Donald Trump and the ‘terrorist training camps’ conspiracy theory, explained [FR mentioned]
The Washington Post ^ | September 18, 2015 | Philip Bump

So why the conspiracy theories? Because that's how conspiracy theories work. Conspiracy Web sites often point out how close to New York City Islamberg is -- even though it's really not very close at all. It's far enough away that Brooklynites see it as a refuge from the city's noise and activity. Mahmoudberg is "right down the road from the Bay City nuclear power plant," a commenter at TexasBowHunter.com points out. In a response to Trump's comments, a commenter at FreeRepublic.com points to the 2006 arrest of Muslims near Virginia -- right near "the Virginia Muslim cemetery [where] the Chechen who bombed Boston was buried." We're through the looking glass here, people.

What about the ‘vast right wing conspiracy; the Clintons’ pushed?

They even got the FBI involved in ‘looking at conservative middle class white men’... Clintons said they were terrorists.

Where was the press on that?

"They" monitor every post here. They don't have to read them. The 'big data' projects are about finding the needle in the haystack when you want to.

Hmm. I do not have a strong opinion as to what activity the terrorists have been conducting on our soil. How would I know? In the day and age of the Internet, they can do plenty of training and harm here even if the key players stay over there.

Maybe it depends on our modern definition of “training camp.” The 9/11 terrorists were organized. Their main training may have been elsewhere but they had to do some coordination here, if only in small teams.

Noob? I maybe new here but this is not a video game where skills are lacking. I hold 2 real world non-liberal arts degrees and read everything and forget nothing when it comes to this stuff. With that said, I saw no mention of my vanity in the linked article. This is common knowledge anti-terror activities that was all over the news from not too long ago. If I am the only one who remembers it than what is wrong with America? Do we have mass brain damage?

OK, I read this article: Well, law enforcement near Islamberg, in the person of Deputy Sheriff Dumont, doesn't seem to worried. And as for Mahmoudberg? The reason it's a focus of conspiracy theories is because of an FBI report.

Yea, why should Christians in America be worried about such places.....Why are they allowed to operate? Did we let Hitler Youth Summer camps operate inside the USA in WW2?

What am I missing here? Anyway, there are Muslim "training camps" in America. The man who stated that was made to sound like one of those "conspiracy kooks" that lives in the woods because he has an accent and sounded angry. But he was not wrong.
