Scratch the surface of a "moderate muslim" and find the tip of the iceberg
Visit http://euphoricreality.com/ to read this entire report. It is eye-opening, to put it mildly and thoroughly fascinating.
And also a testament to the power of the blogger and the internet in the hands of the right kind of people.
Just imagine what's going on under our very noses?
A guideline going forward:
THE MORE NORMAL IT SEEMS, THE CLOSER YOU HAVE TO LOOK

One week ago, when one of our soldiers emailed several retailers to inquire about their shipping policies for APOs, he had no idea what would follow. He only wanted to get sleeping mats for his troops who had to sleep on the ground. Instead, as has been reported extensively, he received a rude response from a company, Discount-Mats, with an admonition to "pull out of Iraq."
When I published the story on Sunday, I, like many others, first assumed that the business owner was merely an anti-war liberal who wanted to score a cheap political point at the expense of our soldiers. The business was immediately inundated with thousands of emails and phone calls from Americans upset by how rudely our soldier was rebuffed. I, myself, emailed three times to say I disapproved of their policies and that it was very bad for business and that I would be sure to spread the word far and wide. The website was experiencing technical difficulties by Monday and then was completely shut down.
Prior to the website’s demise, I looked it over thoroughly. I immediately discovered that the owner of the website was Faisal Khetani, who lived in West Allis, WI - near Milwaukee. I also discovered several other websites that Discount-Mats.com was connected to (more on that later).
Faisal Khetani is a Muslim, of Pakistani origin, which somewhat explains his anti-war views but not his unconscionable rudeness. Now, two days after this story hit the blogosphere, the media is making a victim out of Khetani, chiding bloggers and radio hosts for fomenting the emails and traffic that overwhelmed his website. The media hasn’t bothered to look any deeper at who Faisal Khetani is, who his associates are that are involved in his business(es), or who his family is. I’ve done all of the above over the past three days and what I’ve found so far is summarized...

Faisal has claimed to the media that Discount-Mats has ten employees - and they’ve accepted his claim at face value. They've also reported that the unnamed employee was fired, without verifying if there was an employee. Considering the business is operated from his parents’ home, it is highly doubtful that there is an "employee", and it’s likely that the email was from Faisal himself. There are no businesses with the name Discount Mats or Bargain Suppliers (or any variation thereof) registered in the state of Wisconsin. A search of the worker's compensation database shows no company by those names either. It is not a legitimate business, nor does it have employees. Faisal Khetani is not telling the truth - that makes him suspect.

Bogus Websites
There is an ever-increasing network of Muslim-owned websites that share the same characteristics:
1. Owned by Muslim men in their mid-20s, who live in the Milwaukee area (Dhimmisota - Ellison Country).

Faisal Khetani owns several wildly divergent business websites:
Faisal Khetani, in addition to owning Discount-Mats.com, is also a supposed fitness expert/consultant: Weight Lifting Workout Routines (WLWR).
He also owns Chicago Plumbing Guide, registered under the name Salman Farsi, but the same P.O. address in Milwaukee as Faisal’s other domains. This website links Faisal to the plumbing industry. (Note: What’s interesting about the choice of Salman Farsi as the registrant is that Farsi was the first Persian convert to Islam, and is credited for transcribing much of the Q’uran. However, I cannot find a live person by that name anywhere in Wisconsin, though there are plenty of buildings named after him. Conclusion? Alias.)
In addition to selling discount mats, writing weight-lifting, fat-burning and basketball drills articles, and plumbing in Chicago, Faisal, at 24, is also a self-proclaimed e-commerce expert, an online scam network marketer, and a real estate tycoon with an eye toward importing “high-volume quantities”, specifically wrist watches. Capital Renovations is a registered LLC in the state of Wisconsin. He is a very busy young man.
Sajid Nasir owns several junk info websites:
Basketball Drills and Plays. This site was registered to Sajid, but changed today to reflect a new registrant: Furqan Hanif in Springfield, IL. But they neglected to change to contact phone number - it’s still the same. Faisal is also connected to this website.
My Kitchen Backsplash. This article links him to this website, though the WhoIs record was modified today as well. This and this also link Faisal Khetani to Sajid’s website.
Yoga-Advice. Though the WhoIs registry was changed, this yoga registry, listing Sajid’s website and home address, was not.
Ahmed Bushra, 24, also owns several bogus websites:
Quality Discount Scooters. Shares a Paypal account with Discount-Mats.
Jewelry Spot.

Conclusion:
It is my considered opinion that the intricate network of websites I listed is a facade - a front, if you will - for something other than selling “bargain supplies.” Anyone looking at the websites can see that they are not legitimate businesses. I think the anomalies I’ve summarized here, and the Muslims involved, require further investigation.
Furthermore, the Khetani family is highly qualified in some very technical and unusual fields, with an extraordinary amount of access to sensitive information. It would be worth checking to see what their affiliations are, if their mosque is radicalized, and who their contacts are.
This network of Muslim individuals was brought to public attention because of one Muslim’s outrageous response to a simple inquiry by one of our soldiers. It would be the height of irony if nefarious purposes were exposed because he couldn’t refrain from announcing his anti-American sentiments.
