“Stop Protecting the Jihadists”
SNIPPET: “Confidential informants like the one who brought down the would-be Bronx synagogue attackers have saved countless lives. So why are American Islamic organizations working to sabotage them?”

Just when threats of terrorism had seemingly disappeared from the radar screen, Americans woke up Thursday morning to hear the news about four radical Muslims who plotted to bomb two synagogues in New York and shoot down a military plane using a Stinger missile. Fortunately, the FBI had infiltrated the plotters from the very beginning with a confidential informant who learned of the plan from an Afghan-born Muslim.
Prosecutors say the suspects obtained what they believed was a live Stinger missile and three improvised explosive devices with C-4 explosive. “While the weapons provided to the defendants by the cooperating witness were fake, the defendants thought they were absolutely real,” said acting United States attorney Lev Dassin in a prepared statement.
Their intention was to punish America for killing Muslims in Pakistan and Afghanistan. The plotters identified two Jewish institutions in the Bronx to blow up using the C-4 plastic explosives and then planned on shooting down a military plane at a nearby military air base.
The virulent hatred for Jews was manifested in a statement made by the accused ringleader, James Cromitie. After lamenting that the “best target”—the World Trade Center—was no longer available, Cromitie spoke of killing Jews: “I hate those motherfuckers, those fucking Jewish bastards…I would like to [destroy] a synagogue.”
As the plot developed and the would-be jihadists carried out surveillance, photographing synagogues and Jewish centers, the official FBI complaint released last night stated that “Cromitie pointed to people walking on the street in the vicinity of a Jewish Community Center and said if he had a gun, he would shoot each one in the head.”
But Jews were not the only target. The complaint says the accused terrorists wanted to destroy American aircraft at a military base using missiles. According to the FBI document, would-be terrorist Onta Williams said the U.S. military “are killing brothers and sisters in Muslim countries so if we kill them here with IEDs and Stingers, it is equal.”
There are several lessons that the U.S. government and public should finally learn from this plot.”
Seems the snitch had a pretty shaky background...
Still though...all perceived threats need to be taken seriously until proven otherwise. Right?
