Don’t forget the stereotypical “jersey girls” too, georgej.

All of that, including the moronic wannabe-New-Yawkah accent, is NORTH Jersey. Those lousy buggers give those of us in the southern half of the state a bad name.

Just think of every bad thing you’ve heard about New Jersey, and I guarantee that at least 9 out of 10 will be localized to North Jersey.

The reason all these mosques are popping up everywhere is that the Saudis are paying for them as a Wahhabi missionary effort with the ultimate goal of converting the US into a Sharia state. Insane, but true. The Saudis also staff them with Wahhabi clerics who preach hate against America and supply them with anti-American hate literature and their own re-written Koran that indoctrinates Muslims to hate Jews and Christians and, well, everyone.

These Muslims are not immigrating to America, they’re colonizing it. They love America like termites love your home. They want to turn it into a giant termite mound/Sharia state because they can’t imagine anything better than that.

I believe the only reason we would tell them that we are going to be watching them is because we are more worried about the one’s we haven’t caught then the one’s we have.

I think another good reason is because the feds don’t actually have the resources to track all these guys ALL the time. Maybe they catch a couple overseas phone calls and an email or two. So some G-men go over to their house and tell them “We’re watching you” and the terrorist then has to think every time he wants to do something terroristy that we’re out there and we know what he’s doing all the time. In reality, we only caught the obvious stuff he did, but the effect is the same.

Seems pretty damn stupid to me as well.

Spot on!

“If it’s somebody who is simply communicating with somebody who is known to be an al-Qaida operative, that in itself is not illegal,” Cruise said. “It’s what they intend to do.”

Surely it is sufficient grounds to deport them.

I just wish that one of the Republican candidates would have to he guts to ignore political-correctness and begin talking about Middle Eastern immigration. Why are we letting all these people from alien cultures who want us to be Islamacized into the country?

It’s kind of like the Times interview earlier. Shutting down radical internet sites keeps propaganda from swaying young minds, but keeping them open allows you to gather intel. How do you determine what gives you a bigger payoff?

Ten years ago, in NY, I never saw anyone dressed in Muslim style clothing. Today, it’s a common occurrence.

Are you sure it goes back 10 years? I bet it goes back to post 9/11. It’s all part of the white guilt syndrome.

What possible purpose does it serve to tell jihadis that they’re being monitored?

Stirring up the snakes, perhaps? Monitor changes in activity post-warning? A cancelled ISP account might be revealing, cancelled phone services…etc…?

A paranoid mind makes mistakes.
captivated_dem on October 15, 2007 at 1:21 PM

Exactly! Breaks their concentration/focus because they now have to look over their shoulder everytime they make a move to see if someone is watching. Also, “monitoring” could mean a undercover agent. Now, who do you trust? Paranoia is a great weapon.

Perhaps the Mafia can whack ‘em.

Tony737 on October 15, 2007 at 12:27 PM

say word why dont we offer immunity to mafioso’s who kill the occasional jihadi

Letting them know “we’re listening” – A John Corzine “I won’t raise your taxes” promise.

Yes, it’s the KeyStone Cops on the case.
Wait till these Taliban types run into some of the folks in the Lakehurst area.

And the Sopranos is a television show.

Ten years ago, in NY, I never saw anyone dressed in Muslim style clothing. Today, it’s a common occurrence. There’s now a mosque in the sleepy Long Island town I grew up in. Don’t know how this happened. This site is pretty interesting to find the local Islamic centers near you.

If anything it buys us time to catch terrorist B before he actually does anything.

Yeah, seriously, where does the mafia stand on anti-terror?

I imagine they wouldn’t stand for child-killers any more than the rest of us…

unamused on October 15, 2007 at 1:02 PM

The Mafia stands for the Mafia, any thing they can make money off they will and I have no doubt that includes selling weapons and explosives to Jihadis.

I’d also like to know more about the Islamists living in Northern NJ then what this article provides. Such as, for example, how long have they been residing there? How did they arrive? Are they legally in this country? If they are here legally how in the f*ing world did we allow radical Islamic Jihadists to become citizens of our country? Which beaurocratic morons provided these jihadists with their stamp of approval? Can I smack them?

Yeah, why are we telling these people we’re watching them? That seems pretty damn stupid to me.

Yeah, not too many people in the NY metropolitan area are from here. The cost of living is too high; the quality of life is too low, the politics are too far left. The “native” stable part of the local population passed on or moved on. Everyone here seems to be a recent immigrant. There are pockets of people in certain neighborhoods that still resemble the NY of 50 years ago, but they don’t represent much of the pop. People do speak a kind of English. But even back when, this area wasn’t much like the rest of the US.

I imagine they wouldn’t stand for child-killers any more than the rest of us…
