked us all along Libya’s shores. America tested Libya, and the Libyan people resisted the large country, but today, thank God, the difference is great.”
He said, “Now, ruling America is a black man from our continent, an African from Arab descent, from Muslim descent, and this is something we never imagined – that from Reagan we would get to Barakeh Obama.”
Gaddafi stressed that Obama’s presidency is “a major historical gain” and said, “He is someone I consider a friend. He knows he is a son of Africa. Regardless of his African belonging, he is of Arab Sudanese descent, or of Muslim descent. He is a man whose policy should be supported, and he should be assisted in implementing it in any way possible, since he is now leaning towards peace.”

Obviously, he wasn’t that close of a friend, Moammar.
   

children being forced to bow down to Islam…literally

European children being forced to bow down to Islam…literally

Posted: October 23, 2011 | Author: barenakedislam |

European children are being brainwashed into ‘respecting’ Islam with school-organized mosque visits and syllabuses that give undue prominence to a mythical Islamic ‘Golden Age.’

The picture below is from La Roche in France. The newspaper headline says “School pupils immerse themselves in Islam at La Roche mosque.”

Islam vs Europe  Here’s an excerpt from the British government website that provides information on the national curriculum. It describes a programme of lessons called “The Achievement of Muhammad (pbuh)” and discusses how to grade the childrens’ essays, quoting a few examples:

Over a number of lessons, the pupils had read and discussed texts about Muhammad’s (pbuh) life, covering his family’s reaction to his claims, as well as the reaction of people in Mecca and Medina. The pupils debated Muhammad’s (pbuh) achievements in groups and as a class.

As homework the teacher asked the pupils to answer the following assessment questions: Discuss the main events in Muhammad’s (pbuh) life that led others to believe he was a prophet from Allah (attainment target 1 beliefs, teachings and sources). What do you think Muhammad (pbuh) achieved in his life? (attainment target 2 meaning, purpose and truth).

Here’s a photo from of a trip to a mosque where British female students are forced to bow down to Allah:

Here are some excerpts from the children’s essays:

JOHN: “I think the main events in Muhammad’s life which led others to believe he was a prophet were when he had a vision from Gabriel in a cave outside Mecca. Some may think that he could have made it up but I think he was telling the truth because he was so convinced and honest that it could well have happened. Also he has so much to back him up and he couldn’t have just made it all up. Personally I think Muhammad was a great man and he had much strength and courage to do what he did and he has only God to thank for that.”

ALEX: Muhammad achieved an extremely big thing in his life. Creating a religion is very hard but creating a religion that is the second biggest in the world is even harder.

LAURA: Muhammad left his country and moved to Medina. During his time there he saw how much hatred there was, so he took it upon himself to do something about it. He brought the Medinian and Meccan Muslims together, and got them working alongside each other. …He preached to people who believed in many gods ad whose lives were full of sin and united religions and differences… I believe spreading the news of what you believe in, and totally changing a country from bad to good is a great achievement in anyone’s life.

[Message to American parents from BNI: Your children may be subjected to the same kind of Islamic brainswashing in their schools. Make sure you know what/if they are teaching them about Islam and raise Hell with the school board at any hints of Islamic indoctrination. It has already happened in some US public schools and American parents have succeeded in getting it eliminated from the curriculum]

It happens here in the USA

Muslim wants Smoke and Fire instead of Bomb and Explosives

Feds: Airline attack suspect sought martyrdom

 DETROIT—A young Nigerian on a terrorist mission for al-Qaida prayed, washed and put on perfume moments before trying to detonate a bomb in his underwear to bring down an international jetliner on Christmas 2009, a prosecutor told jurors as the man's trial opened Tuesday.

Virtually everyone aboard Northwest Airlines Flight 253 had holiday plans, butUmar Farouk Abdulmutallabbelieved his calling was martyrdom, Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Tukel said.

In the plane's bathroom, "he was engaging in rituals. He was preparing to die and enter heaven," Tukel said. "He purified himself. He washed. He brushed his teeth. He put on perfume. He was praying and perfuming himself to get ready to die."

After returning to his seat, Abdulmutallab pushed a small plunger on the chemical bomb in his underwear, an action that produced a "pop," the prosecutor told jurors.

The bomb didn't work as planned but Abdulmutallab was engulfed in flames, said Tukel, who displayed the flight's seating chart on a screen to show jurors where things happened on the plane.

