Fort Hood

Foiled Jihad in Seattle

June 26th, 2011

Two men were arrested last week in a plot to attack a military recruiting station in Seattle. Abu Khalid Abdul-Latif, (Joseph Anthony Davis) and Walli Mujahidh (Frederick Domingue) had planned use machine guns and grenades to attack the Military Entrance Processing Station, a site that houses many civilians, military employees, and a daycare.  The plot was foiled when a potential accomplice contacted authorities. 
Todd Hinnen, Acting Assistant Attorney General for National Security was quoted saying, "Driven by a violent, extreme ideology, these two young Americans are charged with plotting to murder men and women who were enlisting in the Armed Forces to serve and protect our country. This is one of a number of recent plots targeting our military here at home.”
Abdul-Latif had said that if a single gunman at Fort Hood could kill 13 people, three gunmen could kill many more. He added, “Imagine how fearful America will be, and they’ll know they can’t push Muslims around.”

US authorities refuse to “connect the dots”

December 29th, 2009
The New York Post in an article today entitled Lying to Ourselves speaks about the fact that Umar Abdulmutallab, a wealthy Muslim university graduate, clearly planned to carry out his attacks on Christmas day in the name of religious fanaticism. What he planned was a terror attack on Northwestern flight 253, inspired by the doctrine of radical Islam. His own father, a wealthy reputable banker in Nigeria, called the US embassy to warn them that his son had become radicalized. And yet, not only did the security system fail to catch him, our administration refuses to connect this incident with radical Islamic terror. Much like the initial reactions after Fort Hood, our government rejects the claim that this man acted out of religious zeal. By continuing to ignore this fact and try and interpret every incident as isolated, we are only making it easier for the terrorists to take another shot at us. They have a well financed, global network powered by religious fervor and a penetrating ideology that has its goals set on bringing down the West. Until we stop lying to ourselves and our administration starts to “connect the dots” no number of deodorant cans collected at the airport will put a real end to the terror.
