***updated...10pm Eastern-new details about Haq via AP - he "forced his way through a security door by holding a gun to a 13-year-old girl's head"...told 911 dispatcher, "These are Jews and I'm tired of getting pushed around and our people getting pushed around by the situation in the Middle East..."***
***new photo of Haq via AP...***
July 28, 2006Seattle, Wash.Naveed Afzal Haq, 30, is arrested and charged with killing one woman and wounding five others at the downtown Jewish Federation building. The shooter declared "I am a Muslim American, angry at Israel," according to eyewitnesses. "There’s nothing to indicate that it’s terrorism related," according to the FBI.
10pm Eastern update: AP now reporting.
The man suspected in a fatal shooting rampage hid behind a potted plant in a Jewish charity's foyer and forced his way through a security door by holding a gun to a 13-year-old girl's head, the police chief said Saturday. Once inside, police say, Naveed Afzal Haq opened fire with two semiautomatic pistols. One woman, Pam Waechter, 58, of Seattle was killed at the scene. Five more women were wounded.
Haq, 30, was ordered held on $50 million bail Saturday pending formal charges of murder and attempted murder. Haq, a Muslim, told authorities he was angered by the war in Iraq and U.S. military cooperation with Israel. "He pointedly blamed the Jewish people for all of these problems," Seattle Police Chief Gil Kerlikowske said at a news conference Saturday.
July 25, 2006Dickinson, Texas.Dr. Wameeth Fadhli is charged with shooting an unarmed bicyclist, who was hit in the chest and shoulder. According to witnesses, the victim was riding his bicycle when a sport utility vehicle pulled alongside and Fadhli reportedly began firing what they described as a pistol. The witnesses told police the shooter was alone and wearing what appeared to be surgical scrubs. Galveston Daily News: "Assistant district attorney Xochitl Vandiver, who recommended [$60,000] bond after conferring with investigators, said the amount was higher than usual for that charge because of concerns for community safety. “At this point, this looks like it could have been just a random shooting, and that makes it a pretty scary crime,” she said." More.
June 25, 2006 Denver, Colorado.Michael Julius Ford kills one and injures five in a shooting spree. Rocky Mountain News: "Reports that Ford was upset about being taunted and harassed at work about his Muslim beliefs were downplayed by police and Safeway Monday, although they continue to look into all possibilities."

WBAL: "Detectives said there was no motive for the shooting and that Jabbar did not know anyone in the theatre, including Schrum." WJZ: "The family of the Baltimore County man accused of shooting and killing another man inside an Owings Mills movie theater says the suspect suffered from a mental illness..."
October 2002Black Muslim convert John Mohammed and protege Lee Malvo are convicted for their roles in a three-week, terror shooting spree that claimed ten innocent lives and injured three others. Malvo pleaded insanity. The jihadi snipers revisited.
July 4, 2002Los Angeles, Calif.Hesham Hadayet opened fire at Los Angeles International Airport while standing in line at the ticket counter of Israel's El Al Airlines, killing two and wounding four others before an airline security officer shot him dead. FBI officials initially discounted terrorism and reported on his "despondency" over personal affairs. A year later, the FBI admitted Hadayet's anti-Israel views and characterized his bloody acts as terrorism.
Update - more:
Feb. 23, 1997New York CityAbu Kamal, a Palestinian teacher shoots seven tourists on the 86th-floor observation deck of the Empire State Building, killing one. AP: "'[He carried a note blaming the United States for using Israel as "an instrument' against his people. The note found in Ali Hassan Abu Kamal's pocket contains 'rambling, angry stuff,' and appears to contradict claims by the man's family that the shooting had nothing to do with politics, a high-ranking police source said last night. The letter also expressed anger at France and England for using Israel as 'an instrument' against Palestinians, and indicated that Mr. Abu Kamal planned to vent his anger at the Empire State Building, the source said.'"
March 1, 1994New York CityRashid Baz, a Lebanese livery cab driver, opened fire on a van full of Hasidic Jewish boys on the Brooklyn Bridge, killing one and wounding several others. He was sentenced to 141 years in prison. ME Forum: "The Federal Bureau of Investigation (F.B.I.) at one point ascribed his motive to 'road rage.' But then, in December 2000, federal authorities changed their minds and announced that Baz’s actions were 'the crimes of a terrorist.'"

