A great big thanks to all who got this terroriss gal. It is wonderful to know there are people, other than sis and team, helping us with the rop type here in American.
Jawa is among my first blogs I go to everyday. They are great!

Mahalo nui loa to all that helped detect the cancer before it spread.
Now, to see if Dr. Eric Holder will excise the malignancy………..
Well, since she had all her idiotic postings on YouTube – is there some reason the FBI didn’t find her themselves? Just askin’…
Congratulations and thank you to these patriots.
Thanks for the link. I was really curious how she got nabbed, and this answers it. Again, “the system worked” and alert citizens stopped it before it got worse.
The thing is that the groups like the “Center for Constitutional Rights” (and I suspect members of Holder’s old law firm) will jump to defend her and then attack the Youtube Smackdown folks.
No, they’re all tied up working with NSA to ferret out dangerous right wing extremist e-mails on the internet.
Oh, she was just kidding around. There is no terrorist threat.
But Global Warming is real. And people are dying in this country because they have no
health care,insurance,money. oh they just don’t want to pay for it. They have other priorities./sarc off
LOL–her ‘live in’ had no idea.
Did she live with Hashid M’drurz?
“Hangfire,”
I do not trust Holder. He strikes me as a dishonest, agenda driven, arrogant, condescending, incompetent individual with a strongly vindictive personality.
I expect Holder to do absolutely nothing, save attack US citizens and mock Conservatives.
Mahalo.
Aloha.

I concur completely. I thought my sarcasm was obvious. Sorry.
Great Job!!!!!!!!!!!Now only another
35,000 left to go!.
I fear this will go nowhere will Holder at the helm of the [in]Justice Department. I note that what is missing among the charges filed against this slime is TREASON – which she is quite obviously guilty of, and Sedition as well.
Americans owe TJR, the anonymous whistleblower, and everyone else involved in the events that led to her arrest a tremendous “thank you.” Outstanding work. In fact, a “thank you” feels insufficient. They may have actually saved lives.
This incident is an example of the war they are waging against us. This is true extremism. We will only pacify the extremists through our submission, conversion, or death. Everyone must be reminded of that.
Compliments to MyPetJawa and those that had the tenacity to follow through on this event. What a coup, yet as usual, the FBI takes all the credit.
It matters not whether Jihad Jane is just plain nuts/insane/deluded/or indoctrinated – dangerous as all get out just the same. She clearly wanted to kill or maim someone, and no matter how screwed up she is her victims would have been just as dead.
Thank you to all those that helped bring this woman to justice (with a big cough because of the problems there). She’ll be allowed to plead insanity or suffering a slew of disorders because of Pres. Bush.
Probably, the most interesting line from the article is -
“We are plain citizens of the U.S. Without us, the FBI may of never been onto her.”
What I find fascinating, after looking through posts on the Jawa Report, is that much of this began in 2006, if not before.
A job well done by US Citizens, but what about our Homelend Security apparatus, where in the heck were they? Patriot Act? What Patriot Act?
The cat is out of the bag, but monitoring these types of activities is something that made sense. Yes, some websites are being monitored . . . overseas. OK. Fine. That is a good thing. And, the reality is the Patriot Act isn’t even necessary, because the content is published publicly.
You can’t tell me that hiring 10 – 15 people to monitor the public postings on various domestic websites does not makes sense. Is it being done? I don’t know. The Jawa Report suggests limited, or no action on this front.
[Note: I said monitor, not wiretap. That would come later as it did in this case.]
Yes, back in J. Edgar Hoover’s day, monitoring and infiltrating was everyday business as usual. Sometimes it is old fashioned shoe leather that is most successful.
Wow. I woke up to Congressman Peter King on FoxNews this morning, and he was explaining how this woman’s arrest was a testament to “the vigilance of the Obama Administration’s focus on terrorism,” or something to this effect.
There was no mention of bloggers or ANYONE outside of the Obama Administration turning her in.
Did Rep. King have this story totally wrong, or was he trying to irritate Obama’s “anti-war” base?
Weird.
Nappy Jan doesn’t want to find terrorists, only rednecks clinging to their Bibles, guns, and pocket sized copies of the Constitution. Real threats are to be protected and encouraged to donate to CAIR.
