Radical Islamist Arrested After Saying, I‘d Feel Happy if ’Enemy of Islam’ Obama Was Killed

DUBLIN (AP) — Police arrested Ireland’s most notorious Muslim convert Thursday over his reported death threats against President Barack Obama.
Police said Khalid Kelly, a 44-year-old dubbed “Taliban Terry” by Dubliners, was arrested at his Dublin residence on suspicion of threatening to kill the U.S. leader. He could be held for up to three days before being charged or released.
The arrest came 10 days before Obama’s arrival in Ireland and four days after a British newspaper, the Sunday Mirror, printed an interview with Kelly. He is Ireland’s most outspoken supporter of al-Qaida and its slain founder, Osama bin Laden.
Kelly was quoted as telling the newspaper that he expected al-Qaida to kill Obama during his visit to Ireland in part because the country’s police force is poorly armed. The article said Kelly would like to kill Obama himself but was too well-known to police here.
“Personally I would feel happy if Obama was killed. How could I not feel happy when a big enemy of Islam is gone?” Kelly was quoted as saying.
Obama is scheduled to spend May 23 in Dublin and the village of Moneygall, ancestral home of a great-great-great-grandfather who emigrated to the United States in 1850. Ireland is already ramping up a security operation involving 10,000 police and troops to protect both him and Queen Elizabeth II, who arrives Tuesday in Ireland for a four-day visit.
Kelly, a former Catholic altar boy from inner-city Dublin, converted to Islam while imprisoned in Saudi Arabia in 2000 for selling illegal alcohol.
He since has praised al-Qaida and Osama bin Laden on Irish TV, trained with the Taliban in northwest Pakistan and married a Pakistani woman, and has named one of their two sons Osama.
He told an Irish TV documentary in March that Osama “is a name to be proud of” and now prefers himself to be called Abu Osama – “father of Osama.” But childhood friends and neighbors, who knew him by his pre-conversion name Terry, have nicknamed him “Taliban Terry” instead.
Kelly appears in a 2010 U.S. documentary, “Holy Wars,” inspecting guns for sale in a Pakistani border arms market. He returned to Dublin in April 2010 in murky circumstances. He claimed to have been deported from an unspecified country in Eastern Europe and lost his passport along the way.
Upon his return to Dublin he declared his interest in founding an al-Qaida support group called Islam for Ireland, an idea denounced by the city’s Muslim community leaders.
Kelly says he seeks the imposition of strict Sharia law in Ireland, with public beheadings of drug dealers on Dublin’s main thoroughfare, O’Connell Street.

Posted on May 13, 2011 at 3:07amI bet this is propaganda. There probably is no Taliban Terry. Obama and the Soros media network just wants us to think Obama is threatened by Islamists. How long are we going to put up with this crap before we wake up. How would the POTUS be any safer by putting one outspoken terrorists behind bars if there are more in Ireland? This is complete B.S. Remember Spain had coconuts removed from trees to prevent injury to the President so why should we believe if he was really threatend by Al Queida that they would allow him to go on this trip….lol. Obama is probably going directly to them to make an apology and tell them the Seals acted on their own.

Posted on May 13, 2011 at 2:06amThis man is sadly mistaken. Obama is not an enemy of Islam. Obama is a Muslim. Murdering bin Laden was political.
The Obaminator was trying to raise his poll numbers so he could manipulate the debt ceiling increase debate. He intends to demagogue the issue to death and beat the Republicans over the head with his gutsiness.
All in all, murder is neither an acceptable foreign nor domestic policy.

I hope our Homeland Security is keeping a close eye on them (though doubtful when he you have Holder saying he can’t prosecute “his” people). They seriously scare me more than any Middle Eastern terrorist group to date because they are ALREADY HERE.

@Banjamon
Mr Obama does need to go, not via violence in any shape or form; impeach him, or the citizens arrest are the best ideas so far. If he would resign from office for some crazy reason alone it would be nice save that then Hillary would only be one Biden idiotic maneuver away from the White House.
I have to trust the Secret Service to do their best in keeping him and his family safe; and yet honestly there are times I wonder if Mr Obama has some kind of self sacrificial messiah like delusion.
Just think of it, if heaven forbid something occured to martyr him overseas, then a left wing successor would almost be assured running to ‘fulfill the memory of the self annointed ones’ plans.
And no, it is not as crazy as it sounds, just stop for a minute and look at it from his perspective on things…you might be suprised.

Posted on May 12, 2011 at 11:52pmOne thing though with this guy, if he seeks to be a martyr so badly, then why not just call up the White House and tell them where he is – and extend an invitation for the SEAL’s or someone, maybe the British SAS, to come and help him on his journey to the land of the guy in the red suit and the 72 smiling goats along with his friend Osama bin Lauden a.k.a “Doggie”
