Many of you may have seen my letter I wrote to Kenneth Ballen in response to his article that he published in the Christian Science Monitor. You can read my letter here. I was responding to this article in the Christian Science Monitor. Today I received a letter back from Kenneth Ballen. Here is what he had to say about my letter:

"Thanks for your note and comments. Most of your concerns can be addressed by
looking at our actual polling data. Thanks for your feedback."

Well I took a look at this polling data and you can as well at his organizations website. Clearly none of this polling data answers any of the questions I put forward. I wrote Ballen a response to the letter he wrote me.

Kenneth Ballen,
Thanks for your response I am looking at your polls. Maybe I am missing it but I don't see anywhere you asked any questions at all about Hezbollah or Hamas. Neither did you ask any specific questions about the attacks on the Pentagon. Are they in your polls and I am just missing it? I also wanted to know if you agree with my analysis that Christian and Jewish terrorism is no where near being equal to the terrorism committed in the name of Islam? Further I am curious if you have located any Muslim organizations in America other than the Free Muslim Coalition that state that Hezbollah and Hamas are terrorist organizations? I know in your poll in Indonesia you state "For the first time ever in a Muslim nation since 9/11, support for Osama Bin Laden has dropped significantly (58% favorable to just 23%)." Thats great but 23% is still alot of people second of all just because they don't support Bin Laden doesn't mean they don't support the ideology of jihad warfare against unbelievers. Bin Laden is not the only one that believes the Quran justifies warfare. So just because they don't like Bin Laden doesn't really mean anything.

Here are some question suggestions I have for your next poll. I would love for you to ask these questions and I believe many Americans would be very interested in the results.
Here are some of the questions:

Do you believe that jihad warfare is mandated on all Muslims in order to spread Islamic rule?

Do you consider the attacks on the Pentagon on September 11 to be a terrorist act?

Do you consider Hezbollah and Hamas to be terrorist organizations?

Do you believe that woman should have equal rights with men in regards to inheritance and court testimony?

Would you accept the laws of a non-Muslim government?

Would you like to see Islamic law spread over the whole world?

These are just a few questions that I would love to hear the answers to from Muslims in the countries you poll. I believe the American people would be interested in hearing these answers as well. So my question is would you ask these questions? I believe I already know the poll results of these polls if you did them. But why not do it just to see what the results would be. I am also curious to hear what you think about the Poll I quoted from in Canada that showed 87,000 Muslims believe beheading of the Prime Minister would be justified. Do you believe that is troubling?
Thank you for your time and God bless.

Hopefully he responds I will keep you all updated...
Also you can email Ballen at info@terrorfreetomorrow.org to let him know you would like him to ask these questions as well.

It is also noteworthy to mention that Kenneth Ballens polls have been quoted by President Bush and Bill Cliton. See here.

Here is a bit more information on Ken Ballen.

Ken Ballen has spent more than 20 years on the frontlines in law enforcement, intelligence oversight, crime prevention and congressional investigations. As a federal prosecutor, Ken successfully prosecuted international terrorists. Ken also prosecuted major figures in organized crime, international narcotics and one of the first cases in the United States involving illegal financing for Middle Eastern terrorists. Ken served as Counsel to the Iran-Contra Committee under Chairman Lee Hamilton, where he was the lead investigator for the intelligence and military aspects of U.S. support for the Contra war in Central America, and responsible for questioning key witnesses during the nationally televised hearings. Among other assignments on Capitol Hill, Ken also served as Chief Counsel to a bi-partisan Senate special investigative committee with Senator John McCain; and as Chief Counsel to the House Steering and Policy Committee for its Chairman Speaker Thomas Foley, where he directed policy initiatives on crime prevention and security, intelligence oversight and select national security matters for the U.S. House of Representatives. Ken received his J.D. with honors in 1980 from Columbia Law School, where he was an Editor of the Columbia Law Review. He is also an honors graduate of The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, obtaining a M.A. in International Affairs. He received his B.A. summa cum laude from Tufts University in 1977.

