The article excerpted here and linked to its full version below is why we must be vigilant and continue to work to educate anyone who would listen about this danger.
Even as tiny an impact as we might have, Angel, I believe it is what we are commissioned to do with a part of our spare time. We will fight fire with fire, and with the same medium - the internet.
Remember what I always say, "When I fight my enemy, I carefully select to fight him in the same way he is fighting me." This strategy has seldom failed me.
Each person who is now IN our group of readers or who will join it does so because they need to teach us and we need to teach them something of importance to the future. For reasons we cannot possibly know, each member has been hand-picked to be with us for a little time or a longer while. So we will continue to do what we've done the past near decade now and see what unfolds. -Sharon
Cliff notes version follows; full article link below:
"All three suspects are U.S. citizens from different parts of the country. One is black, one white and one formerly married to a Hispanic immigrant. Two, shockingly, are women. While each suspect has a different background, all three are Muslim converts radicalized over the Internet — a dangerous trend. . . .
" . . . American converts are al-Qaida's prime recruits right now, because they have a better chance of slipping through security checkpoints.
" . . . Homegrown terror is a signal event threatening homeland security, yet it seems to have caught Homeland Security chief Janet Napolitano napping. She still sees white militia groups and anti-government extremists as the top threat. Nothing could be more wrong.
"Muslims see what's going on in their community. So why the conspiracy of silence? Why aren't self-proclaimed "moderate" Muslim groups and mosque leaders standing up and condemning this rampant jihadism in their midst?
"After five young Virginia jihadists last year were caught training in Pakistan, Muslim leaders promised to speak out in a big way against such radicalization. It's been months. We're still waiting."

There is no chance for any true Muslim to rat on another Muslim to aid Non Believers (Crusaders). There is a specific Islamic prohibition. It has even happened with Muslims within the FBI ranks.
