And check out the below link. This just happened in Dearborn Michigan
just 3 hrs north. With the 10,000 Hezbollah sympathizers there, who
knows if this isn't a sleeper cell somewhere in there(or elsewhere)
waiting to happen??
I have a few problems with this link. First off it's on a blog; which I find good for interesting prespectives; but not for news. Journalists are at least suspossed to have a neutral bias when reporting. Also it's over 2 years old and I couldn't verify this story with any other sources.

Also this is the mantra on their site bugged me:
A website oriented to reason, freedom and all the principles which make these possible, and endorsing capitalism as the only moral system for humans.

Conversely, this site uncompromisingly exposes Islam as an evil philosophy totally opposite of Enlightenment values and the fifth columnists linking with Islamists in an "unholy alliance" to bring down America and the free world.
Islamic extremists might be against America but the whole of Islam? I doubt it. I also do not think capitalism is the only moral system for humans; capitalism has it's problems too.

I can honestly say that when I went to Europe earlier this summer, I tried to respect the languages and cultures to the best of my ability and was not harassed for being a non-native to those countries at all.

Maybe everyone should take a trip to a foreign country and get a little insight... Get over yourselves. Being a white anglo-saxon protistant american does NOT mean you instantly get to judge anyone who is not exactly the same as you.

Am I a f*#king terrorist since I have had Pakistanian friends and co-workers?? Links to known terrorist organizations my ass!

On that note, I'm so looking forward to completing my education and getting the f#ck away from this ignorance.

Oh, and The Sun is a complete RAG too.
Maybe we need to miss one of these plots soon to wake people the hell up to what these people are capable of.
Maybe if you walked in the shoes of someone else for a while you'd realize how harmful ignorant statements like that can really be. Seriously, have you EVER gone anywhere outside of the continental united states???
How about taking that quote in context before labeling me a xenophobic racist redneck, you ignorant jerk. 3 men of middle eastern descent, bought over 1000 pre-paid cell phones in a matter of days (which is a crime in and of itself), but failed to purchase any minutes to actually use the phones for their intended purpose. Suspicious???? Yes, I believe so. If you want to bury your head in the sand and pretend it's not suspicious go right ahead, but I have relatives who live less than 10 miles from that bridge, and my wife, daughter and I will be crossing that bridge in less than 5 days, so I take threats like this seriously. Unfortunately for those of you who wish to smoke your peace pipes and sit around your campfires singing kumbaya till the high wears off, there are sleeper cells and hamas and hizbollah supporters in the US, many of them concentrated in Detroit and it's surrounding suburbs. I certainly don't intend to imply that all people from the middle east are terrorists, and anyone who knows me knows that. To be honest, I could care less what you think though, so go stick your head back in your bong and call me in 20 years.

Always wonder when the "race card" is going
to be played. Seems like diversion from the
subject to me.

Here's two more scenarios!

Sigh.... :roll:

Haha. If they bought no minutes how would they use them as remote detonators?
This system cannot be reformed or voted out of office because reforms and elections do not challenge the fundamental causes of injustice.

I'm all for this. It was a demonstration; plain and simple. They're motives may be skewed in some cases but it's 100% American to disagree with your government and then demonstrate in some fashion.

I don't think of this as a threat but rather a concequence of America's support in something (in this case the nation if Isreal).

I'm not 100% certain about this, but don't most pre-pay phones INCLUDE minutes when initially purchased? It's up to the consumer to purchase additional minutes once the initial minutes are used.

correct. according to tracfone's website, you're provided with 2 months of activation and 10 minutes right out of the box.

How can your statement be taken as anything BUT racism? Since when was buying cell phones illegal?

And by the way. I have never smoked ANYTHING out of a bong, or any marajuana at any time in my life. So you can shove your comments about hippies.

And as far as labelling you as a "a xenophobic racist redneck", I did no such thing. I said that the comment was racist and xenophobic.

If you want to make reference to yourself as a redneck, those are your words, not mine.

And I hate "kumbaya" so shove it back into whatever hippie reference you got it from.
