Update: Man Who Wanted to Blow up Dearborn Mosque Says He’s a Muslim Convert, Served Time in Jail for Threatening to Kill Bush…
Dashing the hopes of CAIR and the left who wanted this guy to be a “right-wing extremist,” the fact is he’s completely insane.
Dearborn — A decorated Army veteran accused of plotting to blow up a Metro Detroit mosque served time in federal prison for threatening to kill President George W. Bush and bomb a Vermont veterans’ clinic in 2002.
Roger Stockham, 63, who flew 600 combat helicopter missions in Vietnam, is behind bars in Michigan after he drove from his home in California last week and parked a car with a trunk full of explosives outside the Islamic Center of America, authorities said.
A psychiatric examination found that Stockham suffered from bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and personality disorder with anti-social features.
In the Vermont incident, he told authorities at the time of his arrest at a Veterans Affairs Department complex in Colchester that his minivan was full of explosives. A search found no explosives.
Before the arrest, Stockham called a local paper twice to say he was going to explode bombs in the neighborhood. In one call, he identified himself as “Hem Ahadin,” saying he was “a local Muslim terrorist on a roll.”
In May 2005, a federal order of conditional release was issued for Stockham. It said the warden of the U.S. Medical Center for Federal Prisoners in Springfield, Miss., certified that Stockham had recovered from his mental disease and that his conditioned release under a regimen of treatments would not create a risk of bodily injury or harm to others.
He left federal lockup in September 2005.
Just two weeks ago, Stockham was on Facebook, posting a rambling statement in which he again refers to himself as “Hem Ahadin,” calling it his Muslim name.

What does a mosque smell like during a crowded worship service?
I have driven by that building several times. It is pretty big.
Can someone explain to me how a carload of consumer grade fireworks is going to blow this building up?
The Detroit papers are making a joke out of this.
Agree w/ Fukitol – it’s a very big building – there are not enough M80s in the world to “blow it up”.
And this guy, “flew 600 missions”?
Is there anyone we can rely on to give us facts? (other than Zip!)
The left is desperate to pin something nasty on the Tea Parties. With every false accusation they lose credibility.
he again refers to himself as “Hem Ahadin,”

So what was a devout Muslim doing in a Bar? Isn’t that where the story started?
.
Zip, Zip, Zip…it doesn’t matter what he really is. It only matters what the liberal media says he is.
/lessons I learned from the left
Fail , again Leftards!
A Muslim convert who served time for threatening to kill Bush–sounds like a Palin disciple to me!
Another tidbit that matches up. Look at the aliases in both cases; “Hem Ahadin” (2011) vs “Hemaredin” (1985).
Also note the part at the end where he attempted to hijack a plane TO Iran in 1979.

July 02, 1985
The FBI has issued an arrest warrant for Roger Dale Stockham, 38, who, agents said, has used several false names in the past, including “Roger Hemaredin,” a name similar to one given to a newspaper in Reno by a caller claiming responsibility for the bomb.

Two years later, after continued treatment for mental problems, Stockham reportedly kidnaped his son from a foster home in Santa Barbara, rented a light plane and flew to Los Angeles International Airport, where he contacted the control tower, reported that he had “a bomb, a pistol and a 9-year-old boy” on board and demanded a jetliner to fly him to Iran.

Zip says… the fact is he’s completely insane.

I’ll say! He CONVERTED to islam for crying out loud. Who in their right mind does such a thing.
Nice work, gastorgrab. I’m surprised the media hasn’t picked up on that, but perhaps they’re too busy emphasizing his Army service to make him appear like a right-wing extremist.

He was a Muslim, he said, having been converted when he was in Indonesia in the 1970s in “prison,” although news reports say he worked there for a private helicopter company.
No shocker here, after reading the posts on this guy here at WZ the other day, it was pretty obvious. Maybe he was going to kill some “false muslims” for Allah?
Wait! Now CAIR can come to his rescue!!
Yep, this guy is a converted Muslim:

I am keeping a list of “fake hate crimes”. I have come across more than 20 in about 2 months.
Move along folks,nothing to see here.Once again our domestic terrorism security system (sheer luck)worked .

A typical muslim, all shite and hot air. All promise and no performance.
A “personality disorder with anti-social features”…..ooh, can you order them from a list? Which ones did he get? The article doesn’t say.
zipper mouth: {Dashing the hopes of CAIR and the left who wanted this guy to be a “right-wing extremist,” the fact is he’s completely insane.}
Actually the terms ‘completely insane’ and ‘right wing extremist’ are mutually inclusive. Leftists actually believe in the freedom of religion, unlike the Islamaphobes around this nuthouse.
