When, oh, when, is Virginia going to institute transparent, honest, comprehensive programs teaching its citizens against jihad violence?
What’s that? The problem is not that this guy was from Virginia? The problem is ideas, assumptions and beliefs he learned as a Muslim? What are you, some kind of Islamophobe?
“Carnival Bomb Threat On Cruise: ‘We Are Jihad!,'” by Jim Brogan for the Post Chronicle, March 29 (thanks to Pamela):
There has been a bomb threat on board the Carnival Sensation Sunday morning, where a man claimed to be a member of “Jihad.”
According to the U.S. Coast Guard, a drunk, 31-year-old Virginia man was heard yelling “We are jihad,” and “Come to the top deck and watch the bomb,” onboard the Carnival Sensation early Sunday morning.
The man, Ibrahim Khalil Zarou, was arrested and later released on $10,000 bond after his threats were determined to be a hoax.
Zarou, who was on the cruise as member of a party of 12, caused the ship to be held four miles off the coast of Florida for several hours while the Coast Guard, FBI and local sheriff’s office officials sweeped the entire boat….
Maybe Zarou was hoping to meet his 72 Virginians.
