Previously I had provided here a lot of information about the source of the American hatred by a muslim "businessman" in Wisconsin, related to the Discount-Mats.com web site. Much information was very publicly availiable for anyone (including reporters) who wanted that information. Very suddenly, all that information has changed.

Once again, we're not dealing with a techno-illiterate American-hater here. We're dealing with someone who set up at least six related web sites that were very inactive. There were blogs that hadn't been touched in over a year, but were still registered. There were companies that appeared to have no inventory and no business. And they were all related to one another and a few other muslims who were openly critical of the US and openly hostile to America.

Overnight, all those domain registrations changed. That's not something that an average business owner who was trying to sell things over the internet would do -- especially to all the sites if they were not related. Something really stinks in WI, and it's not the fish. Folks, this is a battle for America, and we're currently losing.

Perhaps we need more people like the person who responded to the muslim like this:

Mr. Khetani:

If you and your family and friends think you can intimidate bloggers after we've posted about your abominable email response to our military Sgt. who was trying to buy some mats from Discount-mats.com, you've got another think coming. I've posted about you twice, so go ahead and try to delete my post, you jagoff. When will the Islamofascists begin fragging in their own militia units? It can't be soon enough.

We will collectively shut down all your businesses by halting all incoming commerce. U.S. bloggers will boycott all your businesses that we can find, and trust me on this one.... our internet access is unfettered (unlike that of the Muslim world, but which you enjoy here in the U.S.), and anything we discover about your businesses or affiliations with perceived terrorist organizations will not only be spread about the Internet, but also reported to the FBI and the JTTF. Don't know what JTTF is? Check that one out, too.

Good luck, Mr. Moooooslem.

Signed,
A proud American infidel who will fight for her friends' lives against enemies, both foreign and domestic.

And for the latest summary and updates, be sure to check Euphoric Reality who summarizes thusly:

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 many other questionable 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, three 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 four days - I thought it was worth taking the time to check into the background and affiliations of the Muslims invovled. What I’ve found so far is summarized below:

The Khetani Family

Faisal Khetani is 24 years old and lives with his parents, Ramzan and Amina Khetani, in West Allis. He operates his business out of their home.

Ramzan Khetani, age 55, is an engineer who works in the engineering department for Wisconsin’s state facilities. As such, he has ready access to building blueprints and site plans. Ramzan formerly operated a home-based business under the name Khetani Consulting Group, which he had established in 1999 and dissolved in March 2006.

Amina Khetani, age 55, is a data architect in the information technology industry.

Salman RamzanAli Khetani is Faisal’s older brother. He holds a Ph.D in Biomedical Engineering, and received a fellowship award from National Science Foundation (confirms the connection to Faisal - home address is the same). When you do a keyword search for Salman R Khetani, youÂ’ll find that Salman Khetani is quite knowledgable and involved in toxicity studies, engineered tissue, and disease studies.

Faisal Khetani has claimed that he “fired” the unnamed employee who sent the original rude email to SGT Hess, since the email didn’t reflect the company’s position. Then, he contradicted himself and confirmed that the company was indeed anti-war:

“As I told my local reporters, the individual who made those statements has been held responsible and liable and what they spoke of apo addresses is absolutely true, but the second half was their own personal opinion and not the opinions of the company.”

“I will say this, my company most certainly doesnÂ’t support the war, and we do hope that the policies will change.”

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.

In that same letter, Khetani also threatened Kirkland with unleashing the wrath of “major muslim organizations” on her for her “insults”. He closed by telling Kirkland, “you can be sure that there are million of muslim activists as well that will do something about your foul statements…. your statements against Muslims and your direct insults will not go unheard, I assure you.”

Perhaps one of those major Muslim organization is the Muslim Student Association (MSA), with which the Discount-Mats “VP” is affiliated. No doubt CAIR will get involved, by default.

Khetani Associates

Sajid Nasir is the vice-president and self-described co-owner of Discount-Mats. He has issued some strong statements alleging that the Khetani family is being harassed by vulgar and angry phone calls. Sajid is also a Muslim activist on the UW-Milwaukee campus (See Update Ten for more details on his activism.).

Ahmed Bushra, 24, is an engineering student. He claims he worked at, and managed, a North Shore jewelry store in Milwaukee.

Possible peripheral contacts, based upon association with Sajid Nasir:

Furqan Hanif (replacement registrant for Sajid’s website)

Adam Abdi (Muslim activist at UW-Milwaukee)

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.

2. Inter-connected and inter-linked to one another.

3. Four sites share a Paypal account under the name “Bargain Suppliers” (WLWR, BDP, QDS, DM)

4. Share same website template.

5. Identical configuration.

generic junk content

junk resources and links

basic contact form (email address and message only - for discreet online communication?)

email subscription form

many empty pages/dead links

set-up and abandoned blog sites

6. Jan 24 07: all sites changed WhoIS registry to anonymous registrant (with the exception of Discount-Mats and Quality-Discount-Scooters).

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 to an American soldier.

So I’m asking…is all this just about some smarmy internet scam artists? Or it this about a covert communication network between jihadis, money laundering, drug or arms smuggling, or a home-grown terror cell? I want to know. I’m not wrong for asking, but if my conclusions are wrong, then I’ll think about apologizing, right after Faisal Khetani sincerely apologizes to SGT Jason Hess and the fine troops of the 1st Cavalry Division.
