A small silver lining -
Interesting that his father called in the tip, concerning which someone dropped the ball.
Thats what we want “moderate Muslims” to do. Nice to see one case like this at least.
Cynic at work here; he may have contacted the FBI for selfish reasons, not for concern for the U.S. but because he didn’t want his son committing suicide or being prosecuted for an attempted terrorist attack. That would not only cause him heartache or headache, but would put him and the rest of his family on the radar screen forever. On the other hand, a poor muslim family would be less likely concerned historically because they basically have nothing to lose, they usually get a bonus from some muslim dictator for having their child commit suicide and take infidels with them, etc. I’m yet to be convinced “moderate” muslims even exist; they’ll have to reform from within (a reformation) before I believe for one moment they’re concerned about the rest of the world. Time will tell, in the meantime, it’s only the first inning in a 14 hundred year war with the West. Stay tuned.
