Analyst's note: Absolutely must read. The answer to Mr. Smith's question in the title of this article is political correctness and the fact that too many have not realized that we really are at war with those who practice the global Islamist jihad. They are infact operating within our national borders because of it. We have reported here a felon and a Muslim - likely a jihadist - smuggling weapons and ammunition out of the U.S. and we still fail connecting - the - dots. Our standard media must do better.
"[....] Hassan Jamile Salame (clearly a Muslim name) is from Dearborn Heights- Dearborn, Michigan (a hotbed of Shia Islam with an increasing number of Hizballah sympathizers which concerns intelligence and counterterrorism experts nationwide). Hizballah (which is an Iranian-supported Shia terrorist army, which the U.S. State Dept. has officially designated a terrorist organization) is based in Lebanon (Hizballah’s primary base of operations) where Salame allegedly tried to smuggle “the guns and ammunition.”
But what’s even more disturbing is that there were only two publications nationwide that covered this story – the Charleston (S.C.) Post Courier and WIS-TV’s website (the NBC affiliate in Columbia) – and neither mentions or even attempts to make the starkly obvious Hizballah connection."
