Brief Biography of Mossad's Secret Agent, Mohamed Atta
2004-09-12
From the Ledger-Enquirer, an article by John Crewdson of The Chicago Tribune. (Link found in IntelWire)
.... they [Mohamed Atta's group] believed they were striking a blow at what Atta considered "the center of `world Jewry,' and the world of finance and commerce controlled by it," according to a former Atta follower named Shahid Nickels. So paranoid had Atta become, Nickels told the BKA, that he believed Monica Lewinsky was "an agent sent by the Jews" to bring down the Clinton administration because it was too sympathetic to the Palestinian cause. ....

During most of the eight years he lived and studied in Hamburg, ... [Atta was] called Mohamed El-Amir. Atta, as he is known to history, was his grandfather's name, adopted only after he moved to Florida to take up flying, perhaps in hopes of obscuring his Hamburg connections. .... Doris Michaels, a Hamburg woman in whose home Atta stayed during his first months in Germany, remembered Atta putting his hands over his eyes and leaving the room when anything remotely explicit appeared on television. But Michaels also recalled Atta saying "that for him, being a practicing Muslim, it was not easy to be 24 years old and unmarried and have no sexual relationship whatsoever." ....

Finding a wife is a preoccupation of most devout young Muslim men, for whom sex outside marriage is forbidden. But several who knew Atta thought he seemed uninterested in women. Bechir Bejaoui, a Tunisian who met Atta in the library at the Technical University of Hamburg-Harburg, also recalled Atta saying he intended to return to Egypt after graduation and marry. But a young Muslim novitiate named Shahid Nickels thought that when Atta talked about marriage it was only "symbolically."

#4  ...He feared Allah, and he knew that the Koran would not approve of such deeds, and that he would be punished at the Day of Judgment."

Atta apparently loved allan more than he feared Allah.

#1  NOW I get it. Monica Lewinsky was an agent sent by Mossad whose only relationship with Clinton was a sexual one. Atta was a devout muslim sent by Mossad who had no interest in women.

Maybe I don't get it after all.
