Jihad At Our Door

American Bandstand Town Square in Bellview Ohio 2004

You and I all know that a lot of important news stories get burried under the editorial rug for many reasons, not the least of which the government puts the kabosh on it. Well, I have been following a story that has gotten so little press on the news stations we watch and I only saw it on one blog, the ever watchful SmoothStone. Nothing in the papers... I frankly wondered in the beginning whenit was first posted if my dear Smooth was mis informed and it was a plain old suicide or prank...

Not anymore. Smooths subsiquent posts and personal accounts verified to me and others here in the Tri State area that we have a serious issue here... Heard a dear old guy at church who was there, say that his grandsons friends said that "there are a bunch of "ragheads" here that should be arrested" and then got the story of what was going on at OU where they attend school. Over hearing that remark has lead me to believe that this is a story about jihad here in my backyard and I want to proclaim that. Middle America, this is where THEY are and dont think that for one minute that we are all safe and cozy in our country villages.

First the posts from SmoothStone........

I loved this comment

And an editor of the great Oklahoman just got a national award for his stories on Oklahomans in Iraq. Last I heard, the only award The Oklahoman got was recognition as the "worst newspaper in America" in Columbia Journalism Review (1999) Perhaps things are improving.

Not if they are complying with this coverup of a terrorist act at a public event. Should be ashamed of themselves


Here is a post from PebblePie, which she picked up from Vernon Richards of Islam_Undressed (site secured).

Football fans in Oklahoma dodged a bullet Sat Oct 1 2005, and most of the lucky remain blissfully ignorant of how close they came to being the latest victims of Islam’s world-wide Jihad. In a minor report buried amongst the Supreme Court nomination stories, main-stream media reported an apparent suicide by a ‘small’ explosive device by a disturbed Oklahoma Student outside a Sooner’s football game. Poor disturbed Joel Henry Hinrichs III, a distraught engineering student from Colorado, had decided that taking the time to build a powerful explosive vest and blowing himself up near a huge public event was preferable to shooting himself in the head all alone in his apartment he shared with roommates from Pakistan. 87,000 fans only learned about the ‘suicide’ when they were delayed from leaving the stadium for a bit while the site was cleaned up. No one was told that part of the clean-up consisted of rendering harmless an additional large bomb nearby, or that the blast was strong enough to be heard 4 miles away and blow out windows of a building 200 yards away. CNN somehow failed to catch the fact that the boy was a recent Muslim convert sporting the typical beard of the devout. We don’t want to be accused of being insensitive to our peaceful fellow Muslim Americans, so the spin by mainstream media in keeping this huge story off the front page is ongoing.

A lot of additional information has been coming out of this event which has somehow been missed by all but the most conservative news blogs. Apparently the local CBS affiliate in OKC held a report that Hinrichs has been known to visit the local Islamic center around the corner from his apartment. The Norman mosque also happens to be the same one attended by the "twentieth hijacker" Zacarias Moussaoui. But that is not national news, so they stuff it in a small byline.

I post these reports as I know I have a lot of readers that dont read political blogs and may not know about these events. We need to be vigilent and willing to look at this enemy square in the face, and understand that no quarter will be given in the war on terror. Its more than a war of bullets and bombs, its a battle of ideologies and faiths. Your children are at risk of recruitment just as surly as they are of any cult of gang or cult...This young man could have been your son or daughter...that is what is frightening. The ability to brainwash our young and utilize them in this fashion means that jihad is feasable here in America. Indeed it is here and at our very door.
