That's my point, the FBI pretty much snitched on themselves and they got caught in lies and multiple stories, that is why it's a conspiracy and not a theory... things get covered up and or erased and that's a fact start reading...


I have read because I would be sad for the people of America but nothing would make me happier if such a conspiracy was true to take this federal government down many notches to restore the peoples rights and power. But there is not even the slightest hint this was anything but muslim terrorists doing what they planned.

Amen!
Group Responsible: Islamic extremist groups which Salameh, Ajaj, Abuhalima, Ayyad, Ismoil and Yousef were all connected.

Synopsis: For approximately two months prior to the bombing the conspirators gathered materials needed for the terrorist act. They resided in New Jersey and apparently rented storage space that was used as a staging area for the bomb and subsequent loading of it into a Ryder rental van. The terrorists drove the 1,500-pound urea-nitrate bomb into the basement area of the World Trade Center and then set the timer and left. The explosion rocked the World Trade Center killing six people and injuring over a thousand others. These criminals dawned a new age in terrorism, the wholesale attack on civilians with the desire to inflict as much damage as possible. The men that committed this heinous crime have been linked to several terrorist groups including the Islamic Jihad, Hamas and Sudanese National Islamic Front.

And now:

30 April

Schoolgirls in Nigeria abducted by suspected members of Boko Haram are being converted to Islam and taken as brides in forced marriages, said Pogu Bitrus, chairman of the Chibok Development Association.

Of the 230 students still missing following an April 14 raid on a school hostel in the Chibok area in the northeastern state of Borno, about 200 are Christians and the rest Muslims, Bitrus, who represents the body of community leaders, said yesterday.

Borno is the birthplace of the Islamist militant group Boko Haram, which means “western education is a sin” in the Hausa language. The group wants to impose Shariah, or Islamic law, in Africa’s biggest oil producer and largest economy. Leader Abubakar Shekau warned in a video obtained in March that all students should leave university and girls drop out of school to get married.

So, instead of just raping them, they are marrying them, THEN raping them.
 
And Then:

30 April

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A surge in the number of aggressive al-Qaida affiliates and like-minded groups the Middle East and North Africa poses a serious threat to U.S. interests and allies, the State Department said Wednesday in reporting a more than 40 percent increase in terrorist attacks worldwide between 2012 and 2013.

The department also singled out Iran as a major state sponsor of terrorism that continues to defy demands it prove its atomic ambitions are peaceful even as Washington pursues negotiations with Tehran over its nuclear program.

In its annual global terrorism report, the department said that losses in al-Qaida's core leadership in Pakistan and Afghanistan "accelerated" the network's decentralization in 2013. That has resulted in more autonomous and more aggressive affiliates, notably in Yemen, Syria, Iraq, northwest Africa, and Somalia, it said.

I guess it is up to me to defend the majority of Muslims since 'ours' appear to have vanished.

The point is that not ALL Muslims are terrorists. And it is the Fundamentalists who strap bombs to themselves and then get on a school bus that make the rest look bad.

And, of course, the same things you said about Islam could be said about various branches of Christianity. You have to point no further than the "Westboro" church to see a message of hate, and lies for that matter. And the history of say Ireland to see where absolute brutality was practiced with both sides preaching Jesus Loves You.

Now, that having been said, some of your objection is true.

Under Sharia as usually practiced: Women are nothing more than Property, and other religions are prohibited, including other branches of Islam.

As for the line "their own 'holy' book orders them to kill anyone who does not agree with...."

That is true, and I'm not just talking about the verse about the Jew hiding behind a rock....

Fighting has been enjoined upon you while it is hateful to you. But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah Knows, while you know not.
They ask you about the sacred month - about fighting therein. Say, "Fighting therein is great [sin], but averting [people] from the way of Allah and disbelief in Him and [preventing access to] al-Masjid al-Haram and the expulsion of its people therefrom are greater [evil] in the sight of Allah . And fitnah is greater than killing." And they will continue to fight you until they turn you back from your religion if they are able. And whoever of you reverts from his religion [to disbelief] and dies while he is a disbeliever - for those, their deeds have become worthless in this world and the Hereafter, and those are the companions of the Fire, they will abide therein eternally.
Indeed, those who have believed and those who have emigrated and fought in the cause of Allah - those expect the mercy of Allah . And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
Noble Qur'an 2 : 216 - 218


If the hypocrites and those in whose hearts is disease and those who spread rumors in al-Madinah do not cease, We will surely incite you against them; then they will not remain your neighbors therein except for a little.
Accursed wherever they are found, [being] seized and massacred completely.
Noble Qur'an 33 : 60 and 61

I've tended to keep my nose out on this topic, I had a feeling it would all go abit over my head. Which it has. However I will say this. Not ALL Muslims are terrorists, HOWEVER the majority of terrorists are Muslims.

You might have something if Muslims were not something like less then 1% of our American population. Now look at that pie chart and it looks mighty bad for them.

Now lets look at the rest of the world and it is down right frightening.


