AURORA, Colo. — Djilali Kacem tugged at his beard and surveyed the warehouse of Islamic books he helps oversee near Denver International Airport. “The government should know better by now,” said Mr. Kacem, an imam at a local mosque. “It has been eight years since Sept. 11 and our government still overacts sometimes when it comes to Muslims.”
As an investigation into a possible terrorist plot against New York City focused increasingly last week on a local Afghani shuttle bus driver, some Muslims in and around this Denver suburb have grown uneasy, saying they are concerned that law-enforcement officials are going too far because the case involves a Muslim...
The man the authorities say is at the center of the investigation, Najibullah Zazi, 24,... had begun cooperating with the authorities after three days of questioning by F.B.I. agents. He reportedly admitted that he may have perhaps unwittingly crossed paths in Pakistan with extremists allied with Al Qaeda. And, the officials said, that based on Mr. Zazi’s statements to the agents, there are now some indications that he underwent training in explosives and bomb-making while overseas... ... word of the inquiry has spread throughout the more than 10,000 Muslims who have settled in Aurora and parts of Denver. “Colorado has always been seen as a good place to raise a family,” Mr. Noorzai said.
Mr. Noorzai, the former president of the organization, said many local Muslims were trying to figure out whether anyone knew Mr. Zazi, and whether he did anything wrong.
“If this guy is innocent, then our community is going to feel like we are being singled out,” he said....

It’s hard not to overreact when the Koran preaches radicalism. It is the moderates who are apostate and the islamofascists who are in good standing with their word.
I wonder if its under the flight path....(cowbells here)
Cry me a river. When mooslims stop bombing and plotting to bomb and kill civilians then come talk to me.. Till then STFU!
I wonder if its under the flight path....(cowbells here)...
...thats better....
“If this guy is innocent, then our community is going to feel like we are being singled out,” he said....
And if he’s guilty, what then? My guess is NOTHING.
Perhaps “your community” should do some self examination
and decide weather you are Americans or NOT.
The left will always point out Timothy Mcviegh but will forever deny there was another man with him that looked like a towel turd or that something mysterious happened to flight 800. You know like the little streak toward the plane.. Ok don’t get me started on Clinton that was to many years ago. Sorry
“Afghani” = a monetary instrument used in Afghanistan
“Afghan” = a person from Afghanistan (or a blanket)
Did the NYT fire their editors as a cost-saving measure?
Sheesh.
Oh, and you’re not a victim dude, you’re a suspect...
There. I fixed it.
...and ‘Noorzai’ is a Pashtun name, I believe. The Pashtuns form the core of the Taliban. Then again, many of the Pashtuns are all right.
Just sayin’

Terror suspect Najibullah Zazi tells the Denver Post that media reports he admitted to al-Qaeda links are “nonsense.”
That was in the Denver Post this morning. Someone must have just tweeted it. I think the jury remains out on this guy. See the story about the group trying to rent a gigantic truck in Queens.
In my world this guy would be subjected to electric shock torture and hot iron branding. I'd have his confession is 5 seconds!
In my world, he and all of his family and friends, and all of their families, would be sent packing back to Pakistan. Today. When I see them smirking like that I just want to slap them. They think we are idiots for putting up with them and you know, that is the one thing they are right about.
10,000 in Denver....how do they get here?
Poor babies...they're starting to sound like 'victims.'
Well if these Islamofascist are so innocent why are they worried?
Zazi breaks off talks with FBI, calls reports of terror ties 'nonsense'
See link at #37.
I accessed your postings yesterday.
Thank You for all the information!!!!!
Thanks Ernest. If they continue to feel uneasy, they should consider going back to whatever hell-hole they’ve come from, or should repudiate Islam.
