There have also been a number of arrests concerning planned terrorist attacks, but luckily they were found out at planned. That article refers, of course, to an alleged terrorist plot and not > an actual attack. All plots are alleged until someone gets hurt.

But we were talking about attacks in countries, not necessarily against the country in question. Of course, this is splitting hairs as much as saying an attack against an Israeli target in a country can't count as an attack against the country. -- > On a complete side note, i found Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar's attack in > Chapel Hill on wikipedia's list of terrorist acts. > > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammed_Reza_Taheri-azar > > He drove his SUV into a crowd.

Politics and media. America really (really, really) wants to present its Muslim population as being integrated and peaceful. The media will censor a LOT in order to skew a story (or not present it at all) in order to keep this facade up. The government will do the same as long as the person in question is working on his own rather than part of a group. There have been well over a dozen incidents that would be classified as Islamic terrorism in America but have been glossed over by the government and media to make them into 'simple crimes'. Hows that for irony, the anti-government media and the anti-media government working together to fool the average American. But this is why the terrorists are winning. Free speech? Ha! How's that for a tangent. It was a wonderful line of comics that lasted 2 months but have been partially resurrected in the latest crisis. Oh, different tangent. :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
