Especially after hearing my Muslim Representative's comments about not falling for the 'guilt-trap' of trying to keep Grandma alive.

ANY kind of Jihadi is a problem. I've talked with some Muslims in the area. When I bring up the "contentious issues" of death and violence, they typically lie.
Now, I can tell they are lying when I have read the Hadith they deny, the translations of the Koran which they say are translated wrong, and the long, long record of violent attacks committed by Muslims around the world which they say are actually Muslims under attack everywhere. I have even met with some and presented documentation to counter their claims; they deny the validity and dismiss the documents as 'nothing'. This has been a consistent behavior based on my experiences.

33 | Mich-again Tue, Aug 4, 2009 8:25:24pm |
From the indictment..
33. On or about October 7, 2008, defendant JUDE KENAN MOHAMMAD departed the United States to travel to Pakistan to engage in violent jihad.
34. On November 3, 2008, defendant DANIEL PATRICK BOYD, a/k/a "Saifullah," purchased a Mossburg 100 ATR .270 rifle and a Llama Comanche III .357 revolver.
35. On November 6, 2008, defendant DANIEL PATRICK BOYD, a/k/a "Saifullah," purchased a Century Arms AK Sporter 7.62 X 39 rifle.
36. On November 11, 2008, defendant DANIEL PATRICK BOYD, a/k/a "Saifullah," purchased a Ruger mini 30 7.62 X 39 rifle.
The whole indictment reads like that. A timeline of the accused ones' travels abroad to attempt to wage violent jihad, intermingled with the records of purchases of weapons back home. It seems kind of odd to me that the Feds were watching this all unfold. Yep, he's buying another weapon. Check. They must have been in a ready mode all that time.

Today, the news says they played a tape where Jihad was discussed as the duty of every Muslim. They said the common western definition is a Holy war The defense will have fun with that, and the mere fact that he owned guns. I hope the government has a strong case, or some potential bad guys could get off on reasonable doubt. He has waged real Holy war in the past, against the Russians in Afghanistan, so he's no Boy Scout.

This issue has been discussed numerous times at LGF and in other places. The Old Testament contains passages where God tells the Jewish people to wage war against certain tribes living on land declared by God to be for the Jews. The New Testament does not contain injunctions to inflict violence against non-believers.
The Koran, Sunnah, and many Hadith contain specific statements to wage war (qital, to fight) unbelievers everywhere, on an ongoing basis. Please let's not get bogged down on this again.

Yes, but let's put this to bed, alright. The ANCIENT history of Judaism was replete with incidents of Israel conquering cities, towns and land, and using a religion as a motivation. The same thing can be said of Christianity.
But, that is ancient history. Both religions and associated cultures has had their fair share of "reformations," both religiously and culturally.
Islam has not, and they are still following a desert and tribal cultural mores which don't consort with modern human rights and cultural advancements.
There is NO COMPARISON. Period.

A gunman walked into an aerobics room at a Collier fitness center, turned out the lights and opened fire Tuesday evening, leaving at least four dead and 10 wounded.
Allegheny County police Superintendent Charles Moffatt said "there's a good belief" the dead included the shooter, who witnesses said walked into the LA Fitness center in Great Southern Shopping Center along Washington Pike shortly after 8 p.m.
"He kept firing and firing," said Dennis Curry, 28, of Scott, who said he was working out on an elliptical machine upstairs when he heard the gunfire. "There was chaos. I ran out the back door, saw a girl lying there with a gunshot wound. I put a shirt on her to try and stop (the bleeding). There was blood everywhere."

Another canard. One hundred years after Mo's death, two-thirds of the Christain Holy Land was under Muslim control, conquered by force. Names of towns were changed to eliminate their Christian and Jewish history. Jerusalem say the Dome of the Rock built on the ruins of the Jewish temple. Muslims were harassing Christian pilgrims and slowly destroying the Eastern Christian empire. The Crusades were a response to Islamic aggression. There were no Biblical passages to support military action, though. The Pope authorized it to protect the Holy places.

Yes it did. But it did sound like you were supporting a contemporary comparison between Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Sorry, I read it the wrong way.
But my point still stands. What Judaism and Christianity (and other religions) have done in the historical past has nothing to do with the current state of Islam and it's on going commands from the Koran to CONTINUE to use violence and even death to subdue the planet for Allah.

I am aware of the two definitions of Jihad. I am also aware of "nasik wa mansuk" which means "the Abrogators and the Abrogated". Parts of the Koran written during the pre-hejirah phase in Mecca are abrogated by subsequent passages written in Yithrab (Medina) after Hejirah (migration or exodus). It is possible that a Muslim will quote, "there is no compulsion in religion" to a Kafir, even though that verse is null and void.
I do not recall making a claim about all Muslims are evil. I do believe that any accusation about bigotry should be balanced against one's knowledge and experience in a subject. What do you know about Islam?

ANY kind of Jihadi is a problem. I've talked with some Muslims in the area. When I bring up the "contentious issues" of death and violence, they typically lie.
Now, not all muslims are jihadi, and some jihad is internal, and some is violent.

I thank Salamantis and Dark Falcon for pointing out my veering off on topic. I am not as familiar with the Inquisition as with the Crusades. The Inquisition was not justified on a Biblical basis, either. I think I was going to discuss both and inadvertantly stopped after the Crusades. Since it's late, I think I need to retire and try again tomorrow. Thank you all for a free exchange of ideas. Any contention should be handled in a respectful way, without the 'seething' common to the intolerant Muslim populations. Differences of viewpoint should always be supported by facts. Perhaps Furry Old Guy Jeans should research history so as to better inform himself about the major religions.

From the indictment..
The whole indictment reads like that. A timeline of the accused ones' travels abroad to attempt to wage violent jihad, intermingled with the records of purchases of weapons back home. It seems kind of odd to me that the Feds were watching this all unfold. Yep, he's buying another weapon. Check. They must have been in a ready mode all that time.
interesting timeline...a weapon a week
it seems like it would be difficult to get the rifles into another country, unless they recently came up with an alternative mode of transportation. I can just imagine the Lufthansa baggage handlers/X-ray machine operators getting an eyefull of that...

You know that largely symbolic clothing and/or accessories are not the same as being completely cut off from the world around you.
