Jamaican-born convert Lindsey Germaine was similarly central to the July 2005 London attacks. Even German officials have had previous experience with radical converts: in 2003, France arrested Christian Ganczarski - a German national who has boasted his ties with top al-Qaeda leaders, and was implicated in the 2002 bombing of a synagogue in Djerba, Tunisia - after Germany was forced...

If Israel did not guard its borders, it would be overrun by suicide bombers and its citizens would be murdered daily. Israel, until recently, provided Gaza with most of its water, energy and power needs. Fatah's former leader Yasser Arafat embezzled $3 billion from his poor Palestinian "brethren." Furthermore, in light of Saddam Hussein's paying $10,000 to each suicide bomber's family and of the alliance between...
