Thanks for the article. I believe it contains information of which all Americans should be aware. I was concerned about churches last Sunday morning, because they are among the least protected buildings, inhabited by the most trusted people, in the country. Last Sunday this weighed heavily on my mind and St. Patrick's was one of the buildings I thought was vulnerable. Catholic churches tend to be large and this is the Church that officially fought against Islam throughout the crusades. It would be too easy to pull up a truck along side the building during services. We should all be on the alert. Peggy is absolutely right!

The sad thing is that there are probably a lot of Muslims in the US who would never be terror bombers, but who would be willing to participate in a peripheral way. It's not like taking a videotape is killing anybody. If a friend asked them to, I think many would be willing to do so, knowing full well what it is for. It is a way to participate in the Jihad in a small way, without taking any risks or getting your hands dirty. Unfortunately for us, there is a vast number of people (hundreds of thousands, at least) who feel that the Jihad is justified, and would be willing to participate in some small way, like shooting a videotape for a friend. These people need to be educated and infiltrated. We have ignored this treat for too long.
