Five Muslim Soldiers Arrested at Fort Jackson
I am certainly not one of those paranoid nitwits that run around seeing terrorists in every Middle Eastern person that walks by, but when we see yet another instance of American soldiers committing terrorist acts on an American military base and they all happen to be Muslim, well, I think you can connect the lines.
CBN News has learned exclusively that five Muslim soldiers at Fort Jackson in South Carolina were arrested just before Christmas. It is unclear whether the men are still in custody. The five were part of the Arabic Translation program at the base.
Patrick Jones, the Deputy Public Affairs Officer for Fort Jackson, confirmed for CBN News yesterday afternoon that an investigation was ongoing .
Prior to this posting, CBN News learned that these details were also confirmed by a government official with knowlegde of the investigation.
The men are suspected of trying to poison the food supply at Fort Jackson.
What will be interesting is to wait and see if the Feds attempt to spin this one at all like they did in the wake of the Fort Hood massacre.
I also have some concern however, that a second incident like this in the military in recent months could start sparking a backlash against Islamic soldiers in our military who do not share these violent radical views and have bravely and honorably served this country. Panic stricken mob mentality can be just as frightening.
