Discount-Mats.com
In case you're looking for a place NOT to buy mats, Discount-Mats.com is a place to avoid. In case you haven't gotten the various emails that are making the rounds, this place openly admits it's scorn and hatred of the United States troops in Iraq. And no, this isn't one where they can claim they're supporting the troops, because they openly declare that they wouldn't even ALLOW the troops to purchase their products.
From Snopes:Below is an email exchange between a friend of mine's husband and a company that sells different types of mats. He is stationed in Iraq and was inquiring as to whether or not the company ships overseas. He wanted to get the troops better gear to sleep on. This is the companies response. I am floored. I am floored as a military wife and as an American. Please repost this so that this company will hear us loud and clear that we do not stand for this. Whatever your view is on this war - these troops are just following orders. Most are passionate about what they are doing. You can disagree with the war without disrespecting our troops.
From: SGT Jason Hess Sent: Tue Jan 16 3:25 Do you ship to APO addresses? I'm in the1st Cavalry Division stationed in Iraq and we are trying to order some mats but we are looking for who ships to APO first. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- From: contact@discount-mats.com

Subject: Re: Feedback: from discount-mats.com SGT Hess,
We do not ship to APO addresses, and even if we did, we would NEVER ship to Iraq. If you were sensible, you and your troops would pull out of Iraq. Bargain Suppliers

Strangely enough, if you try to go to their web site now, it says, "Discount-Mats.com is Experiencing Technical Difficulties..." Good. Miserable bums. *** Update:
Welcome new readers! If you found this site via a search engine and like what you see, be sure to follow the link at the top of the page to the main page and see what else we're talking about. Recently a site that provided a large amount of public information about these anti-American Pakistanis has been hacked as they attempted to hide the information from being exposed to the public. To help spread the word about this information, I will be mirroring updates from Euphoric Reality from time-to-time. Here's a few:
The Muslim Website Connection
UPDATE 1 Jan 21 1226:
The company’s domain is registered to:
Faisal Khetani
PO Box 270693
Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53227
Administrative Contact:
3259 S.106th Street
Khetani, Faisal sportsfitness@gmail.com
West Allis, Wisconsin 53227
United States
(414) 543-9634 Fax
Site is down and experiencing technical difficulties
UPDATE 2: Jan 21 :
Since the Discount Mats website is still down with technical difficulties, here is another avenue of approach:
Faisal Khetani is also a supposed fitness expert/consultant and publisher of some fitness publications like the Dream Body newsletter. His other website is Weight Lifting Workout Routines. Another email address is: contact@weight-lifting-workout-routines.com
Another phone number: 414-736-8394
This additional venture of Khetani’s is also registered to the same above contact information. It’s definitely the same guy.
UPDATE 3: Jan 21
Snopes has since qualified their entry with this statement (as of this afternoon):
Since we’ve only heard from one side, we can’t yet rule out the possibility (as occurred with a similar email) that Sgt. Hess may have received a response from someone who was not authorized to be corresponding with the business’ customers.
They’ve also changed the button from green (”True”
to yellow to indicate “a statement of undetermined or ambiguous veracity”.
However, if the company owner wished to clear his good company’s name, and blame some nameless, faceless non-authorized employee, wouldn’t he respond to the inquiries by Snopes?
UPDATE 4: Jan 22
Faisal Khetani’s websites are all linked together, and are also linked to Quality Discount Scooters owned by Ahmed Bushra and Basketball Drills and Plays owned by Sajid Nasir.

Now there are some interesting coincidences about all these websites owned by Muslims who happen to all live in the Milwaukee area. The sports sites, one owned by Faisal and the other owned by Sajid are the exact same format and established the same month. They are nothing more than low-grade generic copy-and-paste sports information. The blogs were set up with a few token blog entries, with generic links (one even uses the sample Wordpress links that come with the blog), and then abandoned. Likewise, the Discount Mats and Discount Scooters sites share similar formatting and generic links.
So what’s the deal with these mostly fake websites? I’m just askin’…
If I lived in the Milwaukee area, I’d be doin’ more than askin’…I’d be driving by the addresses above to see what’s what with those locations.
UPDATE 5: Jan 23
The VP of Discount Mats also happens to be the owner of Basketball Drills and Plays, Sajid Nasir. These Muslims are all inter-connected through their bogus websites. Interesting…
As well, Faisal Khetani, 24, runs his business out of his home, where he lives with his parents, Ramzan and Amina Khetani (both aged 55). (Ramzan Khetani works for the State of Wisconsin in their engineering department for state facilities. Does that ring any alarms for anyone?) His parents have been sure to tell the media that they “support the troops.” But Khetani has not bothered to say anything like that. However, we’re meant to believe Khetani when he says he “fired” that “employee”. Whatever. Let’s not be naive: there was no employee. His so-called business (which I’m thinking is not legit) is run out of his home, for pete’s sake.
UPDATE 6: Jan 23
Snopes has changed their classification again to “True” (green button). As well, they have updated their webpage with some stern statements from his buddy and so-called VP, Sajid Nasir:
“It’s really getting out of control,” said Nasir, who described the messages as “angry and vulgar.”
UPDATE 7: Jan 23
Fox picked up the story, as did Rush Limbaugh in his first hour today, and Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.
UPDATE 8: Jan 23
From Newsbusters, who picked up this story two days later with no attribution to the bloggers (US!) who did all the work on outing this guy, but only cited the Milwaukee Journal and Fox:
Khetani claims that the person responsible for this ignorant affront to a US soldier was fired. In a recent communication with Miss. Kirkland, Khetani said “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.”
Khetani also confirmed, though, that he and the members of his company are also against the efforts in Iraq which seems to contradict his first claim that the fired employee’s email didn’t represent the company.
I will say this, my company most certainly doesn’t support the war, and we do hope that the policies will change. However the personal opinions stated by the former member of Discount-Mats.com were very strong and personal and other members within our company certainly feel that his actions were not justified.
Let us hope that this man’s company finds a corresponding measure of “success” in equal levels with his support for the country to which he has immigrated in order to make his fortune.
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.”
Threats, indeed. Bring it on, Muslim.
UPDATE 9: Jan 23 1329
I’ve found another bogus website affiliated with this Muslim group: Jewelry Spot, set up by 24 year-old engineering student Ahmed Bushra in June of ‘06, and like the other blogs, abandoned soon thereafter.

