Jihad in Rockford, IL: What the MSM Won’t Tell You
From VDare, a website I do like, but some here might find too rightwing. See original article for various linked materials
By Scott P. Richert

The arraignment Friday December 8 of a Muslim convert on charges of planning an act of "violent jihad" at the largest mall in Rockford, Illinois, has left many people asking how such a thing could happen in this "middle-sized town in the middle of the Middle West."

They shouldn’t be so surprised.

For almost five years now, I’ve been writing about the presence of Islam here in the Heartland, most recently in the December issue of Chronicles. Yet even today, people want to believe that the Islamic threat is entirely external. After all, President Bush and supporters of the war in Iraq have told us that "We’re fighting them over there so that we don’t have to fight them over here."

Apparently, someone forgot to explain that to Derrick Shareef.