The FBI is overwhelmed investigating themselves and the CIA for preventing further terror attacks, as well as the daunting task of keeping tabs on right wing extreamists like John Patrick Bedell, Joe Stack and you from threatening the stability of the already unstable government. Or something.
I just wanted to thank the CFR filled State Department for allowing so many Muslims into this country, and the rest of the government for allowing the southern border to be so open allowing illegal aliens to flood this country for votes, free health care, free food, murder, drug dealing, jail…
Sarc/ off if you did not already know.
BTW, those who follow Mohammed are not radical. They follow true Islam. Anyone within Islam that does not follow, or support Mohammed as the perfect man is Apostate.
The only radical Muslims are the peaceful ones. Prove me wrong.
The FBI couldn’t catch jihadis because they’re too busy investigating those kooks on michellemalkin.com (I HOPE that’s only a joke).
Well, not exactly. It depends which page of the Koran you like. I read it with commentary in an attempt to comprehend Islam. I have never read a more rambling, incoherent and self contradictory document. I was more confused than when I started.
But you are correct in that Jihad is not a “perversion” or “hijacking of a great religion”, as Bush et al suggest. It is more cherry picking the passages they like. A peaceful Muslim and a radical Islamist can both be “following the teachings of Mohommad.” That’s how we know it is a false religion. It contradicts itself – not to mention basic intuition.

Hamas founder’s son: “They need to be liberated from their God”
(Hat Tip: HotAir)
I’ve read Unveiling Islam. Great resource.
I think the most concise comparison between Christianity and Islam came from John Ashcroft.
“Islam is a religion in which God requires you to send your son to die for
him. Christianity is a faith in which God sent his Son to die for you.”
Thank you for sharing that… it’s awesome, and I had never heard it before.
The following quote is from SacredCowBurgers “Lesson Learned”. It’s too bad I can’t include the photo that accompanies this piece.
You realize of course that during certain periods of history, you could easily have substituted Christian for Muslim/Islamist in this quote. The difference is that Koranic Islam is self contradictory and rather incoherant. The terms “mainstream” and “fringe” Islam are ambiguous. A peaceful Muslim and a radical Islamist are both following the teachings of Muhammed. If radical Islam/Jihad were in fact the “mainstream”, and Muslims now comprise 25% of the world’s population, wouldn’t we be fighting WW III?
The Crusades, Dark Ages, Spanish Inquisition etc. were clearly perversions of Biblical Christian principles. Peaceful Islam and radical Islam are both Koranic principles. Therein lies the contradiction and confusion.
…noooooooooooobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!
(eyes rolling): Public schooling
Indeed! Why did I know someone here would be thinking that?
Those Muslims who do not follow Mohammed are Apostate. Muslims who are peaceful are not following Mohammed.
Mohammed’s life is not one of peace.
BTW, what any evil man, or men did in the name of Christ is not Christianty.
Totally missing and/or ignoring my point, but whatever.
My point is the true truth, and your point is trying to find any hope for Islam. Of course, you can find some peaceful section within the Koran. The bottom line is what I wrote.
It is not me with the problem. It is Islam, and those who worship a false moon god, then follow a mad man. History proves me correct.
I suspect swede, there are to many individuals in Europe who see Islam as you do.
Leatherneck – Where in the world do you get the idea that I am defending Islam? I said it is a false religion because it contradicts itself. Unless God is confused and contradictory, it is nonsense. It also insists on theocracy – marriage of church and state – therefore must be opposed. Period. Not to mention while recognizing Jesus as a “prophet” it denies His deity.
The Bible contains no contradiction, and advances separation of church and state. Jesus said “Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and to God the things that are God’s.” And read Romans 13.
Whether you think Islam is a peaceful religion or Jihad depends on which page of the Koran you are reading. I have taken the time and effort to understand Islam, not defend it. I understand why you don’t care to, but your statements miss the mark as they are only half truths. If you want to look into it, the bibliography Red Pill provides in #32 is a good resource, and and English translations of the Koran with commentary are available free online. If not, as I said, whatever.
Perhaps you could try to answer my question. If radical Islamic Jihad is “mainstream” – and Muslims comprise 25% of the world population (1.8 billion and rapidly growing) – why are we not fighting WW III? A military of one tenth of one percent of Muslims could annihilate the west. Jihad is neither fringe or mainstream. But it is growing.
