Al-Qaeda's Illegal Immigration Threat Mark Landsbaum, FrontPageMagazine.com, March 7, 2005

The convergence of terrorist threats, a nuclear weapon black-market, a porous national border and escalating illegal immigration is finally attracting the attention the growing crisis deserves. Unfortunately, the attention is being paid by terrorists, not by the U.S. government.

“Several al-Qaeda leaders believe operatives can pay their way into the country through Mexico and also believe illegal entry is more advantageous than legal entry for operational security reasons,” Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security Admiral James Loy testified on February 16 before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. “At home, we must prepare ourselves for any attack, from IEDs (improvised explosive devices) to Weapons of Mass Destruction…from soft targets like malls to national icons.” Loy is hardly a lone voice.

The NY Times' Wahhabi Apologists Erick Stakelbeck, Front Page Mag, Mar. 7, 05

The indictment of American citizen Ahmed Omar Abu Ali for terrorism-related charges that include conspiring to assassinate President Bush made headlines last week in the New York Times. And as it has done previously when reporting on the War on Terror, the Times failed to get the real story.

Abu Ali attended the Islamic Saudi Academy in Virginia for high school and also spent a year at the Institute for Islamic and Arabic Sciences in America (IIASA). Both of these schools receive funding from the Saudi government and both have been the subject of repeated concerns regarding the intolerant, extremist Wahabbi material they use to “teach” students.

In a February 24 piece, the Times dutifully reported on Abu Ali’s student days and noted that the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) had previously complained about the Islamic Saudi Academy’s use of a textbook for first-graders that disparaged Judaism and Christianity. This left the unmistakable impression that CAIR is a moderate voice for American Muslims—and yet nothing could be further from the truth.

In fact, the Times neglected to mention a recent statement by CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper actually defending the Academy despite its attempted brainwashing of first- graders: . . .

[. . . . ] Perhaps no one exposes the disingenuity of CAIR better than Ibrahim Abdul Mu'min of the Free Muslim Coalition Against Terrorism. Speaking of CAIR and its persistent claims of America’s “victimization of Muslims,” he notes:

“The real victimizer is CAIR itself...Muslims are not in danger from America or in America. America and Muslims are in danger from CAIR.” [. . . . ]

Homegrown Sleeper Cells Barbara Stock, MichNews.com | March 7, 2005

There are thousands of Saudi-funded Islamic schools in America. While we have been aware of this for years, Americans were ignorant about what was being taught in those schools to American children who just happen to be Muslim. The Saudi Ministry of Education has been creating a network of sleeper-cells right in the heart of America.

For a modest investment, the Saudi government has had total access to thousands of young American minds and has used that opportunity to corrupt and mold those young minds into its view of the perfect Muslim. The perfect Muslim is full of hate for all non-Muslims, has no loyalty to the United States, and is convinced that only radical Islam - Wahhabism - is the correct interpretation of Islam. There are now thousands of pre-programmed terrorists in America, waiting for the war against the American infidel begin in earnest. These soldiers do not consider themselves: they know they are loyal Muslims in the army of Islam. [. . . . ]

Journalist promises to find the truth after shooting Mar. 7, 05, Maria Sanminiatelli

[. . . . ] Giuliana Sgrena, who was abducted Feb. 4 in Baghdad, spoke from a Rome hospital where she was recuperating Sunday from a shrapnel wound to the shoulder. The intelligence officer, Nicola Calipari, was killed when U.S. troops at a checkpoint fired at their vehicle Friday as they headed to the airport shortly after her release.

Sgrena said Calipari died shielding her, and that it was possible they were targeted deliberately because the United States opposes Italy's policy of negotiating with kidnappers. [. . . . ]

In an interview, without backing up her claim, Sgrena said it was possible she was targeted deliberately. The journalist, who works for the communist newspaper Il Manifesto - a fierce opponent of the war and a frequent critic of U.S. policy - said she knew nothing about a ransom, and offered no details on the talks.[. . . . ]
