Is nothing sacred?

Kind of funny/ironic, considering that our Prime Minister fled to a doughnut  purveyor this week to avoid terrorist sympathizers at the UN.


Via  The Daily Beast:

1. Terror Suspect Was 'The Donut Guy'

It's enough to make you paranoid: The friendly vendor who hands you
coffee every morning just the way you like it and sports a "God Bless
America" sign on his cart could be apparently plotting to kill as many
of your neighbors as possible in a massive terror attack. The New York
Times offers up an early portrait of Najibullah Zazi, the 24-year-old
Afghan immigrant who prosecutors accused this week of training with Al
Qaeda in Pakistan and conspiring to launch a bombing attack in America
using beauty supplies. According to the Times, Zazi was raised in
Queens, where he was known growing up for his love of Islam and
basketball. He struggled in high school and dropped out to help his
father make money, eventually working as a vendor cart operator in Lower
Manhattan. "He was a dumb kid, believe me," one older relative told the
Times. "He was well-spoken," one customer told the Times. "He always
said good morning to everyone. He used to memorize what everyone needed
in the morning."
