The Lodi Arrests: "Reactions from the 'Blogosphere'"
Topics: War on TerrorHyscience, Jawa Report, California Conservative, The Daily Polemic, and La Shawn Barber were mentioned in "al-Qaeda" Camp Lodi's local print media today.
Like Rusty at Jawa Report says, "Man, it's not every day that you get mentioned in The Lodi News Sentinel! I(we) have finally made it."
California Conservative writes - "Going with this week's big story about a suspected al-Qaeda terrorist training camp uncovered in Lodi, California, The Lodi News-Sentinel reports: "As news of the arrests of four men in Lodi spread this week, World Wide Web logs, or blogs, which often view the day's news through highly opinionated lenses, were quick to post items on the arrests.""
""Highly opinionated?" Who? Us?"
The Sentinal's article "Reactions from the 'Blogosphere'" includes:
As news of the arrests of four men in Lodi spread this week, World Wide Web logs, or blogs, which often view the day's news through highly opinionated lenses, were quick to post items on the arrests.
"It looks like Al-Qaeda picked Lodi as a West Coast base of operations," read one post from the California Mafia Web site, http://camafia.blogspot.com.
At The Jawa Report, http://mypetjawa.mu.nu, the author says the arrests "puts a whole new meaning on that CCR song" referring to the Creedence Clearwater Revivial song "Stuck in Lodi."
The post goes on to say that one of the more worrisome aspects of the story is that a few of the men arrested were in the process of setting up a religious school. (The FBI has reported that the men overseeing the Farooqia Islamic Center on Lower Sacramento Road were being held on administrative immigration holds.)
At the California Conservative site, http://www.californiaconservative.org, a post on the news referred to a al-Qaida's "camp Lodi" and at Rand Holman's The Daily Polemic, thedailypolemic.blogs.com, the author states he's "more convinced than ever that Al Qaeda has indeed made a determined effort to plant operatives in the United States as American citizens."
According to the site http://www.hyscience.com/ the arrests in Lodi are "just a tip of the iceberg" of al-Qaida's efforts to "destroy American and European freedoms as we know them."
Blogger La Shawn Barber puts a link to a news article on the arrests in a post on his site http://www.lashawnbarber.com that calls for an end to all immigration.
Hyscience is grateful to be mentioned in the Lodi-News Sentinal, and does appreciate the 'Sentinal's appreciation' of input from bloggers. And while I'm certain that many of the townspeople are upset about this, perhaps the matter should be a wake-up call for all of us.
Just how is an entire town as small as Lodi fooled by it's Muslim population to believe that "nothing's going on when even the damned ice cream truck driver is alleged to be participating in Islamist's plans to blow us up?
Try being lulled to sleep by a politically motivated and naive attitude to be 'tolerant of Muslim's' while they plan our destruction. Sami al-Arian was a university professor, this nut drives an ice cream truck. THINK ABOUT IT!
The Muslims there don't know what's going on in their own damned mosque? These guys wanted to start a "religious school" to teach what - terror? This is going on throughout America and we need to wake up to the fact that we are at war with Islamists and they damned sure are at war with you and me.
