Jihad USA: Fox's Take on Homegrown Terror
Harboring vague thoughts of anti-government mayhem may mean the Justice Department labels you a criminal. So I'm intrigued to see how Fox covers the alleged homegrown terror cells in their special this weekend, Jihad USA. It promises to investigate the "emerging threat from people who have been radicalized by extreme Muslim doctrine within the U.S."
Well, one such case of alleged domestic terrorism is the "Liberty City 7" trial , which now rests in the hands of a jury—again. The first trial for the Miami-area men accused of plotting to blow up the Sears Tower in 2006 ended in a mistrial, partly because there was little concrete evidence the men were serious about the plot and because FBI collaborators provided many of the materials needed to complete it. The jury so far has spent four hours in deliberation, and will return on Monday to continue.
If Fox's preview of the documentary, in which the Miami case is discussed, is to be believed, then Jihad USA will be one-sided indeed. Fox anchor and Jihad USA host E.D. Hill says the documentary "will frighten you, but it will inform you." I don't doubt Jihad USA will be frightening, but informative? If the hysterical tone of the preview is any indication, probably not.

Knowing that the republicans have nothing positive to run on this election year,they turn to their propaganda machine for some help.Of course the trailor trash will absorb it like sponges.Fox news reminds me of a pack of dogs barking at a passing car.

As a white Muslim I feel offended at the insinuation that converts are "high risk" individuals. I mean, the Army of God camps out 40 miles outside my hometown. Arn't they a more realistic terrorist threat?

I'm amazed that anyone with an IQ over 80 listens to or finds any thing credible about Fox News. How can so many Ameicans justify the last 7 years of our dangerous and arragant behavior? Some how we have to send All politions we the people are supposed to be there employer, not their lackeies.

To Will Ellis: you are absolutely right! However this administration has used this fear factor to get us to feel we have no choice but to go along with them for so long they can't stop now. Our only chance is to kick them out of office. M<ost of the republican and some of the democrat are there to serve their own interests and only cater to we citizens enough to keep us voteing for them. We can all start now by doing our own reseach, be as objective as possable regrdless of party. Let get on a Band Wagon here and now and hope we can persuade the one party voters to start getting ojective. Maybe we could read comments that have no content except name calling and crude insults. Every time we see these comments lets address them directly with the hope some of them will learn to reply to issues with thoughtfulness and serious remarks

Boy this site must pretty lame if it has to pad their blog responses with multiple copies of the same posts. Of course Liberals only hate the USA and not its enemies. Typical trash talk from self-loathing dweebs.

Hey Crimson Dynamo,
I agree with you 100%, the Lib's in theis country only think that the USA is the bad guy in the world... They feel that we have brough all the hatred of our beloved country on ourselves...? I feel so ashamed when i hear liberal pundits making excuses for all the ani-American hate mongers .>!!! I wonder what would have appened to these people if they had been doing this in 1863, or 1942..?
What do you think..?

It is obvious that neither you, Bill, nor Crimson Dynamo, think at all, so what exactly is the point of your question?

Bill Nigh,
What I think is that you need to learn how to write and then you can tell us of your brilliant ideas and analysis. While you write like an ignoramus, we will be forced to consider you one. The best way to learn how to write is to learn how to read. When you read a lot, your brain (if it is not petrified by now, after all, who knows how old you are) absorbs the way the spoken language is written, so that you can at least keep the appareance of an educated individual.
Sincerely,
Mar Wagner

By the way, to all of you who are baffled by the ignorance and lack of intelligence demonstrated by most of the working class in America, I am reading a fascinating book called "Deer Hunting with Jesus: Dispatches from America's Class War", by Joe Bageant. It shows some correlations between propaganda, lack of education, puritanic work ethic, inbreeding, outsourcing, etc., to explain this behavior. In short, it is simply brainwashing. It is tremendously sad to be so removed from their reality that we are unable to understand how come these people term after term end up voting against their own interests.

Hey Lib's,
For some reason people keep fixating on someones typeing skills, hahaha. I have said many times, i was an applied physics major, Not an english major.
I think that the problem many people have is that they know, deep down, what they should be saying, but they can not get past the namby pamby liberal drivel they sucked up in liberal arts college... hahaha. You people need to understand that the enemy wants you DEAD..!!! Unless you are willing to convert at the end of a sword, they will kill you and your whole family. It doesn't matter if they are home grown or foreign born.
And my point about the years of 1863 & 1942 was that, if you would have been printing the trecherous things aginst our country back then, you would probably be in jail..!!!
What do you think now..?

