Feds Move to Close Down Four NYC Mosques

But, let’s not jump to any conclusions….

Federal prosecutors Thursday took steps to seize four U.S. mosques and a Fifth Avenue skyscraper owned by a nonprofit Muslim organization long suspected of being secretly controlled by the Iranian government.

In what could prove to be one of the biggest counterterrorism seizures in U.S. history, prosecutors filed a civil complaint in federal court seeking the forfeiture of more than $500 million in assets of the Alavi Foundation and an alleged front company.

The assets include Islamic centers in New York City, Maryland, California and Houston, more than 100 acres in Virginia, and a 36-story office tower in New York.

Seizing the properties would be a sharp blow against Iran, which has been accused by the U.S. government of bankrolling terrorism and seeking a nuclear bomb.

A telephone call and e-mail to Iran’s U.N. Mission seeking comment were not immediately answered.

……There were no raids Thursday as part of the forfeiture action. The government is simply required to post notices of the civil complaint on the property.

Prosecutors said the Alavi Foundation, through a front company known as Assa Corp., illegally funneled millions in rental income back to Iran’s state-owned Bank Melli. Bank Melli has been accused by a U.S. Treasury official of providing support for Iran’s nuclear program, and it is illegal in the United States to do business with the bank.

Government officials have long suspected the foundation was an arm of the Iranian government; a 97-page complaint details involvement of several top officials in foundation business, including the country’s deputy prime minister and ambassadors to the United Nations.

“For two decades, the Alavi Foundation’s affairs have been directed by various Iranian officials, including Iranian ambassadors to the United Nations, in violation of a series of American laws,” U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said in a statement.

The skyscraper, known as the Piaget building, was erected in the 1970s under the shah of Iran, who was overthrown in 1979. The tenants include law and investment firms and other businesses.

……Rents collected from the building help fund the centers and other ventures, such as sending imprisoned Muslims in the U.S. educational literature. The foundation has also invested in dozens of mosques around the country and supported Iranian academics at prominent universities.

If federal prosecutors seize the skyscraper, the Alavi Foundation would have almost no way to continue supporting the Islamic centers, which house schools and mosques. That could leave a major void in Shiite communities, and hard feelings toward the FBI.

Hard feelings?? Boo fucking hoo. Cry me a Euphrates. They’re nothing but jihad indoctrination centers. The FBI needs to shut down as many mosques as possible.

Oh by the way, Alavi Foundation contributed between $25,000 and $50,000 to the William J. Clinton Foundation.

Alavi’s contribution to Clinton came just two days after the Treasury Department also designated Alavi’s partner, the New York-based ASSA Corp.,  as a terrorist entity, and the New York Southern District’s attorney seized and forfeited its assets.

Isn’t that wonderful? I’m not surprised Bubba would be in the mix somewhere.

Obama’s ‘Bright’ Idea: Try Terrorists in New York

Accused 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other Guantanamo Bay prisoners will be brought to trial in a civilian federal courthouse in Manhattan, just blocks from site of the terror attacks.
Prosecutors said they expect to seek the death penalty against Mohammed and the other four.
……During a news conference this morning, US Attorney General Eric Holder also announced that five other suspects — including suspected USS Cole bomber Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri — will be tried before a military commission.
As for Mohammed, Holder said the defendants should be tried where the crimes took place.
“Our nation has had no higher priority than bringing those who planned and plotted the attacks to justice,” he said.

Bullshit. They are not common criminals and have no business being tried in a civilian court, regardless of location. “Brought to justice”? It’s not really the muslim terrorists that Holder and company plan to put on trial. It’s the CIA, the enhanced interrogation methods, and the Bush administration that kept us safe after 9/11, that B. Hussein wants to put on trial.

In a statement, Mayor Bloomberg said he supports the move.
“I support the Obama administration’s decision to prosecute 9/11 terrorists here in New York. It is fitting that 9/11 suspects face justice near the World Trade Center site where so many New Yorkers were murdered,” he said.

I wonder if Bloomberg plans on having another conference with Siraj Wahhaj while he’s at it.

Assclown.

Former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani isn’t too thrilled with this.

In an appearance on Fox News Channel this afternoon, former Mayor Rudy Giuliani said the move was irresponsible.
“It’s not inconceivable that the case could be thrown out,” he said.
Giuliani, who was mayor on 9/11, said he disagrees with Bloomberg.
“These are war criminals. This was an act of war. An act of terror,” he said. “They should be tried in a military tribunal.”

Senator Kyl points out the national security risk.

……Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.) blasted the plan and told The Associated Press that bringing Mohammed to New York is “an unnecessary risk” that could result in the disclosure of classified government information.

Kyl maintained the trial of Omar Abdel Rahman, the blind sheik involved in an earlier terror attack on the Twin Towers in 1993, caused “valuable information about US intelligence sources and methods” to be revealed to the al-Qaeda terror network.

Those Islamic terrorist cocksuckers shouldn’t be permitted anywhere near a civilian court.
They’re war criminals, not car thieves. The Nazis and Japanese were tried through military tribunals and this should be no different.
Brace yourselves, this is going to make the OJ Simpson trial look dignified. Not only that, but the terrorist threat level in NYC will sky rocket.

