New Jersey Terror Plot

Update by Jane: Yes, here I am, somewhat cranky I must say. Five of the suspects lived in Cherry Hill and all are Albanian, the Asbury Park Press reported. They had also considered attacking Fort Monmouth (which I pass on my way to the beach) before settling on Fort Dix. Apparently the feds were up on the group for some time:

The Star-Ledger of Newark reported on its Web site that the men had agreed to buy AK-47 assault rifles from an arms dealer who was secretly cooperating with the FBI. The Star-Ledger report cited a law enforcement source granted anonymity because the source was not authorized to speak about the arrest.
I have to agree with Rusty, the radical Islamists' ideology is what defines America's enemies, not the logistical substructure of al-Qaeda. Its an ideology of self-defined superiority and fatalism that terms all Shiites as rejectionists, engages in Takfir-ism against Muslims who hold less violent views, and views the US as the source of the modernism that corrupted Islam leading to the diminished power of the Ummah. Radical Salafism defines the US as the aggressor, Americans as sub-human, and death in combat against the US as noble and altruistic. There are no civilians and children deserve no mercy.

It is a war of ideas, viewpoints, definitions, and explanations. That these six planned to attack US soldiers on US soil, and kill anyone who got in their way, demonstrates the ability of hard core Salafi ideology to impact every American's life and invade every town, even Cherry Hill. The essential component of the terrorist threat is the ideology not the network.

2 If it’s Muslim, it needs to die. Let Allah fuck them in the ass for all eternity in hell. The question is not am I Islamophobic but am I Islamophobic enough.
