Thanks, it gets confusing what you hear. I had heard that they got someone into the group that was wearing wires.

lack of "tribal retaliation"

History might be of some use. Tribes are anachronistic in the modern civilization.

One of the amazing things about this War On Terror is the restraint we have shown in waging it. Perhaps to our detriment.
But make no mistake- these mud-for-brains madmen WILL provoke America one too many times, and then the brakes will be off.
And it may be Joe & Jane Citizen that will finally have to address the situation.

Joe, and especially Jane Citizen are too busy with American Idol and Paris Hilton to concern themselves with the War on Terror. As long as an informed minority exists, however, we can force our Reps to keep their eyes on the ball, while “helping out” wherever we can.

But if they had been successful it might have been a different story.

I doubt it. There were few attacks on Muslims in this country after the WTC and Pentagon attacks.

I would say it is a case of projection.

They are the ones that tend to riot too easily. knowing their own tendencies, they project them upon others.

Additionally, they also have an agenda. Conquest. And if you can make your enemies to not resist you then you can work your will over them. In this sense, it is conditioning the sheep to be fleeced...or maybe even slaughtered down the road.

Heck, it was a Muslim who informed. That’s a brave man.

More news that the MSM leaves out, --along with fact that it was Arabic speaking passengers that lodged the complaint about the "Flying Imams".

If there had been a backlash the informant would have been blamed.

Yes, they are-but NOT in islamic countries. Which is the problem : Their morals and mores (in too many cases) come from following tribal customs, and they bring that mindset to the West, as well as seeing Western actions through that prism. So we act in ways that to us seem to prove our moral probity (if not outright superiority) but to many moslems, these same actions (seen through their eyes) look like cowardice.

(I've seen it suggested that it's tribal customs that are the problem, not islam per se. EG, FGM is preislamic, as is gangraping woman for revenge, etc. HOWEVER, these ancient customs would NOT have been allowed to aurvive if they'd not went so well with islam and sharia, so it's adistinction without a difference IMO.)

...and they bring that mindset to the West,

eg, raping Western nonmoslem women as a demonstration that they've conquered the country and hence are entitled to nonmoslem property, which includes women. I'm not saying all of the savagery we see inflicted on women in Norway, Sweden, etc, is stemming from this 'conquest mentality', but that is part of the problem IMO.

Joe & Jane may have no choice one day. As I understand it,there’s been “chatter” amongst our enemies about attacks in “the heartland”. I live in a rather small town, with several other small towns nearby. I can identify 10-15
prime targets that a small group of fanatics could destroy, using nothing but automatic weapons and explosives. And law enforcement and first repsonders would be able to do little to stop it, because they’d be among the first casualties.
My point?
Joe & Jane had better wake the f**k up. If the stinky stuff
hits the fan, there may be no one else to save thier butts!
But I agree, at the moment, the “informed minority” will have to help whenever possible.

Big Lib Media and groups like CAIR are always shrieking about imagined backlashes occurring whenever a member of some religious or ethnic minority is involved in a violent crime. What Big Media is really saying is : “listen you nasty, racist, stupid, violent white people, don’t do anything nasty to any members of the same ethnicity or religion of the perp involved in the crime. And even if you don’t, we know you’d like to.” The same warnings were issued concerning the murders at VT by an ethnic Korean. No retaliations against Koreans occurred, but this doesn’t stop orgs like CAIR or Big Media to issue these ridiculous admonitions.
