The Visible Jihad

News reports of an arrest of an American in Phoenix, a home-grown terrorist. ABC7Chicago:

A former U.S. Navy sailor has been charged with allegedly passing military secrets about U.S. Navy movements through waters in the Middle East to al Qaeda-related Web sites during the spring of 2001, just months after the USS Cole was attacked in Yemen.

Hassan Abujihaad, formerly known as Paul R. Hall, allegedly passed information about U.S. Navy warship movements in the Straits of Hormuz in April 2001 while he was a member of the Navy. The information passed along contained details about vulnerabilites of U.S. vessels — including susceptibility to small boat attacks by terrorists.

And who is one of his friends?

The complaint claims Abujihaad was an associate of Derrick Shareef, who allegedly tried to explode grenades at the CherryVale Mall outside Chicago during the height of the holiday shopping season last December. Shareef was arrested on Dec. 6, 2006, when he traded stereo speakers for dud grenades in an FBI sting operation.
Abujihaad was discovered during the investigation of an individual in the UK who ran an Al Qaeda website, "which was a key recruitment and propaganda tool."

The invisible jihad becomes visible. Connect the dots.

UPDATE: Related editorial by IBD on the efforts of CAIR, the apologist for terror, to intimidate the Secular Islam Summit:

It dispatched its henchmen to Florida to shout the reformers down at their confab earlier this week. CAIR also posted on its Web site no fewer than four stories bashing the event and its courageous speakers, many of whom are women calling for an end to inequality and mistreatment under radical Islam.