I know this story is a bit old now but I found it important to mention it. Apparently the ACLU doesnt feel the United States has a right to deny entry to terrorist supporters. Have a read:

NEW YORK (AP) - A civil rights group asked a judge Friday to find it unconstitutional for the federal government to exclude a prominent Muslim scholar or anyone else from the United States on the grounds that they may have endorsed or espoused terrorism. The American Civil Liberties Union filed the papers attacking the policy in U.S. District Court in Manhattan. The group included in its submissions a written declaration in which the scholar, Tariq Ramadan, said he has always “opposed terrorism not only through my words but also through my actions.”

The ACLU said schools and organizations who want to invite Ramadan and others into the United States are concerned about what is known as the ideological exclusion provision.

It said an entry in the State Department’s Foreign Affairs Manual says that the provision is directed at those who have voiced “irresponsible expressions of opinion.”

A reader of my blog has made me aware of this professor Dr. Hassan El-Najjar Of Dalton State. I want to make it clear I am not throwing this guy under the bus. I am not really sure if he is anything like Julio Pino from Kent State. I do want to find out what kind of works that Hassan El-Najjar has done. I want to learn more about his viewpoints on the Middle East and terrorism.

First thing I found was this blogger who points out that El-Najjar runs this website. http://www.aljazeerah.info/. I haven't had much time to research the website yet but it is definitely anti-Israel and even has this picture praising Yasser Arafat:







I also found this at Daniel Pipes Campus Watch. This is what El-Najjar said when asked questions about his website "I have an agreement with Dalton College not to talk to the news media." You should read this whole article at Campus Watch it is a good read.

Further it seems that El-Najjar wants to blame the zionist Jews for all the worlds problems. Here in this article he says "Zionism is the political ideology that has created the state of Israel and has dominated its government ever since. It has called for the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine on the expense of the Palestinian people."

MORE TO COME ON THIS....

Anyone with more information please contact me.

(Thanks to Pam for the picture)
Atlas Shurgs has taken this great video of the debate between Spencer and D'Souza.
Spencer has also covered this debate in great detail at Jihad Watch here and here. You can also listen to a radio debate between these two here.
Heres the video of the debate:

PART 1



PART 2



PAM INTERVIEWS ROBERT SPENCER


If you not aware of Dinesh D'Souza and his book The Enemy at Home have a read here.

I know I have been spending alot of time on the Julio Pino story but I wanted to mention this as well.

I came across this website the other day: http://kalamullah.com/index.html
It is supposed to be a website with many lectures by many imams. Well I have found some interesting things on this site First over in the video section here they have a few videos by Sheikh Feiz. If you take a look you may recognize him from the Dispatches: Undercover Mosque from Britain. He was shown teaching of martyrdom and jihad.

Also there is this film which glorifies the terrorist Khattab

I had previously noted that there was a profile on myspace glorifying this man as well here: http://www.myspace.com/hattab_sablja_islama

There are many things within the lectures. I have listened to a few of them. Most of them want to blame everything on the West and the Western way of life. One that was interesting was this one by Tawfique Chowdhury called "Vicotry Is Coming" where he speaks of Muslims taking over the world.






Also a WHOIS query of the site shows that this website is hosted in California. Here is the information about this website:

I am guessing this site is run by someone by the name of Nisar Khan?
If anyone else can figure anything else out about this let me know. I will continue looking into this site...

UPDATE 03/01/09: Julio is apparently now calling for Hamas to be removed from Europes terrorist organization list. SEE HERE


LGF
had a story about a professor at Kent State in Ohio that openly supports terrorism. He shows this clearly at his blog here.

Also found this tool on the Kent State website

Here is a picture of him:

You can also download a PDF file of where this guy has taught and a list of articles he has written here

I also discovered this blogger that linked to a petition to try to get this guy out of the college.

Julio Pino is also named at this blog saying that a Cleveland imam named Fawaz Damra was wrongfully branded a terrorist. Fawaz Damra was deported for having ties to terrorist groups. read here

More on him at Discover The Network


Here you read when asked about his blog promoting jihad he said "no comment".

