Thirty-Nine Hours of Terror, Thirty-Two Years Ago
Long before 911 and long before the 1993 WTC bombing, islam was reigning terror among us:
"A girl came in screaming, 'There are men with guns!' " Ehrlich, 83, recalled. She and others locked themselves in her boss's office, she said. "The next thing we heard were men coming in and saying, 'Unlock the door or we're going to kill you all.' "
They shattered a glass panel in the door and then took everyone downstairs, she said. "When I entered the second floor, there were bodies on top of bodies. I thought everyone was dead," she said.
One of the captors told them that "if anyone does anything wrong, he'll cut their head and throw it out of the window," she recalled.
It happened in our Nation's Capital, Washington D.C. I was 16 years old, and I lived in Brooklyn. Do I remember? No.
The siege started March 9, 1977, at a time when security was still relaxed in government buildings and hostage videos weren't a few clicks away on the Internet. It was before people searched mail for white powder or suicide bombings claimed regular headlines.
"This was an early wake-up call about violence and terrorism and the extent to which groups will go to engage in violence either for the sake of violence or to make a point," Daniel S. Mariaschin, executive vice president of B'nai B'rith International, said yesterday. "Little did we know 30 years ago that this kind of issue would be a daily concern for all of us, not only here in Washington but abroad as well."
The 12 gunmen had several demands. They wanted the government to hand over a group of men who had been convicted of killing seven relatives -- mostly children -- of takeover leader Hamaas Abdul Khaalis. They also demanded that the movie "Mohammad, Messenger of God" be destroyed because they considered it sacrilegious.
Most of the hostages, more than 100, were captured at the B'nai B'rith headquarters.
Thirty-two years before the Gaza war, islam was attacking Jews here on American soil, for percieved insults to its pedophile prophet, led by home-grown islamic terrorists, born right here in the United States of America. A journalist was killed, and Marion Barry was shot in the chest.
Hamaas Abdul Khaalis, formerly known as Ernest T. McGee, joined the Nation of Islam in an attempt to bring the sect into line with orthodox Sunni Islam. By 1956, he had become national secretary. His efforts proved unsuccessful, so in 1958, he broke with Elijah Muhammad and founded the Al-Hanif, Hanafi, Madh-Hob Center, Islam Faith, United States of America, American Mussulmans. Based in Washington DC, the Hanafis still adhere to the basic tenets of Sunni Islam.
On January 5th 1973, Khaalis sent a proclamation to a number of mosques (including Philadelphia's Temple 12) in which he excoriated Elijah Mohammad and the Black Muslims. Calling them "false prophets" and denouncing Elijah Mohammad as "a lying deceiver". On January 17th the Black Mafia crew invaded Khaalis' home. Khaalis was out. Over a period of hours seven members of his family were slaughtered, including four infants between the ages of 9 days and 22 months. The babies were drowned in a bathtub and sink. When one enforcer had qualms and asked another why the babies had to die, the answer was "because the seed of the hypocrite is in them".
Another bloody, painful chapter in American history brought to you by the death cult of islam.

This sounds like a mission for our secret undercover soldier of fortune. O'Vomit will need top issue the black op order since he only goes on sanctioned missions.
