CBN News has learned exclusively that five Muslim soldiers at Fort Jackson in South Carolina were arrested just before Christmas. It is unclear whether the men are still in custody. The five were part of the Arabic Translation program at the base.
The men are suspected of trying to poison the food supply at Fort Jackson.
A source with intimate knowledge of the investigation, which is ongoing, told CBN News investigators suspect the “Fort Jackson Five” may have been in contact with the group of five Washington, DC area Muslims that traveled to Pakistan to wage jihad against U.S. troops in December. That group was arrested by Pakistani authorities, also just before Christmas.
Coming as it does on the heels of November’s Fort Hood jihadist massacre, this news has major implications.
We had a muslim kid in my old unit who refused to leave the wire because he might have to shoot another muslim. Guy was a shitbag for other reasons, too.
Also funny the story gets buried, and our dear leader never mentioned it.
But muslims committing terrorist acts from within the military doesn’t fit into the president’s notion to reach out to the middle east and kiss their asses to make them like us.
People think we need to leave the Middle East, to me this is proof that we need to send more troops. We can fight them in their back yard or ours. And I do agree, racial profiling is BS!!! I’m not suggesting we use internment camps, there are plenty of good muslims out there, but lets not let political correctness be our fatal flaw. “Well America was destroyed, but at least they didn’t offend anyone”
I’ve heard about this from other people. Maybe they just saw the same article but they are service members and this may have been a topic of discussion recently. Anyhow, I really don’t know what this means. Sure we assume that Muslims in our military who get caught doing something bad must mean it was a really bad thing they did. For all we know this could have been a small attempt of revenge from them being hazed for their religious beliefs…etc we can’t really jump to conclusions.
When my Grandfather was stationed in Italy (15th AAF) during WWII this happened to them. A bunch of guys got sick from food prepared by locals from town and they suspected food poisoning.
During their next bombing run one of the bombs got hung up and on the way back came free just as they were flying over the town.
They didn’t experience any more problems with the locals after that.
no its not… its a tool of limited use, like all other tactics.
its more to do with HOW you racially profile, and what you then do about the conclusions you draw.
stopping random people because of the color of their skin and searching them down all over the place is no-go. or anything even close to that. but because there really aren’t that many around here, and the fact that their religion commands them to kill most of America, singling out muslim-looking people and keeping an extra eye on them is perfectly reasonable. this, while “unfair,” is practical, and WILL lead to the prevention of terrorist attacks against Americans.
I’m sure if you joined the military and told them your religion was Christian Identity you’d get a more than thorough check over. I think it is prudent to do the same with Muslims.
Not all of them are going to be fifth column enemy combatants, of course by the same token not all Christian Identity folks would be a problem. But the probability is higher than average so they both merit an extra look to be sure.
You are right it is a tool of limited use. I am just easily frustrated with how people and orginazations go out of there way to be polite or are over careful to be “equal.” For instance I heard a story about TSA doing a “random search” of a really old guy, could barly walk or hold his arms up for the medal dector wond. A little ridiculous if you ask me.
