I'll agree that we share a Judeo-Christian heritage (OK, the Christian heritage is on the US side.) The only way to become a Christian, however, is to accept Christ - something the Jews refused to do.

A minor point, perhaps, but the difference between life and death to those who might be reading this!

On that point I will agree with you. The life and death you are talking about is eternal.

Very good point!!!

WE are the first line of defense!

Report anything that looks odd and let the authorities figure it out. Better safe than sorry.

Have just come across a story that although does not tie in directly with this thread, is related. Here it is;

An al-Qaida-affiliated Internet site is cautioning Muslims to avoid being near planned targets of the terrorist group, reports Geostrategy-Direct, the global intelligence news service.

The Al-Battar Camp online magazine, stated in a June 29 posting that the measure was for Muslims' safety.

By providing the warning, the group is revealing its plans for attacks against "Christian companies, airlines and oil companies," according to a translation of the report.


The report, "A Warning to Muslims With Regard to Getting Close to Infidels and Oppressors," was written by Sheikh Amir Ibn-Abdullah al-Amir.

It advises Muslims, "If you are working with our infidel enemies, beware. Leave their quarters to save your religion, first, as well as for your own safety, should the mujahadeen target these infidel companies that hold enmity toward the Muslims and play a role in the war against Muslim nations. Beware of being with these infidels in this situation, lest you become afflicted by what will befall them. Al-Qaida has already warned and explained that it will be targeting these companies, especially the airlines, the oil companies and others run by the Christians."

U.S. intelligence officials said last week that terrorists are targeting transportation systems, including trains, ships and airlines as part of preparations for a major attack.

Likely methods include truck bombs or hijacked airliners.

Yup
Just like the "Threats" to shopping malls last Christmas, and various other "Intelligence" gathered by officials monitoring the internet.

I'm sure the terrorist are laughing their collective butts off watching the American public having to jump through hoops every time another "threat" is recieved.

"Hey Abdulla",......."Hold my goat's milk and watch this",.........."I'm going to e-mail Akhmed and tell him to avoid using 'Port-o-pottys' for the month of August"........"Let's see how many construction sites the Homeland Security Agency will close down".........
