South Park Now the Target ????

From our Friends at the ADL....Hat has resonated to the cartoon parity South park and looks who is responsible for spreading their HATE filled message!

Updated: April 26, 2010

An online blogger who has targeted the creators of South Park for satirizing issues surrounding the depiction of the Prophet Muhammad, has distributed jihadist materials and promoted violence against non-Muslims through a variety of online platforms for at least a year.

Abu Talhah Al-Amrikee, the username of the blogger who identified himself as Zachary A. Chesser in January, publicizes terrorist propaganda, endorses suicide attacks and espouses hatred against Jews, Israel and Shi'a Muslims through a variety of Web sites, blogs and social networking sites.

"The jihad movement has moved from the mountains and caves to the bedrooms of every major city around the world," Chesser wrote in a March 2010 post to the Web site of Revolution Muslim (RM), a fringe anti-Semitic Muslim organization that justifies terrorist attacks and other forms of violence against non-Muslims. Chesser appears to be an emerging member of the group.

On April 15, the morning after the episode of South Park aired, Chesser made his first comment about the program on his Twitter feed. "May Allah kill Matt Stone and Trey Parker and burn them in Hell for all eternity. They insult our prophets Muhammad, Jesus, and Moses..."  

 

Chesser posted a similar entry to his Mujahid Blog on the same day (the post was later added to the RM Web site). The post included a picture of the assassination of Dutch filmmaker Theo Van Gogh by a Muslim extremist in 2004 with the caption: "Theo Van Gogh – Have Matt Stone And Trey Parker Forgotten This?" In the post, Chesser provided the address to Stone and Parker's offices, telling readers to "contact them" or "pay Comedy Central…a visit." Chesser also noted: "We have to warn Matt and Trey that what they are doing is stupid and they will probably wind up like Theo Van Gogh if they do air this show. This is not a threat, but a warning of the reality of what will likely happen to them." 

On April 18, Chesser posted a comment to Revolution Muslim's Web site, calling on supporters to help in the "defense of the Prophet campaign." The post included a purported lecture of Anwar al-Awlaki, a U.S. born Muslim cleric living in Yemen who distributes radical sermons online, retelling a story about a Jewish leader who was assassinated for defaming the Prophet during the 7^th century. The post ends with the message by Revolution Muslim: "Join us in this campaign to let Matt Stone & Trey Parker know that…the dust will never settle down."

Reader comments in response to Chesser's recent posts include threatening language. For example, "I wish i [sic] could slit their throats with a rusty knife,so [sic] it be more painful...." and, "So the options we have to deal with these two kafirs… Killing and annihilating them… Crucifying them… Cutting off from opposite sides their hands and feet with axes."

Chesser, who described himself as a "Muslim revert" and former student at George Mason University, reportedly lives in Centreville, Virginia with his mother, brother, wife and son. His wife, who goes by the online username Umm Talhah, commented on the recent South Park controversy on Facebook by saying "may Allah awj humiliate them THE SOUTH PARK CREATURES..."

Chesser's online history includes numerous posts to a variety of blogs, Web sites and social networking sites. Among them is the Revolution Muslim (RM) Web site, on which Chesser is a contributor and has posted jihadist propaganda. For example, after the March 2010 subway bombings in Moscow, which killed at least 40 people and wounded 60 others, Chesser praised the two female suicide bombers. 

During an online discussion run by RM in February 2010, Chesser wrote: "May Allah blow up the Jews and the Rawaafidh [shi'a]." Chesser, who appears to be an emerging member of the group, has indicated that he is seeking people to help him start a RM chapter in D.C., closer to his apparent home in Virginia. In an email reportedly sent to Foxnews, Chesser wrote that he writes for RM to raise awareness of "key Islamic beliefs." He said in the email that "peace come[s] with the following conditions: a complete withdrawal of non-Muslim forces from Muslim lands, an ending of the propping up of the apartheid regime of Israel…" Chesser also warned, "If you kill us, then we kill you." 

