Taliban Terry Arrested In Ireland For Obama Death Threat

By on May 13, 2011 in News 19

Is there a nuttier Irishman than Khalid Kelly, a/k/a Taliban Terry? He’s one of the main characters in Stephen Marshall’s acclaimed documentary Holy Wars (see trailer below), and is now vowing revenge for the killing of Osama bin Laden. Via AP:

Police arrested Ireland’s most notorious Muslim convert Thursday over his reported death threats against President Barack Obama.

Police said Khalid Kelly, a 44-year-old dubbed “Taliban Terry” by Dubliners, was arrested at his Dublin residence on suspicion of threatening to kill the U.S. leader. He could be held for up to three days before being charged or released.

The arrest came 10 days before Obama’s arrival in Ireland and four days after a British newspaper, the Sunday Mirror, printed an interview with Kelly. He is Ireland’s most outspoken supporter of al-Qaida and its slain founder, Osama bin Laden.

Kelly was quoted as telling the newspaper that he expected al-Qaida to kill Obama during his visit to Ireland in part because the country’s police force is poorly armed. The article said Kelly would like to kill Obama himself but was too well-known to police here.

“Personally I would feel happy if Obama was killed. How could I not feel happy when a big enemy of Islam is gone?” Kelly was quoted as saying.

Obama is scheduled to spend May 23 in Dublin and the village of Moneygall, ancestral home of a great-great-great-grandfather who emigrated to the United States in 1850. Ireland is already ramping up a security operation involving 10,000 police and troops to protect both him and Queen Elizabeth II, who arrives Tuesday in Ireland for a four-day visit.

Kelly, a former Catholic altar boy from inner-city Dublin, converted to Islam while imprisoned in Saudi Arabia in 2000 for selling illegal alcohol…

    Way to go, Barack.  Not satisfied with stifling civil rights in his own country and its current crop of client dictatorships, he’s bringing the police state to Ireland as well. Not at all in keeping with his new found machismo since being “personally responsible” for offing Bin Laden.

    If Obama really wanted to build on the tough guy image, he should have challenged Kelly to a cage fight in Croke Park.  It would have been spectacular, a real lucha libre.  And he could have leveraged the Setanta Sport coverage for yet another press conference, about how he was for-real about not renewing Bush II’s tax cuts–THIS TIME.

    Moneygall! Well there’s a coincidence. Obama, like all US presidents, has the GALL to take MONEY from taxpayers and give it to BANKERS who spunked the money they borrowed from The Fed and from ‘investors’,  on lousy ‘investments’ thereby insulating the BANKERS from the reality that the taxpayer faces every day.

    Gambling does not pay unless you have someone who will give you the cash to gamble and NOT ask for it back. DOH!
