Boston Muslim accused of plot to kill shoppers, troops

AMEHANNATIME_P1Tarek Mehanna, who grew up just outside Boston, has been in hot water with the FBI for a few years now.

First he lied to the FBI about the whereabouts of a terrorist suspect who is now serving 10 years in federal prison.

Now he finds himself in even worse trouble because he and a couple of pals evidently sought terrorist training in Pakistan but couldn’t seem to find a crew that would accept them.

What the article below does not mention is the fact that Jihadist groups overseas are becoming wary of American Jihadi candidates because they fear infiltration. (The first article linked below makes it appear that Mehanna and company were simply incompetent in their quest to join the Jihad. This is misleading, bad journalism.)

Of course, if you listen to the local Muslim community in Boston, they would have you believe that Mehanna was just an all-American kid and would never get involved in anything having to do with Jihad.

Then how did he end up involved with a guy who will be sitting in federal prison on a terrorist-related conviction in the first place?

Or does this qualify as “all-American” activity according to Mehanna’s friends, family and associates???

Here is a more incisive article on this case:

Newsweek plays waterboy for the enemy

The hopelessly clueless and biased staff at Newsweek has decided that it’s time we realized that radical Islam is a fact of life and just something we have to learn to live with…

 

Newsweek: The ultimate dhimmis

Newsweek: The ultimate dhimmis

The whole problem is that many of us will NOT live thanks to “radical” Islam. Like the 241 Marines, sailors and soldiers murdered by Hezbollah in Beirut in 1983, the 19 airmen killed at the Khobar Towers in 1996, the 17 sailors killed on board the USS Cole in 2000 and of course the 3000+ innocent Americans killed on 9/11.

Basically what Newsweek is suggesting is that we adopt John Kerry’s concept of getting back to when terrorism was just a nuisance. Terrorism is a loser for the Left. The only way they can be successful politically is if they can convince Americans that there is no terrorist threat.

But what if we get hit again?

The Newsweek cover is sort of a pre-emptive strike by the Left. They’re telling us that we just need to learn to live with terrorism.

Oh, it’s OK to go after Al Qaeda–but only in a law enforcement/criminal setting, not as a war/enemy setting.

Any by no means are we to do anything to address the underlying doctrines that underpin organizations like Al Qaeda and Hezbollah. 

The Muslim Brotherhood must be dancing…er…the Muslim Brotherhood must be very satisfied with their friends at Newsweek…
