Those Alabama boys were probably planning a Camel Pokin jihad... they always have had an affection for animals.

You made me spit my food all over,that was very funny..thanks

3score&4 - your ignorance is a damn shame.

Something told me that there would be a Mohammed involved.

Just trying to be like the original, that explains it.

Too bad you will not look a real Alabama boy in the face and tell him what you really think. You may learn something.

Color me confused. These are muslims going from the US to a Muslim country to wage holy war? If you want to slay dragons, and you live in a dragon cave, why would you go back to the castle to slay dragons?

Let them continue to go to Africa to wage a Jihad. Consider the Alabama yahoo terrorists our Chrimmas gift.

Under what charges can these two men be held?

What U.S. law prohibits someone from "planning" to go to another country to engage in "violent jihad"?

And, legalistically speaking, how does such "planning" differ from hearsay?

The arrests/detentions seem premature; what crime has been committed here on U.S. soil?

Too bad you will not look a real Alabama boy in the face and tell him what you really think. You may learn something.

I did, in the Army circa 1969, I looked one right in the face, at his buck-teeth and alfalfa hair and said, "Son, if I see you humpin that pig one more time, I'll get a preacher up here and do the nuptials in front of the entire Battalion." He said, "Sir, it ain't nothin serious, we jes makin bacon!"

BMette,

Short answer: President Obama's January 21, 2009 Patriot Acts (Plural US Laws). Expanded Presidential Powers. Preemptive Detentions. Monitoring and Censorship of All US Communications. US Military Use of Deadly Force Against US Citizens. (No) Material Support to Terrorist Organizations (No "Expert Advise" like Legal Representation for the accused). Without Warrant Mandatory Cooperation of Communications Providers. US Military Tribunals renamed by President Obama's Administration to US Military Commissions (appointed Legal Defense with no access to Witnesses nor Classified Evidence). Inclusion of the previously ruled Unconstitutional S.1959 and H.R.1955 aka the George Orwell 1984 Thought Crimes Laws in that the Thought of either witnessed verbal or written is the Crime (Felony) like S.1959 and H.R.1955 definition "Anyone Stating a Radical Change to (US) Government is a Homegrown Domestic Terrorist".

S.1959 (US Senate) and H.R.1955 (US House of Representatives):

Long answer: There is quite a lot more to the above.

So basically, take your pick. Demoncraps "Rights, Rights, you don't need no stinking Rights", "Rights that's only for Illegal Aliens"; the majority Mandated (Voted for Reelection means Unconditional Approval of previous Actions and Results) all of this (above). example: Then Speaker for ALL Demoncraps, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, "Anyone returning from the Wars are potential Homegrown Domestic Terrorists" (Guilty Until Proven Innocent; instead of, the Right of the Due Process of Law of Innocent Until Proven Guilty), being a Potential Homegrown Domestic Terrorist as US Military returning from the Wars means having all those nasty things done to you by Homeland Security, the TSA, etc. as a "person of interest", "suspect", etc..

Add President Obama's 2012 US Military Indefinite Detentions of US Citizens.

bmette: Shorter answer. INTENT!

The fact is for many, many years, all Americans' communication within the USA and externally have been monitored by the US government, through its various agencies, priavte or otherwise. The idea of an American saying that he has been living in the land of free is the most accurate indication of gross ignorance. America has never been a free country for millions of its citizens, for many decades.

It is thge profound ignorance on the part of so millions of Americans that has allowed the sharade to continue for so long.

Now, that a black man is the president it is far easier to say that he is not an American and that is why he is doing what he is doing.

The truth is, Obama has unfurled the real America for everyone to see, including the profoundly ignorant.

Why don't those Muslims, who want Sharia laws and jihad, in non-Muslim nations go back to their Muslim nations?

Anyhow, they are big liabilities and Trojan horses in our societies and nations.

I think you mean, "put them on a plane and drop them between here and Africa" problem solved. No parachutes of course, wouldn't want to interfere with their virgins and crap like that in their afterlife.

