War On Terror: It's bad enough that Americans are bad-mouthing American troops fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq. But an alarming number of Muslim-Americans are plotting to kill them.
Thanks to the anti-war crowd, the trend may only worsen. The ACLU recently pressured the Pentagon to shut down a domestic counterterror unit set up after 9/11 to protect troops and bases.
And a new congressional report finds that the U.S. government has no "coordinated strategy" to deal with grass-roots jihadists who more and more are meeting, training and conspiring to kill troops over the Internet.
In the most recent case, a federal jury last week convicted three Toledo, Ohio, Muslims of plotting to attack U.S. military personnel in Iraq and elsewhere.
Mohammed Amawi, Marwan El-Hindi and Wassim Mazloum were learning to shoot guns and make explosives while raising money to fund their plans to wage jihad against U.S. troops.
Amawi and El-Hindi are U.S. citizens, and Mazloum immigrated to the U.S. legally from Lebanon.
In addition, El-Hindi's two cousins from Chicago face trial next year for conspiring to kill American soldiers.
The Toledo case is just the latest in a string of troop-killing plots by homegrown terrorists.

I just saw that and thought the same as you
Ping. Makes me want to visit Toledo. Seriously.
If FDR was president at this moment, all Muslims in this country would be in internment camps.
“U.S. soldiers increasingly are the prime targets of terrorism, both at home and abroad. And those who want to do them harm include fellow citizens.”
That’s what you get when you allow the enemy to immigrate.
Muslims will not want to try it.
There are many (armed) American citizens who would give their lives to protect the troops.
Heaven help the Muslims when the National Guard comes in to reinforce the citizens. Talk about wall of lead.
Muslims should be careful - this is not Europe. If the US is willing to go into Iraq a half a world away to cleanse the muslim terrorist scum from the earth, think of what we would do to these homegrown terrorists who throw our freedoms back in our faces. Chamber the rounds boys...
Holy cow, that hits like a ton of bricks.
“to kill troops over the Internet.”
Just curious how they could do this.
I think if cowardly “judges” and “lawyers” want to particiapte in the War on Terror, they should do it in BDU’s, combat boots and a helmet.
These three should be slowly ran through the shredder after they are told that is what Saddam used to do to innocent civilian Muslims.
