Ahmed and Sadequee’s jihad adventure
Last week, I blogged about the forgotten jihadists in Georgia indicted on federal charges of conspiring to provide material support to terrorists. The Washington Post follows up today with more details on how Syed Ahmed and Ehsanul Islam Sadequee traveled across American soil shooting casing videos after absorbing jihad propaganda on the Internet:
Ahmed told the FBI he was not initially “into that . . . al-Qaeda or thing like that.” His goal, he said, was to seek military-style training to help oppressed Muslims in places such as Kashmir, on the Pakistan-India border.
But he said that he and Sadequee were “brainwashed from the reading online.” While expressing ambivalence about whether he could ever carry out an attack on U.S. soil, Ahmed said he was influenced by Internet radicals urging Muslims to “do something.”
So the men undertook their trip to Washington. It was an opportunity “to be spies for the people over there,” Ahmed said, apparently referring to militant Muslims abroad.
He described the Washington trip as an adventure, with the two men setting out from the Atlanta area on a Sunday morning in his Ford pickup truck, stopping to shave off the beards they wore as religious Muslims.
“It’s like, uh, thrilling to be undercover and stuff like that,” the transcript quotes Ahmed as saying.
That evening, they reached the Pentagon. The men filmed the building, according to a video made public for the first time last week in court. “This is where our brothers attacked the Pentagon,” says Sadequee’s voice.
“Allah Akhbar,” Ahmed chants. God is great.

yes, but there is no terrorist threat. don’t you see? we need to look inside ourselves and ask “why do they want to hurt us”…

Did anyone see Southpark last night? I wonder if they heard about this story…
It’s just an adventure to them. Like a reality TV show. They seem morally confused. These are intellectually and morally vacant human beings.
Seriously, if they are going to let these “Bill & Ted” terrorists off, I hope they get tazed as they’re walking out the front door.
was there a new south park episode last night?! OMG>>>running to TiVo…
Like, let’s take them out and shoot’em dude. Allah can kiss my butt.
I ask all you Democrats, What Would Truman Do?
Yes, it is too bad that the terrorists would not know where the Pentagon is without these knuckleheads.
Yes, these guys should be watched yet greater good would come from actually capturing someone like Osama Bin Laden.
Yes, and I really believe she has some WMD hidden in there, but the really bad thing is their really hidding in our imagination.
yes, we need to worry about the homegrown terrorists as they will help those wanting to come here to hurt us. it is a double threat and apparently the politicians just are not living in reality. our dhimmitude is showing in so many ways.
there is a dutch politican about to release a movie that will not be favorable to islam. waiting for the murder and riots to begin across europe, in 3 , 2..
waiting for the our dhimmitude to stop? silence..
Who are we kidding?
The US government is too busy pandering to the Islamists around the world to worry about protecting us here at home. Our leaders still call Islam the “Religion of Peace”. They refuse to even identify the real enemy which is Islam.
CAIR is suing everyone who says something bad about Islam and they are quietly removing the advertisers from Islams critics who use the radio, TV, and print media.
It won’t be long now.
The deeper question is whether Islam attracts the intellectually and morally vacant or Islam vaporizes one’s intellectual and moral faculties.
Why are these guyz still sucking oxygen?
Meanwhile, here’s what citizens of my adopted city are trying to do in order to stymie the plucky men and women who are fighting the jihad… In encourage you all to read the article because this isn’t too incomprehensible in other cities around America…

