The FBI should have been counting Muslims and mosques years ago. (Actually we should never have allowed hordes of these Islamist worshipers into our nation in the first place. Thanks be to Ted Kennedy for his immigration law.)
Americans have faced terrorism from radical Muslims for decades. Remember the spate of airplane hijackings by Muslims in the 1970's? The murder of 300 Marines in Lebanon by Muslim radicals? There are thousands of violent incidents that prove that Islam is a dangerous dogma that is virtually no different than communism or nazism. Muslim terrorism is not a new event for Americans--it just happened to finally arrive here on our shores on 9-11-2002.
The FBI has become paralyzed by political correctness and multicultural nonsense, and I have very little faith in them any longer. Their abuses at Waco and Ruby Ridge proved that they were an out-of-touch and out-of-control agency, and now we have to look to them to protect us. Nonsense! The FBI is so far behind in this "war on terrorism" that all Americans should be very scared indeed. Read about how the FBI paid me a visit because I had the audacity to actually accuse several Canadian Muslims of being terrorists. (http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=30020)
Our own President can't even bring himself to identify the enemy--Islam. He's still trying to maintain the BIG LIE about its "peaceful" nature, etc. Folks, we are in serious trouble. Don't wait for the government to protect you, because they can't even muster the courage to state the obvious about Islam.
