Apparently there was a terrorist attack on American soil earlier this week. What’s more, though fortunately nobody was killed in the attack, unlike in the much-hyped Underpants Bomber or Times Square plots, the perpetrator actually managed to build a working bomb. But somehow this attack, despite its greater technical sophistication, hasn’t obtained nearly the same level of media attention. And I just can’t figure out why:

FBI officials in Jacksonville, Fla., say they have found the remnants of a pipe bomb used in a possible hate crime at a mosque during evening prayers.

Along with local police, the FBI launched an investigation after an explosion shook the Islamic Center of Northeast Florida at 9:35 p.m. Monday, when approximately 60 people were inside praying. No one was injured.

4. THIS should be on the Greatest Page unless it is already there

If not I hope that everyone realizes that we are doing the same thing by ignoring it.

5. You may be surprised about this

but the media has been mum about this. Just as they're mum that the two cop killers were members of a right wing group.

9. I was away and not listening to the news, but after looking it seemed to get...

little play on the news.

Kind of makes you wonder. Since it doesn't provide justification for the fear of islamofacism, nobody will notice.
