Dawud Walid, executive director of the Council on Islamic-American Relations of Michigan, on Sunday said that the FBI foiled a plot to attack and kill Muslim-Americans.

Walid was attending the group's 10th anniversary banquet in Dearborn, Michigan where the Rev. Jesse L. Jackson was keynote speaker.

Muslim leaders in Chicago are "following developments of the arrests with great interest and concern," says Ahmed Rehab, Executive Director of CAIR Chicago.

"If some of the initial reports are true. Then, these radical groups are a chilling indication that anti-Muslim hysteria in some circles may be developing into stages of organized terroristic activity," Rehab said Sunday night.

Late Sunday, on the Hutaree message board, an apparent member of the group wrote about how the FBI came into their home and that she and one child escaped. "The Federal Authorities have raided not only our group but also the Michigan Militia. They have hijacked their website and placed word there that they were not raided" wrote the woman named Anna.

The Michigan Militia indeed reported on Sunday that it's members had not been subjected to raids or arrest. It is unclear whether this is accurate.

The Hutaree message board author further reported: "We need some help please. This has to stop. I am enroute south with my children using the wifi's as I can. They were catching others as they came to their rallying points, they broke into homes and took children and used the tasers on wives, my son who is 12 and I got out by crawling through the creeks behind our house. My husband and others are taken, please call the press and tell them, if any in the Michigan Militia is still free please rally with them. Please help."

Anyone can call themselves a self appointed defender of Christianity. We have a covenant with Christ for peace and justice.

[rbosque]

Precisely.

Anti-Muslim plot?
What of the anti-American plots by the Islamic crazies?
Oh wait, Eric Holder is busy reading them Miranda rights, and getting them expensive lawyers at tax payers expense.

Feds can catch some “dangerous” hillbillies running around in the woods but they are clueless - even with multiple warnings - prior to muslims hijacking airliners and flying them into American buildings, killing thousands. That’s rich.

You-said-it bump!

Uh, does the name Timothy McVeigh ring a bell? White, Christian guy? Oklahoma City? How about the white, Christian guy who just flew his plane into an IRS building here in Austin loaded with accelerants? How about the white, Christian guy who shot up the holocaust museum? Try Googling it. How about the million plus Iraqis who have died in an illegal U.S. war? You’re living in a dream world pal. The apple pie is all bloody.

So, when are they gonna “sweep” the terror training compounds on U.S. soil?

That would be sooo politically incorrect, and possibly remove a threat of grave danger against innocent Americans, our Government would never do that. (Sarcasm)

Both. Then I can weigh them and decide, but politically most things worth doing are generally not easy.

You won’t be here long. Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
