LOS ANGELES (TheBlaze/AP) — Federal authorities say four Southern California men have been charged with plotting to kill Americans overseas and in the United States by joining al-Qaida and the Taliban in Afghanistan.
FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller says the defendants are under arrest for plotting to bomb government facilities and public places.
According to the federal complaint unsealed Monday during initial appearances, 34-year-old Sohiel Omar Kabir introduced two other California men to the radical Islamist doctrine of Anwar al-Awlaki, a deceased al-Qaida leader.
Authorities allege Kabir traveled to Afghanistan and communicated with the two – 23-year-old Ralph Deleon and 21-year-old Miguel Alejandro Santana Vidriales – so he could arrange for their travel to join him and meet with his contacts for terror organizations. They later recruited 21-year-old Arifeen David Gojali.
The complaint says Deleon and Santana told an FBI source of their plans to engage in “violent jihad.”

Nov. 20, 2012 at 10:11amYep, the FBI is maintaining its directive from Eric Holder and his White House master to leave the “Big Boys” alone and concentrate on the small fish without Saudi “big money” connections.
By big boys, I mean CAIR, ISNA and NAIT, folks who were named by Judge Jorge Solis as “unindicted co-conspirators” in the HLF terror trial. They contribute heavily to politicians on both sides of the aisle.
No, mustn’t touch the jihadists with deep pockets!

Some Mexican groups advocate taking the Southwest back. Never mind they stole it from the Indians.
The Indians were real happy with the Mexicans. That is why there was the Puebla Revolt & the Indians massacred the Mexicans. They were just so overjoyed to see them!

Nov. 20, 2012 at 7:28amAh history does repeat so if that is the case lets repeat history lets have another crusade but this time dont repeat the the outcome of the last crusade mabe learn from history i did mention doing something like this years ago and it seems like more peaple are waking up to the facts that we are under constant attack and having our rights and culture being destroyed without a shot being fired just look at the rules and regulations that are on the books now and more rules and regulations coming with more power than than law you see you can repeal laws but not rules and regulations i havent seen any rules or regulation ever being repealed i guess we need to have 1776 again.
I have sworn three oaths in my life the 1st was to the U.S. Constitution, the 2nd to God, the 3rd to my wife all of wich i do take very seriously, but i have seen in the past few decades that there are peaple that are oath breakers to which means to me is TREASON . The penalty for treason is death not a clubfed for life, a length of rope is cheaper than jail

Nov. 20, 2012 at 7:07amAt least they used correct language; “muslims” … “engage in violent Jihad”.
This language, crisp and crystal clear, allows the individual American to quickly identify the enemy.
We can only hope that the days of inaccurate language with regards to violent Islamic Jihad is a thing of the past.

Those were embraced with handcuffs. Meanwhile there are other organizing in plain sight. The hold conference in major cities & the FBI cannot go. It is considered spying.
They keep out Christian Arabs who might report back what they are saying. You are so proud of Jimmy Carter Grandson for his tape but have a remarkable disinterest in what goes on in these conferences.

Nov. 20, 2012 at 4:35am“Southern CA men” – where? San Diego?
I have lived for the last 6 years near one of the major northern border crossings. In that time the number of mosques have tripled. Not sure when the mozzis want to crimp the crossings and bring the USA to its knees… but it is coming. They have a long view plan, medium view, and short view. Al-Qaeda is a short view bunch. Easier to deal with that, actually.
Again, like collectivists, a tiny percentage of the USA’s population is scheming to control the rest. Like 130 “scientists” in IA – or 3% max of a population – on and on.