Aw yeah that's what we need! To revert back to times when slavery or dicrimination were legal. Do you know how dumb you sound when you say "libs"? Liberals, like conservative, have done great things for this country, and if you're going to sit there and act like Betty Friedan and Upton Sinclair were just "libs", then you should stick your head in the dirt.
"You people need to understand that the enemy wants you DEAD..!!! Unless you are willing to convert at the end of a sword, they will kill you and your whole family. It doesn't matter if they are home grown or foreign born."
Who is the enemy? Do you even know? If you're infering that Islam is the enemy than you better realize that we're now mnore numerous than Catholics. Which is saying something, because for centuries Catholics have tortured my people, forcibly converted Jews. You have some balls to sit there and say that I want to convert people by the sword. My conversion was peaceful, as will be the conversion of your descendants. :)

Hmmm, trailer trash? Most of New Orleans lived in trailers for a bit. My home as a young man was a trailer on a lovely lake where I spent the best years of my life. Ah, bachelor days! I wish I were still there. I suppose most people live in trailers because they can afford nothing else. I have a sad feeling we are headed toward becoming a nation of trailer dwellers, made up of the former middle and upper middle class.
Our government IS bloated with corruption. Where is an honest man to lead when we need him? Where are the Washingtons, Jeffersons...
Our system has problems. But re-read the basic tenets of America and feel the history of the time. It WAS a wonderful accomplishment.
Our government IS manipulative and real news is a tough commodity to come by these days. It is not just the US government that manipulates. It is probably one of the minor players. Forget TV. Use the internet and dig for it. Be advised! American civilization can fail! It is sick now. There are many in the world who see this. Review the past decade of events in The Netherlands and Britain. Our lifestyle, sick as it may seem at times, is under attack. Should Britain allow Sharia law? Should Harvard close their gym to allow special hours for muslim women? Should they do the same for any religion that has special needs? Should Saudia Arabia allow Christian churches? Should secular women be forced to submit to wearing headdresses and fore go driving autos, and sitting with men other than their family in Arab countries? Is there really a religious police in these countries or is it media hype? Did the US invent it? Did Israel? Are the women of the world truly 100% equal to men in this day and age of 2008 or are they not. How many people feel they should be? Is it believable that some do not?
It is a fact that we are missing a couple of buildings and about 3000 people in NYC. Some would call them infidels. Some would say we brought it on ourselves. Of course the family and friends of those who died would not.
Read John Perkins, Bridget Gabriel, Daniel Pipes and David Horowitz. Go to www.muslimwakeup.com and study their material. Read "on Being a Muslim" by Farid Esack. Look over www.faithfreedom.org and read Ali Sina's stuff. Don't reject anything out of hand.
Read the Koran (Qur'an) Form your own opinion. Watch what happens in the world.

If you hate Saudi Arabia so much tell your government leaders to quit dealing with them. I agree, the Wahhabis are extremists. Did you know that the veiling of women is not condoned in the Qu'ran. During Muhammad's time leading Medina, women walked around freely, unvieled. Those strivt "religious laws" were only applied by people willing to misqoute and misrepresent true in order to return to the Meccan power structure. Certainly no secular government should give preferance to any belief.

Mr Ellis,
I don't know where you grew up, but if you think that even ONE true American child will EVER convert to your gutter religion, you are sadley mistaken..!!!
Our sons and daughters have already begun the fight that will last 20 yrs or more, and all it will take is one more attack by your COWARDLY baby killers, and you will think that the last crusade was a picnic...!!!
Your sons started this, and our sons will finish it when they are standing over your people hoisting the flag of the US of A..!!!

My existance prooves you wrong.
I grew up in Montgomery, Alabama. I'm a white convert. Then, I guess you would not call me a true American? But you don't know me; you don't know half of what you claim to. I would gladly die protecting both of our rights as democrats.
You better get started apologizing because 1 out of 10 Muslims in England is white like me. Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world. Yet, you know nothing of it. If you were to see me on the street you would wave and never know that I pray kneeling toward Mecca.
