Those Darned Amish and Quakers Are At It Again

[guido911]

Mohamud, a naturalized U.S. citizen and student at Oregon State University, was taken into custody near the square after he attempted to use a cellphone to trigger what he believed was a car bomb, according to a U.S. government complaint.

He lashed out at agents, yelling and kicking them, and had to be restrained, it said.

Agents had shadowed Mohamud and met him several times as the plot developed, the U.S. government said. He told FBI agents that he had thought of waging violent jihad, or holy war, since the age of 15, federal officials said.

Mohamud proceeded with the plot despite opportunities to back away, according to the complaint, which quotes him praising the September 11, 2001 attack on New York City and expressing a desire to see "body parts and blood" in Portland.

"I want whoever is attending that event to leave, to leave either dead or injured."

The Mogadishu-born Mohamud planned to flee the United States after exploding his car bomb, the government said.

Amish and Quakers?

When the FBI "foils a terrorist plot" it usually involves a scenario that was cooked up by the FBI, funded by them and materials provided by undercover agents.   Just add incompetent malcontent, stir, let simmer.

You're kidding; right?

Consider the source of the reply.

[Hoss]

Consider the source of the reply.

Yes, as I'm doing with this...

[Red Arrow]

Yes, as I'm doing with this...

I would expect nothing less from you and I also consider the source when you reply.

Next.....

Actually, no.  Walk me through it.

Actually, the Amish are the present day representatives of the Anabaptists, whose members were vilified, persecuted, and killed in the Middle Ages for their opposition to both church and state.  And the Quakers were thrown out of the New England colonies where they were widely regarded as heretics and troublemakers.  The Society of Friends is still involved in many anti-war and anti-nuclear protests.

So, yes, those pesky Amish and Quakers are still at it, and in another context some here would undoubtedly regard them as anti-American.

Sorry, you need to join the society and get the secret decoder ring.

Forgot to say that although I am obviously right of center, I am not a card carrying Tea Party Member (if such a thing even exists), nor am I about to fall off the right side of the earth.  It just looks that way from your perch.

Actually from my perch you seem one of the more reasonable rightward oriented folks here. 

And believe it or not, I'm much more of a pragmatist than I pretend to be.

OSU doesn't claim him.  He apparently was a drop out.

And the local KKK in that area may have already started "payback" operations, without finding out any facts of the case, like if that punk even attended the place.  There was an arson fire at a Muslim place of worship facility in Corvallis.
