I would bet my bottom dollar that you would see radical profiling of Middle Easterners by citizens.

Neither of the men arrested is from the Middle East.

Good work -- this story broke a while ago, but it was very vague. Sounds like they have specific info and evidence now -- and we will soon hear the moans of "secret evidence" and "no proof," from the Islamists.

Jokhan is a naturalized American who was raised in Trinidad and Tobago, which has one of the largest concentrations of Muslims in the Caribbean.

There is a large concentration of Trinidadians in South Florida, and this is the first I've heard of Islam on the island -- a reminder that not all terrorists (or terrorist wannabe's) are Arab...the common denominator is Islam.

Kewl screen name .....should'nt that be Princess Machiaveli ?

As to the muslims....I have a real problem telling the good from the bad so the good had better get a handle on the bad fast before they committ such atriocities against America again...... because they won't like my version of fixing the problem at all......

Stay Safe

because they won't like my version of fixing the problem at all......

Might that possibly involve crosshairs and turbans? Works for me!

I seriously doubt that any attack by these people is purely independent and without guidance/backing from Al Quaeda in some form. Islam is a tightly controlling religion. Independent action is out of character and generally not tolerated.

I knew a Trinidadian whose grandparents had immigrated from India to Trinidad in the 1950s, apparently, there is a concentration of Bangladeshis and Indians there. He was of Indian/Hindu background.

NO! It is two Muslim monsters.

They were inspired by Islam, just like al Qaeda. Same difference.

As a retired EOD troop I did/do my best work without a firearm ...... albeit I don't leave the house without a 1911A1 on me these days , troubled times we live in ya know etc etc ....:o)

Stay Safe !

Pass go.

Interesting thing here.

Go to this site. Pick "advanced search", on the page that comes up enter "Islamic" in the "keywords" field and then pick a state.

[Squantos]

Agree 100% ........I think any description we use is too nice for such as these .

Stay Safe !

Didn't they all live near the Darul Uloom Institute (mosque) in Pembroke Pines?

The headline should read "Two Arab Men . . . "

And BRING ON THE F'IN JIHAD ! ! I know a few guys who will Jihad back on their a$$ (myself included).

[TLI]

Jihad!        Jihad!

Sorry, I just could not help myself.....

[tall_tex]

I beleive the post said they were "seeking funding" for their armory, so I would doubt that al Quaeda sponsored them. Sadly, what concerns me is that there are many people that truly hate us and our country. And many are our own citizens.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

...Mandhai and Jokhan...

Somehow I knew their names wouldn't be Jack and Bubba...

Those same Muslims in Trinidad staged a violent coup attempt in 1990. They are only 7% of the population there. Wake up America!

[freeperfromnj]

They were inspired by Islam, just like al Qaeda.

That's the bottom line. They are all fighting the same fight - Islam vs. western civilization.
