American Terrorist Hoped To Bomb One of Our Largest Mosques
Hateful man. Stupid too. Army veteran.
A man allegedly armed with explosives outside of one of the country’s largest mosques in Dearborn, Michigan was arrested this past week.
Roger Stockham, due back in court on Feb. 4 for a preliminary examination, was charged with one count of making a false report or threat of terrorism and one count of possession of bombs with unlawful intent.
He is being held on a $500,000 bond, according to CAIR.
The downfall of his dangerous plan, according to the Detroit News, was bragging at a local bar that he was going to harm a mosque in the Detroit suburb. An alert bar employee followed the 63-year-old California resident outside, took down his license plate number and called police.
Religious leaders in the community lauded the police force’s quick actions in protecting the mosque.
“The increased number of bias incidents targeting American Muslim institutions must be addressed by local, state and national officials and law enforcement authorities,” Dawud Walid, the executive director of CAIR’s Michigan chapter said in a statement.
I added that as it helps to describe him.
Had this happened it would have been a major problem in many ways.
We need to know and understand what makes someone thinks this way in America.
We have some understandings and models of why it occurs in places in the Mideast and Asia, for example.
But this is mightly troubling in America from one of our own.
I chose the placement of it for the very reason you noted it.
It needs to be paid attention to.
Why did you feel the need to say he was a vet? I noticed that you did not mention that CAIR has been linked to terrorist groups. Oh dear, now I am just a hater.
