Roman Conaway, a veteran in the US army with explosives
training is an ardent Christian, he lists the Bible as the “only book”
he has ever read. He has made anti-Islam and anti-government
threats and in the lead up to his most recent standoff with the police
in which he took his wife hostage he made crazy, threatening calls
to St.Louis area Muslims prompting a visit from the FBI.
This is a manifestation of a possible threat we have been talking
about for months now, the convergence of “armed and loaded”
veterans who do not leave their animus towards Islam and
Muslims on the battlefield but also bring it home, either
joining groups in the anti-Muslim movement or acting as
lone wolves. In this instance we had the overlapping of
anti-Muslim and anti-Obama/government feelings,
an actualization that should make the Department of
Homeland Security look seriously at updating their document
on the Rise of Right-Wing Extremism by including anti-Muslim groups.
50-year-old man with a suicide belt wrapped around his waist,
with wires coming out of it and attached to a curling iron he
claimed was a triggering device, surrendered to FBI and Secret
Service agents Wednesday morning after a standoff that was
sparked by his alleged threats to
Muslims and President Barack Obama.
The man surrendered at 2:15 a.m.
Wednesday, shortly after releasing his wife and son.
Roman Conaway, 50, of 9030 Summit Drive in Fairview Heights,
was arrested on suspicion of threatening the president and law
enforcement with an explosive device,
according to FBI Special Agent in Charge Stu McArthur.
The drama began unfolding Tuesday on Summit Drive as wel
l as on the social networking website Facebook. Conaway
posted vague threats against Muslims, and later his family
members pleaded for him to end the standoff.
Conaway on Tuesday called members of the Muslim
community in St. Louis, making wild threats against them
and against President Obama, McArthur said. Those
community members called the FBI about 1 p.m. Tuesday.
The seven-hour standoff started after the FBI and Secret
Service went to Conaway’s home at 9030 Summit Drive about 7 p.m.
and were greeted by him outfitted with the belt packed with
blocks of what looked like C4 explosives, wires and a
curling iron. He pointed to two 55-gallon drums and
said the curling iron was a remote triggering device
that would activate if he were shot or attacked.
“We were quite surprised to see the props,” McArthur said.
McArthur said they heard Conaway had explosives training and
that he was ex-military, which they believed added some credence to his threats.
The blocks on the belt turned out to be Play-Doh. The
barrels were filled with water.
Fairview Heights Police Lt. Steve Evans said that by
about 8:30 p.m. Tuesday police began evacuating homes in the neighborhood.
After federal agents went to the home, “It quickly evolved
into a confrontational situation,” Evans said.
Evans said police were able to see the man and the woman
during the standoff because they were outside the home.
But as of midnight, police had not been able to determine
whether he in fact had explosives.
“We’ve had a visual on everybody there, and everybody
seems to be OK,” Evans said. “The man has been verbally
confrontational, but there has been no other aggressive action.
We’ve taken precautions, but there’s nothing to substantiate
claims that there are explosives.”
Evans said another man was at the scene, though it
appeared that man was not being held against his will.
The two men and the woman were on the lawn of the
residence. Police were getting close enough to talk to
the suspect, who was “physically detaining” the woman, Evans said.
McArthur later said the woman was Conaway’s wife and the other man was his son.
“No stone is left unturned and every lead is investigated
until there is no threat to national security,” McArthur said.
Conaway posted remarks about the situation earlier Tuesday on Facebook.
At about 5 p.m., Conaway wrote: “I need everbody with a
camera phone or video phone or video cameras to come
to 9030 Summit Drive in Fairview Heights, Illinois.
The media and your government think this is a joke. I’m not joking

The Mosque Rage Boils Over: Anti-Muslim Attacks Increasing Across US
As protests in downtown Manhattan over the "Ground Zero" Mosque have
escalated, violent incidents involving Muslims have increased. Forget
simmering debate; this is closer to a full boil.
Last night, a drunk man barged into a Queens mosque and shouted
anti-Muslim slurs at the congregation during the nightly
Tarawee prayers. He then proceeded to urinate on the
prayer rugs and gave congregants the finger. Two men
managed to subdue him and call 911.
The incident, which occurred at the Iman Mosque on
Steinway Street in Astoria, is the latest in anti-Muslim
incidents that are being reported across the US.
Faiza N. Ali, community affairs director for CAIR-NY
(Council of American Islamic Relations) told NewsFeed that
"The constant vilification of Islam and its adherents over the
air on talk radio and peddled by some politicians is
contributing to the rise in anti-Muslim sentiment
across the country." The recent attacks, she says,
are a "manifestation of hate and fear-mongering."
On Tuesday, the same night a NYC cabbie was stabbed,
a mosque in Madera, CA was vandalized with a sign
reading 'Wake up America, the enemy is here.'

Muslims who want to live under Islamic
Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get
out of America , Today’s Politics by Freedomlover
targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks..
Separately, The Freedom lover angered some American
Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported
spy agencies monitoring the nation’s mosques. Quote:
’IMMIGRANTS, NOT Americans, MUST ADAPT..
Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying
about whether we are offending some individual
or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on
The Twin Towers, we have experienced
a surge in patriotism by the majority of Americans
'This culture has been developed
over two centuries of struggles, trials and
victories by millions of men
and women who have sought freedom'
'We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese,
Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language.
Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society .
Learn the language
'Most Americans believe in God. This is not some
Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because
Christian men and women, on Christian principles,
founded this nation, and this is clearly documented.
It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls
of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest
you consider another part of the world as
your new home,Because we will offend you!!
because God is part of our culture
'We will accept your beliefs,
All we had ask of you ,is that you accept ours, and live
in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.
That has not happened.
'This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and
OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every
opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done
complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag,
Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life,
I highly encourage you take advantage of
one other great American freedom,
THE RIGHT TO LEAVE! & we will gladly wave or flag in honor of your
departure! we will even shout for joy!! throw a party!!
what more could you ask!! we have had enough.

Mosques
-----------------
In New York
There is already 42 or more Mosques.
Check mapquest for other Mosques.
Do not think that they just have to have the spot near ground zero.
And any American that believes this is just ok?
let me say this to you sorry
Americans who are this way! that is why our country is the way it is now!
because of people in the white house not doing their job to look
after this nation! & people who
do not know how to run this country! & that do not know about
how Muslims are brain washed to believe.
but beside their belief,their actions speak for themselves...
No -They want confrontation amoung Americans.
& They want to try to get their way no matter what?
Are we going to let them?
I hope not! This is America & we back up what we stand for & our people.
We welcomed all sorts of people.But In the process
of this overwhelming kindness we allowed
snakes from other countries to enter
in that had the wrong intentions.
