Pakistan: Five Americans Arrested In Raid

Great. They're young, all from the DC area and one left a video behind claiming Muslims needed to be defended. One was a dental student at Howard University. You can find more background on them here.

ISLAMABAD (AP) - Pakistani police on Wednesday arrested five American men believed to have gone missing from the Washington, D.C. area last month, officials from both countries said. U.S. officials say one of the missing students left what investigators call a farewell video saying Muslims must be defended.

The men were picked up in a raid on a house in Sarghoda in the eastern province of Punjab, police officer Tahir Gujjar said, adding that three of the men are of Pakistani descent, one is of Egyptian descent and the other is of Yemeni heritage.

"This is ridiculous!"
"What are we gonna do?"
"ROAD TRIP!"

Modern sensibilities recoil at the word, but using proper terminology clarifies thought. These people's loyalty to Islam trumped whatever loyalty they might have felt for the United States. Thus, they are traitors in time of war and should be treated as such.

These people are "Americans" in the same way that I am a "Pakistani." Globalisation is great.

Isn't diversity a wonderful thing? I hope there aren't too many of these diverse *ssholes living in my neighborhood.

I would like to see someone in the military, preferably a lieutenant general or perhaps the commandant of the Marines, express the hope this doesn't trigger some sort of backlash against Americans of the Muslim persuasion.

Of course, as American Muslims, the Obama administration will say they are simply "troubled" and defend them far more rigorously than Navy SEALS.

all muslims should be ask to leave the USA. these people do not assimilate into other countries culture. they have declared their intent on 9-11. enough said. there is no other reason why they are here. we have read this over and over again. the fort hood shooting is a prime example. political correctness is a cancer that is going to kill us all. i don't trust any middle eastern person that i encounter.

as much as i WANT to say throw out all the muslim garbage, we have to understand that its not ALL muslims.. mainly arabic ones, and ones who are influenced by arabs, that are the troublemakers. of course, i might say ALL muslims are to blame, since they RARELY speak out and say radical islam is evil. perhaps we need to be able to define "radical" islam. i would say "evil" islam involves muslims who either want or wouldnt fight against sharia law. if we are able to define the type of islam that we will fight against, it will be easier to catogorize our enemies. and decide what types of muslims should be allowed in america....

MUSLIM SHARIA LAW IS EVIL AND VIOLATES ALL THINGS WE HOLD DEAR IN AMERICA, I WOULD SUGGEST THOSE WHO DONT KNOW WHAT SHARIA IS, TO GO LOOK IT UP IN THE DICTIONARY. ITS ONLY AFTER WE DEFINE THE HEART OF THE PROBLEM THAT WE CAN THEN FIX THE PROBLEM
