DALLAS - Police arrested a man after he allegedly placed an inactive car bomb near Fountain Place at 1445 Ross Avenue in downtown Dallas.
Hosam Maher Husein Smadi, a 19-year-old Jordanian citizen who has been living and working in Italy, Texas illegally, was charged with "attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction," authorities said.
Authorities said Smadi had been under FBI surveillance for some time after expressing "his desire to commit violent jihad" numerous times.

Why do I keep saying Missouri instead of Illinois?? lol... Springfield dangit
You agree with the sentiment that the ideology most responsible for 9-11 was evolutionary biology, not Islam.
That is 100% truth.
“Hosam Maher Husein Smadi, a 19-year-old Jordanian citizen who has been living and working in Italy, Texas illegally, was charged with “attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction,” authorities said.”
(All kidding aside, it’s a funny coincidence that his second name is spelled (but surely not pronounced) the same as the Irish surname “Maher.”)
Forgive me. I’m missing Missouri.
Which post please?
wasn’t there one in Illinois, too?
Okay, thanks.
Thought I missed one.
” Forgive me. I’m missing Missouri. “
The Springfield incident was in Illinois, not Missouri.. There’s been some confusion upthread about it.....
HTH
Thanks Uncle Ike.
Things will be moving quickly now.
It’s the Richard Dawkins influence, you know the supposed genius atheist who says 911 happened because of religion as if all religion and religionists are cut from the same cloth and driven by the same impulses. It would be like saying all secularists are sullied by the murder of 100,000,000 people by such infamous secularists as Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot among others who unleashed communist murder on vast swaths of the earth during the 20th century.
I think when one resorts to putting all people of a belief system into the same bucket as a few bad actors, it’s an admission you lost the debate. Such overcharged demonization serves no intellectual value other than to create shock value and distraction from the weaknesses of their other arguments.
But like you said, I tend to think these people who use Islam to achieve their nefarious goals use it because it’s convenient, not out of any real commitment to Islam. Why else did the 911 hijackers spend the night prior to the 911 attacks getting lap dances? Doesn’t sound like anything in keeping with Islam’s tenants that I’ve ever heard.
No, if there were some other ideology with the same popular appeal as Islam in the Middle East these beasts would be using that vehicle instead to achieve their anti-social goals. It’s just a means to gain popular approval with many of these nihilists.

Wasn’t there another happening like this in Chicago today?
No, I believe that revolutionary evolutionists (read: communists) have formed an anti-Western alliance with radical Islamists for the purpose of destroying the Judeo-Christian West. You have done everything in your power to cover up this alliance on FR, which tells me that you are much, much worse than a garden variety, Judeo-Christian hating, evo-athiest. You actually hate this country and everything it stands for, and will do anything to deflect attention away from the Unholy Alliance that the United States and its allies are facing...to include your favorite Islamo-Commie president currently descrating the White House.
Thank God the FBI, quite possibly the CIA, state and local officials are paying no attention to the Bozo behind the curtain!
lots of dry runs going on... Attack on America can leave no doubt that Impeachment of our failed President is the only option left for America... either that or civil war.
Exactly! Right on MissesBush!! I must say, I am very impressed...and I don’t say that easily :o)
Why thank you!
It is, unfortunately, our reality.
I love this nation and have served in its armed forces and take seriously my oath to protect and defend the Constitution that obviously means so little to you.
I expose your delusional thinking and your apologies for Islam and their bloody religion and their religious reasons for hatred of the West.
In your deluded “us them” tribalist primitive brain, anyone who rejects your particular biblical interpretation just MUST be an 0bama supporter; but that is as much a lie as when you try to say I am an atheist.
