Homegrown
Five college age students from Northern Virginia were arrested last week in Pakistan, suspected of seeking training in jihad from an al-Qaeda linked terrorist group.
Do you think the threat of homegrown terrorism is on the rise in the United States?

I think these were just some stupid kids looking for thrills

and everyone thought that obamas new approach of talking with the enemy would reduce the threats

I don't think the threat is rising. Most of these nuts are stopped by the government well before we hear anything about it.

Domestic terrorism has always been here.I agree with jennifer.The government deserves credit for all of the plots that were thwarted that we never heard about

Whenever a Muslim is accused of terrorism,it is a stain on the whole community.When a Christian is accused of a crime,all Christians are never expected to share the blame.

These guys are homegrown bungleing amateurs. On their man caused disaster training applications they checked yes on the box that asked are you stupid. You want see jihad next time I eat pork chops for dinner i'll make a video of it. We will see if Timmy McVeigh 2 comes out in 2010. Did you by chance see Lie To Me yesterday. Real homegrown terrorism right out of Va no less. Yep, on the rise.

Not sure if it is on the rise.I agree with John,these guys were auditioning for a three stooges remake.There are some dangerous folk out there,but not in this case.The radicals in Pakistan even thought these kids were a joke.Five futures down the drain.Sad

I remain unsure in regards to our national security as a whole.

To quote you Tanya,at the end of the day these kids are going to have to take responsibility and hopefully will serve as a deterrent for any others that may be on a thrill seeking adventure
