The most destructive terrorist organization in Detroit is the city government. Just look at the wreckage of the town.

Just a question. As odious as we think this is, what laws were broken?

Detroit is just like Kabul--except the roads are better in Kabul.

Sounds like unfair profiling of people who fund-raise, recruit, plan, and engage in international travel in order to facilitate Islamic terrorist murder and mayhem. /sarcasm

I think they are alleging that the above are the crimes which which this individual is charged.

Thanks. Pretty broad law, it seems to me. Is the administration guilty of kill[ing]...damag[ing] property... in a foreign country?

"why do we tolerate muslims in any positions of authority or influence in this country? especially a position that directly impacts our children?"

It's because:

"Islam is a religion of peace" - President George W. Bush
