Missouri muslim "arming for war"

A St. Charles man obtained fully automatic weapons and tried to buy as many explosives as possible in preparation for what an associate called "war," the FBI says in court documents.

He bought three rifles and a Claymore anti-personnel mine and negotiated for a case of hand grenades, documents obtained by the Post-Dispatch show.

Mousa M. Abuelawi, 22, of Franjoe Court, was arrested Dec. 29 and charged on complaints accusing him of three counts of illegal possession or distribution of a machine gun and conspiracy to violate machine gun statutes.

Abuelawi, a Palestinian immigrant free on $50,000 bond, could not be reached. His brother declined to comment on his behalf. His lawyers, Scott Rosenblum and Gil Sison, did not return calls.

The context of the word "war" was not explained in court filings; the FBI declined to comment.  Source

Thank you, FBI for your vigilance. Please explain to us, Mr. US Atty's office, how can this guy be free on a wimpy $50K bond? Lookit! He has the bucks to buy fully automatic weapons, Claymores, and hand grenades on the black market, and you think making him come up with $5000 in cash is going to ensure that he shows up for trial? Good grief.....Either this palestinian is a bad guy, or not. The circumstances suggest that he is a bad guy, looking to promote mayhem. Get with the program, please.

Back to sleep, America....nothing to see here.
