Ft. Dix murder-plotters convicted!

Five muslim men who had been planning on the mass-murder of soldiers at Fort Dix, New Jersey were convicted of conspiracy to commit such a crime, although they were cleared of attempted murder charges because they were not prepared enough to carrying out their plan.

It's insane that our justice system distinguishes between preparing to kill and attempting to kill. It's a bigger shame that a criminal gets a lighter conviction of attempted murder if their victim is lucky enough to survive.

These men had watched Jihadist videos and attempted to purchase Kalashnikov assault rifles for their attack when they were caught.

Family members cried the usual, "Oh, not our boys. They would never do such a thing!"

Their lawyers cried, "Entrapment!"

In any other time in American history, under any previous government, these men would have been hanged - and that is exactly the punishment they deserve.

Why does "justice" demand that blood be spilled and children lose their parents (or their own lives) before we take decisive action? Since when has it become unjust to protect ourselves!

Just once I would love to hear a muslim mother say, "My son is an infidel and murderer who has defied the Word of Allah. Let him face human justice here and face Allah's justice after death!" They cry about their sons being imprisoned for conspiracy to commit murder, but shed no tears for their daughters slain in "honor killings."