Maybe they did. Wasn't there a story just yesterday about some guy falling from the sky?

Give them a nice 2000lb bomb voyage present and drop them off at one of the terrorist training camps.

TFNJ shush, not supposed to let on about that, they might catch on. lol

When Saudi Arabia does not permit non-Islamic religious places, why should we permit their mosques, Islamic hate preaching and killer training centers?

Start closing all mosques in non-Muslim nations starting from the US.

Dang Annie you beat me to it, that's EXACTLY what I was thinking as well. Hee hee...

Reminds me of the old Saturday Night Live skit where the family sunk all their money into dads dream store at the mall. The tape store...."Nope, just the sticky kind" was his usual line.

But I heard the fragrance was dynamite.

Annie-322924: "I can only imagine the 'fragrances' they chose to sell. I'm sure Eau de Camel Dung is not a big hit in Alabama". We are talking about 'Bama.....Eau de Horse Sh*t is big down there, so why would they turn up their nose at camel dung extract?? You gotta live down there a while to appreciate the lifestyle. They have long, greasy hair, big beards & moustaches, NASCAR hats covered with grease, boots with holes in them, and more tattoos than you could shake a stick at. And the guys are even worse!! (If anyone from Alabama has someone reading this for them, I'm just kidding!!)

Camel dung and pork meat are good combinations. So give them to jihadis in jails!

You're being very generous. Unfortunately, you're being insulting to idiots idiots world wide. Even idiots aren't THAT stupid.

Gotta watch those Alabamian Jihadists

Why do I get the image of a guy on a camel picking a banjo.

Like Deliverance with Turbans.

Like Deliverance with Turbans.

Will have to change pig squealing part, Muslims don't like pork, maybe they squeal like a donkey.

Maybe just LALALALALALA

don97524,

Too many voters embrace feel-good propaganda that they want to hear instead of learning the basic facts about issues they care about. They should do a better job of calling out dishonest politicians -- and shunning media outlets that stoke political food fights.

Too bad President Clinton believed that the "Cold War Era" Intelligence Agencies as built up by Director of the CIA Bush (President 41) were no longer necessary before he decided to Gut the US Intelligence Agencies (and chopping the US Defense Budget* as the US Intelligence Agencies Funds) leaving the US Blind and Deaf to the Events leading up to the 9/11 2001 Attacks, Bipartisan 9/11 Commission (Committee) Investigations, Findings, and Recommendations, afterwards former President Clinton saying, "I'm a so sorry".

*President Clinton's chopping of the US Defense Budget also Resulted in President Clinton as Commander In Chief Ordered Cut to the Bone Reduction In Forces of the US Military (US Military must use more of the expensive US Contractors (overpaid too expensive US Civilian Jobs, instead of in house cheap below minimum wage US Military Personnel)). And more important, the loss of Funding for the Longterm US Infrastructure Projects of the US Army Corps of Engineers, like their inspections required upgrades, modifications, building new, retrofits, etc. of the Levees at New Orleans before Hurricane Katrina, Bipartisan US Congressional Katrina Hearings. This President Clinton (chops) loss of Longterm funds also pertain to the other US Army Corps of Engineer Longterm Projects of Beach Erosion, "Berms" aka Levees at New Jersey (Hurricane Sandy Flooding), Sea Walls, Dredging (current Floods and Droughts), Irrigation Canals (current Droughts), Bridges, etc. as these Longterm Funds are for Longterm Contracts that take Decades in advance due to Contracting Requirements, Contracting Audits, Legal Reviews, Court Cases, Lawsuits, etc.. It was also President Clinton's Belief that the "Cold War Era" US Military was also unnecessary, so as Commander In Chief President Clinton Ordered his Cut to the Bone Reduction In Forces of the US Military while volunteering the US Military for the United Nation's "Non Wars" like UN Mission Somalia as Operation Continue Hope.

