Already the reports come from Muslim groups in the U.S. that they fear a “backlash” following the arrest of alleged/accused/would be al-Qaeda terror operator and potential murderer TAREQ MEHANNA.  Backlash? Are you freakin’ kidding me? Show me the backlash? What backlash? Since when has there been a backlash against American Muslims following the arrest of one of their sons who was determined to commit mass murder against their fellow American citizens, from whom they have exiled themselves deliberately (takfir wa’l hijra). WE are a good society! We don’t murder, maim, and harass ethnic groups writ large (a PLEASE, if you hit me with the slavery issue or what befell the American Indians in the 19th Century, I’ll delete your ridiculous post).  In fact, in our modern American society, we condemn violent racism and bigotry in all its forms and we PROTECT those living in fear, across the globe, including in places such as whence comes Tareq Mehanna’s family. There IS NO BACKLASH. And is that our biggest concern, REALLY??? Backlash??? How about the backlash of fear among YOUR FELLOW AMERICAN CITIZENS, that they are AFRAID TO GO TO THE MALL, the MALL!!! Mall owners are now spending $10,000′s on a public campaign to calm shoppers that they are not going to be the victims of a jihad-inspired mass murder while they do a little early Christmas shopping.  Backlash? Really?

UPI Boston 22 Oct 2009 — A 27-year-old man was charged by federal authorities in Massachusetts of plotting a series of terror attacks, including shooting people at U.S. shopping malls.

Tarek Mehanna was arrested Wednesday in a Boston suburb and faces allegations he planned to kill former White House officials, people at U.S. shopping centers and U.S. military personnel overseas.

Two other men, including one who authorities said was cooperating in the investigation, were allegedly involved with Mehanna.

U.S. investigators said the alleged plot involving shopping malls was abandoned when the suspects were unable to get assault weapons they believed they needed.

Authorities said the three men talked of “fighting jihad and their desire to die on the battlefield.”

We will be talking plenty about this program. We have it on “Need to Know!” authority that the distribution of these desperately needed school supplies for Afghan school children and orphans has developed bonds of trust between our troops and Afghan tribal elders that have led the latter to make extraordinary and heroic efforts to protect our troops. These kids are given the best shot at a future they are likely to ever have, their families get to see the goodness of America, and more of our servicemembers return home safely.

Oh, and we’re backing the Constitutional usurper. I guess constitutions aren’t such a big deal these days.

(AP) TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras – Ousted President Manuel Zelaya said negotiations over Honduras’ coup are in “suspense” after the rival factions rebuffed each other’s proposals and his foreign minister called the internationally brokered talks a failure.

Negotiators for interim President Roberto Micheletti said talks would go on even though he spurned a proposal to allow legislators to vote on whether Zelaya could return to power. Micheletti offered a counterproposal calling for the Supreme Court to decide the matter, an idea immediately rejected by Zelaya.

“I had said that Micheletti was preparing to slap the Honduran people and the international community, and now he has done that,” Zelaya told The Associated Press in a telephone interview from the Brazilian Embassy, where he took refuge after sneaking back into Honduras on Sept. 21 from his forced exile.

In a statement released later, Zelaya urged Western Hemisphere countries to step up economic sanctions “against the de facto regime.” The United States and other countries have already suspendeddevelopment aid to the impoverished Central American country.

Although Congress voted to back Zelaya’s ouster, lawmakers have since said they would support any agreement that emerged from talks.

There has been no such assurance from the Supreme Court, which ordered Zelaya’s arrest days before the June 28 coup after he pushed ahead with plans to hold a referendum on changing the constitution despite the court ruling the vote illegal. Instead of arresting him, soldiers flew Zelaya into exile at gunpoint.

Zelaya’s foreign minister, Patricia Rodas, told Latin American leaders meeting in Bolivia that the talks had collapsed because of Micheletti’s refusal to accept Zelaya’s return to power. “The intransigence of the dictatorship led to the failure,” she said.

However, Zelaya said he would give negotiators until Monday to break the impasse.

“The dialogue is in a moment of suspense … until the other side adopts a reasonable stance,” Zelaya said.

The latest round of talks began last week when top diplomats from the United States and other countries flew to Honduras and made clear that Zelaya’s reinstatement was the only way for the Central American country to regain international recognition.

The crisis has become a challenge for the administration of President Barack Obama, who has faced vocal criticism from some Republicans in Congress for supporting Zelaya, a leader distrusted by conservatives because of his friendship with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.

Zelaya was ousted after he defied Supreme Court orders to cancel a referendum asking Hondurans if they wanted an assembly to rewrite the constitution. Zelaya’s opponents argued he wanted to use that process to extend his term in office by abolishing a ban on presidential re-election, as Chavez did in Venezuela. Zelaya denies that was his plan.
