Back in 2007 I linked to Rusty at The Jawa Report who had been investigating an American blogger named Samir Khan and his ties to al-Qaeda:
Michael Moss of the New York Times has outted Inshallashaheed, the al Qaeda supporting blogger who we’ve been investigating for over a year. I’ve been sitting on his true identity for months, but in one fell swoop Samir ibn Zafar Khan, who lives in Charlotte North Carolina, has been identified.
Thats how long ago this guy was identified. Remember that, but for now Rusty gives some of the back story here:
Samir Khan first started out on a blog he called “The Ignored Puzzles Pieces of Knowledge.” That must have been, what? Five years ago. We were some of the first to see what he was up to.
He tried to blog anonymously as “inshallahshaheed” (God willing, a martyr). It took us all of fifteen minutes to connect “inshallahshaheed” with Samir Khan. As smart as he is — and he is, by far, the most articulate of the English language online jihadis — he obviously wasn’t that bright.
Pretty soon thereafter we became involved in an online feud with Samir. Through our combined efforts we were able to get his blog suspended from a number of platforms. At other times Samir would illegally steal our images by hotlinking them. We responded by switching out the images for ones that were less to his liking.
This eventually led to death threats by Samir against me and my family.
Eventually The New York Times got wind of “inshallahshaheed” and publicly outed him. Samir didn’t stop. Instead, he was emboldened by the notoriety.
Today, Samir Khan is back in the news…..here’s Rusty:
North Carolina Muslim Admits Working with al Qaeda: “Proud to be an American Traitor” [Full text]
There is some scary stuff in this issue. I was going to put up a link to it, but after reading most of it I’ve decided not to. Why? Because, like I said, there is some scary stuff in there.
In the last issue they had that “make a bomb in your mom’s kitchen” thing. I was happy to link that. Yes, go ahead, try to make a bomb. Hillarity, inevitably, will ensue.
But in this issue? Um, let’s just say they offer up some much more practical advice on how to kill infidels.
And they are very up front that Muslims should remain in the US (note to Sammy: didn’t take your own advice, eh?), try not to hook up with other jihadis, and just go out and kill as many civilians as possible. And they offer up some advice on how this can be done feasibly.
And he asks if we should still have reservations about targeted assassinations of citizens such as these guys?
This makes two Americans who are in charge of al Qaeda media — Adam Gadahn in Pakistan/Afghanistan for their as Sahab label and Samir Khan in Yemen for the English side of their al Malahein label.
This should drive home the point that the global jihad is not an Arab or a Pakistani problem. Violent jihad is not only being imported from these countries, but we are now exporting the future leaders of the jihad.
Think about that for awhile.
For those who have serious reservations about targeting American citizens using drones, I wonder if this changes anything for you? Does that fact that Khan openly and gleefully admits that he is a traitor change your mind? Or do you still think that people like Khan, Adam Gadahn, and Anwar al-Awlaki can’t be targeted due to some overriding principle of “justice” only happening within the confines of US courts?
The full text of the article IS quite unnerving…please read the whole thing. One of the most astounding facts is that he was a openly proud traitor to this country with ties to our enemy and he was still allowed to leave to Yemen. I mean WTF?
See author page
he hates our freedom, he is a freedom hater.
The question was asked whether I had reservations about targeting American citizens conspiring with enemies of America with drones?? There would be no hesitation. Anyone who is helping or even traveling with known enemy forces that are attacking or about to attack American soldiers derserve no quarter. This goes doubly for media types who think they have to the right to film the enemy and then walk away wile waving a press pass as if it is a get out of jail free card.
Bottom line, actions have consequences, some good others bad. If you choose to stand beside someone setting themselves on fire don’t complain when you get burned.
Mata Hari wasn’t as evil as this.
Yet she , yes, SHE!!!!!, was executed by firing squad for her traitorous acts.
Tokyo rose was a composite of several women therefore was not tried and killed although one or two of her incarnations did serve time behind bars.
But this guy!
He is an out-and-out traitor!
He has no more killed an American than Mata Hari or Tokyo Rose, but he is 100% for the enemy winning.
He calls for Muslims in America to murder ”infidel” Americans.
He tries to show them how to do it.
Yesterday I expressed amazement that Obama had put out a ”hit” on Anwar al-Awlaki who is an American-born jihadist now living in Yemen.
Today I will be amazed again…..IF Obama has a ”hit” ordered for either Adam Gadahn or this guy, Samir Khan.
But, if we catch them instead, there is No Point in trying any of these three in civilian court.
All of the problems we have just seen in the case of Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani, whose case starts today, would be repeated.
Only good thing about Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani’s case is that it teaches the Obama/Holder idiots a lesson: you don’t try terrorists in civilian court!
At least, as an enemy combatant, he will stay in detention EVEN if acquitted!
The sooner this evil assumes room temperature the better!!
Unfortunately I can not read the mypetjawa site because the AssofSpazzHQ owner has blocked me from it. (Why? I have no clue. He has blocked me from several worthwhile sites for no reason what so ever. He blocked me from the AssofSpazzHQ site because I complained about his tgrickin g me repeatedly in to reading the sites of his main squeezes.)
It is now illegal in the Netherlands to tell the truth.
AP
This means telling the truth, even well documented, can still mean jail is coming.
Years ago an imam was quoted EXACTLY in a Mark Steyn book (While Europe Slept) about demographics and the Islamic future of Europe.
The author of the book was prosecuted successfully despite the accuracy of the quote.
His ”crime?”
Disparaging Islam.
Now the Dutch have adopted disparagement of Islam as a worse crime than speaking the truth is a right.
That raghead told the truth about his so called religion. Islam is the enemy of any non-Islamic entity.
