Religion of Peace Strikes Again: Smadi Came to the U.S. to Wage Holy War
Hosam Maher Husein Smadi, a 19 year old Jordanian, is set to be arraigned this morning in Dallas, Texas after being accused of plotting to blow up a downtown Dallas skyscraper.
In conversations with agents posing as members of an al-Qaeda sleeper cell, Smadi said he came to the U.S. to wage jihad, or holy war. He told agents he wanted to target military recruitment centers, but eventually settled on financial institutions.
“I want to destroy … targets … everything that helps America on its war on Arabs will be targeted,” he told undercover agents in May.
“We shall attack them in their very own homes. Brother, by God, we shall attack them in a manner that hurts, an attack that shakes the world. Oh Brother, let the backsliders know that the time for their destruction has come.”
“I want to destroy … targets … everything that helps America on its war on Arabs will be targeted.”
“By God who created me, there will not be a retreat at all, even if they take me to Guantánamo for the rest of my life. I will never forget Iraq, Palestine, Afghanistan, or any land where the call of, ‘There is no God but God, Muhammad is God’s Messenger’ is raised.”
“It will shake the currently weak economy in the state and the American nation because this bank is one of the largest banks in this city.”
“Millions of people would incur losses: unemployment, poverty, hunger, and a strike to the head of the government. Don’t forget the psychological impacts for the loss of this beautiful building. … Of course, our joy will be in the success of this operation.”
