Will the islamophobia never end?

“American charged in bombing attack on US base in Afghanistan,” By Tom Hays, Associated Press (thanks to Lookmann):

NEW YORK (AP) — A U.S. citizen already accused of going to Pakistan to train with al-Qaida was charged Wednesday with helping build explosives for a 2009 suicide attack on an American military base in Afghanistan.

A revised indictment charges Muhanad Mahmoud Al Farekh with conspiracy to murder U.S. nationals, conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction and other crimes. He is to appear Thursday in federal court in Brooklyn; there was no immediate comment by his lawyer.

The charges stem from an attack on Jan. 19, 2009, involving two vehicles driven by unidentified suicide bombers that were rigged with explosives, the new indictment says. Only one of the bombs detonated. Al Farekh’s fingerprints were later found on packing tape used on the second explosive, the indictment says.

The court papers didn’t identify the base or detail the damage. News accounts from the same 2009 date cited in court papers described a dual-car bomb attack at Forward Operating Base Chapman in Khost City, near the border with Pakistan, which killed one Afghan and wounded several others, but harmed no Americans.

The 30-year-old Al Farekh, who was born in Texas, “allegedly turned his back on our country and tried to kill U.S. soldiers in the course of executing their sworn duty to keep us safe,” Brooklyn U.S. Attorney Robert Capers said in a statement.

Al Farekh was brought from Pakistan to the United States in April to face initial charges of providing material support to terrorists. Federal authorities alleged he and two other students at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, Canada, started watching al-Qaida propaganda and hatching a plan to become martyrs abroad.

The three flew to Karachi, Pakistan, on round-trip tickets in March 2007 after selling their belongings, disconnecting their phones and buying mountain boots commonly worn by al-Qaida fighters in Pakistan and Afghanistan, authorities said.

Prosecutors said one of Al Farekh’s co-conspirators trained three men on how to use AK-47s and other weapons at an al-Qaida training camp in 2008, the complaint says. The three — Najibullah Zazi, Zarein Ahmedzay and Adis Medunjanin — were later convicted of plotting to bomb New York City’s subway system and are cooperating with federal authorities.

The America-hating, Islamonazi-loving, Constitution-raping turd pile defiling the White House will pardon the inbred Islamonazi savage before he leaves office. He will also empty Guantanamo Bay and turn the land held by the US over to the Castro thugs, thieves and tyrants.

Toss him in some jail with a mental institute affiliated with it, then interrogate hime for at least ten years to get every detail of his treachery.

No need to interrogate any of them. They follow the Koran.

They can be persuaded to tel the truth, after 10 years of repeated interrogation, eventually the story will be told. Or, he will spend the rest of his time slowly going crazier.

How much crazier can Islamonazi savages be? Pisslam is in itself a mental disorder.

This traitor should go straight to the gallows to be hanged. His remains to be cremated (Muslims hate that). On top of that, all his relatives, and I mean ALL.. should be taken in for questioning, and then deported to their Muslim country of choice.

Who is an American?

For 3 generations schools have produced stupid students that are anti-American, so it’s no wonder there are stupid adults today.

The Founding Fathers and what they said and believed.

The facts of history illustrate the this nation never intended to be “God neutral.” Public displays of worship and subservience to the God of creation have always been made matter-of-factly. There can be no greater example of this than casual and unapologetic declarations concerning God in the constitutions of every one of the fifty states!

Why does this clown deserve a trial in our justless system.
Give him over to a military court and maybe they’ll find the law for treason
has always been execution. Send this reprobate to his 72 fantasy virgin goats.
