"So far only few Arab terrorist organizations have shown an interest in hitting US targets. Even less have attacked on US soil. It's not even as if the combined might of all Islamic terrorist organizations were directed against us."

This comment amazes me! There have been several posts here on Free Republic about the stated intentions of various radical Muslim groups of attacking targets in the U.S. and Israel. Are you a newcomer to Free Republic?

Al Fatah

Al Qaeda

Nidal's long dormant organization

Sheik Rahman's group Al Gama'a al-Islamiyya

Al Jihad

All these at one time or another threatened and attempted to attack US interests. Two of them have struck on US soil.

Some of the big guns of Arab terrorism, such as HAMAS, Hizzbullah threatened to attack the US at a time more than 6 years ago. Operation wise they have not been inclined to attack US targets in recent years and show no interest of doing so in the future. The remnants of the IMU after Namangani was killed also show no interest in the US. For that matter the multiple terror organizations based in Pakistan attacking India seem mostly interested in attacking India. There are some elements of the organizations there that have been responsible for the consulate, church and French bus bombings. They don't currently pose a threat to our interests here in the US.