LGF notes that mosques are getting extra protection following the murder of Jews.Hugh HewittAndy McCarthyIt's Just DanHyscienceComments at Belmont ClubMatt Rosenberg at SoundPoliticsDaniel Pipes flashback: Sudden Jihad Syndrome
Robert Spencer at Jihad Watch:
[O]nce again the media will ignore the question of why a man who describes himself as a Muslim American angry at Israel would think that murder of innocents was an appropriate outlet for his anger. No one will ever consider whether such behavior is encouraged by the texts and atmospherics of Islam, and if so, what can be done about it.
The shooting came a day after the FBI had warned Jewish organizations nationwide to be on alert after Hezbollah leaders in Lebanon and al-Qaida's second in command urged that the war raging in the Middle East be carried to the U.S. However, the law-enforcement source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said there is no evidence Haq was involved with any group.
When (if ever) will law enforcement officials realize that it is enough for Zawahiri and others to say this sort of thing? That that in itself is enough to move some Muslims to act? There doesn't need to be any organizational connection for there to be an ideological connection, an identity of motive and goal.
Yup.
It's the jihad, stupid.

The air conditioning is out in our building at work. It has been out for most of the week. The outside temperatures have been hovering around 100 degrees +/- a couple degrees all week. I just saw a thermometer and it is 84 in the building. This is not motivating me to turn and burn here in the office. By the time I get home I want to do a whole bunch of nothing.

The bride bought a new freezer last night. It will be delivered sometime Friday. She has decided that it will go right where my gun safe is. So I will have to unload the safe and drag to a new home in the basement. The biggest problem I can see with this is the bride will want to help and then she will see the guns. I can hear it now “why do you have some many” She knows I have a bunch but she does not see them all at once. I can only hope that when I say I don’t need any help she will take me up on it. It will just be easier all around.

The bride does not really like guns, but she wants me to own them and she likes the fact I carry one when we go out. I have taken her shooting a couple of times but it is like pulling teeth to get her to go. But that is okay as long as she is happy life is good.

The bride is home safe and sound, it looks like she will be home for three weeks and she is off again. I had a nice dinner for her when she got home. I had the house spotless. But this morning I noticed that under the kitchen sink was flood. Yes I had a leak. I got it fixed for a little bit, but I had drug everything out from under the sink to let it dry out. So the house was not as nice as I had hoped. I spent most of the day cleaning house, splitting wood (winter will be here before you know it), and cooking dinner. I am a tired boy, good nght and God bless.

Talked with the bride last night and it looks like she is coming home Saturday instead of next Tuesday. It will be good to have her home. The heat and humidity back in Okalahoma has taken its toll on her. She is looking forward to coming home, but I think it is more to see the dogs then me. With that I will leave you with “WORDS OF WISDOM”


Two guys from Daniels County are quietly sittin' in a boat at

Fort Peck Montana fishing and suckin' down beer when suddenly

Karnes says, "I think I'm going to divorce my wife - she hasn't

spoken to me in over 2 months."



Earl sips his beer and says,

"You better think it over - women like that are hard to find."

No adult supervision, NONE

It s true, I sent mom home on Wednesday and the bride left today for a 10 day business
trip. I am home alone (except for the dogs), and I get to chose the programs on the TV. I have been watching a "dirty job" marathon. I just had a can of chile for dinner, how much more fun can a man have. Don't forget I am a Christian and I do have some boundaries .

I was going to the desert after I dropped the bride off at the airport. But it is just to hot to go out there. It is suppose to be around 100 degrees today. It was in the 80's at 8:30 this morning. With the meds I am on I don't do well in the heat. I use to love running around the desert anytime of the year, but not anymore.

I did get the oil change in my truck and got my chain saw running. I am getting some new tires for my truck. They had to order them in and they should be here on the 26th. I decided to go with Pirellie ATR 265 70 17. They are a 10 ply tire and should do me well when I haul the trailer. I have only had the trailer out once so far this year. I hope to go the weekend after the bride gets back. I may go the weekend she is gone, but for some reason she does not want me to take off by myself. I mean it has been almost 10 months since I have been in the hospital, and you don't live forever. Now if my buddy Dave from Dave's place was to show up he and I could have a great time running around the mountains fishing and stuff like that. Dave and his wife have some plans to tour the US someday. They are from Scotland and I am looking forward to them showing up on my door step someday.

