Association with al-Qaeda

Conclusive evidence of Ansar Jerusalem being an official affiliate to al-Qaeda remains wanting. The only reported links relate to Ansar Jerusalem funding and training. According to, Nabil Naeim, former militant and founder of the Islamic Jihad in Egypt, Ansar Jerusalem is funded by the Muslim Brotherhood through a deal with the Brotherhood’s Deputy Supreme Guide Khairat al-Shater that was mediated by Mohammad al-Zawahiri, the brother of the al-Qaeda leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri. Furthermore, it is speculated that Ansar Jerusalem and al-Qaeda members are being trained together as well as being training under the al-Qaeda banner, as showed in video releases by the group.

TRAC usually has the best information I run across, but even they have a disclaimer.
Yessiree, If you're a terror group, then you really don't want an accounting trail despite that you do want to be known for having taken the action.

I seriously doubt I would ever join a club that enjoyed Fireing weapons,I have gone through that phase in the military.But you do make a point ,the Gov aint real good on their intel anymore about discerning from a actual threat.and have been known to make a oops or two.So what do you do?Nothing I guess just sit back and let the opera resume.

This administration and I would say all our elected officials don't care about the constitution. Just look at the NDAA bill will tell you that.

Rule of law is far from perfect, but it beats the hell out of the alternative. Not for the benefit of crazy militia types, exactly, but for the benefit of 'everyone else.' Because if we say people's rights go 'poof' if we don't like them, there's not much left of the 'rights' idea. And you might miss them, if they were gone.
Have you ever looked at the NDAA bill ?

I can guarantee you I never will. Mainly because I have grown lazy and apathetic. If you can find a group that is dangerously militant, yet lazy and apathetic let me know.

But, chances are I won't care.

I resemble that remark. Wanna start a group? I got enough guns for both of us.
