On Monday, CBN News posted an article by Erick Stakelbeck (their terrorism expert) on domestic terrorism. Mr. Stakelbeck begins his article by talking about the Muslim Students' Association (MSA), a large Muslim organization with chapters on hundreds of college campuses in the United States and Canada.
The article points out:
"...American-born Muslims are behind a growing number of terror plots -- a trend that Attorney General Eric Holder has said keeps him "up at night."
"Many of these homegrown jihadists, Poole noted, once belonged to the MSA.
""Time after time, we see these terrorists -- and not just fringe members. These are MSA leaders, MSA presidents, MSA national presidents, who've been implicated, charged, and convicted in terrorist plots," he said."
I reported in rightwinggranny on March 10 on some of the American leadership in Al Qaeda:
"Anwar al-Awlaki was born in Las Cruces, New Mexico, and lived there until he was seven, moving to Yemen. He returned to America to go to college, studying at Colorado State University and San Diego State. Mr. al-Awlaki is the spiritual leader of Al Qaeda on the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). He consulted with two of the September 11 hijackers and was in contact with the Fort Hood shooter."
There are rumors that Anwar al-Awlaki is on the short list to replace Bin Laden.
I am glad Osama Bin Laden is dead. He was an evil man who intentionally declared war on civilians. However, we need to remember that his death will not impact the internal terrorist threat to the United States. Unfortunately, his death does not end the war on terror. That war is a conflict between Western Civilization and a tyranny masquerading as a religion that our children will probably still be fighting. As I said, I am glad Osama Bid Laden is dead, but that will not have a significant impact on the war on terror. The goal of Al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood (the parent organization of the MSA) is a world-wide caliphate. The death of Bin Laden does not change that.
