No wife, no grandmother, no grandfather, no girlfriend, no son, no daughter, no mother, no father, no brother, no sister, no aunt, no uncle, no cousin, no friend, no buddy, no Imam, ( and all the people they in turn associate with) had any idea? I can picture that some of them could keep such deep, dark secrets, but all of them? Literally hundreds of people came into daily contact with these men and all were oblivious? <BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>It seems as if each member of the family was lived in utter isolation from each other, rather than as the close knit unit as they are portrayed. No mothers wondered were their young sons went for days on end when they went for paramilitary training, or with whom they were spending that time? No father ever looked over his sons shoulder while he was on the internet? No little sister snooped and tattled? No shred of suspicion ever entered the young men’s conversation at dinner, or mosque about what they though about politics, and religion? It’s hard enough to hide a Playboy in ones bedroom, so how do dozens of radical men hide so many plots to kill so many people?<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>In all the countries where terrorism has been thwarted, only a few ever went to the authorities. By any moral standard, to know of or suspect impending destruction, and to do nothing, is to be as guilty as the perpetrators. A person isn’t innocent because of ones religion, or because someone is ‘just a mother’. One can only be innocent despite that. Guilt isn’t collective, but it is (I believe) wider spread. <BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>Mrs. Khadr has some” ’splainin’ “to do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