Also in an article he wrote a few years ago he praised suicide bombers. Read here


This blogger claims that Julio Pino is working for the FBI. I posted a message to the author of the blog where he got this information. Maybe it is true but I have yet to see evidence.

According to Free Republic You can contact Julio Pina at jpino@kent.edu

A Poster at Jihad Watch said the school has been contacted and they will be making a statement shortly.

Kent State University Contact information can be found here

I have asked Kent State University students if they are aware of this and if they have any further information here on myspace.

UPDATE 10/28/07 11:00 PM
Pino is also listed on this Palestinian resistance website as helping to contribute.

Here a few articles that Pino was wrote on Brazil and Fidel Castro here.

This blogger in a post back from 2002 discusses Pino's Editoral he wrote about sympathizing with a suicide bomber. Heres is an excerpt from this bloggers page:
im Treacher is one hilarious, twisted fellow. I referenced Nelly Furtado’s “I’m Like a Bird” yesterday in my attack on suicide bombing-celebrant Julio Pino, a professor at nearby Kent State. Thus inspired, Jim came up with new lyrics more appropriate to teenage girls blowing themselves up:

I'm like a bomb
I'll only blast away-ee-ay
I don't know where my head is
I don't know where my heart is
(And baby, all I need is to do is 'splode this)
I'm like a bomb
I'll only blast away-ee-ay
I don't know where my leg is
I don't know where my arm is

UPDATE 11:30PM
(Hat tip: Agent99Mom)
Apparently Julio Pino also goes by Assad Pino. A google search of the name Assad Pino brings up some more goods...

He wrote this letter showing his support for Ward Churchill. Here are a few excerpts from the letter:

"Middle Eastern Studies programs across the country are under federal scrutiny to ensure no unpatriotic — meaning anti-Israel — views are expressed in academia. U.S. colleges have barred thousands of applicants from the Arab world, and Professor Daniel Pipes maintains his “Campus Watch” online dossier, encouraging students to snitch on instructors who refuse to toe the party line: “How much do you love the American empire?” (No, I am not on Daniel’s list, but I have made the Anti-Defamation League’s roll of honor. Thank you, ADL President Abraham Foxman.)"
[..]
"Those who claim to be horrified by Churchill’s remarks should ponder that more than 500,000 Iraqi children were killed by President William Clinton and his Madame Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, who boasted about it on national television. In a moral universe and university, it would not be Ward Churchill being demonized, but the cocaine cowboy, George W. Bush, who has added an extra 100,000 corpses to the pile of brown colored corpses, collected like Indian heads in the Old West.

In an America rapidly descending toward Christian fascism, we need more Ward Churchills."


Back in April 2000 Pino wrote this. I noticed the title of this page was "Marxism mailing list". Here is an excerpt from this letter he wrote:

"the students at Kent State were killed for exercising their
constitutional rights of free speech and assembly.The government targetted
them, literally, for protesting a savage war abroad and racism at home. No
trials, no appeals. This is the connecting issue Mumia will no doubt
address when he speaks to us, from death row, on May 4, 2000."
[...]
"Mummia Abu-Jamal is a most appropriate choice to speak at this year's
May 4 conmmemoration, because he and the four martyred students both
symbolize how this system deals with political dissent.
Mumia was at one time the Minister of Information of the Black Panther
Party in Philadelphia. The members of this organization were targeted for
extermination by the federal government through the FBI's COINTELPRO
program."

Mumia Abu-Jamal that he is talking about is a convicted cop killer. See here.

Here is another letter that he wrote in the "Marxism Mailing List"

Pino also had this to say about President Bush on an anti-war website:

"President Bush has made it clear that this war against Iraq will not only be a map-making venture but a crusade against Islam, said Pino, associate history professor."

