You're angry because it doesn't fit your preconceived notions, that's all. After all, Al-Queda terrorists always knock over (rob) liquor stores!

For people into drug dealing, knocking off a liquor store and committing murder and assault shouldn't come as a stretch.

How silly of me not to assume islamic terrorists would be above such activity. I suppose you think their allegiance is really to allah, too, huh?

[Miss Marple]

annie, while not Middle Eastern, John Mohammed IS a practicing Muslim.

"Al-Queda terrorists always knock over (rob) liquor stores!

I sense sarcasm but if you'll recall, the hijackers were whooping it up at a bar leading up to September 11th. Also, "out of character" according to any profiles.

Not so fast. We know

1) He apparently had anti-U.S. sentiments for a LONG time, even while in the Army;

Maj. Bevacqua on FOX pointed out that the Army has been increasingly concerned about "sleepers" who are joining specifically to get sniper and military training. He did not say Muslims---quite the contrary, he said the cases he knew about were LA gang members, but the implication was laid out;

3) Muhammad has apparently SOME links to this camp, which Scotland Yard tied to Al-Quaeda;

4) all the arrest warrants have not been served yet, indicating there are plenty of people with information; and

5) the phrase "duck in a noose" sure sounds to me like a terrorist activation phrase. Now,

you are arguing that just because he was dumb enough (if that's what it was) to knock of a 7/11, doesn't make him a terrorist. Er, do you recall that

1) Richard Riady looked the way he did, and still tried to set his shoes on fire? (That qualifies as dumber).

2) That some of the 9/11 terrorists almost missed their connecting flights?

3) That dozens of "suicide bombers" have mistakenly blown themselves up before even gettin in the same county as their targets?

My point is, I think you are ascribing way too much sophistication to ALL Al-Quaeda-related activities. Yes, 9/11 was brilliantly planned, for the most part. But this was their home run. 90% of the time they strike out, and I suspect that 9/11 was their "best and brightest," not to mention most hateful, kooky nuts, as well. So, no, the involvement in the 7/11 robbery does NOT exculpate him as being a terrorist, or an Al-Quaeda-related operative.

What preconceived notion is that? That AQ are murdering thugs, not above any sort of criminal act? Well, I'm guilty of that preconceived notion.

>>After all, Al-Queda terrorists always knock over (rob) liquor stores!<<

What else do these particular terrorists "never do?" Hmmmmmmmm?

I worked with Black Muslim as clients..and many were VERY observant ....drinkers and druggers and crooks...there is a major spiritual disconnect..

I remember some Al Queda terrorists, last September, visiting strip clubs.

The forensic psychologist on FOX is saying that these attacks were almost definitely connected to militant Islam, whether is actions were inspired by Bin Laden or Louis Farrakan is irrelevant.
