CHICAGO -- A federal official said seven people have been arrested in connection with the early stages of a plot to attack Chicago's Sears Tower and other buildings in the U.S.
NBC News has learned from federal law-enforcement sources Thursday that the FBI has arrested about half a dozen men in Miami as part of an ongoing terrorism operation.
The men, part of a radical black Muslim group, were planning terror acts in Miami and Chicago, the officials said. An FBI informant infiltrated the group, according to the source, neutralizing the threat.

AB FAB!
Considering the MSM is obviously working against the well being of our country, I'd say they will do everything they believe they can get away with.
Sounds like a Jimmy Carter speech.
Did you see this yet?
And what the hell is your problem?

Perhaps it's the venue here that strains one's reading comprehension. But I don't think so.
Your tagline says it all.
Your original statement smacks of racism and bigotry.
I've thought about American born muslims both black and white for a while. Frankly the white ones concern me in the sense that they would blow themselves up. Black muslims don't seem quite so willing to blow themselves up but Malvo and Mohammad prove that there's no aversion to killing.
I called you on it by drawing attention to your tagline.
So you're playing the race card. Noted.

You're the one that played the race card. Not me.
LOL!
I ain't your junior. I was born in 1946 .
Furthermore, your 1st sentence on your home page draws attention to your thought process.
"...white, heterosexual male..."
Let's just agree to disagree, okay?
Sure whatever you say Mr Duke.
Unbelievable, almost, the dismissive way most Americans view this. But not when we are fed the "religion of peace" crap from the White House and the "we are the bad guys" dribble from the left and the MSN (one and the same).
While it's true that "Black Muslims" (i.e. members of the Nation of Islam and its off shoots)consider themselves to be Muslims, traditional Muslims don't consider them to be such. For instance, in one one of my classes on civil rights, a Muslim student asked that I not use the term, "Black Muslims" since it refers to a non-Islamic group and there are many actual black Muslims.
I have to agree with him. Even if one puts aside its kooky UFOs, evil scientists and dogma about racial superiority, the Nation of Islam has many beliefs that are the opposite of the core of the Islamic religion, most importantly that Wallace Muhammad, its founder, was God in human form--- there's even a day called Savior's Day that celebrates his birthday. But the main point of Islam is that there's only one God who does not take human form and Muhammad was his prophet, i.e. after the Koran, no more prophets were needed. Black Muslims have about as much to do with actual Islam as the Christian Identity movement has to do with actual Christianity.
So, even if American Muslims criticized these guys en masse, they wouldn't feel like they were criticizing one of their own. It would mean a lot more in that sense if they criticized Hamas, Al-Qaeda, the Muslim Brotherhood, etc. I'm not saying that Al-Qaeda and the other groups wouldn't work with Black Muslims, either--- as we've seen, Iran looks to make friends with Hugo Chavez, the Spanish Socialists, and any other group that hates freedom, the United States and Israel, and the terror groups appear to do the same.
They changed the article. No mention of black muslims anymore. Guess it didn't fir their agenda.
fir = fit
Yes but they ARE muslims........the homegrown kind, the black kind.
I'm not sure which is worse, but they are indeed muslims.
The way this country shys away from race situations, we're doomed if black muslims get into the act.
The locals told police that these guys were just members of a karate club. Harmless loveable little fuzzball types.
Records in Chicago show these seven men voted a total of 54 times for Kerry in 2004...
