Buddhists or Scientologists?

I’m not going to touch this one.

Angry Amish?

Murderous Methodists?

Or white men in pickup trucks?

Do I get more guesses??

[OrioleFan]

Obama will take credit for this, ..., then give orders that they be released as part of his “Appology to Terrorists Program”.

[Vinnie]

Just heard on the radio that the FBI is on a raid in Johnston Co. (SE of Raleigh) as we type.

Related? don’t know at the moment.

[SAJ]

They sound Amish to me.

LOL...beat me to it.

[FreedomPoster]

That list is lighter on folks with “Mohammad” in their names than I might have expected.

Daniel Patrick Boyd, 39

An Irishman? That's sad.

Mennonites or Moravians?

Buddhists or Scientologists?

Ammonites

[Constitution Day]

Trilobites!

[Zeppelin]

Since he fought in Afghanistan from 1989-92, will the media be portraying the ringleader as a “veteran-turned-terrorist after returning from the war in Afghanistan?”

you know, to help validate that CIA report...

[Oldeconomybuyer]

The charges are related to allegations that they helped raise money and provide training for terrorism operations in Tel Aviv, Israel.

[Lazamataz]

Trilobites!

Tribble bites!

Mennonites or Moravians?

Nope! Mormon bike riding missionaries.

What Broad?

[Insert Helen Thomas Pic here]?

Nah...I am not THAT mean... ; )

[a fool in paradise]

Beat me to it.

[Constitution Day]

They are nothing but trouble!

[a fool in paradise]

The Democrats’ plot to kidnap delegates and firebomb the RNC convention in 2008 didn’t make national headlines.

[4woodenboats]

....David Boyd traveled to Gaza...attempted to enter Palestine in order to introduce his son to individuals who also believed that violent jihad was a personal religous belief...

Didn't H & O just send their Pals close to a bilion dollars?

[Constitution Day]

Oh yeah. But of course, that’s not “meddling”...is it?

[Myrddin]

An Irishman? That's sad.

It was the Irish Republican Army that taught the Palestinian terrorists the fine art of making truck bombs. They're not all good guys.

[Vinnie]

Willow Springs, NC.

Instead of a raid , simply tell the good ole boys in Johnston Co. “there’s terrorists in that house” and they would handle it.

[Snickering Hound]

Thankfully those Lutheran extremists were stopped before they forced lutefisk on the rest of the world...

[AuntB]

“It was the Irish Republican Army that taught the Palestinian terrorists the fine art of making truck bombs. They’re not all good guys. “

There are 50,000 illegal alien Irish in this country clamoring for amnesty, 30,000 of them in California. I wonder how many of them are IRA supporters.

[ScreamingFist]

The indictment also alleges that Daniel Boyd obtained a variety of weapons in furtherance of the conspiracy to murder persons overseas and provide material support to terrorists. These included a Bushmaster M4A3 rifle that Boyd allegedly received illegally via interstate commerce in 2006, as well as an ETA M16 V System C-MAG that he purchased in 2006. In 2007, he allegedly purchased a Ruger mini 14 long gun. During 2008, the indictment alleges that Boyd purchased a Mossburg 100 ATR .270 rifle, a Llama Camanche III .357 revolver, a Century Arms AK Sporter 7.62 X 39 rifle and a Ruger mini 30 7.62 X 39 rifle. During 2009, Boyd allegedly purchased a Ishmash SAGA .308 rifle, a Century Arms Polish Tantal 5.45 X 39 rifle, a Century Arms C91 rifle .308, a Century Arms M70B1 7.62 X 34 rifle, a Ruger mini 14 5.56 rifle, and a Smith & Wesson MP15 .223 rifle.

I don't see a single illegal firearm here.

[HonestConservative]

YOU sound Amish to me.

[suijuris]

I don't see a single illegal firearm here.

Except for the M4A3, none seem to be the types of firearms a serious terorist or profesional might use. Yes, they will work, but I would imagine higher quality, more effective firearms for those fanatical about doing the job right.

[OldDeckHand]

"I don't see a single illegal firearm here. "

It doesn't have anything to do with the legality of the firearms per se, although I do believe at least one of the co-conspirators was a convicted felon, so he couldn't even be around a firearm. But, when there is an allegation of a criminal conspiracy, and that allegation is enhanced by virtue of a firearm being involved in furtherance of the intended crime, then the firearms themselves should be detailed in the indictment, if they have that information available.

This is just a case of experienced prosecutors dotting their "I"s and crossing their "T"'s.

[mollynme]

Since he fought in Afghanistan from 1989-92, will the media be portraying the ringleader as a “veteran-turned-terrorist after returning from the war in Afghanistan?”

From the blog referenced in #14:

According to the indictment, during the period from 1989 through 1992, Daniel Boyd traveled to Pakistan and Afghanistan where he received military-style training in terrorist training camps for the purpose of engaging in violent jihad. Following this training, he allegedly fought in Afghanistan.

Sounds like he was a Taliban "vet".

But this morning Daniel Boyd and his wife, Sabrina, also known as Saifullah Abu Laith and Umm Mohammed, are a long way from football games and homecoming dances. They are sitting in the dusty office of the superintendent of the Peshawar Central Jail...

“U.S. DOJ confirms 7 people in North Carolina charged with conspiring to murder, kidnap, maim and injure persons abroad.”

I am guessing it’s those crazy Presbyterians again.

[Zeppelin]

Yeah, I assumed so.

My comment was (half) joking that the media would spin it as though he was a US vet, not a Taliban fighter.

[saganite]

I am guessing it’s those crazy Presbyterians again.

In keeping with the theme of this thread you must submit an alliterative response. Pusillanimous Presbyterians would do.
