"maybe they are a new branch of Islam where ganja is also a sacrament"

Islam has been in the Western Hemisphere ever since African slaves were forced here. Most Islamics went to the Caribbean.

Devoted Muslims don't like any form of substance abuse.

The Muslims I've known abhor anybody who uses their religion to rationalize criminal acts like terror, murder, rape, theft, drug smuggling, pushing, selling, and/or abuse. Many can argue the semantics of Mohamed's true life and message, but that's for another discussion.

Criminals of all creeps of crime make for strange bedfellows. Lesbians hate men and homosexual men don't want anything from women, yet they support each other's vice. Similarly, Islamic terrorists have actively sought Western Hemisphere drug and people smugglers expertise the same way the IRA used Soviet hardware to kill British soldiers and high profile subjects. There's not a damn ideological thing that hard hitting IRA guys like of an atheist (and very anti-Catholic) Stalinist regime, but if it fetches them with cheap Kalashnikovs and packages of Semtex, then their conscience will accept it.

Thus, the war on "terror" will provide free nations with better weaponry and tactics for the war on crime. Already the FAA is upset over local cops using unmanned aircraft to capture criminals, but the lightning bolt (Satan) is plummeting. Bureaucracy won't shield criminal activity, and the Constitution doesn't mention squat about "right to privacy".

I missed that..what an infantile question.

But Graham was the right one to ask. He could refer to his notes..

Too bad their the silent minority.

Perhaps the next arrests should be those people at the New York Times. They have hurt our counter-espionage efforts very badly.

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “MIAMI - The leader of a group accused of planning terrorist attacks asked an FBI informant to secure aid from al-Qaida for a plot to overthrow the U.S. government, the informant testified Thursday.

Narseal Batiste believed the informant, Abbas al Saidi, was a member of al-Qaida and asked him to seek the terrorist group’s support when he visited his native Yemen, al Saidi said.

Batiste, 33, once handed al Saidi a flyer that included the defendant’s cell phone number, the informant said. Al Saidi testified that Batiste gave it to him so he could provide his contact information to al-Qaida operatives.

“He asked me to give that to al-Qaida and asked me to ask for support for their missions,” al Saidi said. “He wants an Islamic organization willing to support jihad against the U.S. government and that paper contains his information.”

The seven defendants from Miami’s impoverished Liberty City neighborhood are accused of plotting to destroy the 110-story Sears Tower in Chicago and bomb FBI offices in five cities to ignite a war.”
