Over the weekend, the Council on American Islamic Relations received reports from Muslim-Americans in eight states, who said they were approached by FBI agents who wanted to speak to them about the alleged threat. Those states included California, Washington State, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Kansas Oklahoma, Florida and Texas. …

Who knows, maybe the other states were engaging in severe amounts of PC.

That’s their back up plan, in case they feel the tide turn against their accomplices in the rat party.

“Shibly (the CAIR lawyer) said there appeared to be no connection between those interviewed (who included a youth group leader and several wealthy doctors) and the threat, other than their religion or ethnicity. All of those interviewed appeared to be of Afghani or Pakistani descent.”

Shibly seems to think the FBI randomly chose these muslims to interview. I’d think the youth group leader might be a suspected recruiter and the doctors suspected financiers.

However, my faith in the FBI has dropped quite a bit, so maybe they just chose some names out of a phonebook to meet this month’s quota.

It’s a proven fact that most Muslims never tell law enforcement authorities the truth. They cooperate very little.

Giving Muslims any protected status is national suicide.

Shortly after questioning, the FBI determined that the interviewees were likely to be “extremely careless with explosives” on Tuesday, but let them all go because they could not discern any intent to blow up anyone other than themselves.

With colon krapperdick’s pathetic on-field performance during the past few weeks, the authorities should check on him to see if he plans to become a suicidal bomber.

I did see a DHS vehicle in my part of Pennsylvania on Saturday. Maybe that’s what it was.