We’re at war, in case B. Hussein Obama forgot. Not that he’s that keen about finishing off the Islamic threat anyway.

More ‘Dithering’ on Afghanistan

I’m waiting for that ’smart diplomacy’ to kick in any time now…..

After months of deliberating, President Obama opted not to accept any of the Afghanistan war options presented by his national security team, pushing instead for revisions to clarify how and when U.S. troops would turn over responsibility to the Afghan government, a senior administration official said Wednesday.

That stance comes in the midst of forceful reservations about a possible troop buildup from the U.S. ambassador in Afghanistan, Karl Eikenberry, according to a second top administration official.

In strongly worded classified cables to Washington, Eikenberry said he had misgivings about sending in new troops while there are still so many questions about the leadership of Afghan President Hamid Karzai.

Eikenberry, who once commanded forces in Afghanistan, resigned his Army commission to take the job as U.S. ambassador in Kabul earlier this year, and his is an influential voice among those advising President Barack Obama on Afghanistan.

Eikenberry sent multiple classified cables to Washington over the past week that question the wisdom of adding forces when the Afghan political situation is unstable and uncertain, said an official familiar with the cables. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal administration deliberations and the classified documents.
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/11/11/envoy-objects-afghan-troop-increase/

He already got sound advice from the current Commander, General Stanley McCrystal, who told Obama it would be a good idea to send at least 40,000 troops to Afghanistan to finish the job. Instead of giving General McCrystal the troops and resources he needs, Obama prefers to take his sweet fucking time.  He’d rather reject every proposal given to him by seasoned commanders and make it look like they haven’t come up with any viable solutions.  McCrystal is from the General David Petraeus school of counter-insurgency warfare. He got it right in Iraq, and if Obama listens to him, Afghanistan’s security will be expedited as well. 

On top of being a socialist moron with a penchant for being a Dhimmi, Obama is an incompetent plebe who can’t handle responsibilities “above his pay grade”.

I feel for the Soldiers still in Afghanistan. Their so-called “commander-in-chief” is an epic fail. But we knew that even during the campaign.

Rest easy, Soldiers.
Hasan will be sent to hell as soon as possible.

Here Comes the “Insanity” Defense for Hasan

C’mon, you knew this would happen.

U.S. military doctors overseeing Nidal Malik Hasan’s medical training were concerned he was “psychotic” and possibly capable of killing other American soldiers, before the Army major allegedly went on a deadly shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas.

Psychiatrists and medical officials at Walter Reed Army Medical Center held a series of meetings beginning in the Spring of 2008 to discuss serious concerns about his work and behavior.

……One official who participated in the discussions reportedly told others he was worried that if Hasan was deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan, he might leak covert military information to Islamic extremists.
Another official “wondered aloud” to colleagues whether Hasan might be capable of killing fellow soldiers in the same way a Muslim sergeant in 2003 had set off grenades at a base in Kuwait, killing two and wounding 14.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,574285,00.html

Yeah, the mutherfucker was so “psychotic” the Army sent him to attend a lecture series on Islam in the hope that it might clear up his “delusional” thinking about the religion.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/11/11/AR2009111128106.html
 That’s funny, because Islam is all about exactly what he did at Ft. Hood.
Who gave the seminar? Anwar al-Aulaqi?

Andrew Bast, a leftwingnut who writes for Newsweek blames “stress” and deployments which are “dangerous at best, and morally bankrupt at worst.”
http://newsbusters.org/blogs/tim-graham/2009/11/06/emerging-bias-newsweek-claims-fort-hood-shooter-exposed-overstretched-mi
Even though Hasan has never been deployed to war. Ever.  Bast probably thinks Hasan got “stress” by osmosis. 
And according to Bast, we, not the Islamofascist fucksticks responsible for attacking the West, are  ”morally bankrupt”.   Bast’s intellect is bankrupt.

The BBC opines that this “raises fears for muslims in the Army”. Mark Steyn replies:

Really? Right now the body count stands at:

Non-Muslims 13
Muslims 0

Obama didn’t want anyone to “jump to conclusions” about Hasan’s extremism, choosing instead to assign that label to Tea Party protesters.

The FBI knew about Hasan’s emails to Al Qaeda, but determined they were just “consistent with the topic of his academic research and involved some social chatter and religious discourse.”

Leftard Andrew Sullivan calls Hasan’s bloodbath “a cry for help”.
http://minx.cc/?post=294599

Stuck on unbelievably stupid Glenn Greenwald, says it’s ‘repellent to say that a muslim yelling Allah u Akbar during a terrorist act, is suggestive of terrorism’.
http://patterico.com/2009/11/10/greenwald-yelling-allahu-akbar-during-a-shooting-rampage-is-not-suggestive-of-terrorism-and-its-repellent-of-you-to-claim-otherwise/

The trouble is, muslim terrorists often shout that phase just before they set off the bomb strapped under their clothes. The muslim hijackers of United Flight 93 yelled “allah u akbar”, just as the pasengers were about to overrun the cockpit. 

But Greenwald, Sullivan, Obama, and the rest of the moonbat contingency want us to believe that none of it, not Islam, not muslims, not the atrocities they commit in accordance with their religion, has anything to do with Islamic terrorism.

They’re not that stupid, they’re just apologetic towards a culture they happen to like more than democracy.
