Mosque leaders called the FBI, setting into motion a case that came to light this week. Bell, now 19, was indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of conspiring and attempting to provide material support to terrorists. He faces up to 15 years in prison for each of the two charges. …

That’s what?, the third time since 9/11 any muslim has lifted a finger to prevent a potential terrorist act?

Major progress, guys!

It’s happened more often than that.

Blood is thicker than law, unless the law is sharia.
