7 arrested in Sears Tower plot

I only read the headline but what are the odds that those arrested are Muslim and brown? If they are Muslim and brown is it just coincidence? Should the FBI use racial profiling? I'm going to read the article now to see if i was correct. Lol.

Well, all the article says is:

"The official told The Associated Press the alleged plotters were mainly Americans with no apparent ties to al Qaeda or other foreign terrorist organizations. "

but I'm sticking with my original assumption. Anyone want to wager me?

No. It's got the 'Religion of Peace' written all over it. The media will not be able to suppress this as much as they would like to.

"The men — part of a radical Black Muslim group — were planning terror acts in Miami and Chicago, officials say."

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13491653/

From ABC:

"The group has been under surveillance for some time and was infilitrated by a government informant who allegedly led them to believe he was an Islamic radical, a Justice Department official said."

Its only going to get worse. Not that we need to profile but have any of the terrorists in the last 10 years NOT been Muslim?

Mikey, is he cute? Is he brown? Would he like to join us for a cocktail? Is he polite? Is he clean? Have him take off his shoes. Don't let him go!

It's unfortunate, but that's the way it is. There's no room for political correctness. But considering the islamic radicals are actively trying to recruit light-skinned people of European descent, including women, it would be stupid to only focus on people of a particular appearance.


Update: ABC News changed the original suspects' descriptions of 'African-Americans' to 'U.S. citizens'. This is a 'politically correct' media description similar to last years' French rioters only referred to as 'youths'.

Last I checked Timothy McVeigh was quite pale...

Yes. And he formed a vast worldwide network of white male fertilizer bombers who quoted Scriptures. They would usually chant 'Jesus Christ, I hope this works!' as they poured the diesel fuel into the ammonium nitrate. But the evil U.S. government put the mastermind to an early demise.

Tim McVeigh was anything but common; quite extraordinary really...Not so with terrorism; it is monolithically Islamic. State sanctioned terrorism and human rights abuses are often conducted by secular, socialist or communist governments.

I spread fertilizer on my lawn today. I discussed the Bible with a co-worker. I rode in a diesel truck. I even wore traditional WASP heagear, a baseball cap. I hope Homeland Security doesn't find out. I'm sure they are diligently looking for those precursors in every population, since it's no fair to profile.

Ditch the baseball cap for a 'W' cap and you'll be OK.

You are correct but unfortunately there are more of them on both sides. Eventually they will pop their heads up where it will be shot or cut off but this one will take a while.

How about young, disenchanted white males? Seems like they pick up guns from time to time in public places, Post Office, High School or college(Anyone remember Charles Whitman, an Eagle Scout for cryin' out loud)

They don't blow up buildings so much, seems like a popular tactic for the religion of peace, or in places frequented by its adherents any event.

The next time a grey haired old lady, pretty much whatever color you like, white-brown-black blows something up on purpose, they can start watching Bingo Parlors, until then, stick to the Mosques.

So what it really comes down to is Muslim Fundamentalists are better terrorists than pissed off white trash? At least in the bang for brains factor?

And sure, there've been other terrorists in the last ten years who weren't Muslim. Aren't the IRA still kicking it around Belfast?

[svandamme]

they cannot be Muslim Terrorists, as that would ruin Mulls rant about centralizing the scumbags in the War in Iraq, and how all that is part of the Bush great Masterplan, that will go down in history as pure dead quality...

oh, huh ? Mull !
wtf !


how come there are still islamofanatics in the US??
is the "wecentralizetheevildoeersinIraq" tactic failing then or what???

i mean , think of all the money and GI's that can be saved by simply doubling the FBI's budget... it would still cost a lot less then the War in Iraq, and i'm sure would still be efficient at catching baddies on US soil...(i mean you cna throw billions at your centralisation tactict, but if it don't work, it don't work.. move on...

we need answers Mull , and we need em now
please come up with a new fairytale, think hard ... you can do it!!

You're starting to hyperventilate, Stijn. Slow down on the pot. You can thank liberal 'multiculturalism' and illegal immigration for allowing the islamic enemy-lovers into this country. A smaller version of a much bigger looming problem that you have in your little country. Also, notice that the scumbags in Florida were in contact with an informant with the FBI posing as al-Qaeda. They were not in contact with the real al-Qaeda in Iraq, learning how to build IEDs or smuggle various nasty items into the country. The Iraq war put a huge dent in al-Qaeda's operation and effectiveness around the world, but the Islamic disease is worldwide. It will not disappear overnight. Now relax and go back to your joint.

no sj1t sherlock
but whatever you just ranted, still doesn't make Mulls bs about "we centralized the scumbags in IRaq and that's why we are there" true...