I think I wil head upstairs now and do some time on the staionary bike and the tread mill. I can workout just fine as long as it is air conditioned and I have a celling fan going, plus a remote for the TV

Interesting

Alaska
More than half of the coastline of the entire United States is in Alaska.



Amazon

The Amazon rainforest produces more than 20% the world's oxygen supply. The Amazon River pushes so much water into the Atlantic Ocean that, more than one hundred miles at sea off the mouth of the river, one can dip fresh water out of the ocean. The volume of water in the Amazon river is greater than the next eight largest rivers in the world combined and three times the flow of all rivers in the United States.



Antarctica
Antarctica is the only land on our planet that is not owned by any country. Ninety percent of the world's ice covers Antarctica. This ice also represents seventy percent of all the fresh water in the world. As strange as it sounds, however, Antarctica is essentially a desert. The average yearly total precipitation is about two inches. Although covered with ice (all but 0.4% of it, i.e.), Antarctica is the driest place on the planet, with an absolute humidity lower than the Gobi desert.



Canada
Canada has more lakes than the rest of the world combined. Canada is an Indian word meaning "Big Village."



Chicago
Next to Warsaw, Chicago has the largest Polish population in the world.



Detroit
Woodward Avenue in Detroit, Michigan, carries the designation M-1, named so because it was the first paved road anywhere.



Damascus, Syria

Damascus, Syria, was flourishing a couple of thousand years before Rome was founded in 753 BC, making it the oldest continuously inhabited city in existence.



Istanbul, Turkey

Istanbul, Turkey, is the only city in the world located on two continents.



Los Angeles
Los Angeles's full name is El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora la Reina de los Angeles de Porciuncula --and can be abbreviated to 3.63% of its size: L.A.


New York City
There are more Irish in New York City than in Dublin, Ireland; more Italians in New York City than in Rome, Italy; and more Jews in New York City than in Tel Aviv, Israel.



Ohio
There are no natural lakes in the state of Ohio, every one is manmade.



Rome

The first city to reach a population of 1 million people was Rome, Italy in 133 B.C. There is a city called Rome on every continent.



Siberia
Siberia contains more than 25% of the world's forests.



S.M.O.M.

The actual smallest sovereign entity in the world is the Sovereign Military Order of Malta (S.M.O.M.). It is located in the city of Rome, Italy, has an area of two tennis courts, and as of 2001 has a population of 80, 20 less people than the Vatican. It is a sovereign entity under international law, just as the Vatican is.



Sahara Desert
In the Sahara Desert, there is a town named Tidikelt, which did not receive a drop of rain for ten years. Technically though, the driest place on Earth is in the valleys of the Antarctic near Ross Island. There has been no rainfall there for two million years.



Spain
Spain literally means 'the land of rabbits.'



Roads

Chances that a road is unpaved in the U.S.A.: 1%, in Canada: 75%.



Texas
The deepest hole ever made in the world is in Texas. It is as deep as 20 empire state buildings but only 3 inches wide.



United States

Waterfalls

The water of Angel Falls (the World's highest) in Venezuela drops 3,212 feet (979 meters). They are 15 times higher than Niagara Falls.

Mom goes home tomorrow; it has been a good visit. But she does not want to move up here yet. I asked her what she wanted to talk about and she got a blank expression on her face and said “what”. She said there was nothing that she wanted to talk about. So I figure one of us is going down hill, I just don’t know which one.

It has warmed up here, this morning at 5:15am it was 75 degrees. That constitutes warm in my book. I figure we will get up into the 90’s by this afternoon. I took the dogs for a walk yesterday evening and we only put in a ½ mile. It was just to warm. When we got home the dogs flopped on the tile floor and would not move. I guess if I walk them it will have to be in the mornings. The only problem is I start work at 6:00am so there is not a lot of time to wander around the neighborhood.

I had a very nice post to my blog and I got kicked off, lost everything. I am not sure I can recapture the beauty of my words but I will try.

It is the 4th of July, flags are flapping, fireworks are going off and we are having a bar b que this evening. Mom is enjoying her visit, but it does not seem like she wants to move in with us yet. She did get her drivers lisense back. So in my sisters words "Lord have mercy on our souls", mom is not the best driver. As a matter of fact she scares me to death. But she is allowed to drive again, now she just has to get her car fixed. Times like this I wish I was not 800 miles away.

