Holder Balks At Blaming 'Radical Islam' For Terror Attempts

Despite crediting the Pakistani Taliban with fostering the recent failed car bombing in Times Square, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. was reluctant Thursday to say radical Islam was part of the cause of that and other recent attacks.

Mr. Holder, testifying to the House Judiciary Committee, repeatedly balked at a half-dozen questions from Rep. Lamar Smith, the ranking Republican on the committee, about whether "radical Islam" was behind the attempted car bombing, last year's so-called "underpants bomber" or the killings at Fort Hood in Texas.

"There are a variety of reasons why people do these things. Some of them are potentially religious," Mr. Holder told the committee Thursday, though he would not go further than saying people who hold radical views may have "had an ability to have an impact" on Faisal Shahzad, the man the Justice Department says tried to detonate a car bomb in Times Square.

  1. Simple. The government now wants to turn the focus to the American People. We are now the suspects.

    We are now hearing A LOT about home-grown terrorist groups, lone-wolf terrorists, and domestic terror. These are all code for harassing and spying on American citizens and then, treating us as criminals because we have become informed and unhappy about the criminal nature of our own governments financial shenanigans.
