Acts of War Are not Terrorism

Some muslims in New Jersey are accused of terrorism, because they wanted to attack Fort Dix in New Jersey. I strongly object to describing their plans as terrorism and don't think they should face any trial. These muslims are simply soldiers attacking a legitimate military target. As such, they are prisoners of war and should be treated as such.

These Islamic soldiers should not pay the price for our refusal to listen to the clear muslim declarations of war. Instead, this would be a good time for us to start listening to muslims. And in the process of listening, we may observe that we have a large number of enemy combatants on our soil. We need to encourage these combatants to find countries more suited for their lifestyle, like say, Sudan.
