      This might be too early for me to say this but, it seems like someone cannot take a joke! And what's up with the name "Jihad Jane". Is a nickname or a legal name? Is this American a male or female? (I would like to guess female because of the name Jane attached to the end.)

      Nevermind, about the whole joke thing (in my first comment.) That's a little harsh- trust me with that. At the same time when Saddam Hussein's statues were toppled over, no one bother to kill the masses who participated in that. It shouldn't matter what other people think. The truth is not everybody will like you and they might be thinking about drawing your head on a dog's body too. On a side note, I was in Model United Nations last year- in this club we skipped school to attend Mock UN meetings. The presiding officer was completely rude and annoying, so the assembly would pass around really, really bad notes about him (including drawings of him similar to the dog's body thing.) Anyways, when he found out he ran out of the room literally crying. In both cases it is an overreaction.

      What's with people playing with the terrorism paranoia. It is a weak spot for many countries. Are these people just that despite for some control?
  • LaRose, who lived in Pennsburg, Pa., 35 miles north of Philadelphia, called herself "Jihad Jane" and "Fatima LaRose" online. She posted on YouTube in June 2008 that she was desperate to do something to help the suffering Muslim people. The message attracted contacts from people in Asia and Europe who invited LaRose to travel to Europe and train with jihadists, according to court documents.
    • Purnima Malik
      Purnima Malik on 05 Feb 11
       
      Oh, so LaRose is Jane. It seems like she lost her original intentions "to help the suffering Muslim people." Because killing someone else doesn't do anything but hurt other people. For the record killing someone else doesn't boost (at least it shouldn't boost a mentality stable persons) confidence. She could have helped in so many other ways, it is a shame.

    I'm glad to see that the illegal immigration rates are declining. But I think as the economy starts to show more growth and a lower unemployment rate; the illegal immigration rates will increase.

      1) This is a Californian Man who traveled all the way to a mosque in Michigan; that doesn't make any sense. Why go that far with explosives? 3) How did this man get the M-8os explosives? 2) Was the mosque preaching extremist teachings?
  • Stockham was arraigned on Wednesday on one count of false report or threat of terrorism and one count of possession of explosives with unlawful intent, police said in a statement.

      Ok, this man seems to be racised and paranoid.
  • history of anti-government feelings and he was attracted to Michigan because of its large Arab and Muslim population.

      This explains a lot! But you can't pick up explosives from the middle of a road.

  • mental instability or not, he could have caused a lot of damage." And, he added, "if his name was Ali or Muhammed and he did a similar thing at a synogogue, he would have been immediately labeled a domestic terrorist

      This is a good point. What will happen to Stockham? He can't be released- it is not safe, he is a walking hazard. I think he should be labeled as a domestic terrorist.
  • He says Stockham had been heard by an employee of a Detroit bar making anti-Muslim remarks, including "describing Muslims as the enemy." The employee took down Stockham's license plate and alerted police. When they found him in the mosque parking lot, police found a concealed knife on Stockham and a large amount of fireworks, including M-80 exlposives, in the trunk of his car

      Oh wow. And if the bar employee had not called the police 500 people would have been dead today. One little thing can go a long way. Again, I am completely puzzeled about the exlposives- How much was he carrying, How did he get them, Are they legal (because I don't think they are.)?
