FBI knew which house to hit because it's the only one on the block that has Vinnie Paz playing 24/7.

For about an hour yesterday, all I heard were choppers.
Anyway, since we're on the topic, i'm pretty certain I knew some terrorists. I used to go to this bodega on Union St. and 34th Ave. all the time for a couple of years. Their drinks and snacks were priced lower than the neighboring delis, and nothing about the place was suspect. What I DID notice was a polaroid that was scotch-taped to the cash register; it was a picture of the bodega owner holding an AK and strapped with ammo, with some message written under the picture. The bodega owner and the other employees looked like what we perceive as the stereotypical terrorist; white turbans, beards with white hair, and robe-like clothing. I was a regular customer of theirs for at least three years, up until the summer of 2001, when I left for college.
Then, 9/11 happened.
There's a considerable Muslim community in Flushing so needless to say, there was some tension in the community. My church is located right next to a mosque, and days after the attack, the leader of the mosque visited the pastor of my church and he informed my pastor that the members of the mosque were against Al-Qaeda and were a non-extremist sect or something along the lines of that. We've always had friendly relations with them but the leader of the mosque felt compelled to come forward and solidify his stance on the matter.
Anyway, soon after the attacks, I remembered the bodega and the polaroid, and apparently I wasn't the only one. My friends who were well aware of the polaroid were also reminded of it by the terrorist attacks. I made a trip back home in the first week of October of 2001, weeks after the attacks, and visiting the bodega was something I had to do. Upon arrival, I discovered the bodega was no longer there; it was cleared out with a FOR RENT sign taped to the front door. Now I have no proof or clearcut data that would connect those bodega owners with the events and it might seem foolish to assume a connection, but it definitely had me thinking. The house that was raided is just a few blocks from the bodega too.
There are also a lot of Sikhs and people confuse them.Originally Posted by justhotkicks

Did I not say myself that there probably is no connection?
But FBI just raided a house with some suspected link to Al-Qaeda, less than a mile from where the bodega used to be. The guy had a picture of himself with anAK and strapped with ammo. You're calling that normal? Nobody would think twice about it? I know what ignorance is and isn't. Stop being so sensitive.
As for the bodega...it WAS the 99 cents store.
EDIT
Just saw the news. Authorities were suspicious about a man who traveled to NYC from Colorado. They questioned a man who let the Colorado man stay at his apt.for one night. FBI found documents containing bomb-making info that belonged to the Colorado man.
Anyway, this is just a bit alarming since it's so close to home for a lot of us here. It just reminded me of the polaroid thing.