The bride and mom are at the store right now. I did get a phone call from them and they had already spent $65 at the first fireworks stand they stopped at. No telling how much this is going to cost. But I am sure it is going to be fun. I want to wish everyone a safe and happy 4th.
God Bless you all and God Bless America

I am totally bummed; I have been having a lot of trouble with my computer. I can not reply or post to anybodies blog. Unless maybe everybody has blocked me all at once, but I am not being uppity and not talking with folks I just can’t. Bummer

Mom is coming to town today; she will be here about two weeks. The main thrust of her visit is to see her new great granddaughter. Ava is her third great grandchild and is going on two weeks old. I figure I should get mom up here before all the new wears off this child. The bride and I will take off from work about 10:00 this morning (heading for the airport) and I’ll be off all next week. The only trouble I have with taking off that long is management can see a spike in production when I leave. I have never figured out the correlation between the two, but I have heard some ugly rumors.

Mom says she has something to talk to us about when she gets here; she likes to hold things in suspense (I believe it is for dramatic emphasis). I think and I am hoping that she has decided to move in with us. Mom is 85 years old; her car has just broken down, not that that matters much anymore, she has just lost her driver's license. There are no grocery stores left in the old neighborhood, no gas stations, not that that matters (see above). Plus there is no family. She has lived in the same house since 1957. It will be a hard thing for her to move on, but I have told her many times I want her to move up and she has grand kids and great grandkids all over the place up here. I am starting to have the basement finished off and I will make it into a nice apartment for her, about a 1000 square feet. She will have her own door to the backyard and we have the two dogs to keep her company while the bride and I are at work. Anyway I’ll post more as the weeks wear on.

The Miami seven, I am talking about the seven men arrested in Miami for planning terrorist attacks on the USA. Five of these men are American citizens, one is a naturalized citizen, and the last is an illegal alien. They wanted to “kill all the devils they could”. I am assuming that the devils are anybody who is not them. By them I am meaning Muslims. This is a war being waged against the western civilization, and I believe it will get much worse.. I am not sure how we as everyday citizens can handle this. I know most Americans stick their head in the sand and go about their daily routine. Our elected representatives won’t do anything, in fear they may alienate some obscure voting block. I am not sure what I can do more then write letters. I do pray and I believe God answers prayer, but I want to shake my fellow Americans and tell them to wake up.


Next time you go by a mosque in your neighborhood, stop and wonder what they are preaching in there. Is it innocent talk, or is it one of the many mosques that is preaching hate and death to the infidel

It looks like my machine at home is running. So I hope to be able catch up on my email and blog.

I had my computer up and running last night, but that was yesterday and yesterday gone. I got up this morning to answer some e mails and go read some blogs and I could not sign on. Last night I had reinstalled Windows and installed some updates from MSN and most everything was good. It would still kick me off line when I clicked on an embedded link. I really don’t want to spend the money for a new computer. My oldest son builds computers for a hobby, and told me that he could build a screaming machine for about $500 plus the cost of the software. For what I do with a computer a screaming box is not necessary. A little e mail, a little blogging, and sell a little something on e bay. How much computer do I need? People buy way more technology then they need, they waste money on too many gadgets that are not necessary. Take for example microwave ovens, how many people use them for more then warming up leftovers or popping popcorn? But they get the one with delayed start, meat probes, auto defrost, price driving buttons. The same with washing machines, the washer and dryer I have must have twenty different settings and I don’t think we use more then two. I digress, I don’t need a super fast machine, I don’t need a bigger hard drive, All I need is to get on line when I want and blog a little. Maybe look up some stuff on line.

I am amazed at the response to the tortured and mutilated bodies of our servicemen captured in Iraq. Other then Fox News I have not heard much. These two young men were butchered so bad that they have to use DNA to make sure who they are. The main stream media says nothing. But if one of our brave men or women says something off color to the detainees at Gitmo all hell breaks lose. I just don’t understand why our own countrymen turn against our troops. Where and when did we lose the country? Where and when did we lose the guts to right wrongs, to fight for the underdog, to fight for our freedom?

We are trying to fight a civilized war against 7th century barbarians whose only desire is “to kills us where they find us”. This statement can be found in the Quran. These butchers would love nothing more then to come to the United States and start the same campaign that is ongoing in Iraq. Between this and the violent gangs making runs across our southern border it is no wonder why I carry a gun everyday.
‘.

