Intelligence agencies in the United States and Canada are warning of mounting signs that Hezbollah, backed by Iran, is poised to mount a terror attack against "Jewish targets" somewhere outside the Middle East.
Intelligence officials tell ABC News the group has activated suspected "sleeper cells" in Canada and key operatives have been tracked moving outside the group's Lebanon base to Canada, Europe and Africa.
Officials say Hezbollah is seeking revenge for the February assassination of Hezbollah's military commander, Imad Mugniyah, killed by a car bomb in Damascus, Syria.
The group's leaders blamed Israel, an allegation denied by Israeli officials.
There is no credible information on a specific target, according to the officials.
Suspected Hezbollah operatives have conducted recent surveillance on the Israeli embassy in Ottawa, Canada and on several synagogues in Toronto, according to the officials.

If the Canadians mention the name of the terrorist group in their bulletins, they will be charged with ISLAMOPHOBIA/hate speech by their Human Rights organizations

When (probably) Israel attacks a legitimate military target (military leadership), Muslims respond by attacking civilian targets with innocent women and children (synagogues.)
Every day it is a challenge to differentiate “Islam” and “Terrorist.”

I believe it. There are 25,000 “Canadians” living in Lebanon. These are people who have obtained a citizenship of convenience but continue to live in their homeland, Lebanon. During the Israel conflict last year, the Canadian gov’t sent a ship to rescue them. They complained that it took too long and was not confortable enough. Bet 95% are all back living in Lebanon.

We can be sure that if the Canadian news media, or any ‘rogue’ journalists dare to broadcast or print something less than complimentary about these terrorist sleeper cells and/or ‘religion of peace’, that the various ‘human rights tribunals’ from BC to Nova Scotia will arise as one to defend the honor (har har) of ‘allah’.
Puppets of the ‘prophet’ at work.
Ask Mark Steyn about that.

It's easy.
"Islam" is a term which refers to terrorists who have not yet donned their suicide bomb vests on a mission to "Go boom-boom short time".
"Terrorists" is the term which refers to the above individuals after they yank the wire on their bomb vest.
Harsh?
The Koran calls for all infidels to be converted or killed. That sounds like terrorism to me. Some say that not all Muslims are terrorists, but on 9/11, all the terrorists were *Muslims*.
What's not to understand?

Imanutjob is smarter than to attack while President Bush is in still in power.
Most likely wait to see if his brother Obama is elected.

I worked on the drawings for the then Citicorp building back in ‘73 - ‘74 when it was being built. Through the years I have lost touch with it and have no idea who owns it now. I guess I’m a little startled by seeing the building as a possible target. I do remember how it is framed so good luck, this one won’t come down as easy.

I say get an injunction against them preventing them from causign harm to anyone...or a harassment restraiing order...or an order for protection...that way the policy can get them for violating the order when they attack!
