A Muslim Monster In Our Midst

“My mission is vengeance. For the lives, millions of lives are lost every day.  Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, all these places where innocent lives are being taken every single day…All these lives are taken every single day by America, by this government. So a life for a life.”

These are the words of Ali Muhammad Brown, an armed jihadist serial killer who ran loose across our country.

In an article written for The New York Post, Michelle Malkin wrote, “The 29-year-old career thug admitted to killing Leroy Henderson in Seattle in April; Ahmed Said and Dwone Anderson-Young in Seattle on June 1; and college student Brendan Tevlin, 19, in Essex County, NJ, on June 25. Tevlin was gunned down in his family Jeep on his way home from a friend’s house.”

Heard about this horror? Probably not.  That changes today.

All four victims were gunned down in remote areas late at night from the same 9mm handgun.  While he was on the run, he disguised himself in a Muslim keffiyeh. He carried a notebook with jihadist scribblings and advice on evading detection.

Brown is a convicted sex offender according to The Seattle Times and served federal prison time for conspiracy to commit bank fraud in connection with a plot to defraud several banks.  In that case, between January 2002 and November 2004, Brown and three other men defrauded U.S. Bank, Bank of America, Key Bank, Washington Mutual, Wells Fargo and Boeing Employees Credit Union by depositing counterfeit and fake checks, then withdrawing funds before the checks were returned, according to charging documents filed in U.S. District Court.  Authorities determined Brown was supporting terrorism in Somalia.

Brown was part of a ring of men in South Seattle that were arrested by FBI terrorism agents in 2004 and under suspicion of funding terror groups. The feds convicted Brown and some of the other men on bank fraud charges.

New York radio personality Todd Pettengill is calling for increased attention to the June murder of a 19-year-old Brendan Tevlin, calling it evidence that “domestic terrorism is already here.”

The host of WPLJ’s “The Todd Show”, discussed the death of Brendan Tevlin for more than eight minutes Wednesday morning, asking why the case has not received more attention despite the alleged murderer’s admissions that he killed Tevlin as an act of vengeance for U.S. military actions in the Middle East.

“It was in fact an act of jihad, perpetrated by a fellow American who sympathized more with those who want to annihilate us than with his own country and its people,” he said.

Pettengill criticized The World’s Most Dangerous Community and Attorney General Eric Holder for not referencing the case in recent addresses and downplaying the level of threat radical Islamists currently living in America could pose.

“What I’m suggesting should happen,” said Pettengill, “is that this should be talked about and written about, and the American people should know.”

Let’s make this story go viral.

UPDATE II:  I am indebted to  I'm 41 and Conservative Blogs Central for linking to this important story.  I hope my readers will help to spread the word about this menace.  We must be clear-eyed about the very real threat of Islamic radicals in our midst.
