Speaking of Hijab Fashions - don't forget the Tartan Taliban

Have you heard?

The UK authorities took the Tartan Taliban into custody the other day.

What does that have to do with that great John Wayne movie "McLintock", you ask? Well, as his name was James McLintock it was the image that came up when I googled McLintock. Made me remember how much I love that movie.

I love kilts, too you know and when I heard Tartan Taliban all I could think about was a big, plaid hijab. Couldn't find a picture of a plaid hijab or Mr. McLintock. He goes by the name of Mohammed Yacoun now and I guess being tied to Al Qaeda and the recent London bombing suspects must make him camera shy. (I sure love that movie McLintock, though. I must watch it again soon.)

But back to the Tartan Taliban - Read what Robert Spencer of Jihadwatch has to say about him. He tweaked to the dude back in December of 03.


For you Apologists and Appeasers, Radio Free Europe takes a look at the backgrounds of the Tartan Taliban, Richard "the shoe bomber" Reid, "Taliban Johnny" Walker Lindh and other isolated desert derelicts to try to explain the phenomenon of rich whiteys gone islamist. The usual root cause suspects are trotted out; sufficient value systems not instilled by the parents, mental illness, drugs and of course, thrill seeking. Read it all.

Update: Remember Mathew Stewart? He's the Aussie dude that might have starred in the latest Al Qaeda video.

But not according to his mum. I do feel bad for her. Man, that is a heavy load that she is carrying.

Well, the Australian Army has 7 former soldiers that have gone islamist and they are looking for them. Happy hunting, mates. Bring 'em in and get them in the system. If they need help, they can get it in prison.
