First Jihadi Cell of 2009 Busted In the United States – What Does It Mean?

Dr. Walid Phares

.... it should be a stark reminder that we – as a nation – are still under attack, eight years after the September 11th massacres. And if we are under attack, it only means that we are still at war, a real one, not a “man-made disaster.”....

These arrests, added to all previous arrests tell us one thing: The Jihadists are still at war with America and all other democracies. They haven’t stopped, they will continue to try, citizens or not, of all ethnic background, united under one ideology, protected by our Laws and taking full advantage of our wrong debate on national security. If we don’t see them as an “army” spreading across the country and if we do not educate our public as much as needed about them, one day and despite the bravery of our law enforcement people, one cell will not be stopped. Hopefully that day won’t come.
