On December 30, 2009, a Jordanian doctor, outraged at the brutality of U.S. military actions and that of Israelis in the Gaza strip and the occupied territory, willingly sacrificed his life to inflict damage to the United States. An article in the Financial Times (January 9, 2010) made reference to the doctor:

Just over a year ago, a visitor to an Islamic website posted a comment next to a photograph of two Muslim women lying in pools of blood. "Anyone who sees such a painful picture and does not rush to fight should consider his manhood and masculinity dead," the message read.

Drawing on a well of patience, subterfuge and ultimately self-sacrifice, which has earned a grudging respect even from his adversaries, Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal al-Balawi, a Jordanian doctor turned triple agent, stayed true to his word. Having convinced some of the top al-Qaeda experts  at the US Central Intelligence Agency that he could track down the terrorist groups leaders, he strolled into their base in Afghanistan without being searched, waited until his victims had gathered, then detonated his explosives-laden vest. The resulting deaths of seven CIA personnel, including a woman, represented a propaganda coup for al-Qaeda, allowing the network to claim to have outwitted its most implacable foe.

"To be blunt, this was a brilliants operation," said Fred Burton, a former US counter-terrorism agent and now vice-president of intelligence at Stratfor, the global intelligence company. "They will be able to use this for recruitment, for fundraising to tout their success."

Reflecting the extreme hatred throughout the Middle East against Americans, Dr. al-Balawi's father stated after he learned of his son's fate:

"We are not surprised. Fighting the arrogant, unjust, haughty and tyrant American who kills civilians and innocent people makes the whole Islamic world hate America.  They say that Jesus gave his life to people. I say that Humam sacrificed his body and soul for the oppressed.

The Jordanian doctor's Turkish wife, Defne  Bayrak, stated (Associated Press):

"I am proud of him; my husband has carried outs a great operation in such a war. May God accept his martyrdom. My husband did this against the U.S. invasion."

In the United States, there were people who opposed the invasion of Iraq and the killing of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis. Then there were the large numbers, mostly Republicans and religious fanatics that approved of these outrages, disregarding the fact that serial lying was deliberately used in seeking support for the murders. But almost all were too cavalier about the slaughter to call for the impeachment of the president and the removal from office of those in Congress that supported the brutality.

Now, they are paying for it, and will continue for years to come, while many Americans cringe in fear  at every little incident at airports, with people running to the streets for such incidents as bottles of honey found in passenger baggage suspected of being explosives!!

Another Upper Echelon Muslim Willing to Die Killing Americans

Within that same week, another Muslim that was willing to kill himself to kill Americans, fueled by outrage over the deadly effects of policies and actions ordered by U.S. politicians, was the attempt by a normally quiet, well educated, and financially secure Nigerian, who attempted to detonate a bomb on board a Northwest Airlines flight from Amsterdam to Detroit on December 25, 2009. Despite numerous red flags, the Nigerian, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, was able to board the flight with PETN explosives hidden in his underwear. the red flags included:

• CIA notice that the al Qaeda group in the Arabian Peninsula was in the process of preparing a Nigerian to undertake a terrorist mission against the United States.
• The father of Abdulmutallab, a prominent banker in Nigeria, was so concerned about his son's radical statements that the father went to the U.S. Embassy in Lagos, Nigeria, to report the matter.
• At the airports in Lagos where the son, Abdulmutallab, went through security, and again at Amsterdam, the warning signs included:
  • Paying cash for a one-way overseas trip.
  • Providing no contact number.
  • Traveling overseas without a suitcase.
