http://www.wnbc.com/news/13274813/detail.html?dl=mainclick It's a breaking story. I'll keep this thread updated. And again our security services bust up another attack. Great news.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>"Who is going to take care of my wife and kids?" one suspect asks on the tape, according to investigators. Another responds, "Allah will take care of your wife and kids."The alleged terror cell is described by investigators as disciples of Osama Bin Laden. Among the evidence seized was the downloaded will and testament of two Sept. 11 hijackers.</div>
Think goodness. You may want to bash Bush all you want, but this is one area everybody has to agree hes done a good job with...homeland security. Ive always been scared of a attack against Memphis(we have a militant base, and we're the trade center of the world...big target), and this atleast shows me the homeland security is doing something right.
I highly doubt an attack in Memphis would ever happen. It's most likely on a coast..for the record I live like 45 minutes from Fort Dix
Naw this is real, Memphis was #8 on a list of notable targets the military found...atleast thats what I heard.

Not Memphis. It might have made high on the list because of it's targets but it's not where terrorists would idealy go.
If Memphis shut down, the US's trade would be screwed. You obvisouly dont know how much stuff comes through Memphis daily. But thats okay, I dont want them to attack us.
I heard this on the news earlier, good job on this. Glad it didn't cause another event and make Americans even more scared. From what the story said, I am pretty sure the attack wasn't going to happen for quite a while though, not sure if that is right though just heard it in the background.

The way these people use Allah is weird. Thinking he will take care of them after dead, which some how they think that is a reason to kill people. Glad nothing developed

Thats scary, just to think somehow terrorists can get vulnerable americans to be part of stuff like this.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (austingriz @ May 9 2007, 03:28 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Lmao, seriously? Wow, why would he do that, thats stupid.</div> That's the different between professional trained Al-Qaeda and stupid American terrorists (4/6 of them were illegal so they weren't Americans). They don't understand security, don't have 1/10th the training. That's why these people keep getting busted.

Glad nothing developed</div>They have this documentary called Suicide Bombers, or something like that. I don't know if it's new, or old, but it goes into the life of suicide bombers and tells about what they think. I watched it the other day, and if you or anyone else gets a chance you should watch the documentary, it's a good one. In it, it's the extreme minority of Muslims, that are these extremists and think that blowing themselves up is going to cause them to go to paradise. They majority of Muslims world wide doesn't agree with this way of thinking, and are good honost people. Pretty much this minority thinks that the Quran is telling them, that they need to try to turn the world Muslim, and if people are not Muslim they need to blow it up. They are often raised to think this way, from poor backgrounds, and really just don't know any better. They think that the Quran tells them if they become martyrs for Islam, by blowing people up including themselves, that they will become saved and go to Paradise. Paradise is pretty much heavan, that 70 members of their family will be saved by this act, and the men will get 72 virgins in paradise. That is just how they are raised, and what they are brainwashed into thinking. Again though, that is the extreme minority of Muslims, most Muslim followers world wide do not believe this at all nor do they follow that way of thinking. Having been to a few different Middle Eastern countries, I know that a majority of Muslims world wide, are good, honost, hardworking people.

I used to think(like alotve people still do) that all muslims believe in this, but Ive learned, like you said, its a minority of muslims. Unfortunely, it seems these type of Muslims have the most power despite them being a smaller population. For many people who dont know, the Quran is extremely similiar to the Bible and Torah. Except for some changes(liekl the Isaac/Ishmael thing) and different order of books(which is like that in all three different mono-texts), people would be suprised how similiar it is. Of course, the Quran has Mohammed being the last prophet, and Jesus being only a prophet, not the messiah. Many people dont realize that in the past theres been Christians who died and killed in the name of God(of course they were never as big as the muslim extremists are now).

The list was a total pork barrel and nothing more, the freakin' golden gate bridge wasn't listed as a target but "Amish Popcorn Co" was.
On what list? The list im talking about was found about a month after we invaded Afghanistan. It had like New York as target one, San Francisco as two, and DC as the 3rd or 4th...
