Former US sailor/muslim convert guilty of aiding terrorists
2008-03-06
Those who met Hassan Abu-Jihaad describe him as mild-mannered, polite and unobtrusive; a California native who converted to Islam while living in Phoenix in 1997.

But, on Wednesday, Abu-Jihaad became something more sinister: the face of treason and homegrown Islamic terrorism - and a reminder that the Internet can inflame radical violence halfway around the world.

He chose a surname that means "father of holy war." Eight months later, he enlisted in the Navy.
A federal jury in Connecticut took less than 24 hours to convict the former U.S. Navy sailor on charges he slipped classified details of American fleet movements to a Web site accused of assisting the terrorist group al-Qaida. advertisement

#9  Here's a HINT for the clueless: The use of the double-a (jihaad, salaam, alaah, duaa, etceteraa) is a hallmark of the Salafist.

Eyes open, DoD, eyes open.

#2  Converts tend to be more extremist than native muslimss. Also due to Saudi money financing proselitism most of those converts don't do it to Ahamadism or similar soft versions of Islam but to wahabism and similar.

A "convert" note in a soldier's file should light alarms in military security.
