Christian Identity adherents who hope and pray for a race war to start are not enemies of America?

As far as I know, Christian Identity adherents are not likely to hijack a plane and crash it into a building, or strap a bomb to themselves and detonate it in a crowded shopping mall. Hoping and praying for something does not automatically equate to actually carring out a plan of destruction.

I remember seeing this during the Y2K hysteria back in 1999. Why weren't they (FBI) looking for Islamic fundamentalists then?

By the way Poobah, I'll admit it in front of everyone....you were right (about Y2K) and I was wrong. But I still have some beans, Ramen noodles and water left over.

Please do not equate a lack of testicular fortitude with a lack of desire to have such things happen. Witness Tom Metzger's and William Pierce's comments praising the terrorists for showing the proper "Victory or Valhalla" sentiment.

No, it doesn't. But these folks loudly advocate these actions. It kinda attracts attention.

The year 2000 of the Christian Era equates to the year 1368 of the Hegira. In short, it's not a big round number.

Also, unlike the Christian Identity folks, the Islamists generally kept their mouths shut.

I was working the solution end at the time, and I noted that (a) we were fixing software BEFORE it broke (which was unheard of before Y2K) and (b) we were fixing a ton of other nagging problems at the time ("Hey, Clem, while I'm under the hood fixin' this dern radiator, you want I should stick on a new fan belt and regap your plugs?")
