The announcement by U.S. authorities of the arrest of three men and the search for another man, all implicated (allegedly by legal perspective) in a plot to kill thousands of people in and around the JFK International Airport leaves us with at least seven quick lessons...
1) This is an operation (successful or not) that implicated at least three countries in three subcontinents:...
2) The second lesson is that the Caribbean and South America have indeed became staging grounds for jihadi groups (al Qaeda, other Salafists and Iranian-led groups) to organize, recruit and act...
3) More specifically, attention must be placed on understanding the jihadi roots across the three states known as the Guyanas... The growth of Salafism and linked radical groups is the direct result of oil-producing regimes' ideological thrust in these areas. The root causes of potential terror acts in New York or Toronto in this decade have been triggered by a war of ideological indoctrination waged decades ago through this hemisphere...Also note, for example, that Jamaat-al-Muslimeen (JAM), a Trinidad and Tobago Islamic organization that was involved in a coup attempt in 1990 that resulted in the death of 19 persons, was formed years before the end of the Cold War and thus predated al Qaeda's launch...
4) A fourth lesson is to realize that while this operation was thankfully thwarted by U.S. authorities, the projection is that other similar operations are theoretically either contemplated or underway by the jihadists...

Well - let me propose lesson zero, that being: Without an effective border control policy it almost doesn’t matter where it is they come from, since they’ll find our nations boundaries perfectly violable. And them zero sub-a [0(a)] which would be that no one should be surprised - Muslims do not view or respect political boundaries. That it is Trinidad or Tobago or Long Island, is immaterial, to them their faith and its imperative to be present and controlling everywhere is all that matters.
We will kill scores of millions of them or they will kill scores of millions of us.
The numbers go up the longer we wait.
That's one of my watch words with the liberals around Seattle. The war on IslamoFascism will not begin to be decided until we kill a million of them, or they kill a million of us in Western civilized countries.
Take your pick...but do it fast, cause the stakes increase every month!!
The message is not well recieved around these parts.
Hey Walid, you are falling behind. That plot was weekend news. Today we have Hmong immigrants arrested for plotting revolution in Laos. They are all just nice people coming here to work hard, you know. /s