Such a weekend I have had. The bride had surgery of Friday so I have been stepping and fetching all weekend. Then Saturday afternoon my daughter gave birth to a brand new baby girl. It was a nice Fathers Day gift. My son from Colorado is in town with his wife, so they headed up to the hospital with us. We met the other set of grandparents there. Then the father’s sister arrived and we had a room full. We took turns passing the little angel from grandparent to grandparent and to all the aunts and uncles. I have a number of pictures, but my home computer is so messed up. I can not get on line at all. So you will have to wait to see the prettiest little girl in the world.

My mom is coming up on the 29th to see the baby. This is her third great grand baby and she is very excited. She will spend the better part of two weeks with us. I have been trying to get her to move here for a long time. She is 85 and has just lost her drivers license, plus her car broke down. Maybe I can talk to her a little when she arrives.

My son got the phone call yesterday. He will be employed by the Commerce City police department starting 26 June. It would be an understatement to say he is excited. As I said before I wish he would have taken the job in the small mountain town. It would have been like Barney and Andy in Mayberry, but Commerce City is like East LA and it is called Combat city. The boy said he wanted to be a cop in a busy department and I think he is getting his wish. I do approve of his choice of firearms; He has a full size Glock in 45 acp. I believe it carries 13+1 that is a lot of firepower. I don’t know what the department’s standard is but I would vote for Cor Bon +p 230gr HP. But that is me.


The boy’s cousin is a Douglas county deputy sheriff in Colorado. He has been decorated for Valor and is on the swat team. It looks like he has taken a leave of absents from the sheriff office to go to Iraq to train Iraqi police officers. So he may end up seeing his brother who is stationed over there right now. The only difference is one is a private first class making almost not enough money and his brother is going over as a contractor and will make $90,000 in six months, tax free. What a deal.

I had a long talk with my nephew last night. He is station in Iraq. It is good to know that he is safe. It was 3:30 am desert standard time (I just made that up) when he called. His job right now is to train the Iraqi police. They have to truck them out in the middle of the desert to insure that they don’t run home if it gets a little tough. He sounded very tired and a little frustrated. We talked about his future plans, and family. He wants to go to Japan when he gets out an attend school there. This is the same young man that got himself stuck in Hong Kong a couple of years ago. But he has grown up some in the Army and I hope that he finds what he is looking for in Japan. His parents are not happy about these plans, and I believe this is a source of tension between them. If he were my kid I would not be happy about these plans, but he is the bride’s sister’s kid. I do worry about him headed over there but I figure if he has fought in a war for our country and he wants to try Japan then he should give it his best shot. Maybe you wonder what the attraction is for him over there, well he likes oriental girls. I am not sure I would base my whole future on a bunch of really cute girls, but he is 21 and I am 53.

It has warmed up here; I guess it is going to be in the 90’s today and mid 80’s for the rest of the week. I have a pretty good to do list for this evening, should keep me busy.

Got a phone call from my youngest son last night, He is living in Colorado with his wife. His dream is to be a cop. He has gone thought the police academy and has a job at a local collage as the campus police. The position is an actual law enforcement position but they are not regarded to highly. The boy called to tell us that he has been offered a job at Commerce City. This is one of the toughest places in Colorado; the locals call it Combat City. He has a started date of 26 June. All he has to do now is pass a couple tests to see if he is fit to serve. I am pretty sure that they are a formality at this point. If you could keep the boy in your prayers I would appreciate it.

I have another prayer request. The bride just called and said she wants to go to dinner with her friend. These girls have been friends for the better part of 30 years. Anyway the friend’s youngest daughter has been a pain in the butt for a number of years. She has two children out of wed lock and pretty much lives off welfare. It is sounding like she is suicidal right now. This girl had everything going for her. Great parents and a wonderful upbringing. At one point her and my youngest son were going together. Anyway if you think about her say a few words.

I am still having trouble with my MSN Explorer. I can get to most of my stuff but I have to take the long way around the barn. I spent two hours with Tech support last night and we could fix nothing. I can not get to my favorites list, or my address book. I am sure that the President, Senator Hatch, and Senator Bennett will be happy. (just kidding I will get their e mail again). I will have to build my favorites again. I was thinking about heading to the desert today and go shooting, but the bride said she wanted to go see some chick flick. It is tough when you are domesticated.
