NJ Jihad Update

From ABC news:

ABC News has learned that the slain family's cousin has been a translator working for the prosecution in the trial of Lynne Stewart. She is the radical lawyer accused of smuggling messages from imprisoned Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, to terrorist cell members and associates.
Rahman, "The Blind Sheikh", you'll recall, is this guy, whose terror cell was responsible for the first WTC attack in 1993, and was nabbed for planning a campaign of urban terrorism, which few of us at the time took seriously.



I recall rights-activists and supporters at the time claiming he was a harmless blind old man and it was terrible of the nasty big government to go after him.



Among his band of merry followers was El-Sayid Nosair, an educated engineer from Egypt who was living in Pittsburgh in the 1980s.



Did you know Sharia law is practiced in Pittsburgh, PA?



He was accused of sexual assault, but it was agreed that he'd by tried by an Islamic court, which of course blamed the woman:
In 1985, he became embroiled in a dispute with a woman who had set up housekeeping with the Nosairs and their children in Pittsburgh. The woman accused Nosair of sexual assault and filed a criminal complaint against him. The woman later dropped the charges, and allowed the leaders of the Islamic Center of Pittsburgh to consider the case. Nosair and the woman were summoned, and the religious court ruled that Nosair was innocent and that the woman had tried to blackmail him.
But, he left town and went to NYC, and arranged to get Rahman into the country. Rahman had been implicated in the assassination of Sadat, as had Zawahiri, the brains behind bin Laden.



Because of our ridiculous immigration policies, this known radical Rahman was granted a green card without much difficulty, even though he was on a terror watch list.



Nosair and Rahman murdered "radical" rabbi Kahane in NYC, one might remember. Though Nosair went to prison, he helped hatch further plots. The view of the case at the time is enlightening:
In addition to his writings on the subject of international jihad, they also found, scrawled on the back of a bank calendar, what would later be described as "a hit list," containing the names of two federal judges, a U.S. congressman deemed to be overly pro-Israeli, and the name of a former assistant U.S. attorney. None of it raised much in the way of suspicions among the cops.



Nor did the cache of assorted tracts containing instructions on bomb making, the trove of cartridges for high-powered assault rifles, the collection of driver's licenses in assorted names, the fake passports or the yellowing newspaper articles on Sadat's assassination.



The whole notion that it might have been part of a larger conspiracy was, to the cops at the time, preposterous. As one federal investigator put it at the time, "either the man is a lone nut or he's a lone nut and someone whispered something in his ear, knowing that he'd do it." The only other option, the investigator added derisively, was "there's an enormous international conspiracy."
And that's only in movies, right?



And the whole thing was botched:
But the prosecutors were shocked when a jury in Manhattan on December 21, 1992, acquitted Nosair of second-degree murder charges, convicting him instead on charges of assault and illegal weapons possession.



The conviction was enough to send him to Attica, a maximum-security prison in upstate New York. He was sentenced to 22 years. But it wasn't enough to stop Nosair or his comrades in the struggle for radical Islamic supremacy from continuing to plan attacks against the United States.



In the months following Nosair's arrest, his stock rose dramatically within the radical Islamic movement in the United States and beyond its border.
America's Mayor wasn't fooled however:
Though the majority of American law enforcement officials still believed him to be a lone assassin, there were some who knew better. Rudolph Giuliani, for example, a former federal prosecutor who was about to become mayor of New York, a position he would hold in 2001 during what was arguably one of the worst terrorist attacks in history, had warned that Nosair was part of a larger conspiracy.



But there was little impetus in those days to take a hard line with Nosair or any of his associates and so, for the next few years, jailers at Attica regularly waved through Nosair's friends on visiting days at the prison. During these face-to-face meetings, the group, including Abuhalima and Nosair's brother, Ibrahim Elbrawgone, hatched a scheme to bring the United States to its knees. The group's plot was to attack New York City's bridges and tunnels and other landmarks, among them the World Trade Center. As the months dragged on Nosair berated his friends for taking so long to begin the reign of terror. He even instructed his comrades to seek a fatwa, a religious ruling from the Blind Sheik in a bid to expedite the coming war. By late winter of 1993, however, the plans, it seemed, were coming together.
And come together they would.



Now this "lawyer", Lynne Stewart, is on trial for passing messages from Rahman and his associates back to known terror groups in Egypt, such as the one that gunned down 60 tourists in Luxor in Rahman's name in 1997.



This group had agreed after that to a "cease fire", but

In 2000, Stewart called a Reuters correspondent in Egypt and read a statement issued by the cleric saying he had withdrawn his support for the cease-fire. That correspondent was subpoenaed in the case.
So, it IS a vast international conspiracy, and they ARE among us, and they'll kill anyone who gets in the way.



It's time we realized that true followers of Islam really mean it when they say "freedom" and "democracy" and "representative government" are false, man-made idols, and hence are shirk and must be destroyed, because they interfere with one's absolute submission to Allah's will and his perfect Sharia law. Shirk, or idolatry, is Islam's greatest sin to the self-described "slaves of Allah":
Legislating rulings for the slaves of Allaah to follow in their acts of worship, transactions, settling the disputes, litigation, and in the rest of their affairs is an exclusive right of Allaah, the Exalted, the Rabb of mankind, and the Creator of the creatures.



Allaah says: "Verily the creation and the command belong to Him, and He is the blessing Granter, the Rubb of the Worlds." (7:54)



He knows what suits His slaves, and legislates it for them. By virtue of His Ruboobiyyah, He legislates for them, and by virtue of their servitude to Him, they accept His judgements; whichever case it is in their interest.



Hence, he who accepts a law other than Allah's ascribes a partner to Allaah. Whatever act of worship that is not legislated by Allaah and His Messenger is Bid'ah, and every Bid'ah is a means of deviation. The Prophet said: "He who introduces in our deen, anything which does not belong to it, it shall be rejected." [Bukhari & Muslim]



The right of legalizing and illegalizing, belongs to Allaah too, and no one is permitted to share this right with Him.



Hence, the obedience of the Christians to their learned men, with regards to illegalization and legalization is considered as worship and major Shirk, which contradicts the Tawheed, which is signified by the Testimony of Faith, La ilahah illal Allah. [Fath al-Majid p.107] This Testimony which signifies that legalization and illegalization is an exclusive right of Allaah, the Exalted.
Is not "tolerance" a concept that requires a two-way street? Must we be accepting of people who entirely reject the basic foundations of our way of life and seek to destroy them?



Is that not sheer madness?
