11 Children Rescued From New Mexico Compound Run by Army Muslim Extremists
2018-08-07
[DailyCaller] Nearly a dozen children were discovered living in appalling conditions on a compound in rural New Mexico on Friday, when authorities raided the property looking for a missing 3-year-old boy.

Police didn’t find the boy but they discovered 11 other children between one and 15-years-old being held in the "saddest living conditions and poverty I have seen," Taos County Sheriff Jerry Hogrefe said in a statement posted to the agency’s Facebook page Saturday.

In charge of the makeshift residence were Siraj Wahhaj, 39, and Lucas Morten, heavily armed men believed to be "extremist[s] of the Muslim belief," Hogrefe said. When police arrived on the scene, Wahhaj was armed with an AR-15-style rifle and several loaded 30-round magazines, plus four loaded pistols.

The suspects initially refused to surrender to authorities, but were eventually taken into custody without injury. Three women who appeared to be the children’s mothers ‐ Jany Leveille, 35; Hujrah Wahhaj, 38; and Subhannah Wahha, 35 ‐ were released after questioning on Friday but later arrested and charged with neglect and child abuse after further investigation, police said.

Left eye, please! The damned thing's not focusing close enough for dim-light reading, anyway... and then there's the big, distracting dangling-spider floater.

#25  New tax laws Raj, more employment, higher wages. Tax counsel seekers will be a bumper crop this year! Congrats on your recovery.

#24  Conversations have been known to wander around here, Raj, so no worries. I’m very glad you are still around! Your practice will pick up again after you’ve fully recovered, I have no doubt. On the subject of gratitude, thank you for your part in my education since you made your way here. :-) Plenty of time to discover whether it means anything more later.

#23  This isn't intended to hijack the thread, or overshadow Whiskey Mike's eye surgery (sounds painful!), but I had a heart attack in early April, caused by three blocked arteries. Long story short - my roommate (local cop who's seen a lot of this sort of thing) says I shouldn't be here right now, and it put a dent in my tax practice. I don't know or maybe I've avoided thinking about thinking if this means anything beyond what actually happened, but there it is - count my blessings and go on with life.

#22  In no particular order:

Y’all are very welcome. I strongly dislike having to tell someone “No”, and even more strongly dislike having to do so repeatedly — management does not come naturally to me, I’m afraid. But when Fred was so sick we were afraid he might die, (he’s fine now), and Dr. Steve got so busy with the new Obamacare patients and regulations, I was the moderator with free time to deal with stuff. I’ve done my best, and am grateful to the latest additions to the team, who’ve been wonderful.

I’ve occasionally seen Mike Sylwester and Zenster elsewhere, too, which makes me happy.

Islamberg/Al Fuqra: This lot look like self-starting amateurs, not formally connected to anyone, which no doubt is ehy they were so easily overrun by the authorities. Al Fuqra will be likely be a harder nut to crack once our people finally decide to take action.

Besoeker, we still have drunken voice-to-text guy...

I adore European Conservative, though we disagree on the subject of President Trump, and he was for succoring the victims of the Syrian situation in the early days. But I don’t always agree even with Mr. Wife —it’s the human condition. EC is knowledgeable, thoughtful, polite, and he has worn his country’s uniform (as does his son now), so his words deserve to be addressed thoughtfully, it seems to me.

Whiskey Mike, your eye surgery story is appalling — you are a much braver man than I. When the potassium IV drip they put me on before that sudden, unexpected surgery back in 2005 burned going in, Mr. Wife made them stop it until I was unconscious a few minutes later. I cannot imagine going through with eye surgery under the conditions you describe.

#16  Jack's IQ is unquestionably a fraction of that of Maxine Waters. He continues to contribute absolutely nothing to the good of the order, but we are down to our last troll. Something to possibly consider I suppose.

#15  Interesting TW. Thanks. I find EC worth reading. I find some agreement, sometimes, but worth reading. I appreciate his tenacity.

"approved....eraser end first pls".

Hah, remind me to discuss my first eye surgery someday. It started with a sharp poke in my eye, I said ouch, everyone jumped back, anesthesiologist said "Let me turn this on. Sorry." Got worse from there. Memorable. And MUCH better than second attempt. Remember always, it is called medical "practice".

Oh, this (sorta) conforms to:

3) share personal experience with subject matter which readers may have been fortunate to not have encountered
4) add smug, sarcastic and sometimes humorous (in the author's mind) content.

#14  Jack Chaiter7913 at one point called himself Hemingway, and posed as a man

We don't need posers here.
Thanks for the information.

#13  Jack Chaiter7913 at one point called himself Hemingway, and posed as a man who’d worn the uniform. Pappy called him out on details clearly borrowed from some of the more dramatic of the anti-Viet Nam War movies and a writing style modelled on dishonourably discharged Sgt. Scott Beauchamp, famed for his lurid and wholly invented dispatches reporting on troop misbehaviour on the way to and in Iraq.

#11  He does sometimes make me uncomfortable but not so as to want to slowly push a pencil into his eye, like Jack and others.

#10  I enjoy EC's thoughtful contributions. They often project a European perspective which may not be compliant with the mainstream content found here. He forces me to consider my own perspective of world events and the impact of our national policies in a global perspective.

#9  Why are the mods deleting Jack Chaiter7913 comments? It's not just Jack.

Comments...
1) add detail or updates to original article
2) provide alternative perspectives on article subject matter or discussion content
3) share personal experience with subject matter which readers may have been fortunate to not have encountered
4) add smug, sarcastic and sometimes humorous (in the author's mind) content

Or intentionally savage the reading audience with the deliberate intent of offensive agitation and alienation in the fashion of the sociopathic internet troll which provides none of the value above.

Jvalentour - I regularly Spamcop, but don't delete, his spewed racist incomprehensible drivel. That's about 95% of it. If it's coherent I leave it to encourage better behavior

#3  Saw this on the local news last night.

Somehow they didn't mention the extremist Mooselimb attributes of the adults.

They did mention that there were assault rifles and other dangerous weapons present in the compound, though.

Other than swearing, today's comments were pretty much on par with many of the other comments.
I enjoy this site for it's well reasoned discourse, but it seems to have changed over the last few years. Even European Conservative has reduced his comments, maybe due to the fact that the banter is all one sided?
