Florida-A Terrorist's Wonderland
Florida has a lot of imported nut jobs and home grown whackos, and we are a real favorite of terrorists. Well, those of a 'religion of peace' bent. Sami Al-Arian, a former USF professor and practitioner of the peaceful religion, are in trouble. According to the AP (above link) "Al-Arian and his co-defendants are scheduled for trial June 6. They could get life in prison if convicted on charges that include racketeering, providing material support to terrorists and money laundering."
"The Tampa cell was primarily responsible for raising money and serving as a communications center for the Islamic Jihad during the mid-1990s, Assistant U.S. Attorney Terry Furr told a judge during a pretrial hearing for former University of South Florida professor Sami Al-Arian and three other men."
"This is an elitist, little group of people, all highly educated, trying to convince people to go kill themselves on their behalf," Furr said."
"Furr said Tampa was so central to the terrorist group's organization that at times when Islamic Jihad members in different countries could not communicate with each other, three-way telephone calls would be placed through Tampa."
The Sunshine State has many terrorist ties, especially with 9/11. And ol' professor Sami has been integrally involved. Just some of the latest good news from sunny Florida. Yes, we are blessed.