Here is a speech he gave at a rally in Cleveland about impeaching Bush here

UPDATE 03/01/07 7:35AM
I was just informed that the author of the blog that claimed Pino was working for the FBI was just trying to get under his skin. He says he knows the blogger that wrote this and he writes fake news. The validity of this claim I am not sure.

I emailed the administration of Kent State this morning to see if they can shed some light on this situation... DEVELOPING..

UPDATE 03/01/07 4:21 PM
Kent State University has issued s public statement about Pino here. Here is what they said: "We have no evidence that this Web site is authored by Pino. There is no connection between this site and the university."
To me that says absolutely nothing other than they are saying they don't know anything about this. The question I have is has the University even ask Pino about the things I have pointed out here? They also said there is no connection between the university and the site that is claimed to be Pinos blog. Thats not the question. The question is does Pino run the blog? Do all of the letters and articles that I have documented above indeed belong to Julio Pino of Kent State? Those are the questions that I and many others would like to know the answers to. If this blog does not belong to Pinto why doesn't he go public and say it is not him? I know if someone was trying to act like they were me online and were posting terrorist things I would go public immediately. I would make it clear to the world that this blog was not me. Why doesn't Pino do that? I really hope someone anyone in the media will look into this further. I hope that maybe someone can get him on the Radio or television to comment on the things I have outlined above. I would really like to know if these things are him. I think it is clear that many of them are him. Especially the article he wrote sympathizing with a suicide bomber. I urge all of you please contact anyone you know in the media to get them on this story. Anyone from Glenn Beck to your local media sources on the radio. Pino needs to be asked about these things there is no way around it.

Here is another email that Julio sent on the "Marxism Mailing List" here from 2000. Here is what he said:
"On this hapy note, I bid au revoir to the Marxism List. I'm off to Babylon, AKA Miami,
FLA, to present a paper on Cuba (and inflame the gusanos) and collect money for the
children of Palestine from the local Muslims(and inflame the Zionists).
Julio Cesar

Julio Cesar Pino

This articles talks about Julio in the Class room. Read the whole article here
Here is one paragraph I want to point out:
"More disheartening, however, is Pino's behavior in the classroom. In his intro-level history class, Pino called on one of his Jewish students to give one of the class lectures on Judaism and Zionism. Taken aback by his request, the student nevertheless complied keeping in mind that her grade may have been at stake. Unexpectedly, Mr. Pino also invited a guest speaker to follow the young student's discussion on her religion. She was no match, however for the speaker, an expert in political science, Islam, and the conflict in the Middle East. All of this would seem harmless enough were it a private university where students know what they are getting themselves into when they choose to attend. At a state university, though, it is hard to know if your professor is going to single you out based on your religion in a required general history class. Not many Israeli professors in American universities are using their classrooms in state-funded universities as open forums for voicing their own political views. If they are, it is likely to argue for divestment from Israel."
(hat tip:Agent99mom)

Here Pino is at a anti-war rally in Cleavland. The source of this image is here






The second article on this page Pino talks about his conversion to Islam.

Catie has left a comment telling me that she has been trying to draw peoples attention to this for sometime over at her blog but no one is paying attention and she doesnt know why. I agree fully. Over at her blog she writes about how her and others have been trying to draw attention to this. Read here. A search for Pino on her blog reveals she has been writing about this for sometime. As you can see here.

Catie also confirmed that indeed the claim that Pino was working for the FBI is fake and merely a joke. She left a comment about this here.

UPDATE 5:00 PM
This story Kent State says ""The opinions on the Web site ("Global War") do not represent the university," the statement said. "We do not speak for Pino nor defend any views he might have, and he does not speak for Kent State, his department or other faculty."
In other words they dont really have any idea weather the blog is really run by Pino or not. They also make it clear they do not defend the views of Pino. hmmm..

MAJOR UPDATE:
This story shows PINO DID HAVE LINKS TO THIS BLOG! read it for yourself here is what it said:
"His department head, John Jameson, defended him as a good teacher and said the allegations in the story appeared to have been blown out of proportion.

He said Pino told him he provided news stories to the Web site but didn't accept any ownership of it."