Nov. 20, 2012 at 3:19amThe Obama regime constantly reveres this “religion” of peace that is Islam. Yet, who are the people plotting to destroy the US? They all belong to a political system of repression and violence….Islam. This system of repression demeans women to the level of property that can be thrown out or even stoned to death when the man tires of them. It also legalizes the murder of gays just for their “sexual preference.” Yet, the left idolizes this political form of repression and violence. It is not a religion it is a tool to control of the masses by the domination of all people with torture and violence. Their system of law, that the UN is pushing on the US, and all the countries of the world promotes the legal degradation and murder of women as well as anyone who refuses to submit to their political system…..Islam.
It is true that many people from Islamic countries have, in the past, immigrated to the US to escape sharia law but in the last 2 decades the Islamic immigrants have been more and more radical in their beliefs. Even the most educated Islamic people hold onto the religious system that have been driven into their brains since birth. If you think an Islamic doctor knows better than to hold on to such a backward and violent belief system then think again. They have every intention of turning the US into another part of the Islamic caliphate that the Muslim Brotherhood is establishing right now in the middle east by destroying every secular government… with Obama’

Nov. 20, 2012 at 4:18amThe silence from the so called “Moderate Muslims” is deafening. Your silence implicates you to be associated with the more radical elements in your society. Reading these comments illustrates the attitude Americans are developing about your culture. I for one know many wonderful Muslim people; however, it is up to you to control, and identify the radicals among you, or you will end up being hated right along with them. It will be no ones fault but your own. Wake up, get active, get brave. These people are insane, and will make your life miserable as they are trying to do to us. Just ask your friends, and family in the Middle East living under corrupt regimes how much fun they are having. You can save your Freedom, but you do need to stand up for it.

I agree with you, I fully believe the “moderate” muslims are either complicit or sleeper agents for the crazies. While attention us focused on the bomb wearing “martyrs” the moderates quietly undermine our system.
These people kill each other over differences in their own “religion.” Only a fool or a politician (same thing?) would believe that they’ll coexist peacefully with non islamics.

Nov. 20, 2012 at 2:02amAnyone, why should I respect a supposed “religion” that murdered 3,000 Americans on 09/11/2001?
This is what I want. I want any Muslim practicing person to denounce Islam or be forced out of the USA. Islam “followers” are murderers of innocent Americans. I want ALL Islam followers out NOW! They attack and murder all those who don’t bow down to their sick and despicable ideology, and all those Muslim degenerates in Dearborn, Michigan have to go.
The United States of America MUST BE an 100% free Islam zone. Spit on any Muslim you come across. They are a hateful and murderous People. Don’t ever hire any known Muslim to work for you.

Nov. 20, 2012 at 2:15amI agree DIANE TX Besides: THIS IS NO RELIGION. THIS IS a SATANIC CULT. LOOK at their FRUIT!!
THEY hate God’s Chosen People, they believe THEY control GOD’S favor on them by their prayers or by murdering GOD’S creations; THEY believe in COLLECTIVE SALVATION (where have you heard that sentence before?) when what GOD wants is a one on one.
ISLAM is a COUNTERFEIT religion. NONE of the basic principles that comprise the Faith of the GOD who created the UNIVERSE is found in ISLAM…THEY are the mirror opposite of what GOD’S teachings are. SOME people are fooled by the parts of the Old and New Testaments they copied from Judaism and Christianity …but GOD doesn’t want, nor did HE create ROBOTS!! Murdering Machines; Wicked, power-mad Imams…I mean they don’t even agree on who their own Messiah is (Shi’ites and Sunni’s each have their own) !
They don’t consider JESUS the MESSIAH, which of course He is and it’s wonderful to keep hearing the accounts about the dreams He’s appearing in, the conversions He is making all across the Islamic world.
NOT only do we need the USA to be a MUSLIM free zone, but we must work to undo the EVIL that Madeline Murray O’Hare did. We must work to get GOD back into our Schools, if a child doesn’t want to pray, fine, but 85% of them do and should be able to. WE can pretty well see what our lives without GOD would look like! We also need to gather together to swat the minority groups that

We don’t “got no stinkin’ problem” with our borders and who else may be crossing besides women and their little children. I hope they were given all of their rights–their prayer rugs and the Koran while waiting for their release–which should be around Wednesday of this week.

Yes. Dawa and taqqiya are two methods by which the Jihad is pressed forward through non-violent means. Dishonesties such as deception, lies, ridicule, ostracism, bribery, and blackmail are used to great success.
There are also the non-violent “moderate muslims” who, while not committing violent acts, form the financial and spiritual support system the permits the jihadis set about their holy obligation to Allah, in the footsteps of their warlord prophet Mohammed, and wage violent Jihad.
