Political Correctness
Perhaps CNN thought it was irrelevant to mention the Islamic religious affiliation of those planning to bomb a synagogue and shoot down a US military airplane.
The CNN article doesn’t once mention any sort of religious affiliation, desire to avenge muslim deaths, nor the desire to, “do jihad.” I suppose it was not an important detail.
Does it really matter what religious affiliation they were…although with a last name like Williams (assuming it’s not a pseudonym), I’m not thinking middle eastern.
Before the FBI provided these “terrorists” with the neutered explosives, this group was just a bunch of guys with a common, albeit unreasonable, hate. Based on the article, it almost sounds as though these guys are victims of entrapment. Had the informant not provided the hardware, it would be much easier to view it otherwise.
I would love to talk to some people who knew these guys and i would just bet that they were telling everyone that they were just normal peace loving muslims, building bridges in the light and killing people in the night.
the problem biff, is that if i am handed a gun and try to use it “fake or real” it proves that my true desire it to use a gun to harm , your thinking is seriousely flawed. if it was not in them to harm people then it would not matter how many weapons of what kind they had, i own many guns and for some reason i am able to control myself,
and i would bet you that the informant did not say, hey guys i got a bunch of c-4 you can have,,,,,,,,, i am sure that they had to ask for it , so that it would hold up in court, in the not to far future on of these groups will get thier hads on the real stuff, thank goodness our FBI is keeping tabs on these jackasses,
Looks like hate crime to me……if it were really a group upset with US poilicy in Afgan why hit a temple? Confused L
To not talk the religious affiliation of the four is to not talk about the facts. New organizations have an obligation to get the facts out there. CNN this was just bad reporting!
Its fake. A planned drama to divert recent US troubles again to so-called terorism.
Sounds like funny. Offering fake arms and then arresting.
That’s the thing. Not once did they try to use the weapons so graciously provided by the FBI. If these devices were completely inert, then the FBI should have let them plant them just to be sure that they had the intent to commit a crime or if this was just a bunch of guys shooting their mouths off.
Conspiracy theories abound here. The terror level was getting far too low so, in order to justify massive military spending overseas where they are bombing the afghans, the FBI magically finds this little “terror cell” and brings attention to the fact that if they’re not blown to smithereens, they’ll be in our backyards blowing us up. This isn’t rocket surgery, it’s a continuation of the post 9-11 fear mongering.
This can’t be true the war on terror is over. Ob erman said it
I completely noticed this as well. After reading Accociated Press and Foxnews, it is clear that CNN is the weaker of the news networks.
Indicating the fact that these were converts to islam wanting to commit a jihad on civilian jewish targets is the real issue at hand. An issue that digusts me and CNN fails to report once again as they move closer and closer to looking like BBC (the shiriah law network)….cough cough influenced and run by muslim affiliation unwilling to recognize the global violent muslim issue.
CNN has gone downhill for a year now, ever since they began their bias bending over for Obama.
The only honest people on this network are Lu Dobbs and Larry King.
Clearly, Cnn has an agenda. What it is, I do not know. What it isn’t is this. It isn’t to report the news in whole, that is certain. For that, CNN has made a clear decision before the American people, it will not say anything negative about Muslims, or mosques. It is biased, and it is not reporting the news in its entirety. CNN, you’re a has been and a left wing news org that has become nothing more then a mouthpiece for leftwing politicians and leftwing loving journalists, both homegrown and foreign. Shame on you. I have to venture to FOX and BBC and other orgs of journalism for the entire story as you CNN is now in bed with those that will not say anything negative about these guys because they are Muslim. And if that is true, it is the likes of CNN who are dividing this country race and religious wise by the way in which they go out of their way not to mention the facts in this case that those involved were Muslims attempting Jihad.
WTF? CNN doesn’t mention Muslim, Mosque or Jihad one time!!! CNN, you’re so obvious. Thanks. Now I know who is an ally to our common enemy. I expect files on your editors as thick as NY phone books are in the possession of the F.B.I. and H.L.S. You clearly aid and comfort those who would commit jihad against American citizens. For that, you are aiding their cause and I expect you will pay the price in lost revenues and lost privacy.
Hmmm, this whole conspiracy to blow something up stinks.
