And in the UK:
A Muslim convert made high explosives and a suicide vest with the intention of blowing himself up in a terrorist attack, a court was told today. [snip]Which is the greater threat? Which group has an ideology of murder? The dishonesty in coverage is putting American lives at risk.
Around Christmas 2007, Ibrahim is said to have told one classmate of his admiration for Abu Hamza while expressing forthright anti-American views and praising suicide attacks. A student in his chemistry class was told that the Pentagon should be bombed and that nuclear weapons were “cool”. He asked a visiting biology lecturer which bacteria were best for killing people.
At the same time Ibrahim began intensive internet research into radical Islam, which escalated over the next few months into learning online how to manufacture explosives.
One more thought. David Warren, in another context, What We Fight For:
On battlefields and off, the front line between good and evil will continue to pass through every human heart. No final victory is ever won down here; nor any final defeat suffered.
