| Islamofascists Threaten New Mexico Christian |

| International : Christian Internet Terror Watchdog Undaunted by Islamist Threats By Allie Martin and Jenni Parker A New Mexico homeless shelter director, who also writes for a Christian news service, claims he has been targeted for death by users of a radical Islamist website. Salman Rushdie, move over. Jeremy Reynalds is executive director of Joy Junction, a Christian emergency homeless shelter in Albuquerque. Also, as a freelance writer and private citizen who helps to monitor Internet terrorism, he has identified and helped shut down several websites operated by radical Muslim groups that advocate terrorist activity. That fact has secured him a "persona non grata" label among Islamic extremists -- perhaps one in particular. What good is the Patriot Act, without counter-terror patriots. Christian Wire Service (CWS) reports that just hours prior to the January 30 elections in Iraq, a jihadist terror site -- "www.mawsuat.com" -- was taken off-line by its U.S. Internet service provider after Reynalds alerted the ISP to the site's contents. Through the Federal Bureau of Investigations and other sources, the freelancer has since learned that his role in that site's demise has angered a number of jihadist radicals. And now, a recent posting on a Houston, Texas-based website called Ansarnet has publicly blamed Reynalds for the shutdown of the site. A discussion on Ansarnet, started by the person who ran the now defunct "mawsuat.com," included the Christian writer's home address so that he could be "visited," a picture of him, a wish for his ribs to be broken, and prayers to Allah that his "fatty neck" be delivered to his enemies -- an apparent reference to decapitation. "Texas-based"? Let's re-base them in Gitmo. |

| #8 I'm confused, Anonymoose. Does one keep the extra 4WDs in the trunk of the Mercedes, or lashed to the roof, when driving Hell's Trail? In the trunk could be considered "concealed carry", I'm thinking. |

| #7 Raptor's point was that if you are willing to carry openly, you don't need any permit here. Of course, there are lots of |

| #6 raptor: Actually, you *do* need a permit for concealed carry. It is different from unconcealed carry. http://www.azccw.com/ . There are many twists and turns, though. For example, you can keep a loaded gun in your glove box or front/back seat if it is in a buckle holster, not a snap or velcro holster. And, you can have all sorts of weapons in your vehicle if the ammo is stored in the trunk. There are certain restricted areas, such as Mill Avenue in Tempe, where concealed or unconcealed weapons are prohibited--except if you have a "court-order carry"--basically a judge has given you an official order that you *must* carry in public, but they are few and far between. Last but not least, if you are on the Barry Goldwater military reservation near Yuma, and have a permit to travel the Hell's Trail route, you must be armed with a minimum of a handgun and a high-powered rifle (drug-smuggling route)(along with two 4WD vehicles and a medium-range radio transmitter, etc. It is a harsh place). |

| #5 One of the good things about Arizona is you do not have to have a concealed carry permit.As long as your fire arm is in plain,visable sight you can carry.This means you can strap your Colt to your waist and walk down the street,I for one would be very reluctant to mess with someone with a .45 straped to thier waist. |

| #4 I hope the authorities will do what they should be doing in this case. As we've already learned the hard way, death threats from these people must be taken very seriously. |

| #3 I would also like to note that New Mexico, while otherwise rather liberal in character, has no restrictions on gun ownership. I would encourage him to obtain a concealed-carry permit, training, and possession of a firearm if he already does not have one. |

| #2 Except the MSM will give their allies cover by blaming any murders and decapitations on 'robbers' or any common criminal - see the incident in Jersey. I wish this guy all the luck. He is literally risking his life to shine the light on these islamists. He would be a true martyr. |

| #1 Education by Murder I am afraid is the only way that Americans will wake to the dangers of the muslim fifth column. |
