The Miami Seven Islamofascists

I was watching Bill O'Reilly on Fox News the other night. He had two defense attorneys representing certain of the "Miami Seven." I found it alarming that the apparent defense strategy is that these Islamofascists did not actually commit any crimes. They just thought about it. O'Reilly pointed out that one of the Miami Seven was trying to make contact with what he thought was an al-Qaeda representative to commit to the cause of bringing down America.

One of the Lawyers retorted that was not a crime, it was entrapment by the FBI. I am with O'Reilly, who said it is conspiracy to commit a crime or crimes and thus is a crime.

I will not be surprised to discover that the ACLU or CAIR will weigh in for support for these Islamofascists who definitely had the goal of murder and mayhem.

The Stackelbeck blog on the CBNnews.com web network had this to say:

Terrorist Cell Busted in Miami
The indictment of seven Muslim men in Miami for plotting to wage war against the U.S. is the latest blow against homegrown terrorist cells here in the West. It also comes on the heels of the arrests of 17 Muslim men in Canada earlier this month. Here's more, from AP:

To obtain money and support for their mission, the conspirators sought help from al-Qaida, pledged an oath to the terrorist organization and supported an al-Qaida plot to destroy FBI buildings, the four-count indictment charged.

[Cell leader Narseal] Batiste met several times in December 2005 with a person purporting to be an al-Qaida member and asked for boots, uniforms, machine guns, radios, vehicles and $50,000 in cash to help him build an "'Islamic Army' to wage jihad'," the indictment said. It said that Batiste said he would use his "soldiers" to destroy the Sears Tower.

... I firmly believe that the next attack on U.S. soil will originate not from a group directly linked to al-Qaeda, but from a homegrown group such as the one in Miami. They blend into American society easily, and are much harder to detect as a result.

I agree and disagree with Stakelbeck: Increasingly it is the home grown Islamofascist that is influenced by literature from Wahhabis in Saudi Arabia and the Muslim Brotherhood (Egypt) that will take root as a cancer in America; however I also think lax immigration restrictions across the borders of Canada and Mexico will embolden Islamofascists to enter America.

The horror will be the union of agenda from Islamofascists from within and from without.
