Oregon jihad, revisited

 As I have said, this will continue until the powers that be, as well as
the American people understand that these attacks are driven by Islamic
doctrine, 1400 years worth.  This has nothing to do woth Jews, or Israel,
or the refugees, or American foreign policy, or poverty, or Christians, or
Zionism, or Islamophobia, or........
 
This latest attempt at blowing up things (and people) for Allah is the
symptom.  The disease is Islam.

"Feds: Somali-born teen plotted car-bombing in Ore.," by William McCall
for Associated Press, November 27
 
PORTLAND, Ore. - Federal agents in a sting operation arrested a
Somali-born teenager just as he tried blowing up a van he believed was
loaded with explosives at a crowded Christmas tree lighting ceremony in
Portland, authorities said.
The bomb was an elaborate fake supplied by the agents and the public was
never in danger, authorities said.
 
Mohamed Osman Mohamud, 19, was arrested at 5:40 p.m. Friday just after he
dialed a cell phone that he thought would set off the blast but instead
brought federal agents and police swooping down on him.
 
Yelling "Allahu Akbar!" -- Arabic for "God is great!" -- Mohamud tried to
kick agents and police after he was taken into custody, according to
prosecutors.
 
"The threat was very real," said Arthur Balizan, special agent in charge
of the FBI in Oregon. "Our investigation shows that Mohamud was absolutely
committed to carrying out an attack on a very grand scale," [sic]...
 
It said Mohamud was warned several times about the seriousness of his
plan, that women and children could be killed, and that he could back out,
but he told agents: "Since I was 15 I thought about all this;" and "It's
gonna be a fireworks show ... a spectacular show."
 
Mohamud, a naturalized U.S. citizen living in Corvallis, was charged with
attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction, which carries a maximum
sentence of life in prison. A court appearance was set for Monday. Few
details were available about him late Friday. [...]
 
U.S. Attorney Dwight Holton released federal court documents to The
Associated Press and the Oregonian newspaper that show the sting operation
began in June after an undercover agent learned that Mohamud had been in
regular e-mail contact with an "unindicted associate" in Pakistan's
northwest, a frontier region where al-Qaida and Afghanistan's Taliban
insurgents are strong.
 
The two used coded language in which the FBI believes Mohamud discussed
traveling to Pakistan to prepare for "violent jihad," the documents
said....
 
An undercover agent met with him a month later in Portland, where they
"discussed violent jihad," according to the court documents....
 
"This defendant's chilling determination is a stark reminder that there
are people -- even here in Oregon -- who are determined to kill
Americans," Holton said....
 

Yes, there are "people" who are "determined to kill Americans," even "here
in Oregon"! If only there were some way to figure out who they are, or
where they might congregate!
