    I cannot remember any coverage of this on the national news except on a few right leaning websites.
    Is this so common that it does not get widely covered or is it no longer "politically correct to do so by lefties?

    "Brothers Arrested With Guns, Bomb-Making Materials"
    MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — There are growing concerns about the arrest of two brothers with ties to the Middle East who authorities say had an arsenal with bomb-making materials, guns and ammunition in their car.
    Twenty-seven-year-old Abdullah Alrifahe and 26-year-old Majid Alrifahe were arrested on May 11 in north Minneapolis.
    Abdullah is being held in the Hennepin County Jail. His brother, Majid, has been released and is facing minor charges.

    Well of course it's being covered up. You can't tell delicate Americans that the Allahu Akbars are doing their thing again. It might cause a panic, and to cause a panic is against the interests of public safety.

    Yes, they cover up all kinds of information that the public should be aware of. If we knew what the gubmint knew, we would probably **** bricks all day every day is what they think. Nanny Gub knows best and all of that jazz...

    Covered up? In the European countries liberals want us to emulate reporting of this kind is almost illegal; it's hate speech, racist, Islamophobic and hurts people's feelings.

    Things will change when we have our own Beslan school massacre or something similar.

    No it wouldn't. There will just be more calls for gun control.

    They used explosives to do most of the damage. Tyrants always want gun control as they know they will end up on the business end if they don't.

    I searched under the two names & Minneapolis in Bing & got 2 screen loads, all about their recent arrest. That's out of 10K results - I didn't check them all, but clearly there's no particular suppression going on. They may not have been the top terrorist news in the US national news in that cycle, but they have to compete with car bombings, blue on blue, attacks in Tehran, & etc. out of the Middle East. It's a tough act to follow.

    It is on the local news and you think it's a cover up. Okie dokie. :rolleyes:

    There are many failed plots and there are occasional stories that address this. I forget who exactly but a former or current intelligence official, stated recently on CNN that if everyone knew what he knows, they would never leave their house.

    Is that enough fear for you, or should he jump up and down and scream like some right-wing media, fear-mongering whack job?

    So, start your own news network and report on it.

    Or are you only demanding that other people who aren't you do something about it?

    Put your money where your mouth is.

    ...and there we go with the personal attacks. ****, this forum sucks...

    Or in reality, admitting the existence of Islamic Terrorists inside the U.S.A. (as a result of Obama's policies) is against the policy of the leftist controlled Mainstream Media as apparently they LIKE, adore, and perhaps even worship such people on our soil. For some reason that makes them feel . . . good.

    Of course; "they" should be feeding your information. It can't possibly be your job to keep yourself informed, or to inform others if you think that doesn't take place enough.

    Keep demanding that other people do stuff, never take action yourself to improve anything.

    It's a proven fact that this forum has rules. Study up.

    Narcissistic people are the type to v
    Facts are not insults... Even if they hurt your feelings. Threatning me with running to the admins shows how weak your argument is.

    Fear has nothing to do with wanting this story to get more air time. You guys tell us we're safe, Islam is peaceful, there's nothing to worry about. If that's true then we can do away with airport security and the NSA. But the hypocrisy here is this story not getting noticed while Clock Boy's got national attention. So did a bakery. So did a pizzeria. So did Trump's 2 scoops.

    Two lone wolves, running together, probably planning workplace violence, but then, we may never know their real motive.

    The real danger is the Russians!
