Jihad on U.S. soil (what the media won't report)

Washington Times ^ | 3/12/04 | Robert Spencer

Although most media attention has been focused on Martha Stewart, gay "marriage" and the national waistline, the jihad continues in America.

The FBI and Coast Guard announced last Thursday that they have discovered nine members of the Merchant Marine who may have links to terrorist groups. This is the fruit of Operation Drydock, an anti-terror investigation that has lasted more than a year. These efforts, while laudable, only underscore the fact that terrorists have already begun to try to take advantage of the vulnerabilities of American seaports.

Media bias alert.

On the same day, five Muslims were convicted in Buffalo of trafficking in untaxed cigarettes in order to get money for jihad.

Finally, the terrorists did something that might turn liberals against them.

It's all about ratings. Lazy networks with sloppy, sappy shills pretending to be newsmen flog stories that have catchy, simple headlines and purient content for the masses.

I have no idea why that tv is still taking up space in my family room. No one watches.

Is the Washington Times making sure to give these stories the coverage they deserve? (on the day they occur)
Or do they bury them like the other papers?

[fsorbello]

Hey, if they don't report it, it didn't happen right?

Look at what's going on in Iran and how much press that has gotten.

My neighbor goes to a local convience store owned by muslims because she can order cartons of cigaretts from them extremely cheap. Interesting.

The press in america is as much a threat as the terrorist in its present form.The press cover up and hide news that would benefit every american for each of us to protect our selves IMHO

Talk sense into the woman! I do not patronize any muslim owned businesses, (if I know they are muslim owned). I changed my mechanic, and shop at different convenience stores. Not exactly a trauma for me, but I'm sending a message. I have had it. The muslims here don't distance themselves from the terrorists. This is not the bogey man. This is a real threat. They want me, you, and any other non muslim dead simply because we exist. They are animals. Ok... I'll try to calm down now.

At the end of the day, as my British friends so lovingly say, the American people will come to realize that terrorism and security IS the "Number One" issue in the 2004 Presidential campaign. It has been all along, they better own up to it. A vote for John Kerry is a vote for the destruction of America! this man will not defend this country or its people!

She SHOULD report them to the FBI instead of supplying them with $$ -- just where does she think her money is going??

But how can this be? Isn't is-slime a religion of Peace and Love? (/enraged sarcasm)

Needs to be repeated over and over.

We know... Just look at any world paper this morning to see how Spain along with the rest of the Western World is officially blaming everyone except the Muslims for yesterdays bombings.

[kittymyrib]

Find out the name of the store and turn the information in to the FBI. This is everybody's responsibility, even though your neighbor just wants cheap cigs.

[MissAmericanPie]

I for sure will ask my neighbor some questions and give her a heads up on this article.

[TomGuy]

I remember last week skimming some news article that said 37 actual significant terrorist acts on American soil had been intercepted and prevented since 9-11.

I don't remember any other details. I think it was a statement without additional details from an FBI agent. It may have come out of Tenet's appearance before Congress.

After the arrest of Susan Lindauer (also John Sniper Muhammad, Jose Padilla, Johnny Taliban Walker, etc.), we have American citizens willing to sell out their own Nation and culture.

The enemy is within. We need to be awake to that fact.

"Interesting."

Nope. It's ridiculous! That is so common around New Orleans that one merchant sells to all others. How they get away with it would be interesting to find out.
