This list is probably incomplete, and doesn’t include terrorist plots by groups of Muslims (Fort Dix, Bronx jihad, Carolina pipe bombs, etc. – we may add those later) nor does it include so-called “honor killings” by Muslims in America, nor terrorist financing, arrests for terrorist support (night vision goggles, weapons), nor the infiltration of Islamic political organizations (CAIR, MAS, ICNA, ISNA, MSA, et al) into American political and civic organizations.

General George Casey Jr., the Army chief of staff, said on Sunday that he was concerned that speculation about the religious beliefs of Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, accused of killing 12 fellow soldiers and one civilian and wounding dozens of others in a shooting rampage at Fort Hood, could “cause a backlash against some of our Muslim soldiers.”

“I’ve asked our Army leaders to be on the lookout for that,” General Casey said in an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union. “It would be a shame — as great a tragedy as this was — it would be a shame if our diversity became a casualty as well.”
