Hours before his arrest outside a popular Detroit-area mosque, a 63-year-old California man held court at a nearby sports bar, telling an employee that he was a Vietnam veteran-turned Muslim holy warrior, that he planned to set off a “big explosion,” and that he was “going to be part of making history,” the employees said Monday.
...was wearing a Vietnam War veteran hat and said he is a Muslim and a member of an Indonesian mujahedeen group,...
...He allegedly threatened to murder the president _ who at the time was George W. Bush _ saying he was going to “whack the bastard.”...
...Nahhas described Stockham as “intelligent,” “serious” and “jubilant.” He spoke a few words of Arabic to Nahhas, who is a Lebanon native and speaks Arabic. He said he set up a laptop computer in the bar and told employees he was writing letters to be sent to the media after the explosion...
On June 27, 1985, Roger Dale Stockham threw a pipe bomb into a garbage can outside the Reno Cannon International Airport.
The then 38-year-old decorated Vietnam War pilot called the FBI and the Reno Gazette-Journal and told them what he’d done, identifying himself with a self-given Muslim name. Minutes earlier, a female janitor had heard the bomb ticking and pulled it out. It was safely disarmed while the airport was evacuated.
Man arrested with fireworks
near Detroit mosque claims to be
Muslim, part of jihad group
Whoops!
Thats "gonna leave a mark!"
For more than 25 years this guy has identified himself as a Muslim, and even has a Muslim name although the media isn’t revealing that.
Are you serious? The guy is bipolar and on meds. He spoke a few words of Arabic and that makes him a Muslim? You a laugh riot.

During his Reno trial, residents learned Stockham was a helicopter pilot serving in the Vietnam War in 1968 for 13 months. He was awarded the Bronze Star and Flying Cross awards. Upon his release from the military, he was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and believed the war was immoral, connected to U.S. oil interests and was a hidden effort to kill Muslim Indonesians.
Dyed in the wool leftist wacko like all the others if you ask me.
Didn't we drop M-80's on Japan?
DEARBORN, Mich. — The California man accused of plotting to blow up a Detroit-area mosque rejected his court-appointed counsel Friday, upset that the attorney is a Shiite Muslim and a “patron” of the Islamic centre where he was arrested.
Roger Stockham, 63, standing in handcuffs and wearing an olive drab jail-issued jumpsuit in a Dearborn courtroom, rejected defence attorney Mark Haidar and was appointed a new attorney during a hearing to determine whether there is probable cause to try him. The hearing was then delayed until next Friday so that new attorney Matthew Evans could prepare.
Stockham, who has described himself as a Vietnam War vet-turned-Islamic holy warrior, has a history of violent run-ins with the law dating back to the 1970s. He faces charges of making a false report or threat of terrorism and one count of possessing explosives with an unlawful intent after being arrested Jan. 24 near the Islamic Center of America in Dearborn.
“I reject my appointed counsel. He is a Shiite,” Stockham said, referring to a sect of Islam practiced at the Dearborn mosque, one of the nation’s largest. “He is a patron of the mosque.”
There are two main sects within Islam, Shiite and Sunni. The schism between Sunni and Shiite stems from the early days of Islam and arguments over the Prophet Muhammad’s successors as the faith’s spiritual leader.
Haidar didn’t attend Friday’s hearing because he was out of town. In a telephone interview, he said he had told Stockham about his faith and that he has attended services at the mosque. He said he was surprised by Stockham’s decision.
“The judge probably shouldn’t be listening to someone with his mental history,” Haidar said. “I would think he shouldn’t be the one making the decision at this point.”
What Mosque did he belong to? I'm assuming they found his Koran somewhere?
Does the fact that he thought the war was immoral due to attacks on Muslims yet he packs a car full of M-80s to kill a bunch of Muslims. He's not a muslim. He is a vet who suffers from PTSD and bi-polar disorder, or crudely put... he is nuts.