Nine out of ten Muslim internet sites support Jihad. All profess hatred of America, Israel, Europe, India, and infidels. it is pathetic.Read them yourself.
The thing is, there are a lot of not-particularly-religious people who self-identify as Muslim. Declaring Islam to be the enemy would drive them into the arms of the fanatics. So we need to be careful to identify the fanatics as the enemy, not all Muslims per se.
CAIR has been losing considerable membership, as Muslims figure out what CAIR really is. Expose the fanatics for what they are, oppose any curtailment of our freedoms, just make sure we identify our enemies correctly.
Oh really??? Have you ever heard of “The Project”?
You might want to read that when you get the chance. It’s an eye opening document which lays out the plan to establish a worldwide Islamic government.
Once again the minions of Islam show how well they assimilate to our free and open society. I would really like these two Jihad wannabes to face sedition charges for gathering target intelligence for the enemy. As I have said before we continue to be lucky in the age old war between Islam and Western Civilization because our elected and appointed officials refuse to get smart.
GOOD IDEA.
As soon as they stand up and identify themselves as anti-jihad, anti-sharia, anti-deceit, pro-peace for everyone, equality for everyone, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, etc …
THEN I’ll believe they are not part of the problem.
Easy enough….where are they?
And…just what is the difference between these guys, and the far left of this country? They both wish for the destruction of the US from the inside. They both are prone to violence. They both claim their adversaries are evil. They both think America is the problem. They both have media support. They both want everyone forced to follow mandates, either for religious (not very), or political purposes. They both have HATE as their primary motivator.
The only difference I can see is that one is home-grown, spoiled, and filled with class envy, while the other is imported.
Wait a minute. You mean these guys were arrested in Georgia and indicted on federal charges of conspiring to provide material support to terrorists?
I thought we just threw all of them into Gitmo without due process.
/sarc off
If I can just get my boot heal on their skull, I know I could crush them. But, my boots would get damp, and I just polished them again.
What to do, what to do.
It’s just a small minority of Muslims that do this, right? you can’t just pick people off the streets willy nilly and think that every time they take vacation vidoes they are casing the place, right? Just because they call fellow Muslims brothers, doesn’t mean they are condoning what they did, right? After all, they SAID they are not into any of that “Al Qaeda stuff” or anything like that, so who are we to call them liars…just because the Koran and other books of Islam dictate that they are to lie to the Kuffars and other Non-Believers at all times…right? Just because they have learned to use our laws, our Bill of Rights against us, that they laugh at the fact that Political Correctness and Multi Culturalism is their greatest weapon and our greatest weaknessrealy is just a paranoid delusion of the Republican Right-Winger…right?
Isn’t that right all you Liberals and Democrats on here? Isn’t all that what you are always saying? Isn
t the way you apologists explain away everything? Isn’t that how you keep this happening…keep allowing things to grow…keep allowing them access to our very souls and to chip away at our Nation and freedoms, using the systems that YOU PUT IN PLACE…isn’t it?
Can you please tell us what we should do? Should we just take them at their word? that these guys are all just “innocent tourists”? Sometimes driving around with explosives, sometimes with high powered rifles, always with some inane excuse…making fireworks, hunting in non-aimal populated areas, etc. Yet you guys always apologize for them and make US out to be the bad guys, then laws get enacted making it even easier for them in the long run.
We know that they are not going to be happy until there are mushroom clouds formed over densely populated American cities and this coutry is finally taken over by Islam, run by Immams and governed by Shari’ah law and policies…is that when your kind will finally be satisfied as well?
I know, I know…as usual, not a single one of you will answer. You never do. Go one, go scurrying into the cracks…the lights are on…time to scamper.
To update a GREAT American General and his saying …. ” The only good Terrorist is a DEAD Terrorist”

Hey LarryD, I believe RetFireman asked you a question? Hello????
Countries used to execute spies. I think it’s still under the Geneva Convention. Many countries still do. I guess all they’ll get here is 10 years, out in 5 with good behavior under a democrat “amnesty” plan. Amazing how soft we have gotten as a country. Lord help us if we had a real war…I mean a REAL war, like WW2.
I don’t think so. You mean you don’t believe Ahmadinejād when he says there are no gays in Iran?
Does anyone know if they ever found the two suspicious middle eastern men who were surveiling the big ferry up in Seattle? How many of these insane jerks do we have in this country? With wide open borders it sure causes one to wonder what to expect next.
To the best of my knowledge, No they have not found them.
I, however, have found a terrorist training camp in Rock Hill, SC just outside of Charlotte and about 5 miles from a nuclear power plant. They are connected to a radical Imam in Pakistan and there are several of these camps throughout the US.
Also, take a look at LGF to see what happened in the Iowa State Legislature.
