Cromitie's Parents in Afghanistan? Mom: "My Foot"

2009-05-23

When Cromitie -- a lifelong jailbird -- last got out of prison two years ago, he similarly told stunned relatives in The Bronx that he had converted to Islam.

He announced that his new name was Abdul Rahman and that he was now living in Newburgh.

"He told me that he was a Muslim and that didn't eat pork anymore, and I told him, 'Get out of here!' " said his surprised mother, Adela Cromitie. "Why would he do something like that? He was raised Episcopalian."

He was educated at Rikers ...

According to a criminal complaint, Cromitie told an FBI informant "that his parents lived in Afghanistan prior to his birth and that, because of his connection to Afghanistan, he was upset about the war there."

But Adela was shocked by that claim. "I don't why he'd say that. We have no ties to the Middle East or anything like that," she said. "We are from the South, although he has some relatives in Barbados."

There, you see? Barbados begins with B, Afghanistan begins with A -- the connection is obvious!

#6 I feel sorry for those
Egyptians who come 12000 miles to get away from the crazies only to go pray & then see the black Muslim felons shouting & showing their hatred & ignorance.

#5 " He was raised Episcopalian."

Ah, another strong faithful product of the Archdruid's lefty stand-for-nothing "church".

#4 I think it's a certain software program attempting to run on a platform without the necessary horsepower.

#2 Well, as more and more "infidels" are killed, it becomes harder and harder for a convert to prove he is a "true believer." Whattasurprise...

#1 I GOT IT, sometimes I'm a bit slow but I've finally got it, the lure of Islamic conversions in prison is the conviction, that NOW your murderous actions are justified, and it's all right (Hell encouraged) to murder NOW that you're converted.

Weak minds the lot of them, fools and tools, now go kill with a clean conscience, GOD SAYS IT'S ALL RIGHT TO MURDER) As long as you only murder the folks we don't like.

I hate to say it, but the fighting forces have somewhat the same appeal, as GOD IS ON OUR SIDE is a common theme.

I say PROVE IT Which probably makes me one of the targeted, can't have any doubt or dissent among GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE.
