Whoa! Now, this story is from the MSM so about every other paragraph they go out of their way to not piss off any muslims but this is striking. I'll leave out the typical MSM CYA shit and get to the parts that count. You'll find the whole story here at NY Daily News:
Now, look at some of the specifics this detective found:
This is home grown terrorism in its infant stages and as the last quote from the article hints to...all that is needed are some leadership types to step into this and we got huge problems. I wonder, will we see this on NBC or MSNBC or CNN tonight? I know, I've lost my mind.
A young undercover city detective spent four years in the shadowy world of terrorist wanna-bes - taking part in jihadist discussions and training in parks in the dead of night - to get a handle on the homegrown threat.
At great personal risk, he participated in everything from prayers at a mosque to martial arts training under cover of darkness to watching jihadist videos, with many of the activities laced with talk of killing, according to a source familiar with the undercover's investigations.
His experiences paint a vivid portrait of the potential for local terror
Now, look at some of the specifics this detective found:
He reported that after prayers at a neighborhood mosque, there were often private classes that included discussions about bombing different areas.I really enourage you to read the full story at the link but just remember as you read this that this is IN NEW YORK CITY, folks! This is not Damascus, nor Riyadh or even London...this is New York City, New York, United States of America.
He was invited to join in "bonding" activities like working out at a gym and martial arts training in parks at night, during which the group discussed ideological justifications for killing Westerners.
He also watched military movies and jihadist videos with groups of young men in private homes. During one such evening, one man got so excited he punched a wall.
Although the youths talked about ways to attack the U.S., they lacked a strong leader who could help them follow through on a plan, the detective reported.

Undercover city detective finds hints of danger among mosques
A young undercover city detective spent four years in the shadowy world of terrorist wanna-bes - taking part in jihadist discussions and training in parks in the dead of night - to get a handle on the homegrown threat.
At great personal risk, he participated in everything from prayers at a mosque to martial arts training under cover of darkness to watching jihadist videos, with many of the activities laced with talk of killing, according to a source familiar with the undercover's investigations.
His experiences paint a vivid portrait of the potential for local terror. While the picture is in no way indicative of the city's Muslim population as a whole, it provides insight into its most radical element.
The detective spent his time interacting with informal groups of youths and men who shared extremist views - and his experiences illustrate what police say is the potential for radicalization of some elements in the community.
He reported that after prayers at a neighborhood mosque, there were often private classes that included discussions about bombing different areas.
The men discussed violent jihad in bookstores, private houses and on buses en route to paintball and shooting-range events.

The detective reported that some youths became extremists after they traveled to their home countries; others went on the hajj - the pilgrimage to Mecca - and came back fired up by imams who encouraged violence as a religious obligation.
Others, after visiting relatives abroad, became enraged at their family's living conditions and blamed the U.S. for supporting nondemocratic governments.

I want to know if that is the same neighborhood that the thief that stole a van and found explosives in it came from.