Opening statements began after an unexplained 70-minute recess requested by Abdulmutallab and his attorney, Anthony Chambers, shortly after they entered the courtroom. Abdulmutallab, 24, came to court wearing a dashiki, an African gown, and black skull cap and was silent as he settled at the defense table.

Before the recess, Chambers asked the judge to ban the word "bomb" or "explosive" from being used in the trial until final arguments, saying it's up to the jury to decide what caused the smoke and fire.

"I'm going to deny that motion. ... It makes no sense whatsoever," U.S. District Judge Nancy Edmunds said.

Edmunds also told Detroit-area attorney Kurt Haskell to leave the courtroom before opening statements began because he could be called as a defense witness. He was a passenger on Flight 253 and believes the U.S. government conspired with Abdulmutallab to outfit him with a fake bomb.

Abdulmutallab is acting as his own lawyer. But he is relying on Chambers to handle the minute-by-minute work in the courtroom.

Chambers will grill most of the government's witnesses and persuaded Abdulmutallab to let him give the opening defense statement later Tuesday. The result is likely to be a more focused defense and not a wild justification for trying to bring down the Amsterdam-to-Detroit flight.

Abdulmutallab has written a few court filings in his own hand, including a request to be judged by Islamic law. He has at times appeared agitated in court, declaring that Osama bin Laden and a radical Muslim cleric recently killed by the U.S. are alive. He also has objected to trial testimony from experts who will talk about al-Qaida and martyrdom.

The government's evidence is stacked high. Abdulmutallab was badly burned in a plane full of witnesses. The government says he told FBI agents he was working for al Qaida and directed by Anwar al-Alwaki, a radical, American-born Muslim cleric recently killed by the U.S. in Yemen. There are photos of his scorched shorts as well as video of Abdulmutallab explaining his suicide mission before departing for the U.S.

Chambers, 50, came to the case a year ago after Abdulmutallab fired a four-member team from the Detroit Federal Defender Office and said he would represent himself. It's common for a federal judge to appoint a lawyer as "standby counsel" to assist someone who chooses to go alone.

But Chambers, an attorney for 26 years, has done more than stand by. He filed detailed challenges to the government's use of Abdulmutallab's incriminating statements made from a hospital bed and without Miranda warnings. He also thoroughly cross-examined a pharmacologist who testified during a pretrial hearing about the effects of a painkiller given to Abdulmutallab for his burns before the FBI interview.

"The goal of the court is to get the best representation so no one down the road can claim (Abdulmutallab) was railroaded or forced to assume a responsibility he could not handle," explained David Steingold, a longtime Detroit defense attorney.

