Derrick Shareef, a Muslim, has got to be one of the most unfortunate terrorists running loose in America.
Twenty-two year old Shareef, from Rockford, Ill., was taken into custody after a plot to blow up a Chicago shopping mall was thwarted by the FBIs Chicago Joint Terrorism Task Force.
Go here:
Special-Agent-in-Charge Robert Grant said: Once the threat Shareef posed was detected by the Joint Terrorism Task Force, his activities and movements were under constant surveillance and there was no imminent risk to the public.
Shareef appears to lack the high-technology sophistication and abundant funding that many Islamofascists are noted for. He also seems to lack room-temperature intelligence because he was arrested when he met with an undercover agent to trade a set of stereo speakers for four hand grenades and a handgun.
As if that is not bad enough, Shareef seems to have a lousy sense of timing to boot. Had he laid low until January, terrorist wimps like Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid would be in charge, and Shareef would be a protected minority.
As such, Shareef would be immune from arrest because the FBI no doubt used racial profiling to nail this creep, and that will be a no-no when Pelosi et al. begin implementing their kinder, gentler version of homeland security.
One note of caution to other terrorists plotting a shopping mall explosion: While Democrats will insist that security officials not harass you simply because you are a young, middle-aged male from the middle-east who speaks Arabic, owning a handgun may be a capital offense sometime shortly after January 3, 2007!