I AM BEGGING SOMEONE OUT THERE IN THE MEDIA PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS!

This from Fox News
"When FOX News called Pino, he refused to confirm or deny that the Web site was his. He also refused to condemn the encouragement of holy war on the site, saying he would not comment on his political views."


UPDATE 7:00PM
Jawa Report is saying that Pino's blog has been hacked. It now redirects to http://defendamerica.mil/

UPDATE 9:00PM
Julio's Blog can still be accessed from the web archives here. That shows what the site looked like as of Feb 2006. You can take a look at all the archives of the site here.

A poster over at LGF linked to this from a Cleveland media source. The title is this "URGENT WARNING TO MUJAHIDEEN: AVOID JULIO PINO" It seems to be an article that warns Muslims to stay away from Pinos blog because he is working undercover for the FBI. RIGHT! Here at my blog we have already proved that he is not working for the FBI. As you can see from the date on the article it was posted yesterday when all of this started coming out about Pino.

The Kent State Univeristy paper is now covering the story here.
I have contacted them with the information that I have and have also left a comment on the page of the story.

UPDATE 10:45 PM
A local news station is asking for peoples opinion on the situation with Pino here. They also have a video report here

Mike Adams has an update to this story over at Townhall

UPDATE 11:00PM
HERE IS THE VIDEO FROM BILL OREILLY


OReilly brought up alot of good points about Pino but he never brought anything up about his blog or the fact that he is admitting publicly now that he contributed to the jihadist blog.

Here are some reviews that students gave Pino here.

From a Cleveland news website:
" Pino, reached at home Wednesday, said he was familiar with the extremist site and that comments, articles and information on it are compiled from many sources.

Pino, a Muslim convert, had no further comment."

I just visited http://global-war.bloghi.com/ it was not working earlier today but now it is back up and apparently there were some posts to the blog today.

I found this comment interesting from over at Atlas Shrugs:

I had a run-in with Professor Pino several years back when I emailed a response to one of his vile articles in the Kent Stater. Several days later (though I hadn't identified myself anywhere in the post) I received AT MY OFFICE a letter from Dr. Pino, with a picture of some asshole jihadist with the typical mask and AK. According to the FBI, Dr. Pino knows that doing this won't trigger any of its direct threat guidelines.

He also knows it is within the bounds of the First Amendment; even though the message and the manner of its delivery were clearly intended to be threatening.

So, here I am Dr. Pino. . . come get me:

John Huettner, Esq.
Cleveland, Ohio

UPDATE 03/02/07
You can still visit http://global-war.bloghi.com/
You must disable Java in your browser for it not to redirect you to the defense department website.

I believe this blogger had something to do with the fact that Pinos blog is redirecting now. He mentions that his blog has made a "block" on The Global War blog. Not to mention that a script on the Global War blog links to the domain of this blogger http://capnbob.us as you can see here.

UPDATE 5:22 PM
LGF had a second update on this story today. They linked to this story. In this story Pino was quoted as saying "I am not the issue" and "The issue is free speech."
So in other words Pino believes the fact that he praises a suicide bomber and takes part in a jihadist blog is not an issue? He believes it is his right to free speech to praise Bin Laden? How ridiculous. Does he really think people should over look all these things?

UPDATE 7:00PM
Apparently today Pino was on a local news channel saying that he is "a man of peace".

MAJOR UPDATE:
On this page you can find video of Pino from today when they interviewed him. If anyone can get a direct link to the video let me know.

LGF has a major update as well they have video here where Pino admits that he did post on the terrorist blog. I cant believe the school isnt going to do anything!

The schools newspaper also did a interview which can be seen here here

The schools paper also has further information on this here.

If any of the students are reading this please keep up the good work and keep looking into this.

You can read what John Gibson on Fox had to say about Julio Pino here.

National Review covered this story here.


The blog that Pino contributed to is offically down. http://global-war.bloghi.com/ If you wish to visit the blog you must visit it through the web archives here.

