Afghan hijacker now working at Heathrow airport

Via Robert Spencer on May 16 from the Telegraph:

An Afghan hijacker who forced an airliner to fly to Britain is now working at Heathrow, it has been disclosed.

Nazamuddin Mohammidy, 34, was one of a gang of nine that threatened to blow up an internal flight in Afghanistan, along with 173 passengers and crew, unless they were granted political asylum.

The Afghan hijackers forced the Boeing 727 to divert to Britain where they surrendered to police and the SAS after a 70-hour stand-off at Stansted Airport, Essex in February 2000.

Mohammidy, of Hounslow, Middlesex, is now working as an office cleaner for British Airways….

Good GOD, is this an invitation to disaster or what.? As I said earlier, bend over, here it comes…

bend over and get ready, here it comes…

I’m sorry, but these two things really pissed me off.

First you have Obama saying that Hezbollah and Hamas have “legitimate claims”, then you have Matthis Chiroux who was so emotionally swayed by the testimony in front of the socialist progressive congressional caucus that he refuses to participate in an “illegal” “unconstitutional” war, and then you have a quran shooting soldier ‘removed’ from his deployment in Iraq.

Does anyone see a big picture here?

Can anyone say dhimmitude?

One should remember that Chiroux played journalist while serving 5 years in the army. (Jonn’s MOS was 46Q, and points out that a 46Q journalist MOS doesn’t require Chiroux to do any of the heavylifting - no fighting, no patrolling.) And while he was there *shocka!* he experienced hostile environments “fighting” against Islamic insurgents.

booohooooooohoooo!

Bend over. Here it comes.

While leftists are encouraging conscientious objection (at least they’re not publicly tell Chiroux to frag his officers like Ward Churchill has done)-Obama is saying Hamas and Hezbollah has legitimate claims, and our own military is telling our guys to stop using the koran for target practice and instead, bend over and kiss it.

Meanwhile, George Bush says the appeasers are the Neville Chamberlains of our time.

Completely true, of course. Terrorist appeasing isn’t only going on in the media.

Does Scott Covington represent Drudge?

Apparently Scott Covington, the owner of The Piano Store in Houston Texas, on Saturday May 17, 2008, said to Chicago Police Homicide Detectives that he’s a “reporter for the DrudgeReport”, while he was trying to get information about the going CPD investigation - presumably into the mysterious Obama-connected death of the Donald Young, the gay choir director of Jeremiah Wright’s Trinity Church of Christ.

See Larry’s post about it here.

The most disgusting part about this is Covington calling Larry’s mother and trying to bilk her out of $200.00.

Why can’t they leave Sinclair and his family alone?

Certainly they can see what a poor reflection they are on Obama, his campaign, and Axelrod et al. Do we really want to have someone in office - any office - that treats people like this - or whose campaign representatives treat people like this?

wrestling with video formats; asf to mov

Filed under: Blogosphere , technology @ 10:43 am

I have a little pocket video camera that has been chugging along quite well. That, in addition to the nice little camera my husband got for me for taking pictures, I have two little gadgets that have been serving me quite well over the years - when I was selling things on ebay and needed quick pictures for that, and for other purposes.

But since I got my mac I’ve discovered I’m having some difficulty with the asf files generated by my little video camera. When I was working on the pc it was never a problem; but now if I want to use imovie and learn about its great capabilities, I’m finding I need to convert those asf files to something that imovie can use.

Right now I can’t import them.

Any ideas about a cheap way to convert those files so I can use them?

I’m assuming I want to convert those from the asf format to mov.

When reading about the specs on the amazing little flip camera, it doesn’t appear as though I’ll have those challenges when using that as my little pocket video camera.

A prayer for Jack Idema from Fahim:

You fought for the people who were left so behind..You fought for the women who were treated like slaves…You fought for the children who were sexually attacked….You fought for a country and freed it as well…You fought for America to stop the terror…I will pray for you Jack, with my every breath…You are a hero and will be always.

It is customary on Sundays for me to offer up a prayer for Jack and Brent and that they’re both able to return home to the United States safely and without repurcussions from our government for doing the job they were sent to do…

If they’re not appreciated by our own government, it is good to know that Afghanistanis appreciate them for what they did and how they sacrificed for the people and women of Afghanistan.

But this is today: a depiction of David Horowitz by the Muslim Student Association at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

The anti Semitic hate for people who dare even talk about what is at the heart of the Islamo-fascist movement is breathtaking. What you get when you dare expose the professors and students on our campuses today who serve as apologists for the butchers of jihad, is character assassination of nazi stormtrooper genre.

From David Horowitz through email:

Of course that is precisely what we’re doing with our Terrorist Awareness Project (TAP), and, more specifically, our recent Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week on campuses across the nation - including Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

We are exposing the secret agenda of pro-terrorist supporters across the nation, especially on the campuses of our universities. And we’re also showing how the Muslim Brotherhood, godfather to al Qaeda and Hamas, helped create the Muslim Student Association and other Muslim student groups as part of its stealth jihad against American institutions.

Founded in Egypt in the late 1920s, the Muslim Brotherhood has long used violence as the primary means to its end — strict compliance to Sharia law, death to all Jews, the oppression of all non-believers, and Muslim rule across the globe. That the ultra-radical, rabidly violent Muslim Brotherhood lurks behind the scenes of Muslim Student Associations across the nation should be of concern to every American!

The theme of our most recent lslamo Fascism Awareness Week was a “Declaration Against Genocide” - the genocide against the Jews first called for by Islam’s prophet Mohammed and echoed with increasing menace by radical Islamists in the Middle East and on American college campuses today.

How serious are they about this new genocide? The Muslim Student Association at the University of Southern California has the call for genocide on its website, verbatim. “The Prophet, prayer and peace be upon him, said: The time [of judgment] will not come until Muslims will fight the Jews and kill them, until the Jews hide behind rocks and trees, which will cry: O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, come on and kill him!”

Radical Islam is fascism by another name. And across our nation, our universities - funded by your tax dollars - are harboring what amounts to indoctrination cells for Islamo-Fascism. These universities are allowing these Muslim Student Associations to masquerade as harmless cultural and religious organizations, rather than the front groups for jihad that they are. Not only this, university administrators and student governments are funding these MSA chapters so that they can preach hate and incite violence.

So, today, following my encounters with hatred at UC Santa Barbara, UC Irvine, and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, the Freedom Center is launching a campaign dedicated to exposing the bond between the Muslim Brotherhood and Muslim Student Associations!

We’ve just published a pamphlet, The Muslim Student Association and The Jihad Network which details the relationship between the violent Muslim Brotherhood and American MSAs. We need to get this into the hands of college students concerned about this front group for terror, and to university administrators, policy makers and members of Congress. This is the first step of our fall campaign to send speakers onto more than 100 university campuses to engage the Muslim Student Association in its lair.

You have always helped us help our country. Now I’m asking for your support once again. We must raise $146,700 for the broadest possible distribution of The Muslim Student Association and The Jihad Network and for our fall campaign to confront this fifth column on the campuses of America.

Will you help us today? Simply click on this link and make a contribution of $50, $100, or, if possible, $250 today. In fact,if you’re able to make a contribution of $35 or greater today, I will rush you a FREE copy of “The Muslim Student Association and The Jihad Network”!
