Last night, two Muslim converts were arrested for plotting to blow up a military recruitment center in Seattle. The facility also houses a day care center.
The two men were identified as Abu Khalid Abdul-Latif (formerly known as Joseph Anthony Davis) and Walli Mujahidh (formerly known as Frederick Domingue, Jr.). Abdul-Latif and Mujahidh tried to recruit a third man but he went to the authorities instead. It is worth noting that the third man (who has not been identified) met Abdul-Latif and Mujahidh while serving in prison. Naturally, one wonders if they converted to Islam during their incarceration.
This arrest comes a little over week after New York Republican Congressman Peter King held hearings concerning Muslim radicalization in American prisons.
Unfortunately, I don’t think the matter of Muslim radicalization in our prisons will be taken seriously until these converts to Islam are successful in killing a large number of civilians. And even under those circumstances, the Obama Administration bend over backwards telling us not to jump to conclusions. Well, better to jump to conclusions than to have to jump out of windows.
UPDATE: Abdul-Latif said the bomb plot was inspired by the Fort Hood attacks. Yet I am sure the Obama Administration will invariably say, “Nothing to see here!!! Nothing to see here!!!”

I guess these two men missed the prison meeting where the islamic recruiters stated that islam is the religion of peace and brotherhood, and that anyone who tries to commit violence in Allah's/Mohammed's names are not of islam.
Every islamic recruiter does mention that, don't they??? They don't? Really??

If passed, that legislation would have given President Bush an additional weapon against bin Laden. If Dr. Paul's legislation had passed in 2001, it is likely bin Laden would not have been around until May of 2011."

Gee, I wonder if, when they had blown the center AND THE DAY CARE up, if Clint would have cared about THOSE babies being killed by Islamic terrorists? Probably not. Our job is to close our eyes and chant "Ron Paul" all day long. After all, Dr. Paul would have said that the blowing up and killing of babies would be our fault.

Fixated Israel Firster Nutbag Tool Job is all Pissy & PMS'y because many of We Tea Party Patriots, Our Tea Party Senator Dr.Rand Paul & Our Tea Party Co-Favorite Dr.Ron Paul Don't Asskiss His Personal Neo-Chickenhawk Israel Firster Agenda.
The Tea Party Rebellion Escalates.

Again, Clint, thanks for noting the problem here...it's really like working with a trainable dog with you, you know.
Anyhow, more fun to drive your BP up---President Obama screwed up and confused a DEAD MOH winner with a LIVE one in a speech to the 10th Mountain Division.
In case you're wondering why terrorists feel free to attack, it's because the Libertarians want non-interventionalism and the far left can't remember the names of the people its OWN President awards MOHs to. Both are totally worthless.
And that, Bob, explains my taunting. The additional background you need to know is that Clint stated that he didn't care when the little 3 month Vogel girl got her head cut off by Muslim terrorists recently in Israel. Clint is our leading Ron Paul supporter on this site. And the leading POS. The two are related.

Once Again, You're A Screwball Slandering Liar Israel Firster Fanatic Tool Job.
"Texas Rep. Ron Paul said Tuesday that he was delighted to hear of the death of Osama bin Laden.
The Texas Republican, and potential Republican presidential candidate, discussed the killing of bin Laden on The Diane Rehm Show, saying he is “still looking for more information” concerning the details of the killing.
"Mr. Paul said he supported the killing of bin Laden, adding that he voted for the authority to go after those responsible for 9/11."
"On October 10, 2001, Congressman Ron Paul led the effort in Congress to give President Bush the tools he needed to capture, dead or alive, Osama bin Laden and the other terrorists responsible for September 11th. Dr. Paul introduced on that day H.R. 3076 - The September 11 Marque and Reprisal Act of 2001.
If passed, that legislation would have given President Bush an additional weapon against bin Laden. If Dr. Paul's legislation had passed in 2001, it is likely bin Laden would not have been around until May of 2011."
