The CA, for a few months now, has been receiving letters from self-identified jihadist Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad as he spends time in prison for his part in the death of one soldier and the injury of another at a military recruiting center in Little Rock. This past Sunday, we printed some excerpts of those letters, in which Muhammad describes his purpose and what he sees as an all-out war on Uncle Sam by those Muslims who have been called to fight. It’s interesting and pretty terrifying stuff. I figure most of all, it’s just sad to see someone give himself over to violence with such fervor and sense of moral duty. I don’t get it.
Read the story and take a look at his writings here. Here’s how the spread looked in the paper:
In other design news, I found out late last week that I won a Scripps third-quarter design award for the work I did on the Ernest Withers special section. Awesome! That brings me to three Scripps quarterly awards. It’s nice to know that the company is paying attention to how the paper looks, and giving our team some kudos!
Looks like a great story – I’ll have to check it out online.
I don’t think he “gave himself over to violence” though. I think he was always fucked in the head and he just found an outlet for his fuckedness.
Oh – big congrats on the award too!!! You’re work it awesome.
oops – your not you are.
I would like to know what are your feelings about the CIA operations in Latin America, for example.
Do you know how many people died because of that? Do you know that many innocent individuals were kidnapped, tortured, killed?
“It’s interesting and pretty terrifying stuff. I figure most of all, it’s just sad to see someone give himself over to violence with such fervor and sense of moral duty. I don’t get it.”
You Americans are so blind, you don’t have the slightest idea what kind of sorrows and pains your country has caused in the world. And why? There’s no “sense of moral duty” for USA operations and wars over the world?
Back away from the keyboard and take a few deep breaths, pc. If you really think all Americans trust their government wholeheartedly and don’t think we realize shady bullshit goes on then you’re the blind one, friend. Come on, now. Expressing incredulousness at a jihadist is not the same thing as saying WOO AMERICAH, FUCK YEAH!
