As unbelievable as it may seem, The Suburban and Wayne Times of Pennsylvania reports that "last Friday the FBI informed Radnor Township Police that a 'credible threat' of terrorist activity existed against a business formerly located at 120 E. Lancaster Ave., Wayne.
"'When we have information of a possible threat we have to treat it very seriously,' said FBI Special Agent Linda Vizi, who declined to comment on any specifics due to the ongoing investigation.
"The FBI has said this threat will continue from Dec. 15 until Jan. 1. The threat has been made against a Christian satellite television service known as SAT-7, which relocated its offices from above the State Farm Insurance Company to Easton, Md., 'several weeks ago,' according to the township.
"SAT-7 bills itself as a satellite television service for Christians in the Middle East and North Africa. They also have offices in the United Kingdom, Lebanon, Egypt, Denmark and Cyprus."
Local officials are urging residents to go about their business as usual. That's good: we cannot allow terrorists to paralyze us.
"The SAT-7 Web site, www.sat7.org, explains their mission: 'The unrestricted ability to broadcast from satellite is of particular significance to the Christian communities of the [Middle East and North Africa]. They have the responsibility of witnessing to Christ in an area where increasing numbers of people are illiterate and many have been exposed to negative propaganda about the Gospel, the Christian Church and Christ himself.'"
While I participated in the Sept. 11th events as a firefighter/paramedic in the DC metro area, I live about 65 miles away in a small Maryland town. I see the infiltration of islamists firsthand in that town, and in fact have written several letters to the local paper denouncing the views of one particularly noisy local islamist, who obfuscates alot yet still makes no bones about his wish to impose sharia everywhere.
I sometimes feel that islamists actively seek out the smaller 'burbs specifically because most residents in those areas find it too incredible to believe these menaces would live there.
I further believe that the other local muslims, most of them doctors, while publicly distancing themselves from this individual, nonetheless approve of his activities as he is always--according to friends who have participated--at the interfaith meetings and in the presence of the local "moderates."
Finally, I feel that this guy is dangerous and somewhat demented (I'll try to remember to post some of his writings when next he publishes something in the paper), and that I'm probably at the top of his enemies list. Suits me just fine. I've spent 20 years in a dangerous profession, so a smelly guy with a dirty beard isn't going to shut me up.
i'd like to know where in Pa since i live in that state the link only has the maryland address
