Michigan man pleads guilty to aiding Hizballah

Michigan man pleads guilty to aiding Hizballah

Yet we are not even to question the loyalties of Muslims in America -- to do so would be "Islamophobia." This story shows why such pieties must be discarded. "Dearborn resident helped terror group," from the Detroit News, with thanks to Jeffrey Imm:

DEARBORN -- A Dearborn man pleaded guilty Tuesday to providing material support to Hezbollah, a foreign terrorist organization.

Mahmoud Youssef Kourani, 33, admitted to hosting meetings at his Dearborn home during Ramadan in 2002 and allowing a Lebanese man to solicit donations from people there for Hezbollah.

The U.S. government considers Hezbollah, a Lebanese group known as Party of God, to be a terrorist organization. The group's goals, the government says, include the eradication of "Western imperialism" from the Middle East.

Hezbollah has conducted many high-profile terrorist attacks, including the killing of a Marine lieutenant in 1989.

My parents grew up in Dearborn. I visited there in the 60's.
It was a nice wholesome middle class town. What the hell happened?!?

Dearborn's 1/3 Arab. From what I've heard, a lot of the Christian Arabs(majority in Michigan) are moving out of there because of the Muslims which are the newer residents.

SNORT!

Yeah, after all, they're probably just fleeing religious persecution in another country.

By fellow Muslims who think they are not extreme enough.

The legal muslim immigrants in European countries (like Holland, France, Germany) have such great records of behavior of late.

Yeesh! Only intelligent comments will be greeted with dignified responses

As far as the Jackson guy is concerned, I hope they were using him to track others, but you never know. They might just be plain stupid.