UPDATE TEN: Jan 23 1355 Tip from 1st Cav RVN (thank you, darlin’!)
Sajid Nasir, the so-called VP for Discount-Mats, is also a Muslim activist at UW-Milwaukee:
Classification: Social Action
American Society of Muslim Students (Check out that link and this one!)
Mail: Union Box 297
Office: Union 355
229-3078
Contacts:
Adam Abdi
Sajid Nasir
Email: muhamma2@uwm.edu
Purpose: Promotion of the teachings of Al-Islam in conjunction with UWM standards.
Activities: Lectures, seminars, forums, sales, exhibition, conventions, gatherings.
He penned this pungent missive to the Badger Herald:
Letters to the Editor
Thursday, February 16, 2006
Printing of cartoon hateful
After I heard that your newspaper reprinted the cartoons, I was deeply disturbed and sadened [sic]. I couldn’t help but ask, “why would they do something like this…why do they hate us?” I thought the university environment was supposed to encourage diversity, and learning, not bigetory [sic] and hatred. I personally demand that your paper appologizes [sic], and admits its mistake by reprinting the hatefull [sic] cartoons.
Sajid Nasir
UW-Milwaukee
As well, and in addition to the basketball drills and plays website, Nasir runs Yoga-Advice: another generic, copy-and-paste junk info website (with a dead blog, too):
Yoga-Advice
Milwaukee,WI 53212
Contact: Sajid Nasir
1020 E Pleasant St
Phone: 414-324-0427
How many bogus websites is that now? SIX?
UPDATE 11: Jan 23 1500
Faisal Khetani’s brother, Salman RamzanAli Khetani, is a Ph.D. with a B.S. in Electrical and Biomedical Engineering from my alma mater, Marquette University, and a fellowship award honorable mention from the National Science Foundation. When you do a google search for Salman Khetani, you’ll find that Salman Khetani is quite knowledgable and involved in toxicity studies, engineered tissue, and disease studies. Might be nothing. At the very least, it’s… interesting.
(H/T to Euphoric Reality). In addition, Ms Underestimated has some video coverage.

unprofessional, filled with hatred employee,
and dismissed him for this despicable act,
I believe this is sole responsibility of the owner, to train properly his employees no to act
so unprofessional, and to select right employees
to work for him/her. Therefore, just
conveniently firing the stupid employee is too little too late for the owner. He should take full responsibility for that as well. If I was the owner...well but I'm not. Let's see what else is he/she going to do after conveniently firing the employee?

Mr Talibani or watever your name is how bout this , why dont you get out of MY country, Quit BILKING my tax dollars by giving your buisnesses to your family members after 7 years so that you can get that bs break from our government that you all bash all the time and then use that money to buy up all inner city businesses here in milwaukee.
Another funny thing is watching these guys use our laws and our rights like freedom of speech to defend their comments and actions.
People need to start waking the hell up in this country.

I see no one getting upset about other statements companies put on letterheads or state in their replies. I really hate to see that "Jesus Saves" crap on company letterheads and stuff, but I don't go out crying about it. They (discount-mats.com) are anti-war, that is their right...doesn't matter if the ownners are, Muslim, Christian or whatever. They have freedom of speech, and you have freedom of choice, you can choose not to buy from them.
Your comments in your site make you sound like a redneck, muslim hating christian. You make the word muslim out likes it's a nationality, when in fact it is not...there are plenty of "white,American" muslims.
This is what happens when a military spouse gets to much free time on her hands and a computer, maybe you should have directed your enegry at seeing about getting free mats for the troops, instead of creating a web-page of useless, almost slanderous remarks about Muslims.
I am a US Troop and while I don't agree with discount-mats.com thoughts on the war, but I do love the fact that they are able to state them.
Posted by: Dale at January 24, 2007 03:04 PM (G7Dx2)
Oh my god, are you 12 years old? You really have to be kidding me. You do realize that Muslims have been around long long before anyone had even thought about the US...remember when we thought the world was flat? Yea, well Muslims were around. Remember the Holy War? Yep we got Muslims. I'm no S Hawkins but I'm pretty sure the only people living in the UNITED STATED at those times were Indians (or you might call them savages seeing your level of eductaion).
Posted by: Dale at January 24, 2007 03:22 PM (G7Dx2)
You are not a US Troop, your full of your liberal mind. these people take swords an cut people heads off for fun, soldier of god, what a bull. They started the holy war, back in 200 bc and ended in 300 ad on a stail mate.

I just have a question.
The Fed surely knows CAIR is a front organization for terror states/cells/individuals.
The President clearly stated after 9/11 that we would find them no matter where and deal with terrorists.
Yet CAIR is allowed to operate here.
So, considering the above, is the Fed not complicit in aiding and abetting?