If you have anymore information on this story or other stories please contact me.

UPDATE 03/03/07 7:30 PM
In this article from 2004 Pino calls for a boycott of Caterpillar because Israel uses their bulldozers.

Check out this letter Pino wrote here is an excerpt from this letter:
"who would answer a question such as, "Do you now or have you ever supplied money or materials to a terrorist group?" (OK, I did do a benefit concert for Hezbollah once, but that was before they started lobbing missiles into Israel.)"
(Hat Tip: Agent99mom)

Agent99mom has another discovery here

UPDATE 03/03/07 10:00AM
Some interesting discussion over at this blog about Pino. The blog is run by a radio host in the Cleveland area its good to see that this is getting some coverage up there. He is also following this story closely here

MAJOR UPDATE:
Here is another email address that belongs to Julio Pino. assadulislam@hotmail.com (Hat tip: Cate) I found this post that directly connects the email address with Julio Pino. Julio used the screen name "Lovers for Angels" on his blog. I should have noted that earlier. Here is the blog post that links him to this email here
Here is part of what julio said on this page:
"Lover of Angels can be reached at the den of the Lion of Islam, assadulislam@hotmail.com. Actually, it's better than blog-chat, and easier for the FBI to track both of us. Conversation must meet Biblical-Quranic standards--- "no idle talk, no blasphemy, and "use only better language" with your correspondent."

"No, man. It's this "multiple wives make jihad illegal" hindu doo-doo that's illegal. God himself ordained polygamy, and jihad.
Jesus was a jihadi. Bye, have to say more prayers, including for you."

Heres another lovely comment made by Pino here
"Not until you swallow your mother's c*m, B*tch."

Heres another blogger that has more information on Pino. He has this email that was said to have been sent by Pino where he wrote a poem about 9/11. I am not sure of the authenticity of this claim yet. But here is the poem clainmed to be written by Pino.

"I live very close to Kent State and have communicated with Julio "Assad" Pino
This first email from him is an example of his poetry where he expresses his pleasure over the Twin Tower crash:
"Subject: Dem Wild Jihadi Boyz


767 Coming out of the sky

Won't you take me to Manhattan on a mid-morning ride?

We're on the move."

Working for a jihadi band.

Flying across the land,

Got no plans to land,

Working in a jihadi band.



Heard Mohammed Atta say, "Get packing, going somewhere,

C'mon shahab, let's get out of this room!

We're on the move.

Working for a jihadi band.

Flying across the land,

Got no plans to land,

Working in a jihadi band."



Listen to the radio,

Talk about the last shahada.

Someone got excited,

Called the Zion State Militia.

We're on the move.

Working for a jihadi band.

Flying across the land,

Got no plans to land,

Working in a jihadi band.



Working in a jihadi band.

Working in a jihadi band.

Won't you give the Sheik a hand?

'Cause we're working in a jihadi band.

Flying across the land,

Got no plans to land,

Working in a jihadi band."

There is also a letter on the same page that is said to be have written by Pino to a Vietnam war vet.

More information on the Poem I posted above at Free Republic

UPDATE 2:29PM
I found this article published today about the situation with Pino. Apparently Timothy Smith of the journalism department at Kent State believes that this is an issue of free speech and that Pino has the right to support terrorist and suicide bombers. Here is what Smith said in this article:
"Professors have an enormous amount of freedom when it comes to academic in terms of presenting information," Smith said. "People have a right to take opposition against the best interests of the U.S. government."
As I posted on the page of this article its one thing to be against the war its another to cheer for the terrorist.
I have contacted Tim Smith with the information that I have about Pino and encouraged him to look at it. You may also contact him here

I also found this very interesting from the article:
"Donald Ackerman is working a double major in history and political science at KSU. He is also in the university's Army ROTC program.

Last spring, Ackerman walked into one of Pino's history classes wearing his Army fatigues. Ackerman said Pino commented on his attire.