Chesser has also posted on a Web site run by Samir Khan, a North Carolina-based blogger who also distributes jihadist propaganda.

In addition to extremist sites, Chesser uses mainstream social networking sites, like Facebook and YouTube, to post many of his comments and materials. In April 2010, administrators disabled his Facebook account, according to his wife.

The following is a sampling of Chesser's recent posts on a variety of sites:

The Mujahid Blog

Chesser's Mujahid Blog, "dedicated to those who give their lives for this religion," includes both original materials as well as reposts of various terrorist propaganda.

In a March 21, 2010, post titled "Counter Counter Terrorism #1," Chesser gives instructions on how to counter counterterrorism efforts and proposes advertising the successes of the mujahideen with a "clear bias." He suggests using terms like "5 Western pigs sent to Hellfire in sha'a Allah," when talking about non-Muslims who have been killed. 

The Mujahid blog, operated by wordpress, also has a forum that allows others to post materials. In a January 25, 2010, post to this forum, he identified his full name as "Zachary A Chesser." He also said, "I am a revert to Islam and I was a student at George Mason University. Feel free to go to GMU's [Muslim Student Association] page on facebook and ask them about me if you are seriously worried about that."

The Mujahid blog appears to have been suspended by wordpress on April 22 for violation of terms of service.

Youtube Jihad Blog

The Youtube Jihad Blog consists of Chesser and five other contributors. The contributors – who post videos containing fatwas, lectures, nasheeds (Islamic songs) and other materials – also operate YouTube channels that include the same videos. One video posted by Chesser on February 22, 2010, titled "America Tuta Fika," shows several militants pointing their guns at the screen as Chesser sings "America, America, America here we come, we come to please our lord, and jihad is all we know." 

YouTube – Al Quran Wa Al-Ahadeeth Channel

Chesser maintains a YouTube channel under the name "Al Quran wa al-Ahadeeth," where he posts numerous terrorist videos, sometimes shortly after they are released elsewhere. In addition, he posts English translations of Arabic sermons. One of these sermons, titled "The Permissibility of Self-Sacrificial Operations" by Shaykh Yousuf Al-Uyayri, tells Muslims that in order to expel Jews from Israel, "the best treatment and the greatest medicine that we apply to the brothers of monkeys and pigs (i.e. the Jews) is that we perform these martyrdom operations."

Chesser also posts comments to other YouTube channels. In April 2009, in response to a video of a speech by Israeli diplomat Mark Regev, he commented: "Ya Allaah! Destroy this vile nation… we will crush these vile devils like bugs."

Facebook

Chesser's Facebook profile, which was disabled in April, included many of the same videos, sermons and other materials that he posts on his blogs. For example, Chesser posted dozens of sermons by Anwar al-Awlaki. His wife reposted the majority of these materials on her Facebook profile as well.

Twitter

Chesser has two Twitter accounts, one under the name Mujahid Blog and the other under his alias Abu Talhah. He uses his accounts to direct followers to the materials he posts elsewhere online and to make other statements. On March 22, 2010 he tweeted: "United States still the slave of Israel. Hillary Clinton declares relationship with the genocidal regime 'Rock solid.'"

Scribd

Chesser's scribd account is filled with various extremist documents. One document that he wrote in conjunction with Younus Abdullah Muhammad, a spokesperson for Revolution Muslim, is an article that refutes a West Point study claiming that Al Qaeda kills mostly Muslims.

TRT's Comments........First Thanks to the ADL for pointing out this threat and covering the topic!  Next..


Chesser seems to be following in the likes of Jihad Jane and others that have materialized lately to claim monetary funds aimed at attacking the Dutch Cartoonist they felt "insulted Islam".  These HATERS, through their mindless escapades, are they really taking up a torch for Islam or is this just Jihadi Cool????....How is it that Extremists like him and others may INSULT the US and our constituents however when Islam wears the clock of Humor...they (Islamists) what everyone dead????

