All I know is the Northwest Jihadist connection is pretty strong. Both he and Battle were mixing with the same group in this neck of the woods. That includes the Mosque a few blocks from my house that has been called the most extreme in the country. Oh, and by the way, that Mosque's Imam was arrested at the Portland airport with traces of explosives in his luggage. There's an old saying like 'Lay down with islamofacists and you get up with Jihadist fleas'.(or something like that) Just my opinion from observation and too many years of watching the downward spiral of my beloved Country.

Thanks for the info, Nam Vet.

This conflict we've been engaged in, with Islamic fundamentalists, has lasted now for some 23 years, ever since the Iranian Revolution of 1979. This latest round of terror attacks against America, will only further fuel the fire against Islam and Muslim's in general. A quick look back.
