#1 I think one thing that is clear here, is that this was clearly an out and out terrorist attack, unlike the Flying Imams case. There, it could have been an attack, or a probe of security for a future attack, but the Flying Imams did nothing illegal. In the Fort Dix case, what the jihadis did was clearly illegal.
Of course, CAIR's real advice to the jihadis will be "next time be more careful so you don't get caught"

#2 [The Imams' Flying Legal Circus] could have been an attack, or a probe of security for a future attack
or even a means of trying--via lawsuit--to chill the participation of Concerned Citizens toward reported behavior that looks plain odd.

Thanks to the clerk who spotted this and said "These guys ain't right."

Thanks to the US Attorney for the District of New Jersey for his diligence.

Thanks to any of the state and local police forces who worked with the FBI.

Nice job all around.

#4 In the Fort Dix case, what the jihadis did was clearly illegal.

I'd phrase it as "not illegal". And that's just because we nobody's been obviously killed. Yet.

And even if I were a terrorist organization trying to masquerade as ~~CAIR~~ an advocacy group, sometimes you gotta pay the devil his due so you have at claim to legitimacy, however tenuous, to people on the outside to maintain deniability.

#6 It's beyond me why CAIR still even exists after the Anti-CAIR lawsuit proved them to be a terrorist organization.

#7 CAIR also requested that media outlets and public officials refrain from linking this case to the faith of Islam.

This is like the White Citizens' Council asking that Klan lynchings not be linked to White supremacy. Most White supremacists are, after all, peaceful and law abiding. We condemn those who commit such heinous acts and falsely claim to have a racial motivation. To stigmatize the White supremacist community only breeds more terrorists.
