As you have been reading here at Holger Awakens, Dearborn, Michigan continues to make news and unfortunately, some of the most recent, breaking news of radical islamic terror linked to the Michigan bastion of islamic radicals is reserved to a few bloggers and a couple of local news outlets. So, I ask the question....Why is it that when a U.S. citizen is caught trying to smuggle weapons out of America to Lebanon's Hezbollah, it's a story not touched by any major news media outlet? What and who is out there protecting the radical islamists of Dearborn?
From the story at Family Security Matters:
Perhaps the timing just isn't right for the Obama administration to have a major arrest publicized after they have been rumored to be trying to reach out to more moderate factions of Hezbollah (as if there is such a thing). But the fact of the matter is that we are now seeing a disturbing development and that is the numbing of America to homegrown islamic terrorist plots. Four or five years ago, this story would have been front page headlines all over America and now, it gets reported only by BumFuckAmericaNews - we have to realize that all that has happened here in America over the past year and a half has become almost expected, almost normal.
If that doesn't scare the pants off of everyone, I don't know what will. The fact that the Israelis now must worry about Hezbollah in Lebanon receiving weapons shipments from islamic terrorists INSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES is beyond the pale.
From the story at Family Security Matters:
Convicted felon Hassan Jamile Salame of Dearborn Heights (just over five miles from the city of Dearborn), Michigan, reportedly has been charged with attempted “smuggling of guns and ammunition out of the United States” and “being a felon in possession of firearms and ammunition,” according to U.S. Attorney William Nettles (as reported in only two South Carolina publications last week).Well, perhaps this has something to do with the lack of coverage or outrage about this latest arrest of terrorists in America (from Real Clear Politics):
But the 800-pound gorilla in the room (pardon the cliche) is that Hassan Jamile Salame (clearly a Muslim name) is from Dearborn Heights- Dearborn, Michigan (a hotbed of Shia Islam with an increasing number of Hizballah sympathizers which concerns intelligence and counterterrorism experts nationwide). Hizballah (which is an Iranian-supported Shia terrorist army, which the U.S. State Dept. has officially designated a terrorist organization) is based in Lebanon (Hizballah’s primary base of operations) where Salame allegedly tried to smuggle “the guns and ammunition.”
But what’s even more disturbing is that there were only two publications nationwide that covered this story – the Charleston (S.C.) Post Courier and WIS-TV’s website (the NBC affiliate in Columbia) – and neither mentions or even attempts to make the starkly obvious Hizballah connection.
Deputy National Security Advisor John Brennan says the Obama administration wants to reach out to "moderate" members of the Hezbollah group.

Why? Co-Conspirators.
It can't be news, it is under that Islamic Terrorism thingy, which does not exist anymore, now, if it had been some right winged fanatic group it would be all over the news.
I am surprised they need any firearms from the U.S. They get real military weapons from Iran, Syria, and Russia. I would rather have a RPK, real AK, etc. than a revolver, a pistol, or a semi-auto AK. Very strange.
I guess everyone was like Bob Schieffer. Must have been on vacation and didn't pick up their copy of the NYT.
Come to think of it, that wouldn't have done it either........
