"The Camden 28" is a documentary that should be watched to understand this event other than taking it at face value the way the media plays this. The FBI took a teenager who was poor, not too bright, easily influenced, and fit the media generated profile of a forign muslim terrorist.

The FBI entrapped this individual feeding him all the information and propaganda, they supplied him with the motive, the supplies, and gave him all the assistance up to the bomb failute. This event was FBI

If you really believe what the media is saying, such as CNN, FOX news, they are all controlled by a higher power, then you are surely blind and dumb. They are framing Islam and Muslims one by one for act's of terrorism. They won't tell you who really was behind this and 9/11. Though if you are smart and can see the truth, you can see explosives going off on the side of the buildings as they went down, and Tower 7 fell, they have none else to blame but the Muslims. Think about it.

Ok some of you are calling it entrapment. Not true it all comes down to intent and his intent was to kill as many people as he could if the FBI wouldn't of intercepted his messages and discovered this plot he would of found someone else or modified his approach(using an assult rifle in the large crowd can do a lot of damage as well)

Watch another report from the same FOX News Channel of an interview with a Muslim Youth Leader who condemned this plot and spoke about what his Muslim Youth Association is doing to combat this problem. He was there himself in downtown Portland spreading a message of peace just hours before this terror plot was put into action. Go to the AhmadiyyaUSA1 YouTube channel and see for yourself.

@globejack If you read the rules on entrapment the FBI walked a fine line, and if you read some of the local papers online you'll see this kid probably has a good pretty good defense (wrong or right as it maybe) I am sure this case will test some of the legal boundaries and possibly redefine the line of entrapment..

@globejack Just wikipedia Ku Klux Klan. It is a form of Christian Terrorsim. Read it and make your own decision. Question answered.

Look it up for yourself and make your own assessment because they are not my words. My last response ". .I do not think this 19 year old is innocent". Also, I do not know what exactly happenend just that I doubt the official story here.

Anyway I enjoyed the chat and sometimes its good to play devils advocate to know ones own arguement. Take care

@flippyflappy1 i proved no point its all in your head,I asked you a question and you chickned out(were does in the bible teaches racism against blacks like KKK?).that proofs that you have destorted view of reality like all muslims.I never claimed FBI was flawless I just claimed you had no way of nowing what happened and you were finding excuses for the terorist because he is a muslim.Its muslims who claim Islam is flawless and yet its filled with hate,intolerance,slavery,rape and pedopheli.

@globejack Thanks for proving my point, It did not make sense because it is hypocrisy. Your bias is based on islamaphobic propaganda. I do not think this 19 year old is innocent but I doubt it would have materialised without the FBI. Watch the "camden 28" .

On second thought, you are 100% correct, the news has it right with perfect clarity. I will shut up now and accept everything as I am told. The FBI are flawless and this twit did everything all by himself. I've been converted.

[globejack]

@flippyflappy1 your the one claiming FBi feeded him propaganda and motive etc,in the news they just said that they provided him with fake explosive by meens of an infiltrated operative.I dont think you have the means to know what really happened your just making assamptions based on your biast views

[globejack]

@flippyflappy1 your comparison doesnt make sence the kkk is not a christian organasation there is nothing in the bible that preaches white supremacy,in fact bible was written by dark people.on the other hand the founder of Islam used murder war violence to expand his idiology.There is plenty of material in Koran and hadiths to fuel violence.Islam is a militant totaliterian shovinistic idiology. thats a fact both in litreture and in real life for many muslims and there infedel neighbours

I remember bringing a mouse into my house when I was young. I then woke my mom up by telling her there was a mouse in the kitchen. She then got to watch me take a hammer to it and get rid of it. To this day she doesn't know I put that mouse in there on purpose, with the intent of providing my solution with her as a witness, making me a hero.

The FBI didn't "thwart" anything. They made the situation by leading this kid on for nearly 2 years.
