Enemies Amongst Us
Plot to Poison Food of British Troops Is Suspected
Islamic militants arrested in Britain this month may have been plotting to lace the food supply on at least one British military base with the poison ricin, according to American government officials. The revelations raised concerns in Britain and the United States about the security of allied forces as war preparations continue.
I wonder how many of these plotters are in our own country?
Shortly after midnight on Monday, a team of 150 police officers used battering rams in a raid on a mosque in the Finsbury Park section of London, where seven men were arrested.
Terrorists in a mosque!?!?!? Surely not! After all Islam is a religion of peace! Tsk Tsk.
I have yet to hear any sort of outcry from 'moderate' Muslims, condemning those that use their places of worship to plot murder. I guess I won't hold my breath.
"Supposing they were able to kill instead of 3,000 people, 30,000 people," Mr. Blair said. "Does anyone doubt that they would do it?"
Not me.
