Terror raid in Dearborn, Detroit

These folks are primarily African-American radicals who have converted to their own form of Islam. Not Arabs, and not really conventional Muslims.

Because only Arabs are muslim, correct? If you believe that the people in Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and a good chunk of Africa just to start would like to speak to you.

No I don't believe that. I've been to Pakistan, Malaysia, Turkey and countries in Africa populated with non-Arab Muslims. I said it because a lot of the comments on the newspapers' sites [[yeah, I know I shouldn't read them, but...), and a bit of what was starting here, were drawing conclusions about the ethnicity/origin of the people involved because of the use of the magic word "Dearborn."

I think you read me a bit wrong there, but you're right, the use of the word "Arab" was sloppy on my part. I was using it in its rather unfortunate Detroit sense, rather than its real, more limited, meaning.