From Threats Watch

Its Happening in Arizona

The very recent passage of Arizona Senate Bill 1070 (SB1070) is raising the emotions of pro-immigration activists because of the appearance of profiling. Yet, without being a legal or Constitutional expert, it seems that the bill is an exercise of state's rights to enforce a law that is also part of the federal law enforcement tool kit. This comes under the premise of the exercise of concurrent powers and whether the States have any rights over the federal government when it comes to immigration.
Today, the Governor of Arizona faces a deadline on what could be a watershed piece of legislation that would make it a crime under state law to be in the country illegally

A Saturday deadline for Brewer, a Republican, to act on the bill was set on Monday when the legislation arrived on her desk. She can sign, veto or allow it to become law without her signature. Civil rights activists have said the bill would lead to racial profiling and deter Hispanics from reporting crimes. Hundreds of Hispanics protested the legislation at the State Capitol complex on Thursday.

It has often been argued that among the roles of the federal government are that of taxation, building highways and the defense of the Nation. It also has the power to protect the security of our international borders and the control of immigration into the United States. But the question now being raised by the passage of this bill in Arizona, a border state in the 21st Century sense of the term, is whether the States now have the right to identify and prosecute (and have deported) any person found to be an illegal immigrant. The bill enables Arizona police to detain anyone on "reasonable suspicion" if they aren't carrying " valid drivers' license or other form of identity papers"
Some see this as racial profiling while others see this as a way to force the issue of enforcement of existing measures to stem the flow of illegal immigration. It would be very interesting to see Governor Brewer sign the bill into law and watch the Constitutional challenges as they go to the Supreme Court, and as other states consider following suit. So much depends on where you live. If you're in a border state and you have at least the illusion that illegal immigrants are committing crimes in addition to being in this country illegally, Arizona Senate Bill 1070 (SB1070) is not only an issue of public safety, but also one of State's Rights.

Afghan Talibans top leaders

The Afghan Taliban's top leaders

 

