"Hysen Sherifi, 24, a native of Kosovo and a US legal permanent was also charged in the case. He was the only person arrested who was not a US citizen."A father, his two sons and four other men living in North Carolina are accused of military-style training at home and plotting "violent jihad" abroad, including against targets in Israel, federal authorities said Monday.
This undated photo provided by the City County Bureau of Identification in Wake County shows Mohammad Omar Aly Hassan. Hassan is being charged with conspiring to support terrorism and traveling overseas to participate in "violent jihad," according to an indictment unsealed Monday.Officials said the men were led by Daniel Patrick Boyd, 39, who resided in a small lakeside home in a rural area south of Raleigh, where he and his family walked their dog and operated a drywall business.

Opie, I fear that Islam will become a convenient and attractive haven for those in our population who might otherwise fill there spare hours with masturbation and professional wrestling.
Rhod, I'm sure he wasn't fighting for the check at the Kandahar Howard Johnson.
He was a burnoose presser.
Nickie, to quote Aunti Mame, "how vivid."
Man, Auntie Mame. And pronounced "Ahn-tee".
