Prior to 9/11 there was also a group of bumblers that were arrested on 4th Ave near Atlantic. They were plotting to blow up the ‘B’ train cuz it had the most Jews.
My understanding is the blind Sheik was there for a very short time and the current leaders have disavowed any ties to him or terrorism.
I do know there was a big gathering on the sidewalk for some religious day, and after the chanting there was a sermon about peace, love and the importance of a good education.
I would be shocked if there were not some anti-Americans in the community here and plenty more who were ambilivilant or had mixed feelings.
Either way, it’s not anything that I see as a threat to my daily life. I’d rather have an organization that the government knows about and can easily investigate rather than one hidden away.
Cobble;
What facts have I presented that are wrong (other than the one Denton corrected me on)?
Big plots benson… the Lincoln and Holland tunnels, the UN, and the GWB. Maybe a couple other minor landmarks I missed:-)
DH, is your day / week totally dragggggggging???
“the middle-eastern folks who live west of Court Street are predominantly Christain Lebanese, who keep their distance from the islamic crowd that hangs between 3rd and 4th Ave.”
keep their distance? That don’t seem like a whole lotta distance to me, lol.
Denton;
You are correct. I think it was the plot to low up the holland tunnel?
Anyway, my point remains: he was operating out of that terra-cotta building on Atlantic Ave.
“middle-eastern folks who live west of Court Street are predominantly Christain Lebanese”
An actual FACT, and I PERSONALLY KNOW several of those families who have lived in this area for GENERATIONS.
But, please continue, don’t let facts cloud your hatred, benson.
“Remember that blind sheikh with the santa hat who was convicted in the first WTC attack? He operated out of that area.”
benson, he was not convicted of anything having to do with WTCI, he was convicted for a later plot that never came to fruition.
