'Jihad Jane' may have visited Ireland to enlist for al-Qaida plot

Irish American woman Colleen LaRose or "Jihad Jane," is believed to have visited Ireland last year to enlist others in the plot to assassinate a Swedish national, believed to be cartoonist Lars Vilks.

Seven Muslims were arrested in Ireland on Tuesday in connection with the alleged plot to kill Vilks, and the Irish Times reports that Gardai (Irish Police) believe LaRose visited the country last year to enlist and aid those involved.

Four men and three women were arrested in a joint operation between the Irish police (garden) and the U.S. authorities.

La Rose, 46, was arrested in October but the indictment was only unsealed Tuesday. Her indictment states that on and around August 23, 2009, LaRose “traveled to Europe with the intent to live and train with jihadists, and to find and kill RS #1.”

In the indictment, RS #1 refers to "Resident of Sweden," which in this case is believed to be Vilks.

The indictment also says that "Jihad Jane" posted messages on MySpace and YouTube highlighting her desire to become a martyr for Islam.

"I will make this my goal till I achieve it or die trying," she said.

There are many more like her out there, bitter, twisted, sexually immoral women with a fascination for those dangerous men from the Mid-east and a willingness to help them achieve their goals. We are in deep, deep trouble if we do not get serious about Islamic fanaticism now.

Whew, this is story #3 (and counting) on Irish Central, about this matter. Again, I say...this is the kind of thing that happens when you allow Muslims (who are anti-Irish by definition) to live in Ireland. What in heaven's name possessed the Irish authorities to EVER allow Muslims in Ireland? Certainly not because they 'contribute' to Irish culture; that is not possible. What, then? What in the name of all that is reasonable are FIFTY THOUSAND MUSLIMS (yes, you read that correctly) doing in IRELAND?!?!?