By Bill Roggio

Over the past two months, Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence agency has captured four senior leaders of the Afghan Taliban, including Mullah Omar's deputy who served as the head of the top shura, the leader of a regional shura, and two shadow governors. These captures, combined with the US-led offensive in Helmand which will expand into Kandahar and the Afghan East later this year, have given rise to reports of the potential collapse of the group.
The Afghan Taliban's leadership council and its regional shuras and committees have weathered the capture and death of senior leaders in the past. The Taliban have a deep bench of leaders with experience ranging back to the rise of the Taliban movement in the early 1990s. On prior occasions, younger commanders are known to have stepped into the place of killed or captured leaders. It remains to be seen if the sustained US offensive and possible future detentions in Pakistan will grind down the Taliban's leadership cadre.
This report looks at the Afghan Taliban's top leadership council, the Quetta shura; its four regional military councils; the 10 committees; and existing as well as killed or captured members of the shura. Because the Taliban is a deliberately opaque movement, it is difficult to gain real-time intelligence on the structure of the Taliban command. The following information on the structure of the Taliban and its key leaders has been gathered from press reports and studies on the Taliban, and from discussions with US intelligence officials.
The Afghan Taliban leadership council
The Afghan Taliban leadership council, or rahbari shura, is often referred to as the Quetta Shura, as it is based in the Pakistani city of the same name. The Quetta Shura provides direction to the four regional military shuras and the 10 committees. The Quetta Shura is ultimately led by Mullah Mohammed Omar, the ‘leader of the faithful,’ who is the top leader of the Taliban, but Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar directed the Quetta Shura. Baradar was the Afghan Taliban's second in command and the group's operational commander who was detained in Karachi sometime in January or February 2010. Over the past several months, members of the Quetta Shura have been reported to be relocating to Karachi to avoid potential US airstrikes.
Regional military shuras
The Afghan Taliban have assigned regional military shuras for four major geographical areas of operations. The shuras are named after the areas in which they are based; note that all four of the regional military shuras are based in Pakistan (Quetta, Peshawar, Miramshah in North Waziristan, and Gerdi Jangal in Baluchistan).
• Quetta Regional Military Shura - This military shura, like the Taliban’s top council, takes its name from its base in the city of Quetta in Pakistan’s Baluchistan province. The Quetta Regional Military Shura directs activities in southern and western Afghanistan. It is currently led by Hafez Majid.
• Peshawar Regional Military Shura - Based in the city of Peshawar in Pakistan’s Northwest Frontier Province, the Peshawar Regional Military Shura directs activities in eastern and northeastern Afghanistan. Abdul Latif Mansur is thought to currently lead the Peshawar shura. It was led by Maulvi Abdul Kabir before his arrest in Pakistan in February 2010.
• Miramshah Regional Military Shura - Based in Miramshah, the main town in Pakistan’s Taliban-controlled tribal agency of North Waziristan, the Miramshah Regional Military Shura directs activities in southeastern Afghanistan, including the provinces of Paktika, Paktia, Khost, Logar, and Wardak. The Miramshah Regional Military Shura is led by Siraj Haqqani, the son of Jalaluddin Haqqani.
• Gerdi Jangal Regional Military Shura - Based in the Gerdi Jangal refugee camp in Baluchistan, this regional military shura focuses exclusively on Helmand Province and perhaps Nimroz province. The Gerdi Jangal Regional Military Shura is led by Mullah Adbul Zakir.
The 10 committees
Along with the four regional commands, the Afghan Taliban have 10 committees which address specific issues. Some of the members of the committees are also members of the Quetta Shura.
• Military - This committee was led by Mullah Nasir, the former shadow governor of Ghazni. It is not clear who currently leads the military committee.
• Ulema Council - Also known as the religious committee, it is currently led by Mawlawi Abdul Ali.
• Finance - This committee is led by Abdulhai Mutma’in.
• Political Affairs - This committee is reported to have been led by Maulvi Abdul Kabir before his capture in February 2010. His replacement is not yet known.
• Culture and Information - This committee, which deals with Taliban propaganda, is led by Amir Khan Mutaqqi.
• Interior Affairs - This committee is led by Mullah Abdul Jalil.
• Prisoners and Refugees - This committee is led by Mawlawi Wali Jan.
• Education - This committee is led by Mawlawi Ahmad Jan, however it may have been disbanded.
• Recruitment - This committee was led by Mullah Ustad Mohammad Yasir before he was arrested in Peshawar in January 2009. Yasir’s replacement is not known.
• Repatriation Committee - This committee is led Mullah Abdul Zakir.

Suicide bombers

Near-simultaneous suicide car bombs hit 3 embassies in Baghdad

IRAQ/TERRORISM: IRANIAN, EGYPTIAN AND GERMAN EMBASSIES HIT BY NEAR-SIMULTANEOUS SUICIDE CAR BOMB ATTACKS IN BAGHDAD.

The Iranian, Egyptian and German embassies in Baghdad have been targeted in a series of almost simultaneous, suicide car bombs which have left 30 dead and around 170 more injured, according to Iraqi sources.

One of the targets is believed to be the official residence of the German embassy. The Iranian Charge d’Affairs, Kazem Sheikh Forutan, said that no there were no casualties among Iranian embassy staff at the Mansour site, adding “fortunately none of the Iranian embassy employees have been hurt, but the embassy building is heavily damaged,”. There were also believed to be no casualties among the Egyptian embassy staff. It is not yet known whether any of the German embassy’s staff were among the casualties. The Headquarters of Ahmad Chalabi’s pro-Iranian party, the Iraqi National Congress (INC), was also caught in the blast of one attack close to the Syrian embassy. It is believed that a large number of security guards and employees of the INC were among the casualties.
