Does anyone else find it funny that he was a PUBLIC SCHOOLS official with EXTREMIST ties?

Ah well, I'll move along...

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

The same reason we allow Christians in positions of authority, despite what McVeigh and the Klan have done over the years. The same reasons we allow Americans of Japanese, German, Russian, and Italian descent in positions of authority.

Why don't you ask 'Jihad in America' author Daniel Pipes, since even he says the percentage of Muslims in America who would aid or participate in a terror act is less than 3%.

Or perhaps you would prefer a law requiring all Muslims to wear a yellow Star of David crescent on their clothing?

Since we're picking on Detroit (I spent six months there and have no desire to return to that part of MI)...

There are only two seasons in Detroit: Winter and Pothole.

Didn't Detroit vote to NOT cooperate with the Department of Homeland Security?

Didn't Detroit vote to NOT cooperate with the Department of Homeland Security?

Yes, the city with the busiest international border in the country voted down Homeland Security Funding.

Isn't "Detroit Terror" redundant?

Was he a member of the Clinton administration? Why are the Clintonistas not arrested on similar charges?

My wife was there last year. The actually sell tshirt in the airport saying I survived my trip to Detroit with the outline of an AK-47 on it.

"DETROIT (AP) - A former Detroit Public Schools official is accused of conspiring with a Florida man in the mid- and late 19-90s to raise money and recruit Muslim extremists to fight in Bosnia, Kosovo, Chechnya and Somalia."

Interesting, Detroit has a sizable Muslim and Albanian population. To think this individual had influence in the education of children is scary.

Was Jose Padilla from Detroit as well? Can't remember.

BJ did the same, only he used U.S. taxpayers money and U.S. Arrmy on his disposal to aid and abet terrorism in Bosnia and Kosovo.

~~~~
Because our "leaders" are cowards whose primary goal is not offending those who are trying to kill us.

Those "leaders" are in for quite a surprise the next 9-11.

[Brofholdonow]

And Kabul has fewer guns.

[sandydipper]

I wonder if they will ever arrest Socks Berger??

[OldFriend]

Sorry, I see Padilla was a Chicago gang banger.

The same reason we allow Christians in positions of authority, despite what McVeigh and the Klan have done over the years.

That reason being that McVeigh and the KKK was/are in no way Christian?
