Mumbai Terror Group Linked to American Jihadis

Pakistan is pretty much determined to be the worst terrorist sponsoring state in the world, eclipsing even Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Syria.

A growing chorus of intelligence officials in the U.S. and in south Asia have pinned the Mumbai attacks on the Kashmir-based militants Lashkar-e-Taiba. But there's been hardly any mention of the extremist group's deep ties to American-based jihadists.
Since 2003, at least five U.S. citizens have been convicted in federal court of conspiring to provide material support to Lashkar-e-Taiba. At least nine more men, considered to be in the same larger circle, have been convicted of firearms violations and other felonies.... Several other cases are still making their way through the legal process.
Islamic extremists in America have used Lashkar-e-Taiba ("LeT") as a "stepping stone" into the broader world of global terror, says Evan Kohlmann, a senior investigator at the NEFA Foundation. With easy-to-access training facilities, English-speaking recruiters, and connections to militants around the world, a Lashkar camp is "the best way for emerging jihadist to get trained."
In April, 2000, for instance, Virginia native Randall Todd Royer (pictured) went to a LeT camp in Kashmir. The place wasn't hard to find, according to an opinion from U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema. Online newsletters gave out the group's phone number and e-mail address, with the assurance that "requests for information about the jihad in Kashmir are welcome." A recruiting center operated openly in Lahore, one of Pakistan's largest cities.
Royer spent a month at the LeT camp, firing AK-47s and other weapons, and going through endurance training. In August, Seifullah Chapman made a similar trip, arranged by Royer, who called it a "straight path" to global jihad. There, Chapman spent thirty days in "weapons training" and "performing military drills."

Sounds like the US is a pretty big sponsor of terror also. Somebody remind me why exactly we're working so hard to populate this contry with Muslim nut-jobs.

Hmm. The way India's going, it won't be that long before they can nuke them from orbit. That way they can be sure.

5 Don't worry. This is a purely criminal matter being handled by our illustrious federal judiciary. I'm sure everything is fine. Also, I'm drunk.

In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful,

Muslims fear a boycott of their business' everywhere. If the world chooses to boycott Muslim business every time there is an incident Islam will be forced to deal with it's problem. It is amazing how reasonable one can become they are hungry.

I know people who will not buy anything at any price from a Muslim. If this were to take root around the world it would weaken Islam and the currnet image of invincibility they are building up. The Islamic world is humiliated at their seeing every day their backwardness in the growing face of western wealth and want to humiliate us back.

The Russians have a joke: two men in small town in Ukrainian mountains name Boris and Ivan. Boris work very hard for long time and buys a goat. Ivan finds magic lantern, rubt it, jiene comes out says: I can grant you one wish, what'll it be.? Ivan says: I want Boris's goat to die.

Islam wants our goat to die.

In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful,

(Sura 2:29)
