Terrorists Are Morons

Ok, so you want to believe that you get 72 virgins when you die in a "martyrdom" mission. That's fine. You want to believe that blowing yourself up is going to put you on the good side of God. That's ok too. But no matter what your religious beliefs are, you simply can't get around the laws of physics.

But that doesn't keep these idiots from trying. Terrorists were targeting the fuel tanks and fuel lines that run under several neighborhoods hoping that explosives will trigger a massive explosion, thus, killing hundreds or thousands of people.

It simply doesn't work that way.

Any pilot will tell you the rule of thumb for jet fuel fires: "Fuel burns, fumes explode". Yes, there would have been a massive fire had those tanks and lines been ignited. However, those tanks and lines probably have fire safety valves in them, and, they are full of fuel, not fumes. Therefore, they wouldn't have the "massive explosion" that they were seeking, just a fire that would be put out by the fire department and VERY few casualties.

Of course, the guy's family is blaming his arrest on his ties to Iran.

Asked why she thought her husband was arrested, Isha Kadir said it could be related to his connection to Iran. The family is Shiite, she said, and two of her children studied Islamic culture in Iran. But "we have no problem with the United States," she said.

Then explain to me Mrs. Kadir why your husband spoke like this?

"Anytime you hit Kennedy, it is the most hurtful thing to the United States. To hit John F. Kennedy, wow ... they love JFK -- he's like the man," former JFK airport cargo worker Russell Defreitas said in a telephone conversation monitored by the FBI.

Either your naive or your in on the plot. Either way, you can expect the FBI to be crawling up your ass and for your neighborhood to treat you like an outcast from now on.
