The New York Police Department report, to be released today, describes a process in which young Muslim immigrants, frustrated with their lives in their adopted country, slowly adopt a philosophy that puts them on the path to jihad. The men meet and share ideas in mosques, in bookstores and over the Internet, it says.

The answer to this is easy. If they don’t accept our way of life, send them back to where they came from. We don’t need them, don’t want them and they threaten our way of life.

We don’t need politicians to tell us what it is that we want.

It's an hour bus ride to where they came from.

Yet the article characterizes these dissatisfied IMMIGRANTS who become radicalized and adopt the jihad philosophy as "homegrown terrorists".

Here was an especially brilliant observation from someone who obviously shares bill clinton's belief that conservative talk radio was to blame for the OK City bombing:

The very white, very christian, very very ultra-conservative, Timothy McVeighs of the world are still out there in rural America, fueled by poverty and Bill O'Reilly. It's just a matter of time before one of those shows up again - with a bang.

McVeigh was very white, but he was far from Christian and far from conservative. He was also an ignorant dupe of people that hate our country (and probably vote democrat).
