Granny Jihad in the Heartland

My Grandma was the best.  I always enjoyed immensely her cooking, her hugs and her ever-present listening skills.  She lived in Palm Springs, California and the trip there from L.A. meant hours in the car which was always an adventure in itself.  She was everything any kid could want, except a jihadist.

This is a sad story, inasmuch as it paints a negative picture of the kindly, loving granny we all should have when young.  Her ideals were not those of gingerbread cookies, hot cocoa with little marshmallows and cheek pinches, but instead of shaheed paradise and "...slay and are slain for Allah..." (9-111).

A 46-year-old Indiana grandmother is under investigation for her possible ties to suspected and convicted international terrorists, FoxNews.com has learned.

Muslim-convert Kathie Smith, 46, a U.S. citizen living in Indianapolis who has blogged about her granddaughter, last year married a suspected German jihadist, and has been flying back and forth between the U.S. and Germany as recently as two weeks ago.

We can expect to see more converts like Mrs. Smith in the future, and more "misunderstanding" of Islam as well.

In lengthy e-mail exchanges with FoxNews.com, Smith alternatively defended her online postings, denied being anti-American, called the Sept. 11 attacks an inside job, the U.S. a terrorist organization and praised the American-born radical Muslim cleric Anwar al Awlaki -- architect, trainer and inspiration for many of the recent terrorist attacks attempted or committed against the U.S.

Not anti-American?  Really Mrs. Smith?  In the same article, to illustrate her lack of honesty she says on her MySpace page  “As salamu alaikum akhi.. it is time for Jihad and it is now Fard ayn(requirement for all Muslims to fight when invaded-ed) for ALL Muslims whether their in the United Snakes or else where...Insha'Allah!!!!”
Even amid her calls for jihad against the West, she maintains her respect and love for America “I am exercising my right, as an American citizen to freedom of speech, religion, and the right to bare arms. I have the right in America to say what ever I want. That is what makes America so great, right?”
What a surprise, a Jihadist biting the hand which feeds it.