"He said, 'I don't know why they put you people in my class. It's not for compatibility's sake,'" Ackerman said. Ackerman walked out of Pino's History of Civilization II course this week when he said Pino refused to tell Ackerman if he had any affiliation with the Global War site."

UPDATE 03/06/07
Mike Adams has a major update to this story.

2. There is no evidence to suggest that Julio Pino has been engaged in pro-terrorist activity using Kent State resources.

Actually there is plenty. I have received hard evidence that Pino’s Kent State email address (jpino@kent.edu) has been used to disseminate his pro-Jihadist views. I also have evidence that Kent State equipment has been used in the activity. Because there is some possibility that the evidence has been tampered with I made arrangements – only about four hours ago - with FBI agents who will confiscate all evidence from my hard drive in order to make that determination. I’m Sorry Julio but I just had to get the counter-terrorism unit involved.

But, for the record, I do recognize that there may be some vast right-wing conspiracy to frame Pino for using Kent State resources in disseminating his pro-Jihadist writings. (Someone sent me a blue burqua with a white stain but I’m not touching that one).

UPDATE 03/09/07
(HAT TIP CATE)
Is Julio Pino back online?? Take a look here: http://thebase.bloghi.com/

UPDATE 03/11/07

My friend Chuck from over at the Global Conservative has emailed me to let me know he has continued in depth research on the Julio Pino story. Which I am following and will continue to do so because I believe this story is very important and should not die. You can read all of the research that I did on Julio Pino here.
I will continue to update this story as more information comes to me.

Chuck has much much more on all this over at his site. I recommend everyone read his writings on this story:

UPDATE 03/16/07

Yesterday LGF wrote about an incident in Missouri where an international student threatened the school with anthrax and a bomb. The report said he was distraught over grades.

Today I came across an update to this story HERE Apparently he is from India and his name is Sujithkumar Venkatramolla. Now weather he is Muslim or not is not clear. Maybe he is Hindu. But even if he was Muslim the media wouldnt mention it.

I did a google search on the name Sujithkumar Venkatramolla and I came across these two sites from the college he attends HERE and HERE. The one site list his email address as Sujithv053@yahoo.co.in a search of his email on google bring up this site from India. The website list him along with a whole host of others that were coming to America. It even includes the flight number they were taking and the number of bags they were taking. It will be interesting what else comes out from this story. Maybe nothing will come out of this but only time will tell.

Below is a letter I just wrote to the author of this article in the Christian Science monitor. I believe this mans way of thinking will get us no where and is greatly inaccurate. Below is the letter I wrote him. I hope I get a response back from him on things I put forward. Here is the letter:



This letter is a response to Kenneth Ballens article in the Christian Science Monitor here:
http://www.csmonitor.com/2007/0223/p09s01-coop.html?s=t5

"The myth of Muslim support for terror."

I would appreciate if you would forward this to him if this is not him. I would be curious to hear his response on how he views the things I put forward.

First of all in the headline of the article you say "The common enemy is violence and terrorism, not Muslims any more than Christians or Jews."

While I believe the majority of Muslims are peaceful people. I believe a percentage of 15-25% of them are Radicals and want to see the whole world under Islamic Law. That is millions of people worldwide.
You seem to be saying that terrorism is committed in the name of all religions. The truth is the majority of the terrorism we see is in the name of Islam. Radicals quote the Quran and invoke the example of Muhammad to justify what they do. I ask you to show me where Christians are quoting the Bible and invoking Jesus in to justify terrorism throughout the World. The same goes for Jews show me where they are quoting the Torah to justify war on unbelievers. The truth is you cant show me because it is not happening. The bottom line is that we must not sugar coat this and act like terrorism is equal in the name of all religions. This is false! True moderate Muslims must realize that radicals are using the Quran to justify terrorism. The moderates must address these passages that terrorist quote from the Quran and develop a doctrine that rejects these teachings. This is not happening though. You trying to sugar coat this and saying that terrorism is terrorism and is equal within all religions does not work.It is also dangerous thinking if we really want to defeat terrorism.

