Pardoned Terrorist In Morroco Turns To Bombing
The good news in this story is Morroco avoided a suicide bomb, but that crazy part is one or two of the suspects had been pardoned of previous terrorism charges. And it took ineptitude to incover the plot, not surveillance:
Police have arrested 13 people allegedly linked to a man who blew himself up in a Casablanca Internet cafe and found bomb-making equipment on Wednesday, an Interior Ministry spokesman said.
Like the bomber, at least one of those arrested had been in prison on terrorism charges before being pardoned, ministry spokesman Abderrahman Achour told The Associated Press.
Abdelfettah Raydi died when explosives hidden on his body went off in an internet cafe in the Casablanca slum of Sidi Moumen, injuring Raydi’s accomplice, Youssef Khouidri, and three bystanders.
Goes to show you what happens when you show a terrorist any mercy.

I think they haven’t linked arms, but more so they are taking advantage of a bad situation for their own perceived gain.
They see a gap that they want to charge thru.
As simple as that.
Dale, any connections between Tim McVeigh and radical Islam? Any reason why Tim bombed the Murray building in Oklahoma City?

I have seen Dale say more sense in 250 words than 3 or 4 volumes of State Department press releases.
I second that, Merlin. One of the most spell-binding threads I’ve ever read. Ironic that I just finished watching a repeat of Criminal Minds in which a terrorist incarcerated at Gitmo was behind an Anthrax attack on the 3rd largest shopping center in the country. It was a repeat which I had seen a while back, but it was even more interesting the second time around. You are all correct — this threat is not going away in our lifetime or that of our children or grandchildren.

They have damn near banned me from the place.
When I was younger I took their challenge 4 times and came out on top 4 times.
My hunger level is no where near that now. Old age and all that.
See the website Bigtexan.com
But I will have to admit that I made a 36oz prime rib sorta vaporize off my plate this weekend.
If you google about founder of Muslim Brotherhood, you’ll find a few sites claiming strong connections between Husayn and Hitler. In fact, some claim that Husayn came up with the ideas and methods of exterminating Jews.
I played a scenario in my mind. Suppose all Jews were exterminated. The Muslims remain unhappy with their lives. Then they’ll find a group to blame for their woes of their lives. It becomes a vicious circle without an end.

I probably should not say this but google his name and be prepared to sit back and read magic.

Like you, I’ve been all over!
When I was 8 years old, I moved to Benin City, Nigeria, and lived there almost 6 years.
When I was 19, I moved to Cairo, attended the ACU, studied Arabic, and had a good time!
Later on, I spent 3+ years in Puerto Santa de Maria Spain, and 2+ years in Kinville/Camp Hansen, Okinawa.
In between, I spent major time in: Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Sudan, Syria, Cyprus, Turkey, Oman, Bahrain, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and six weeks in/around Zakho, Iraq!
No need to recited all the other European/Asian countries.
My parents also spent 13 years in Liberia, and 5 years in Khartoum!
The one overwhelming truth I have out of that?
99% of the American public, and European one for that matter, doesn’t know shit about how the rest of the world REALLY lives!
I remind my 3 daughters, every damn night, at dinner, that 50% of the world, is just damn happy to have Supper, on any given day!
It’s a luxery, for most!
You’ve seen Olongopo, you know what it’s really like!
That said, it is NOT the Leftist meme, that Poverty and American Imperialism, causes Islamic Terrorism that is true!
It is categorically false!
And I can definitively PROVE it, right now!
Again, I see no one else do this, and I’m flabbergasted as to why?
Here is a list of the world 50 poorest countries:
Afghanistan, Angola, Bangladesh, Benin, Bhutan, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cambodia, Cape Verde, Central African Republic, Chad, Comoros, Democratic Republic of Congo, Djibouti, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gambia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Haiti, Kiribati, Laos, Lesotho, Liberia, Madagascar, Malawi, Maldives, Mali, Mauritania, Mozambique, Myanmar, Nepal, Niger, Rwanda, Samoa, São Tomé and PrÃncipe, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Solomon Islands, Somalia, Sudan, East Timor, Togo, Tuvalu, Uganda, Tanzania, Vanuatu, Yemen, Zambia.
Take a quick look at that list!
Tell me, how many Jihadis, or Homicide Bombers, or Playing-flying-into-Building producing countries on that list, do you see?
How many from Haiti?
If “poverty” was the genesis, we’d see Homicide bombers, and Jihadis, out the ass, from Haiti?
Ever hear of any?
How about how many from Vanuatu?
East Timor?
Soloman Islands, anyone?
Now, take a look at that list, and tell me the countries that DO produce Jihadis, Homicide Bombers, etc.:
Yemen…..
Afghanistan…..
Bangladesh….
Hmmmmmmm…….
What do they all have in common?
I wonder……??
Hell, when we get Jihadis from the Carribean, they only either come from the Muslim communities on Trinidad & Tobago, or are converts from Jaimaca!
EVERY country on that list, that produces Jihadis, etc., has one, and one thing ONLY in common:
Salafiyyah Sunni Islamic Theology, or Apocolyptic Shia Theology, or both!
Either the country is completely Muslim or predominantly Muslim, or has a Muslim population, or a propensity for producing Muslim converts! (Richard Reed was from Sri Lanka, for gosh’s sake!)
The ONE common factor: Islamic Theology!
Put that in your pipes, and smoke it, Leftist nutbags!
Wow, I’m posting my BIG post, and it isn’t coming up, I think maybe I swore in it; I’ll take that out…
Whoa, Merlin; looks like I have my reading assignment for the next couple days. Hopefully it will enable this old Sigint Officer to converse intelligently in future threads.

Where are you AJ, it won’t let me post my large diatribe!
I don’t want to lose it!
Merlin, someday on the steak; I might be in Houston in the summer!
Retired, good stuff, and agree about Islam.
Lurker; I’ve seen the same Net stuff you have, probably, and I do believe it has merit; it is at least interesting, and deserves serious study!
Still can’t get my post thru…
Merlin, you were not clear; google whose name?
To all
Dale if you read him well will forever shred the concept of the MSM view of the simplistic Shia v Sunni best they can handle since they could never even get straight all the other components.
I hate to sound like I am pushing the guys worth, but sometimes it is the right thing to do.
I hope I don’t scare him off, because he is a valuable resource of nothing but high quality content.
Oh and Joe Wilson couldn’t even shine his shoes on his best day, if he ever had one.
Retire05, just Google “DaleinAtlanta”, and you’ll see what Merlin means — f’ing awesome.
Darn it, Merlin, READ WHO?
Hi, Dale, break up your posts into smaller pieces and without tags for links, bolds, underlines, etc.

Dale
Close your eyes bud, I’m a gonna say something.
I am ex military, I have been places that required a burn before read clearance and Dale is one of those sources that always and without a doubt would get the nod.
But too many politicos bit the wrong bullet at too many times.
If this guy could get a score on the scale of 1 to 10 he would deserve somewhere around a 35.
I don’t say that lightly, I give it up with a great deal of respect.
Another person I hold in similar regard is a near neighbor of mine I hope one day to meet and greet. I guy you may of heard of called Michael Yon.
When he is home , he is only about 40 miles west of me.
I still to this day remember his buddy Scott Helvenston, another local guy, who was killed in the early days of Iraq and was so badly trashed with all the reverence of the Kos guy statement of “screw them”.
Just like 9/11, that sentiment will never be forgotten.
There are some things that are just right.
Scott my man, RIP.