A military of one tenth of one percent can do nothing without air, and other support. The supply line would be cut, and the great military you state would die.
You call radical Islamic Jihad the not true Islam. Some support such action with money, others support with not saying anything. Passive support is still support.
There is no such thing as radical Islam, there is just Islam. Those following Mohammed are true to the religion. Those who are peaceful are Apostate, and should get another religion.
I got the impression you thought there was a peaceful Muslim within the house of war. Jihad is being waged in America with bombs, and pressure though the courts.
CAIR, and the Muslim brotherhood along with the rest of Islam is not here to be Americans, but to change America from within. Look at their schools, and see what they teach.
This is why the left loves them so much, The left hates America as we grew up knowing her.
I did not state half truths.
Leatherneck, I’ll raise the white flag, or rather the red, white and blue one with you. You are talking about conventional warfare here, with which you are obviously experienced. (BTW, sincere thanks for your service)
But doesn’t conventional warfare entail things like honor, courage, loyalty, patriotism, comaraderie, self-sacrifice and the like? The Islamists are cowards who think they are going to paradise by killing. And yes, Muhammed was a raping, murdering, pillaging thug. Jihadi “warriors” talk tough about fighting, then hide behind the skirts of women and little children. If there were indeed hundreds of millions who bought into Jihad, they would blend into the world population and wreak havoc bringing on utter chaos. Perhaps that’s what they are doing. But I can’t see how it is mainstream. The level of violence does not seem to indicate that. Yet.
While living in Manila, I met and bartered with Muslims daily in the markets. They have small mosques there and practice their religion peacefully. I found them very open to talking about Christ, as they know inherantly that their religion offers them no real hope of salvation. This is the level I fight them on – Spiritual warfare. It is real and the power of the Gospel and God’s Spirit can overcome any spiritual enemy.
Dear swede,
I can see now you have a good heart, and wish to do your best at loving the enemy as Christ commanded us to.
You are correct in there being Muslims who are at peace. I was trying to show how they are now true Muslims, and need to get another religion. They do not follow Mohammed.
There is no argument in what I write today, so please do not take it as such.
Do we not see the riots already, and no go zones in Europe, and America? The MSM will not print the marches in New York by moon god worshipers condemning Israel. We read in the paper every few days now how some mislead Muslim tried to blow Americans up, or plan to murder, or succeeded in murdering Americans on our soil.
It appears our country is headed now just down the secular humanist hell on earth culture, but divided down racial, and religious lines like Beirut.
Look at Deerbornstand, and Virgina Islamic schools. See the millions of Mexico’s poor sucking on the tax payer tit, with the attack on marriage, and the rewriting of history to mislead our youth…
It is a full court press. What you write about millions of Jihad loving murdering POS is not happening on the scale you describe due to the need for money. The likes of the Muslim brotherhood, and Al Qieda need the funds to keep flowing. Soon enough, we will see the peaceful Jihad, and the violent Jihad merge.
500 Christians were murdered in Africa by the religion of peace, yet where is it in the news? Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Pakistan, Turkey, ect… all wage Jihad on non-Muslims.
I still don’t see it, leatherneck, but will agree that constant and increased vigilance is necessary and wise, and resistance to Sharia law should be universal and uncompromising.
When I was a kid, we sent a huge oak stump 20 feet in the air using a 5 gal paint can, some fertilizer, diesel fuel and a makeshift fuse. (Should have picked our observation post further from ground zero, but that’s another story) I don’t think money is the obstacle if these people really wanted to do damage, and they are already ingrained in the cultures of every continent.
While Christians are to love their enemies, “turning the other cheek” is most often misinterpreted. If someone comes to bring harm to you or your family or friends, you fight. Jesus said “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends” – then that’s exactly what He did for us. A great epitaph for any fallen soldier as well, no?
BTW, the peaceful Muslims in Manila are countered by the radical groups like Abu Sayaf in Mindinao. They have been trying for years to have the Island declared an independent Islamic state. The Philippines will never let it go. DelMonte alone has millions of hectares of pineapples, sugar, bananas etc there.
swede,
I have enjoyed our back and forth writing.
G-d’s speed to you.
