   …Amawi and El-Hindi are U.S. citizens, and Mazloum came to the U.S. legally from Lebanon.

   I wonder how many come illegally from our Southern AND Northern borders.

   Mohammad Amawi, Marwan El-Hindi, and Wassim Mazloum, all of whom are Muslim, were convicted on all counts of conspiring to kill or injure people outside the United States and face sentences of life in prison.

   And another 3 bite the dust.

   Now, these are people that should have access to the US criminal justice system. You know, because they are Americans. Regardless of how crappy they are. And it looked like the system did the right thing for them. Maybe they should be sentenced Sharia-style and let the bodies hit the floor.

   Well AP is running it, so it should be re-printed tomorrow… you got to give them a day or two to spin it. And CAIR needs time to get the government to pay for set-up of the websites demanding their release.

   The Mosque they are from should be destroyed. This will help other false god worshiping POS to think twice before allowing terrorists to hide among them.

   BTW, did anyone elce think these three examples of the religion of peace look like terrorists?

   Yes, I profiled, but stay on topic.

    That’s a trick question huh? Everybody knows celebrities are much more important than someone who only wants to kill you.

    Yeah, but how many years is a life sentence nowadays? Especially for someone with any kind of financial backing and good lawyers?

    R. Kelly got himself an O.J. caliber jury in Chicago, in Chicago. I’m shocked, just shocked. Another example of subculture justice.

    And for those poor Muslim boys, such good boys, doing Allah’s work. We just don’t understand these moderate Muslims.

    “And El-Hindi was a married father of seven.”

    Math was never my strong point, but it seems to me that we don’t need ANY immigration. In fact we need to errr, “motivate” people to LEAVE the country (beyond those that threaten to leave if McCain wins) if ya know what I mean.

    I’m sure Tim Russert will dominate the news headlines… a true blue. As to R. Kelly and the jihadists… I’m sure Kelly’s young, bobblehead, fans will be gratified whereas, since America doesn’t think terrorists will ever harm them or that we’re even in a war, they’ll just shrug their shoulders and say, “so what?”

    Russert will dominate for how he shaped and influenced the coverage of politics… and how he will probably be the last of the true blues of the old media.

    You will excuse me if I don’t too excited until I hear what their sentences are. A Supreme Court wannabee is probably on the bench and will sentence them to time served and a really stern lecture on proper hygiene of their beards. Oh and an apology for not having a Koran handy for them to hug.

    These poor misunderstood Islamists!

    How dare law enforcement take “pre-emptive” steps to thwart their plans, and protect US citizens!

    This is America, darn it, and WE are not supposed to take ANY action until AFTER the deed has been done!!! I mean, how do we know whether or not any of their alleged plans could have been carried out?

    Well, at least Al-Hindi has seven little martyrs that will grow up to avenge him, eventually. Lucky us.

    It will only be as strong as the government or MSM make an effort to instruct the public as to what took place. Sadly I do not see this happening.

    I noticed that the second story in the Google search was titled “Islamic community worries stereotyping may result from Toledo terror trial”. Typical.

    And as for ’sending a message’, I think the Death Penalty sends a stronger message. Or how about trial for Treason?

    Wow! It’s great to see people from my hometown making news. Look folks, being located between Detroit and Cleveland makes it tough to get noticed. We had to stage a KKK march and have riots, then a crazy lawyer faking her kidnapping and holing up in Georgia, and now these half-ass jihadis. Just imagine if we had a crazy mayor who…yeah, we got that too.

    That defense attorney is a joke. All you have to do now is the Obama-dope trick and all of your bad associations just float away.

    Wait a minute!

    The United States Deptment of State says that there’s to be no discussion of or acknowledgement of any connection between Islam and acts of so-called terror.

    And we’re not allowed to mention the word jihad.

    So, stop, already.

    It’s got to be something else that drove these guys to misunderstand their religion. Poverty, unemplyoment, frustration at non-assimilation into our society, or something.

    It’s not Islam. Can’t be. Uh uh. No no no. Find something else.

    And don’t ever mention this idea again.

    Which will get more media attention:

    A) R&B singer R. Kelly’s acquittal on child pornography charges; or

    B) The conviction of three Muslim jihadis in Toledo, Ohio on charges of plotting to kill U.S. soldiers in Iraq?

    I bet if we executed them as traitors (presuming they are citizens), it might raise the interest tally a bit.

    Let’s find out.

    Maybe it’s not a big story because they aren’t acting like terrorists in the U.S. but rather just seem interested in fighting invaders/occupiers in Iraq.

    The story says:
    Prosecutors said the men were learning to shoot guns and make explosives while raising money to fund their plans to wage a holy war against U.S. troops.

    Although these guys were here in America, and had the perfect opportunity to kill civilians in the heartland of America, they didn’t even try.

    Clearly, their goal isn’t to terrorize U.S. civilians — that would have been a LOT easier for them then trying to go all the way to Iraq to fight with the resistance.

    Are they really terrorists? Or do they just want to fight an ordinary war, by ordinary rules? They just seem to want to go to war, and fight the enemy’s soldiers.

    Now, they’re still the enemy of the U.S. — but they don’t seem to be the fanatical kill-all-Americans type of terrorist we’ve been told we should be fearing. They just seem mad about the occupation of Iraq.

    These 3 would be murderers worked out of the same Toledo building I regularly entered for medical treatment. Their office was visible and gave people the creeps. So glad to know that there is nothing to this false charge of Islamofacism in America rumor other than racism. I mean its not like Muslims are arrested and convicted of trying to murder Americans every single week all across the USA including my home town. I just hope that if Muslims are successful in a mass murder scheme here in the US, that their victims be those who are most vocal that there is no threat from Muslims, or better yet, target the scum who have fabricated lies about our soldiers being sadistic murderers.
