If you've been led to believe that all Al-Qaeda supporters exclusively comprise Muslims from the Middle East, you need to think again. A growing number of Al-Qaeda supporters are actually white, non-Muslims from other countries outside of the Middle East.
First, there is Adam Gadahn, 28, also known as Azzam al-Amriki or Azzam the American, a former resident of Orange County, Calif., who has been indicted in the Central District of California on charges of treason and providing material support for making a series of propaganda videotapes for Al-Qaeda. Gadahn is the first person to be charged with treason against the United States since World War II.
Then, there is white,non-Muslim support for Al-Qaeda in Europe. According to News Scotsman.com, hundreds of British non-Muslims have been recruited by al-Qaeda to wage war against the West. As many as 1,500 white Britons are believed to have converted to Islam for the purpose of funding, planning and carrying out surprise terror attacks inside the UK, according to one MI5 source.
One British security source indicated: "There could be anything up to 1,500 converts to the fundamentalist cause across Britain. They pose a real potential danger to our domestic security because, obviously, these people blend in and do not raise any flags."
"The exact figure of those who have converted to Islam and turned to terror is not precisely known. Not everyone who converts becomes radicalised and it may be that just two-fifths go down that path, but it remains a significant and dangerous problem."
More interesting than the newsworthiness of this article is the reaction from many of its commentators. Most took this tone as echoed by someone named icehawk:
At some point you just get sick and tired of hearing "WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!! THE TERRORISTS ARE GOING TO GET US!!!"
Enough already. The overblown, rediculous claims that the bad guys are going to get us is getting old. At what point will the news media finally say, enough already.
It's always amazing to see the extent that the secular far-left will go to deny the obvious. Their attempts to comfort themselves with false, misguided, naive, and dangerous denials of the facts and events that surround them every day would make the isolationists in the American First Movement of the late 1930s very proud.