North Carolina Muslims surveilled USMC base for jihad plot

Terrorism trial centers on social media

September 21, 2011 8:40 PM

Sue Book

Facebook reeled in more than 750 million users in seven short years and now some alleged terrorist conspirators have made a federal case out of it in New Bern.
It’s not the first time legal concerns about the social media site have surfaced. But even as the clerk passed out copies of Maryland and South Carolina cases where its user pages were at issue, U.S. Eastern District Federal Court Judge Louise Flanagan told prosecuting and defense attorneys: “You are making law in this case. The Facebook issue is huge.
“I am very cautious because of the significance of this,” Flanagan said, after handing back a five-inch thick folder of Facebook printed pages to Assistant U.S. Attorney John Bowler.
Flanagan’s comments came near the close of court Wednesday in the high-profile terrorism trial of three Wake County men accused of conspiracy in the case.
She said the advertisements printed on the pages could adversely influence a juror, cause them “to make judgment calls” about the defendants as users. She expressed concern about her ruling because of the evolving nature of the social media site as it defines a user’s interests or assigns potential “friends” because of them.   
Often users are paired with products or people because of interests gathered by website visits from cookies collected by search engines and sites they visit. Sometimes these are exchanged or funneled to advertisers.
The government had attempted to enter the Facebook exchanges as part of more than 35,000 pages of evidence in the government’s case against Hysen Sherifi, Mohammad Omar Aly Hassan and Ziyad Yaghi, who were charged in a Sept. 24, 2009 federal indictment.
The three men, part of a group known as the “Tar Heel terrorists” or “homegrown terrorists,” all face charges of conspiracy to provide material support for terrorists and conspiracy to murder, kidnap, maim and injure.
Sherifi, 27, a Kosovo native who came as a refugee at age 15 during the war there and is now a permanent U.S. resident, is also charged with illegal possession of firearms and conspiracy to kill officials of the federal government.
The Facebook exchanges surfaced as part of the testimony of the government’s first witness, FBI Agent Paul Minella. Much of the evidence in the trial hinges on whether information from Facebook pages can be introduced as evidence.
Defense attorneys, particular Hassan’s attorney Dan Boyce of Raleigh, objected to the evidence as hearsay, setting in motion the court inquiry.
After excusing the jury for lunch, Flanagan heard from government attorneys about several cases they say substantiate their claim to the legitimacy of the Facebook exchanges but she still had questions and Boyce continued his objections with conflicting case law.
Flanagan said she agreed with government attorneys’ general interpretation that verifying the source of postings is similar to verifying wiretaps “but it’s somewhat different, too.”
Boyce said he objected less to using the postings he could verify with witnesses he could cross examine but continued his objection to using the Facebook postings from those for whom he will not have that opportunity.
“I’m sensitive to that aspect of the argument,” Flanagan. “I’m somewhat in agreement with what (government) counsel has said. Let’s look at the law.”
 “Pull some cases,” Flanagan said. “I want to see those cases. This may go to things like Twitter. I would benefit greatly from that.”
Wednesday morning’s testimony from Minella and cross examination by Sherifi’s New Bern defense attorney, Robert J. McAfee, showed some connection between Sherifi and Daniel Patrick “Safullah” Boyd, the man described as the “hub” of a terrorism conspiracy that led to the Middle East and Kosovo.
Boyd and his two sons charged in the indictment have pleaded guilty and await sentencing; the father faces up to life and 15 years in prison. He is expected to testify in the trial over talk and interaction between 2006 and 2009 that conspired and gave material support toward exercising a “violent jihad.”
But the FBI witness outlined undercover operations that McAfee contends lured his client into places and situations, using a former bank robber paid more than $111,000 plus a car and expenses valued at over $55,000. The money paid for the bugged apartment where Sherifi lived with the man, and the tapped telephone and hacked computer he used there.
McAfee substantiated that the informant known by codename “Jawbreaker” was also given “special benefits” after he overstayed his visa and was in the U.S. illegally.
In the beginning of Boyce’s cross examination of Minella, he substantiated that his client Hassan was not in any of the photos, wiretaps and other surveillance documents except for a summer 2007 trip to the Middle East.
Addressing Minella’s verification of Hassan’s purchase of a rifle at Dick’s Sporting Goods in March 2007, Boyce said the purchase was entirely a legal and constitutional act and that the information he provided checked out as truthful.
Afternoon testimony from the government’s second witness, Abdullah Eddarkoui, who was escorted in an out by agents, required a course for jurors in using the court’s listening technology for segments of many conversations between Eddarkoui and Boyd. Eddarkoui is Moroccan and speaks Arabic and French. He was difficult to understand and, although he spoke in open court, the public and press often could not hear him.
His testimony often came over the objections of defense attorneys but was mostly permitted by Flanagan to allow the government to begin showing how elements evolved in the conspiracy of a “violent jihad” with fellow mujahideen or “fighters for God.”
There are hundreds of hours of audio tape collected over several years.
The trial of another of the eight charged in the indictment, defendant Anes Subasic, who is defending himself, is ongoing in federal court in Greenville. The eighth defendant, Jude Kenan Mohammad, has not been apprehended.

North Carolina Muslims surveilled USMC base for jihad plot

Posted on September 23, 2011 by creeping

That, according to a Muslim informant. via NC trial focuses on plot to kill service personnel – Houston Chronicle.

NEW BERN, N.C. (AP) — Federal prosecutors played tapes on Wednesday of a North Carolina man describing his plans to organize a terrorist attack on the U.S. Marine Corps base in Quantico, Va.

The tape of Daniel Patrick Boyd, who pleaded guilty to federal terrorism charges in February, was played during the trial of three men accused of plotting terrorist attacks with him.

Boyd could be heard on the recording bragging about how easy it would be for him and a team to gain access to the Marine base and kidnap or kill service members and their families.

“My father was an officer,” Boyd, who converted to Islam as a teenager, says on the tapes. “What will they say, their hero’s son cutting their head off?”

What Boyd didn’t know was that the man he was speaking to, Abdullah Eddarkoui, was a paid informant for the FBI who was wearing a wire.