Iraq: 2003 Operation Iraqis Freedom to accomplish President Clinton's US Law, H.R.4655 "Iraqis Liberation Act of 1998" Justification Section 2 Weapons of Mass Destruction, Section 3 US Policy Overthrow of President Hussein, with US Congressional Appropriations; as President Clinton's Failed attempt with US Military Operation Desert Fox with the Result of the Islamic World condemning the US as the Great Satan.

Basically, President Bush (43) accomplished a Standing US Law, that President Clinton (42) demanded (1998 State of the Union Address) and failed to accomplish (US Policy Overthrow of President Hussein).

US Economy President Clinton eliminated those US Laws that made Illegal the Causes of the previous Depressions, resulting in the current $60 Trillion to $100 Trillion Global Economic Crisis consisting of the Mortgage Crisis, Wall Street Crisis, Financial Crisis, Banking Crisis, Credit Crisis, etc. as identical Results of the previous Great Depression.

Adding to the future Mortgage Crisis, President Clinton demands in his Community Reinvestment Act of 1995 (CRA1995), that Financial Institutions provide Loans including to those without a viable means to repay the Loans.

In exchange for "Donations" (Bribes) from the Chinese President Clinton gave China Most Favored Trade Nation Status, as stated during his Impeachment as "Chinagate". Your naive belief that it was a "coincidence" that he was previously the Governor of Arkansas and that the Headquarters for Made In China Walmart is at Arkansas.

"Budget Surplus", nope; as US Congress "Sandbagged" by Appropriating more money than he could spend. As the Real Economic Indicator is the Interest on the National Debt, as President Clinton's $18.9 Billion versus President Bush's $16.6 Billion.

Basically, President Clinton (42) wrecked the car, then handed the car keys to Bush (43).

Do the Research, don97524, you might learn something; as your computer is not just for porn.

Clinton warned Bush about bin Laden before he left office, based on preliminary intelligence. Bush ignored it. Soon afterward the World Trade Towers came down.

1. Actually, the intelligence was good enough to locate bin Laden in Afghanistan, but he got away. How was that Clinton's fault?
2. Why wasn't a small military force sent to take care of bin Laden instead of the major military action we chose?
3. Why did we go into Iraq at all? They were not training terrorists, as Bush claimed.
4. Why did we go into Iraq at all? There were no WMD. [Actually there was intelligence information both for and against the WMD case but the Bush administration decided that they didn't have to know beyond reasonable doubt before proceeding ..... in fact they characterized it as a "slam dunk" based on intelligence. That was not Clinton's fault.
5. Why did we go into Iraq at all? Did you really buy those lame justifications like "they hate our freedom" or "we are bringing Democracy to the Middle East"

You accuse me of being partisan. Could anyone possibly read your preceding rant and believe that you are neutral?

from Merriam-Websters dictionary

ji had

1. a holy war waged on behalf of Islam as a religious duty; also : a personal struggle in devotion to Islam especially involving spiritual discipline
2. a crusade for a principle or belief

By those men's definition, I'm sure what they were doing in their eyes was to be a jihad. Sorry if the commonly accepted definition of jihad does not match yours. And actually NBC News does the opposite; less Islamic terrorism is reported on NBC news compared to most other news sites/sources.

Also, a jihad can come in a violent or non-violent manner, or a "lesser jihad." I think you're restraining jihad to refer to only the "greater jihad" which is the inner struggle against a sinful world.

Who brainwashed you with the definition of Jihad that you just described? Maybe those very same Imams who are brainwashing young Muslims to believe that it is good to fight against the bad Western world and its values? Then why the f*ck do you guys live in this world???

Go back go Pakistan, Yemen and all those other places where your "beautiful" religion is lived with great success and admiration.

Now that right there, thats some funny stuff fer sure.

Hilarity ensues when hicks and muslims get together

A Huslim?

The odd-er couple?

The Hatfields & McMohameds?

Joseph must be a "weekend-warrior" Muslim and only read the good parts. He got rocked by both of us, John! (scroll up to his original comment if you're wondering what I mean)