I also wanted to address when you said "small minority of Muslims who peddle hatred of the West and others as authentic religious practice."

As I said it is 15-25% of Muslims that are extremist worldwide. Yes that percentage sounds small doesn't it? To bad its actually millions of people that is almost equal to the population of the United States. Not to mention a recent story that just came out that 2000 radical Muslims in the UK are ready to attack there again. That doesn't just sound like a "few" people to me. Also in Canada a report came out that 12% of Muslims there said that beheading the president and bombing of the Parliament would be justified. Sounds like a small percentage again right? Well thats actually 84,000 Muslims in Canada. Thats no small number. Not to mention another poll in Europe recently showed that 40% of the Muslim community would want to see Islamic law rule Europe. Finally it is not hard to find imams on television in the Middle East preaching jihad warfare and hate of Jews. This just goes to show how main stream this is type of teaching is in the Middle East. As you can see it is not just a "small minority" there is nothing small about the problem of radical Islam as I have shown here. True moderate Muslims that want to see things change will agree with my analysis as well and want to deal with this problem

Another comment you made is "Whether recruits to violent causes join gangs in Los Angeles or terrorist cells in Lahore, the enemy is the violence they exalt."

Do you honestly believe that a person in a gang in LA is equal to an Islamic terrorist? An Islamic terrorist wants to see Islamic law rule the world and believes the his religion tells him to do this by waging jihad warfare against unbelievers. Explain to me how this is equal to a thug in a gang in LA?

The final comment I would like to address is: "Our surveys show that not only do Muslims reject terrorism as much if not more than Americans, but even those who are sympathetic to radical ideology can be won over by positive American actions that promote goodwill and offer real hope."

First I beg of you the next time you do this type of survey be more specific by what you mean when you say "terrorism" ask them questions like "Do you condemn the attacks on the Pentagon on 9/11?" You may get some interesting answers because Hezbollah condemned the attack on the World Trade Center because there were Muslims and civilians in the building. The Pentagon on the other hand is considered a military facility so therefore that attack was justified. Also you may want to ask them questions like "Do you believe Hamas and Hezbollah are terrorist organizations?" Once again I believe you would get some answers you wouldn't like. Even here in America I am in search of Muslims that will denounce these two groups. As far as I am aware the ONLY Muslim organization in America that names Hamas and Hezbollah as terrorist groups is the Free Muslim Coalition. Sadly the majority of the Muslim community does not back the Free Muslim Coalition. CAIR the largest Muslim organization even went a step further and said "The Free Muslim Coalition does not represent main stream Islam." Not to mention that CAIR even names Hezbollah and Hamas as groups that denounce terrorism. Kind of ironic. I have been asking Muslims over and over again why they there is no backing for the Free Muslim Coalition. I either get no response or they tell me that ultimately it is because that Hamas and Hezbollah are not terror organizations. Maybe you are aware of a Muslim organization that NAMES Hamas and Hezbollah as terrorist organizations. If you are please let me know. I would love to promote them. If you don't I challenge you to seek them out.

KEEP CHECKING BACK I WILL BE ADDING MORE

CHICAGO - Two Chicago-area cousins linked to a terrorism conspiracy last week traveled to Egypt in 2004 and planned to head to Pakistan for military training, federal prosecutors told a judge Monday.

Zubair A. Ahmed, 27, and Khaleel Ahmed, 26, were seeking ''training in Jihad,'' prosecutors said during a detention hearing on whether Khaleel Ahmed should be kept in custody as he is transferred to Ohio to face the charges.

The trip was not a vacation as the Ahmeds have maintained, Assistant U.S. Attorney Vickie Peters said.

''It was intended as the first stop of a trip that would land him on the battlefield of Iraq fighting U.S. servicemen,'' Peters told U.S. Magistrate Judge Geraldine Soat Brown.

The cousins were indicted by an Ohio grand jury last week, charged with conspiracy to murder Americans outside the U.S., including troops in Iraq. A detention hearing for Zubair Ahmed, of North Chicago, was delayed until Monday.