The secret recording Eddarkoui made of the conversation outside Boyd’s house near Raleigh was so clear frogs could be heard croaking in the background.

Eddarkoui was a key witness Wednesday as prosecutors began building their case against three men alleged to have plotted with Boyd and his sons to attack the Marine base and targets overseas.

Mohammad Omar Aly Hassan, Ziyad Yaghi and Hysen Sherifi have pleaded not guilty. A fourth defendant, Anes Subasic, has declined to have an attorney represent him and will be tried following the conclusion of the trial for the others.

FBI Agent Paul Minella, who recruited Eddarkoui to work for the government, testified that a multiyear surveillance effort used subpoenas and paid informants to collect a trove of evidence about the group, including bank records, emails, Facebook posts and audio tapes.

Boyd pleaded guilty in February to charges of conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists and conspiracy to murder, kidnap and injure persons in a foreign country. Now the man who liked to call himself “Safallah,” the Arabic word for “Sword of God,” is expected to testify for the prosecution.

Two of Boyd’s sons, Dylan and Zakariya Boyd, have also pleaded guilty.

Eddarkoui, a Moroccan living in the United States illegally, was working in a Durham beauty supply store in 2005 when Minella recruited him to infiltrate a Raleigh mosque and befriend Boyd, according to testimony. His FBI code name was “Jawbreaker.”

In one of the tapes made by the informant, Boyd describes a reconnaissance visit to Quantico and being surprised at how easily he could drive along streets where Marine officers lived. The fact the Virginia base is built around a town, he said, made it a better target than a more secure facility, such as Fort Bragg in North Carolina.

“The generals’ wives, they’re jogging,” he said of Quantico. “Their children are playing.”

Boyd said it would be easy to enter the home of a general and hold him hostage.

“I’ll kick in his door and take him from his bed,” he said.

One of the defendants on trial Wednesday, Hysen Sherifi, was present for some of the taped conversations. Boyd assured the informant Sherifi would participate in an attack.

“Hysen … he will do it,” Boyd told Eddarkoui. “He won’t question anything.”

Attorneys for Hassan, Yaghi and Sherfi said in their opening arguments that the men are innocent and knew nothing of Boyd’s plans. They also worked to undermine Eddarkoui’s credibility, pointing out that he got a green card making him a legal United States resident after working with the FBI.

He was also paid nearly $111,000 by the FBI over five years and given another $55,000 for expenses that included buying a car and paying rent for a Raleigh apartment wired with secret microphones.

In a taped conversation, Boyd expressed admiration for terrorist leaders that included Osama bin Laden and said the orders he heard from jihadist leaders with recordings on the Internet were clear: “Hit everything you can that hurt America and the Jew.”

After prosecutors say he was foiled in a 2007 plot to commit terrorist attacks in Israel, Boyd turned his attention to the possibility of committing a terrorist attack at home. As an example, he gave the 1994 bombing of the World Trade Center carried out by a group of men from New Jersey.

Though Boyd feared he was under surveillance, he told Eddarkoui that the United States was still a good place to plot and execute a terrorist attack.

“Before you had to be smart,” Boyd told the government informant wearing a concealed microphone. “Now you have to be really smart.”

In audio recordings of conversations between Boyd and Jawbreaker that were played in court, Boyd talked about his intentions to attack Quantico. He spoke of how easy it would be to get on the base because it’s also a city.

“I did some preliminary reconnaissance, and what I saw was amazing. I saw the residences of all their commanding officers,” Boyd said in one recording, adding that Sherifi was in on the plan.

Jawbreaker said Boyd was intensely loyal to Afghanistan, where he traveled in 1989 to join the fight against Soviet occupation. Boyd always wanted to fight non-Muslims, the informant said.

“Every single day, it was about jihad and fighting,” Jawbreaker testified.

An FBI search of Boyd’s Willow Spring home in 2009 turned up about two dozen guns and more than 27,000 rounds of ammunition.

A seventh defendant, Anes Subasic, is representing himself and will be tried after the case against Hassan, Yaghi and Sherifi is finished. Their trial is expected to last five weeks.

Authorities believe another man charged in the case, Jude Kenan Mohammad, 22, is in Pakistan. A ninth member of the group, Bajram Asllani, 30, was arrested in Kosovo last year, but the U.S. doesn’t have an extradition treaty with that country.

Jude Kenan Mohammad was the name used to stir up fear, and trample liberties, this past 9/11.
