Americans, control your women!

[rah]

You should be afraid of a government capable enough to stage 9/11.

Speaking of making sense.

[DaShi]

Thanks for the dullard's opinion. Post again when you know what's going on.

[Kidlicious]

I'm not afraid of the U.S. government, I'm pissed off at it.

Why? Because you feel sorry for this woman?

If you think our government is capable of it (and keeping it a secret) or actually did it, You should just give up posting due to lack of a brain.

No, because it's run by crooks and liars.

Do you think they were incapable due to lack of competence or because they care about American lives? Just curious.

Aaand the charges for these deadly, extremist, violent, jihadist terr'ists is:

"Making menacing phone calls" & "failing to produce a passport"

Scary stuff!

5 months of investigation into Jihad Jane & God knows how much taxpayer money, and that's what we got. The prosecutor couldn't even get the judge to set a bail.

More likely DaShi was poking fun at the previous poster.

[DaShi]

I never poke fun at anyone. That implies I'm not being mean-spirited! :angy: :wiglaf:

[Theben]

Fine, you were being an ******* towards the previous poster.

[DaShi]

Thank you

Now that we've all been sufficiently frightened by this alleged 'homegrown' terr'ist (who was evidence of the 'evolution of terrorism' according to hysterical western headlines), she's been quietly released without charges.

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000...Tabs%3Darticle


Few will recall or even notice that she's been released, but the image of 'Jihad Jane' served the purpose of scaring sissy Americans out of their wits.

Noone was frightened. Noone was scared, let alone out of their wits. Frankly, the story of people trying to kill a cartoonist is, for the vast majority of semi-rational people, the interesting part. That it was an ugly western "woman" hardly plays into our fascination. Sure, it sucks that a western person could be so easily brainwashed but, let's be honest, we see it to lesser degrees most days; nonetheless, everyone remains aware that for every one 'homegrown' terrorist there are a thousand foreign ones and for every blond terrorist there are ten thousand of, well, you know who. Don't think or pretend for one minute that suddenly terrorism has or had become something homegrown or "evolved" (and let's not let those connotations go to waste) to any significant extent (that being, statistically, >5%).

Really, I find it amusing that you thought this frightened anyone except the cartoonist in question. Actually, Sweden being targeted was rather a relief... some time, effort and resources (and, presumably valuable agents) were spent on Sweden - that's outright incompetent.

It was stupid. That's it. Nobody could believe how stupid it was. No horror, sorry. I still say it's a dude.

[HalfLotus]

Get real, Eco.

According to the OP article, the FBI is afraid:

"LaRose represents one of the worst fears of intelligence and FBI analysts focused on identifying terrorist threats"

And according to ABC, the UK's Times, and scores of other media, you should be too.

'Jihad Jane's' Arrest Raises Fears About Homegrown Terrorists

Jihad Janes spread fear in suburban US

Jihad Jane arrest raises fears of "homegrown terrorists,

'Jihad Jane's' Arrest Raises Fears About Homegrown Terrorists

This is fearmongering, plain as day.

[Ecofarm]

It was not "fearmongering". The media was claiming that this was a fear of some agencies, for the purpose of sensationalism. You not only bought into the sensationalism, but assume many others did. You're wrong.

Nobody actually got scared (or "out of their wits"). That's what you fail to understand. I don't know a single person that gave a crap about this. Another crazy person - big deal. If asked about her, a majority of people on my block would not know who you are talking about.


You get real. What kind of imaginary box do you live in? You claimed Americans (as in, citizens, normal people) were scared out of their wits. Why don't you go ask some people if Jihad Jane made them extra scared?

Did "she" make you scared? Do you ever go outside?
