People don't undrerstand that you don't have to be an "official" member of the terror group to be a terrorist for them.
We'll see where the ties lead ... but the fact that he is radical, spoke highly of their mass murder and agrees with their interpertation of their religion is all that is required with these people to send them off to war ... against our wives, our children and all of us.
He is a terrorist and this is clearly directly terror related IMHO ... I pray the government, irrespective of their pronouncements to the public, sees it for what it is and takes it that way. I pray they would enlist the citizens in helping prevent these issues rather than trying to keep "the herd" in the dark.
How many of those people exist do you suppose in this country? In Islam ... a lot ... and Islam isn't just "over there" anymore. There are millions in the pool here.
I hope this guy and his accomplices fry. If the rifle matches, I will believe they got him for sure. I pray they got them all in this little band (aka cell). I pray others don't begin popping up all over.
Mind your knot ... check six.
We'll see where the ties lead ...
It's early yet... as this investigation unfolds, keep an eye out for the word : "Jamaat," as in Jamaat al Fuqra, Jamaat al Islam, or Jamaat al Tabligh. They are front groups for elements within Pakistan's ISI that are shoulder to shoulder with the Taliban and Al Qaeda.
Other camps like this have been linked to Pakistan, so we'll see. Check this out...
Amongst the alleged members of the TJ (Tablighi Jamaat) in the Muslim community in the US is Mr.Louis Fara Khan, the Black Muslim leader. The TJ operates in the US and the Caribbean directly through its own preachers deputed from Pakistan and also recruited from the Pakistani immigrant community in the US as well as through front organisations such as the Jamaat-ul-Fuqra founded in the 1980s under the leadership of Sheikh Mubarik Ali Gilani, who generally lives in Pakistan, but travels frequently to the US and the Caribbean.
The annual report on the Patterns of Global Terrorism during 1998 issued by the Counter-Terrorism Division of the US State Department states as follows of the Jamaat-ul-Fuqra: "Seeks to purify Islam through violence. Members have purchased isolated rural compounds in North America to live communally, practise their faith and insulate themselves from Western culture. Fuqra members have attacked a variety of targets that they view as enemies of Islam, including Muslims they regard as heretics and Hindus. Attacks during the 1980s included assassinations and fire bombings across the US. Fuqra members in the US have been convicted of criminal violations, including murder and fraud."

Jeff,from what is known so far,these guys aren't terrorists. Terrorism has a political/religious goal,and the goal of these two seemed to be profit. This makes them nothing more than regular criminals. The fact that they are Muslims means nothing.
I have no doubt that by the time their trial starts they will have morphed into "true believer Muslims",though. That way they can try to claim "political prisoner" status,and gain a little sympathy from the ignorant.
I remember Trav saying that too.
