#1 turned their back on American pop culture....For detectives, they can now look at a series of signals

You might be an Islamist terrorist if ...
you don't check out Hilton/Spears/Lohan web sites every day.

#2 I like the idea that's "homegrown". Deep down, you've got to reach the conclusion it's not homegrown at all, it's imported, first generation or followings, as muslims pour into non-muslim countries - and terror is only the surface threat.

#3 One nice thing about Muzz...they keep repeating patterns over and over...with or without educations. Now that we have all this fine information, what are we doing about it ? Are they being quietly gathered up ? Disappeared from our streets ? The next step needs to be executed, if you know what I mean.

#5 It's really not new - substitute 'communism' for 'Islam' and 'european' for for 'muslim', and you pretty much have the same scenario from the early 20th century.

#6 The early 20th century? Wasn't the real issue then the violent anarchists? Who, admittedly, morphed into both fascists and marxist-trotskyist-leninist-stalinists a few years later. (Splitters!)

#7 I didn't want to complicate things. Anarchists from the late 1800s to the early 1920s. Communism from thereon.

#8 All this time I've been telling my kids that MTV is bad. Guess I should just let 'em watch and be grateful for it.

#9 Yes Abu. My design to take over the world is to provide free sat tv and run Randy Newman's 'I Love LA' repeatedly. It will be the utter destruction of any other civilization unable to adapt. Mawhahahahahahh. :)

#10 Do you mean like Adam Yahiye Gadahn or otherwise screwed up losers?

#11 I thought this looked familiar. The linked article is from August 2007. Still relevant, however.

#12 The NYPD traced how legal immigrants - mostly Muslim men, ages 15 to 35, with high school or even college degrees - grew disillusioned with life in America or other adopted countries and took up radical Islam that put them on the path to jihad.

No offense to the fine folks at NYPD, who (literally) risk life and limb policing that City, but I could've told ya this in far less than 90 pages, and probably a LOT cheaper too. How many times have we stated...."Profile these guys (Muslims aged 18-35 or so) UNTIL 80 year-old Amish women start strapping on bombs."
