This pisses me off


Muslim FBI informant ostracized by Muslim community in U.S.

One would have thought that the Vast Majority of loyal, patriotic American Muslims would celebrate Mahmoud Omar as a hero. Why don’t they? Why does a man who helped the FBI against jihadists say, “I lost my people. I lost my religion”? And why don’t authorities ask that question, and seek answers to it? “From star FBI witness to ostracism, loss,” by George Anastasia for the Philadelphia Inquirer[1], June 27 (thanks to all who sent this in):
This is not the way Mahmoud Omar thought things would play out.

Omar, the Egyptian-born FBI informant who was the key prosecution witness in the Fort Dix terrorism trial, is sitting at the kitchen table in his two-bedroom apartment trying to make sense of what has happened to him.
He has an eviction notice for overdue rent, an application for welfare, a foundering export business, and an uncertain immigration status.

The South Jersey apartment is sparsely furnished. There is little food in the refrigerator.

Omar is living week to week, sometimes day to day, with his American-born wife, Jessica, who grew up in Maple Shade, and their two children, a daughter, 6, and a son, 3.

Espionage entails convincing opponent of loyalty. Did this 'apostate' perform well for Israel. Indeed. This 'apostate' may not be all that he presents himself to be. I don't trust any muslim/apostate that writes a book referring to the 'Palestinian people' being oppressed by Israel. Slip of the tongue? Perhaps. But these slights can prove detrimental to ones well being. Should it be your well being - or - his that is of concern?
My decision is easy.
