Terrorist Suspect a Comic Book Fan....

[PEP]

Suburban Mass. Man: Comics Fan, Math Teacher, Terror Suspect

 

BOSTON — Tarek Mehanna grew up in Boston's upscale suburbs, earned a doctorate in pharmacology, taught religion and math at a Muslim middle school and was considered a typical American kid by those who knew him. Yet Mehanna, who had Egyptian and U.S. citizenship, told a friend he felt out of place in America, according to documents filed in court. And prosecutors say he used his hostility toward this country in a plot to kill U.S. troops in Iraq, assassinate top politicians and shoot down shoppers in U.S. malls.

 

.....

 

Dr. Abdul Cader Asmal, a family friend who was president of the Islamic Center of Boston in Wayland when Mehanna was a middle school student attending weekly religious education classes, remembered him because they shared an interest in Superman. He said Mehanna would bring comics to show in class.

What I'm happy about is that our law enforcement agencies are catching more and more of these alleged nut-jobs before they are able to do something terrible. Kudos should go out to these law enforcement officers who work so hard to keep us safe.

I wonder how he would feel to know that Superman's creators were Jewish.

 

Muslim extremism the antithesis is logical thought and common decency as well as core Islamic beliefs.

I will say that I disagree with organized religion in principle. To me it contradicts what it originally sets out to do.