A little less than every five hours, somewhere around the world a Muslim is carrying out a fatal jihadist attack.
These are not the regular beatings and vandalism against Christians, Hindus and Buddhists but religion-oriented attacks in which someone dies at the hand of a member of the”religion of peace.”
A website called “The Religion of Peace” has listed more than 20,000 such fatal attacks since Sept. 11, 2001.
As of today, the total was 20,022. The 20,000th came a few days ago when a Jewish woman was cut in pieces in Iran by religious radicals “intent on expanding a mosque.”
Some 1,800 deadly Muslim terror attacks happen each year, amounting to about 150 a month and five a day.

As far as that pie chart is concerned, we have to know what exactly they call a terrorist attack as an act of violence isn't necessarily terrorism. You also have to account for the percentage of people who belong in each group that live in the US as well. These facts are left out of the pie chart and therefore muddle any attempt for it to convey any point as to how the breakdown of terrorist attacks by group.
 
I am surprised they did not include us "extremist" conservative right wingers as a separate category. Must mean we are not the violent type as we always get portrayed as?
 
5 May

LAGOS, Nigeria - Nigeria's Islamic extremist leader threatened in a videotaped statement seen on Monday to sell the more than 200 teenage schoolgirls abducted from a school in the remote northeast of the country three weeks ago.

Abubakar Shekau for the first time also claimed responsibility for the April 15 mass abduction, in a video reviewed by The Associated Press.

"I abducted your girls," said the leader of Boko Haram, which means "Western education is sinful."

"By Allah, I will sell them in the marketplace," he said in the hour-long video that starts with fighters lofting automatic rifles and shooting in the air as they chant "Allahu akbar!" or "God is great."

The originator of this thread may not be a terrorist. But these guys certainly are:


6 May

MAIDUGURI, Nigeria (Reuters) - Suspected Boko Haram gunmen kidnapped eight girls from a village near one of the Islamists' strongholds in northeastern Nigeria overnight, police and residents said on Tuesday.

The abduction of the girls, aged 12 to 15, follows the kidnapping of more than 200 other schoolgirls by the militant group last month, whom it has threatened to sell into slavery.

evidently the selling of the girls is one step too far for even the 'mainstream Islamic terrorists'... but, curiously enough though, they are not assisting in the effort to locate and rescue them.

What is that about actions speaking louder than words again?


7 May

ABUJA, Nigeria — As word spread like wildfire on Twitter and Facebook that Nigerian militants were preparing to auction off more than 200 kidnapped schoolgirls in the name of Islam, a very different Internet network started quietly buzzing too.

“Such news is spread to taint the image of the Mujahedeen,” wrote one dubious poster on a web forum used by Islamic militants whose administrator uses a picture of Osama bin Laden. “I have brothers from Africa who are in this group,” attested another, insisting that they were like “the Quran walking the earth.”

Boko Haram, the cultlike Nigerian group that carried out the kidnappings, was rejected long ago by mainstream Muslim scholars and Islamist parties around the world for its seemingly senseless cruelty and capricious violence against civilians. But this week its stunning abduction appeared too much even for fellow militants normally eager to condone terrorist acts against the West and its allies.

Islamist militants Boko Haram have released a video apparently showing about 130 girls kidnapped from a school in northern Nigeria on 14 April.

Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau said the children would be held until all imprisoned militants had been freed.

Interior Minister Abba Moro rejected the deal, telling the BBC that it was "absurd" for a "terrorist group" to try to set conditions.

Boko Haram abducted more than 200 girls and threatened to sell them.

Let's see.... this is being proposed in

A. Salt Lake City to prevent busloads of Hare Krishna's from coming to town?

B. Detroit to keep out groups of Japanese tourists with fancy cameras?

C. New Jersey to stop groups of Amish teenagers from hitting Atlantic City?

D. Something else entirely, but it can't be mentioned in US Media.


13 May 2014

Kenya's police chief David Kimaiyo has ordered the seizure of commuter buses with tinted windows.

The move was intended to prevent attacks by militant Islamists from neighbouring Somalia, he said.

Police believe it will be easier to spot militants in vehicles with untinted windows, says the BBC's Robert Kiptoo in the capital, Nairobi.

Explosions on two buses in the city killed three people and wounded more than 80 earlier this month.

The government believes the al-Qaeda-linked al-Shabab group was behind the attacks.

Our correspondent says previous appeals by the authorities that coaches and minibus taxis - known as matatus - should not have tinted windows were ignored.

Most Muslims are not al-Qaeda, alright? The only beliefs of al-Qaeda are the ideology of Sunni, the fundamentals of Islam, and Pan-Islamism.

As for the current leader of al-Qaeda, last name al-Zawahiri, he hired Muslim members of the group to capture American tourists in Muslim countries. Oh dear God! I've got to stay in America!
 
Most Muslims are NOT terrorists.

I believe I have said that.

HOWEVER.

That being said.

If a significant percentage of the population did not at least passively support those that were: by contributing to the mosques that supply them with what they need, by not discouraging the young people in their community from joining, by not reporting the activities of the group in their area... They ARE contributing to their operations.

If the PEOPLE stood together and said NO, eventually the group would move on.

Just as those that live in Chicago and while they say they disapprove of criminal gang activity, yet they don't do anything to discourage it are supporting the ongoing culture of violence in the city.

Just as Al Quede SAID they condemned the kidnapping of the girls in Nigeria, yet they are doing NOTHING to find and rescue them.

Talk, as it were, is CHEAP. And in some cases. It is also BS.
