More likely he's saying, "If only I'd been a Muslim trying to blow up Americans, they never would have been on my case."

They are still following the priorities set by Janet Reno.

The KKK, neo-Nazis & other like minded domestic terrorists have ties with international Islamofascists over the Internet, bound through similar blind hatred .
