Sorry, but after 9-11 we are not laughing. Please read some of this thread, particularly the linked article at #162, about the extent of terrorist training camps operational today in America. Or just read the last ten or so replies with their information.
You call it "silliness"?
It does not matter whether these maniacs CAN IN REALITY ever "plant the islamic flag" in Washington. What matters is that a very significant % of the islamic world supports Osama, who has unleashed "weapons of mass destruction" in New York in this insane jihad, and no doubt will detonate nukes here if he can obtain them.
You call it "silliness"? We are heading into World War Jihad with the maniacs so abundant within your religion, and you consider it "silliness"?
A widespread network of islamic terrorist training camps in the USA, and even wider networks of sleeper terrorist cells, and you call it "silliness" after Atta and 9-11?
Weapons of mass destruction being used by your insane co-religionists is not "silliness".
If you sane moslems cannot get a tight grip on your insane mass murder bent fellow moslems, then the entire world is going to suffer a scourge not seen since at least 1945, on both sides. And that's not "silliness".
