That’s true, too.The media keep trying to make this stuff look like “domestic terrorism,” whatever that may be (Earth First?), in order to deflect anger from the Muslims.

“domestic terrorism,”

I think that's the 'blame Americans for everything' type terrorism. ;)

That would be because of this:

Minnesota Muslim taxi drivers could face crackdown

Why on earth are American consulates still issuing visas to foreign Muslims? In America a quarter of young male Muslims ADMIT to endorsing suicide bombing. These are unacceptable odds. Survival requires that we keep them ALL out to protect ourselves from the sizable portion who ADMIT wanting to murder us. There is no no Civil Right to live in a country other than your own.

From what the DUmmies are saying this is all just a overhyped nothing story being pushed by the MSM for (you guessed it) the Bush Administration to make us all afraid of the make believe evil terrorists. I kid you not

Last info from the MSM is that Defreitas was currently living in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn, NY - until his arrest, of course.

These people were not U. S. citizens as some are reported to be. They are Muslims.

I know an American when I see one. If these men are U. S. citizens I’m an Algerian astronaut.

Political Correctness has run amuck at JFK for years. This is a two year old report.

JFK Screeners Find Bomb Residue, Let Man Go - Man Released After Positive Explosives Test At JFK

JFK Screeners Find Bomb Residue, Let Man Go Man Released After Positive Explosives Test At JFK Image

Scott Weinberger Reporting

(CBS) QUEENS A man’s sneakers tested positive for explosives at JFK airport. The sneakers were confiscated, but the man walked free. However, federal screeners didn’t tell any member of law enforcement what happened for days.

The man used the name Gamal Badawi with U.S. immigration officials last Friday at JFK airport. At the time, authorities were unable to use the computerized system that takes a visitor’s fingerprints and checks it against various databases, including the terror watch list. As a result, Badawi’s documents checked out against the information locally available at JFK.

Federal sources told CBS 2 that Badawi passed through U.S. Customs and went into the airport to connect to a Delta flight to Iowa via Chicago. As he went through security, a Transportation Security Administration screener pulled Badawi out of the line.

Suspicious Sneakers

Badawi was wearing high-top sneakers that, CBS 2 was told, had tape around them and rubber-bands sticking out of them. The screener told Badawi to take off his sneakers. They were then checked for explosives, and airport sources told us that the reading for explosives was off the charts. “The highest ever,” one federal source explained.

The CIA, reportedly had been investigating and following these men for over a year. If the Democrats had been in charge, nobody would have tracked these men and we would have been attacked again on our own soil.

That would be because of this: Minnesota Muslim taxi drivers could face crackdown (link)

Right actually, the thing about Minnesota Muslim Taxi Drivers not wanting to carry booze is from about January of this year and it did not seem like a big deal to go into;

But the car inspections of last summer were a whole thing different altogether..and I only remention it because I got off the freeway to go into the convenience store (which is the taxi drivers base as well out there) and I think, I saw 3 different cop cars around there; down the road, in the parking lot; etc.

It even occurred to me, whereas foreigners often "manned" the convenience store; they were all Americans today, often in the past, you'd see 2, this time 5 convenience store clerks (at the Super America out there if anyone wishes to check my statement); and it even came across my mind, it might not be a bad idea to have an employee in there who actually worked for homeland security as being like a "plant" though I doubt it, it might be an outside possibility. The cabbies are there all the time, there base is like a parking lot close to football field size behind a chain link fence.
