Taking the wrong side in Brussels Powerline Blog ^ \| 9-14-07 \| Paul Mirengoff powerlineblog.com Diana West brings to our attention a dismaying story from Brussels -- the brutalizing by Belgian police of peaceful demonstrators from a group called Stop the Islamization of Europe, including a member of the European parliament. It seems that European states not only increasingly accommodate Shariah (Islamic law), but are taking sides against those who exercise what (outside of Islamic law) is their right to protest this development. JOHN adds: Here's the video. The The distinguished-looking guy who gets roughed up by the police first is Luk Van Nieuwenhuysen, the Vice-President of the Flemish Parliament.....

Terrorists Have Been Arrested at Texas Border Stormwarning's Counterterrorism ^ \| September 15, 2007 moonagewebdream.blogs.com Texas Director of Homeland Security, Steve McCraw revealed Wednesday that 6 yrs. after Sept. 11th, people have connected to Hezbollah, Hamas and al Qaeda have been arrested at the Texas border. What will it take to strengthen our border security? Maybe a Texan in the White House cares about border security? Wait! GWB is a Texan...does he care? Michael Cutler on Counterterrorism Blog alerted me to this when I finally got to read his post from yesterday afternoon: I want you to take a moment to let the significance of all of this sink in. Our nation is at war with terrorists who have already killed thousands of innocent victims within our nation's borders. The commonly quoted number of victims is approximately 3,000. In point of fact I fear that the ultimate toll will actually be a multiple of that number when you factor in all of the people who are dying of lung diseases and other ailments associated with the various highly toxic pollutants that were released when the buildings at the World Trade Center complex collapsed. And now we see how the open borders of the United States facilitate the entry of terrorists, at a time when "We the People" are being inconvenienced, and our freedoms and expectations of privacy are being significantly reduced. What will it take for our government, that's the federal government led the by amnesty-prone GWB administration to get serious about border security? In a speech delivered on Wednesday, September 12, 2007 to the North Texas Crime Commission, Steve McCraw, the state Director of Homeland Security for Texas revealed that three years ago a South African woman named Farida Goolam Mahomed Ahmed was one of several terrorist suspects arrested crossing the Mexican border near McAllen Texas. She had ties to a Pakistani terrorist group that smuggled foreign nationals across the border and was deported. U.S. Rep. Solomon Ortiz, D-Corpus Christi, who first announced that Ahmed’s name appeared on a federal terrorism watch list in 2004, balked Thursday after hearing of McCraw’s remarks. “The Bush administration has not really leveled with the people,” he said. “But she’s been gone for how long, and now all of a sudden she’s a terrorist? I was confident in my information all along.” This comes on the heals of a federal agency’s revelation that Islamic extremists and Mexican drug cartels have joined forces to smuggle weapons and terrorists into the country. The linkage of narco-terrorism and jihadist terrorism is not a new revelation (at least not to me or some of my "associates"). But what the heck are we doing? See this: Official says terrorists have been arrested on border. There are two points from this article: (1) U.S. officials and illegal immigrant advocates have vehemently denied a terrorist threat from the southern border, insisting that those who cross are merely desperate, humble and hard-working people seeking the American dream and willing to do jobs most U.S. citizens won’t even consider. (2) Early last month a Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) report laid out how Islamic terrorists and violent Mexican drug gangs have teamed up to successfully penetrate the U.S. as well as finance terror networks in the Middle East. The alarming report said that the Mexican cartels and terrorists have taken advantage of a porous border and lack of intelligence sharing among key U.S. government agencies. It concluded that any future September 11th type of event in the country may be facilitated by drug traffickers operating on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border.
