News You Won't Be Seeing On Television

News You Won't Be Seeing On Television

I'm always impressed how many major news stories just don't get any coverage. For example, one of the Muslims arrested with a trunk full of explosives--near a Navy base--has pleaded guilty to terrorism-related charges. From Michelle Malkin:
Former University of South Florida student Ahmed Mohamed has agreed to plead guilty to providing material support to terrorists, according to a signed 12-page plea agreement entered onto the docket in U.S. District Court.
Mohamed, an Egyptian citizen, was arrested, along with another student, Youssef Megahed, in North Carolina in August after deputies said they found explosive materials in their trunk.
Authorities charged Mohamed with trying to help terrorists in connection with a video they said he made and posted to the Web site YouTube. On the video, authorities said, he showed how to use a remote-controlled toy to detonate a bomb.
And these recent convictions for terrorism:
A federal jury on Friday convicted three Toledo-area men of Middle Eastern descent of plotting attacks against U.S. troops overseas and other terror-related acts.
Mohammad Amawi, Marwan El-Hindi, and Wassim Mazloum, all of whom are Muslim, were convicted on all counts of conspiring to kill or injure people outside the United States and face sentences of life in prison.
As Michelle Malkin asks:
Which will get more media attention:
A) R&B singer R. Kelly’s acquittal on child pornography charges; or
B) The conviction of three Muslim jihadis in Toledo, Ohio on charges of plotting to kill U.S. soldiers in Iraq?
And this early June guilty plea from an al-Qaeda sympathizer in Columbus, Ohio.

You might almost think we have a terrorism problem here or something.
