"Happy Festivus, kufrs!"
CHICAGO - A man was arrested Friday by federal agents on charges of planning to set off hand grenades in garbage cans at a shopping mall. Derrick Shareef, 22, of Rockford, was arrested when he met with an undercover agent in a parking lot to trade a set of stereo speakers for four hand grenades and a handgun. (!) Federal officials said he planned to set off four hand grenades in garbage cans at the CherryVale shopping mall in Rockford, about 90 miles northwest of Chicago. He was charged with one count of attempting to damage or destroy a building by fire or explosion and one count of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction. Federal officials said that in September, Shareef became acquainted with a witness who was cooperating with the FBI and confided to him that he wanted to commit acts of "violent jihad," as well as other crimes.

#20  Whatever happened to summary execution? George Washington was ready to do it to Benedict Arnold, I think it reasonable to think in olden better days this douche bag would be swinging by now.

#19  What is this stuff about niggers? Is he just deranged or is someone at the mosque equating blacks with Jews?

More than likely a derisive broadbrush euphemism for people of zero worth. Much like how the word "nigger" is used in black on black conversation.

#18  I probably would have eventually ended up just stabbing the shit outta some Jews or something. Just stabbing them niggers with a steak knife. Dude, I ainÂ’t gonna lie. Because during that war with Hezbollah, man, I had already started to look at synagogues out here and in the DeKalb area and everything. I was looking at synagogues, I was doing MapQuest.... One of them was down the block from the masjid [mosque], I knew that they do their thing on Saturdays, right.

What is this stuff about niggers? Is he just deranged or is someone at the mosque equating blacks with Jews?

#16  I grew up not far from Rockford and I know this mall well. It's fairly small and not exactly what I'd call a prime target, but then the guy is obviously an idiot - speakers for hand grenades? WTF

#13  Federal agents know their biz, I don't, but I hope someone has an eye on Broadway in Rockford. A Louis Farrakhan office sprang up there in the last couple of years.

#12  Let's see how the MSM is reporting this on the 'net right now

As of 1:44pm CST...

Nothing on CNN except breaking news on "Republicans negligient in page scandal"

MSNBC, same thing, page scandal, is breaking news. One sentence link to the side saying "Alleged Ill. terror plot foiled"

ABC News, "Breaking News:HOUSE ETHICS COMMITTEE FINDINGS ON EX-REP. MARK FOLEY'S IMPROPER CONTACT WITH PAGES: 'WILLFULLY IGNORANT' BUT NO RULES BROKEN" Small line in the side panel below: "Feds Foil Possible Terror Plot on Chicago-Area Mall"

NPR... I'm not even going to bother and I'm not clicking on CBS and giving them the web hit.

#11  Need to stir up Rockford's "Arkansas" constituency-red staters living on the frozen prairie. Sure they'd like to treat him and his pals to some good ol boy dental work.

#10  From a news report quoted at LGF:

The man arrested Friday is considered a lone operator without ties to any known terrorist organization, law enforcement sources said.

This shit has got to end. The man is a Muslim with ties to a known terorist organization called ISLAM. This isn't sudden jihad syndrome, it's part of Islam's intention of killing enough kufrs whereby they capitulate to sharia law. The is Islam's sole reason for being, to install itself as supreme over all other cultures, people and faiths.

The failure of our politicians to recognize or admit this will one day be regarded as a criminal act.

#7  He'll prolly end up with his own special area at the mall when all is said and done. A special place for "prayers".

#5  Step One: Trade stereos for pineapples and a rod.

Step Two: Place in trash cans at mall, detonate.

Step Three: ????

Step Four: Profit! (or maybe Prophet!)
