Could the anti-Red State threat in the bin Laden tape and the Texas connection we were tracking be a feint?
The jihadis ideology should make them more hostile to American secular humanism, which is definitely kufr in their eyes--convert or die--than to Christians who can be offered dhimmitude if they submit to Muslim rule.

I wouldn't discount the Texas connection, those maps were posted in August and I haven't seen any other posts indicating why the maps are posted. I'm still looking around but for all I know, someone's taking a trip and wants to know their way around the airport ahead of time.
