2010 Was A Banner Year--21 Muslim Terrorists In The US: A Partial List

In 2010, there were 21 Muslim terrorists in the US who either were convicted or plead guilty:

In a forthcoming report, the Investigative Project on Terrorism counts at least 21 militant Muslims who were convicted on or pleaded guilty to federal terrorism charges in 2010 alone. While most American Muslims peacefully practice their faith, Islamic extremists in their midst thirst to spill blood, usually on American soil:

• Last February 22 and April 23, respectively, Najibullah Zazi and Zarein Ahmedzay pleaded guilty to supporting a foiled September 2009 al-Qaeda plot to bomb New York City subways.

• May 26: Hosam Maher Husein Smadi pleaded guilty to attempting to bomb Dallas’s 60-story Fountain Place tower.

• June 21: Faisal Shahzad pleaded guilty to parking a thankfully dysfunctional car bomb outside The Lion King in Times Square on May 1. Sentenced October 5 to life in prison, an unrepentant Shahzad said, “We are proud terrorists and we will keep on terrorizing you.”


• July 28: Madhatta Haipe — a founder of Abu Sayyaf, al-Qaeda’s Philippine franchise — pleaded guilty to promulgating the 1995 kidnapping of 16 people, including four Americans, in Mindanao.

• August 2: Russell Defreitas, a.k.a. Mohammed, and Abdul Kadir were convicted of conspiring to detonate jet-fuel tanks and pipelines at New York’s JFK Airport to incinerate property and passengers.

• September 23: Aafia Siddiqui was convicted of attempted murder and assault against American personnel in Afghanistan. She was arrested with a two-pound jar of sodium cyanide and a computer thumb drive bearing, among other things, descriptions of New York City landmarks.

• October 18: James Cromite, a.k.a. Abdul Rahman, converted to Islam in prison. He and three others were convicted of conspiring to blast a Bronx synagogue and use Stinger missiles to demolish military planes at New York’s Stewart Air Base.

• October 20: Zachary Adam Chesser, a.k.a. Abu Talhah al-Amrikee, pleaded guilty to attempting to support Somalia’s al-Shabaab terror group and threatening writers of the South Park TV show for lampooning the prophet Mohammad.

Remember, these Muslim terrorists are behind bars. Additional terror suspects await trial, such as accused Fort Hood shooter Maj. Nidal Hasan (13 dead, 31 injured), alleged Christmas 2009 Crotch Bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, and Mohamed Mohamud, who police say planned to detonate a car bomb at a November 27 Portland, Ore., Christmas-tree lighting. According to prosecutors, Mohamud said: “I want whoever is attending that event to leave, to leave either dead or injured.”

...Indeed, New York State’s latest data show that among 683 reported hate crimes in 2009 (before the mosque fracas), eleven (1.6 percent) targeted Muslims, while 251 (36.7 percent) targeted Jews. In Los Angeles, Jews endured 88 percent of hate incidents; Muslims 3 percent.

How many more wakeup calls do we need to realize that there is a war going on?

It cannot be stressed enough that not all terrorists are Muslims.
But it cannot be ignored that all 21 terrorists in the IPT list are Muslims.
