Another strange occurance at my church tonight (possibly terror related)
11/6/10 | 1curiousmind

I hesitate to write this because I don't want to come off as paranoid. But I figured its worth it to share info just in case there really is something in the planning stages.

Especially after the church masacre last week in Baghdad, I believe that it is highly possible that a similar attack could take place in the US.

Tonight 4 middle-eastern men were seen down our childrens' wing at our church. They were walking briskly and talking in Arabic.

A woman spotted them at the other end of the hall. She tried to catch up to them but they exited into the lobby and by the time she got to it they had disappeared. A few people looked but no one saw them leave the building.

There was no reason for anyone to be down that hallway. There were no children's programs going. It's possible that they could have taken a wrong turn. But it just doesn't feel right.

This is the 3rd incident since last March involving young middle-eastern men. The first one involved them asking odd questions about the size of our services, questions about the children's area, even requesting a layout of the building.

The FBI has been alerted and its been discovered that at least one other church in the area has had a similar incident take place.

I'm writing this here because I think there are alot of FReepers who attend church. I would ask you to inquire whether anything unusual has happened in recent months in your church. Especially if you are a large church. And especially if you are located in the Detroit area.

We must be willing to think about these things (not obsess over them) but reasonably consider the possibility. Thank you.

” Call the F.B.I. “

Keep in mind that in Janet Napolitano’s twisted thinking, *you* - as a churchgoing patriot - are the terrorist suspect......

As others have said this sounds really bad. Call the FBI now!

The interesting part of the Woods story is that this was BEFORE we were aware of this monster called "Terrorism" in our country. The Embassies, the Cole...That's different...

Woods must have superior gut instincts.

The Pastor and security team are aware.

Again, its early on. There might be a reasonable explanation for who they were and why they were there.

But before it got too late, and given that tomorrow is Sunday, I felt it was worth sharing it just in case someone else out there has had something similar happen.

Ping.

And if there’s anyone else who you think ought to know about this, pass it on.

Get 20-30 large male members of your congregation to go to the nearest mosque and ask for a layoiut of the building. Then ask for the size of their services. Make sure they know what church you belong to.

Keep areas locked that people don’t need to be in.

I know of several churches that have armed ushers and cops who direct traffic. IMO visible cameras and security procedures are better than hidden ones.

Just don’t call them Islamic or Muslims.....that would be racist and may get you thrown into one of Obammys and Nappys jails. No sarcasm intended.

You know - I was in Houston a few weeks back and I witnessed something very strange. Two middle eastern men and a woman, all in western clothing, photographing each other in front of a metro train stop, on the trai itself, of an approaching train, the terminal stop, and finally at the doors of the co-cathedral of the sacred heart.

At the time i was wondering why they would photograph themselves in front of such banal settings. Now I think I know.
