Evil is not a color.
It has no particular religion nor creed, nor style of dress, nor gender nor geographic home. Evil is an equal opportunity employer.
One hopes we learn at least that much from the adventures of Jihad Jane.
That, according to federal prosecutors, is the name Colleen LaRose used when she went online to say how desperate she was to do something to help Muslims. That desperation allegedly led her deep into the shadowy world of fundamentalist extremism.
LaRose, prosecutors say, used the Internet to recruit would-be terrorists. She allegedly sought to kill a Swedish artist who had angered Muslims by depicting the Prophet Muhammad with a dog's body. LaRose is also said to have agreed to marry one of her conspirators. According to the indictment, she wrote that it would be an honor & great pleasure to die or kill for her intended....
Which ought to serve as a rebuke to the guy standing in the airport security line grumbling at how the TSA agent is running his wand over some dewy-eyed grandmother who obviously isn't a threat. Even more, it should rebuke pundits like Cal Thomas, Ann Coulter and Kathleen Parker, who, in the wake of 9/11, argued for ethnic profiling in airport security. Pat down swarthy, bearded young men with Middle Eastern accents and exotic headgear, they said, and leave the rest of us alone.
Jihad Jane is the reason that's a dumb idea... She is, literally, a citizen of Main Street, USA,... Until... she disappeared... with her boyfriend's passport, which she allegedly intended to give to her terrorist fiance...
...But as demonstrated by LaRose, by convicted terrorists Richard Reid, Jose Padilla and John Walker Lindh, and any number of others here and abroad, terror comes in both genders and all cultures and shades...

Yeah, just ask Leonard Pitts. Wand those white people! Cuff Cal Thomas, and wand him and frisk him and goose him and rabbit-punch him until blood comes out of his mouth and nose! That will teach his uppity white ass!
Leonard Pitts is a bigtime black racist. I'm amazed that anyone still pays any attention to anything he writes.
If it were up to him, every white person on this continent would be in a labor camp. Preferably the kind you don't come back from.
That’s 1, Leonard.
Family of woman (Jamie Paulin-Ramirez) held in a terrorism inquiry speaks out (Denver Post March 14, 2010)
Except there is a unifying ideology that ties the Ft. Hood shooter to the shoe bomber, to the Tampa Teen kamikaze, to the Army recuiting shooting, to the LAX shooting, to the Seattle Jewish Community center shooting, to the anthrax attacks, to the 9-11 attacks, to these two women, and John Walker.
One that Leonard is too reluctant to admit.
Pitts is a total racist IMHO; read the story and you’ll note that the thrust of his article is that the Jihad Jane phenomenon thoroughly justifies the continued harrassment of whites at airports by, of course, the non-white security people who of course, harbor their own racist resentments. It’s all about “in your face” screw whitey at every turn, per usual. And of course if you stand up to the racist goons, you’re labeled a racist because you don’t want one of “theirs” feeling up you blond wife/daughter.
Child rape charge rocks TSA (The Boston Herald.com ^ | 3-15-10 | ORyan Johnson)
A Transportation Security Agency worker who pats down members of the flying public was charged with multiple child sex crimes targeting an underage girl yesterday. The bust outraged privacy and passenger advocates who say it justifies their fears about Logan International Airports full-body scanner.
Oh, yeah....all wrong;
and then of course, within the next few years he’ll be out jail and teaching school in Rio Linda or South Florida.
