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.
Hoping and praying for something does not automatically equate to actually carring out a plan of destruction.
No, it doesn't. But these folks loudly advocate these actions. It kinda attracts attention.
I remember seeing this during the Y2K hysteria back in 1999. Why weren't they (FBI) looking for Islamic fundamentalists then?
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.
By the way Poobah, I'll admit it in front of everyone....you were right (about Y2K) and I was wrong.
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?")
That is too un-American for words.
;-)
It seems to me, that if you are serious about participating in terrorist activities, you don't shoot your mouth off.
IMHO these guys (CI) are all talk and no action.
I am by no means trying to defend their ideology, but the FBI was on the wrong trail even back in 1999.
