Recruiter Shooter Was Recent Convert to Islam, Abdul Muhammad

Details are trickling out regarding the shooter of the two soldiers yesterday in Arkansas.  Carlos Bledsoe, at only 24 years old, recently converted to Islam possibly on a trip to Yemen.  He changed his name upon his conversion to Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad.  Abdul will be charged with 15 counts of terrorism and capital murder.

Little Rock Police Chief Stuart Thomas says Muhammad intentionally targeted military personnel.

23-year-old Private William Long, of Conway, died as a result of his injuries.

18-year-old Private Second Class Quinton Ezeagwula, of Jacksonville, was also shot.  Chief Thomas says he is in stable condition and will recover.

Police say Muhammad opened fire because of his religious beliefs.  He was a recent convert to Islam.

“We have no indication that the suspect did act alone and of his own accord, and it’s our belief he acted with a specific intent to target military personnel and did so unilaterally and did so with intent today and today only,” Thomas said.

Police say Muhammad had never met his victims.

The following was also learned of the man in custody:

I have learned from a well-placed source that Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, who killed one soldier and wounded another at a a Little Rock military recruiting center today, and who faces charges of terrorism as well as first-degree murder, has recently returned from Yemen, where he studied jihad with an Islamic scholar there.

Apparently the Islamic scholar under whom this American convert to Islam studied was yet another misunderstander of Islam’s true, peaceful teachings.

Another interesting point to note regarding the name of the criminal is his chosen middle name, Mujahid.  Mujahid means ‘One who fights the Jihad’ or ‘Holy Fighter.’  The plural is Mujahadin and the translation is basically the one who kills and fights in the name of religion.

I wonder when Obama will come out with a statement of outrage condemning this deadly, violent act as he did with the Dr. Tiller murder… 14 hrs. later and still counting… crickets*

The fact that, in Janet Napolitano’s (JaNo) words, we had a home grown man-made disaster, of all places, in the south, that should raise some major alarms and Americans should be made aware of it.  We hadn’t been attacked for 7.5 years and within the past couple weeks we had a terrorist plot intercepted in NYC and a failed interception of this young man who murdered a U.S. soldier and injured another.   I hope the military personnel takes note of how much Obama really cares about them!

The liberally biased media should be ashamed of itself for covering this story up from the public!

PC Police: “Don’t Call it Swine Flu”

If you thought things couldn’t get anymore idiotic, well hold onto your hats!

Janet Napolitano and some foreign governments are upset at the official name of the flu epidemic that is spreading around the globe.

Apparently it isn’t kosher to say swine ;-) especially when this strain of the flu has more human and avian components and it is not specifically caused by pork or pork food products.

I say – who cares?  Call it the Flying Meatball Virus for heaven’s sake – does it really matter?

What’s in a name? U.S. pork producers are finding that the name of the virus spreading from Mexico is affecting their business, prompting U.S. officials to argue for changing the name from swine flu.

At a news briefing, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack took pains to repeatedly refer to the flu as the “H1N1 virus.”

“This is not a food-borne illness, virus. It is not correct to refer to it as swine flu because really that’s not what this is about,” Vilsack said.

Israel has already rejected the name swine flu, and opted to call it “Mexico flu.” Jewish dietary laws forbid eating pork.

The Paris-based World Organization for Animal Health also objected to the name, saying the virus contains avian and human components and no pig so far has been found ill with the disease.

And there is growing sentiment in the farm sector to call it the North American virus — although disease expert Anthony Fauci told a Senate hearing the “swine flu” designation reflected scientific naming protocol.

Give me a break!

Homegrown Terrorism!? Napolitano is an Ideological Hack

I guess she should consider herself an extremist with that gun – anyone who practices or believes in the 2nd amendment was placed in that 9 page report from the DHS a couple of days ago.  Conveniently, this all came out right before the nationwide Tea Party protests. Read more