Why does the government help these so called “Terrorists” , why not let them do what they want, and find out if they are getting those bombs/arms from another source?
Why is our government providing them with the ability to go through with an attack?
Why not wait until you can catch the retards that want to blow up buildings and also the people that supplied them with cash, or the arms….
To me this case shouldn’t even go to trial, they should be free. Entrapment by our government does not count in my book
I think that it is very important where all of this hate is coming from. Sadly it is the middle east from so called Muslims. I really don’t care how many times a day they put their butts up in the air so long as they leave us alone and don’t try to kill and murder us. Picking the Jews as escape goats shows only ignorance. The truth is that practiced Islam is a very oppressive faith. It represses men and women alike, demands all kinds of rituals and teaches hatred towards Jews and others. The penalty for leaving it is death. So there is lots of pent up anger there. The other is that of all the Muslim countries, most are ruled by despots and murderers. Seems to me that all this pent up hate and anger is being directed at the wrong place and peoples. That these miscreants bought into the lie is indicative of the insidious nature of the threat. I would meter out a most harsh punishment on these people than they would probably get. Needless to say, I am so glad they were caught. When will they learn that they have already lost!
first they are quick to reports that these guys are afghans and or have afghan heritage, and they are Muslims or Muslim converts. then today they show the pics of these guys who are all black men with names like Williams and they are American citizens with claims that they been converted in jail. Then today the news said that no his parents lived in Afghanistan. lol They need to get their facts straight before reporting false info and quick to blame everything on Muslims. They don’t look very middle eastern or afghan to me like the they claimed. very funny.
Biff you are a f*cking idiot. They actually PLANTED the inert bombs at a synagogue. Did you read the article at all? Even the CNN version, while whitewashed of any mention of the fact that they are Muslim, couldn’t afford to leave out that information. Are you people blind? They loaded up a car with what they thought was C4 and parked it at the synagogue, with the full intent of blowing up the building, its occupants, and anyone that might have been nearby, including you. While they are indeed un-cunning terrorists they are not innocent or, unfortunately, incompetent. We would have learned that the hard way if they had procured real C4 (like they intended).
Actually Cnn was the first network that said that these guys are muslims converts and one of the guys have afghan heritage which later came out not to be true.
Haha. This makes me laugh. Considering the “bombing” was just across the street from my school, there were FBI agents, Police and of course the media circling all day. Still there in fact. (We had a show at school).
The hate does not come from muslims at all. It comes from the inherent lack of faith, (if that is the right term), in their own country. The “leader” of this group was an american of Afghani decent. He was in jail and decided to blame the jews. (What a surprise). He got the other three to join him saying that its a way to get back at society.
I would say that it’s scary, but its not. In my opinion, such attacks are stupid.
Any religious extremist, (by any I mean Islamic, christian, etc.), always goes after the jews.
Their religion, their passion, their belief in God would not exist if it were not for the jews. Judaism was the first centralized monotheistic religion. Christianity and Islam stem from Judaism. If they actually learned about their religion, they would see this.
Its cowardly and stupid to go after any specific group of people, especially one that has been blamed from many, many things.

It’s funny that people “American people” mostly believe everything they here. Three U.S. citizens and a Haitian supposedly planed the attack. What makes them Muslim, is it the fact that they had hatred towards the U.S. Government that is pretty much funded by Jews. That don’t make them Muslim. It all goes back to “Enemy of my enemy is my friend”, and the situation in Middle East plays a big part it. Sooner or later people will realize that they are being fed bullshit and that’s when the real “Change” will come in this country.
Tragically, there are two “real” stories behind the attempted terror plot that are being overlooked. The first one, identified by the author is the mainstream media’s attempt to whitewash the nature of the attack. It wasn’t just CNN but nearly every media outlet including the NYT’s and WaPo. See http://thefifthcolumnreport.blogspot.com/2009/05/white-supremacists-target-black.html which chronicled the lack of appropriate media reporting. 2008 marked the year that the media “died” and this lack of reporting only confirms this.
Another and perhaps more important story being overlooked is any “investigative” reporting that tracks the background of these men. Were they regular attendees of a particular “mosque” or “community center”? What was being taught in these places? Again, the media is ignoring these very important leads.
