So some young, misdirected, religious zealots who authorities conceive were too impoverished and unsophisticated to carry out plots to blow up an FBI building and the Sears Tower in Chicago are arrested in Miami. By the way, the kids are black.
Meanwhile, older, misdirected zealots who reportedly have raised buttloads of cash, used highly sophisticated means to breed a specific kind of cow, moved tens of thousands of people from Russia to Israel, pushed tons of building materials up an Israeli hill (only to be turned away) are free to try to bring about apocalypse. By the way, the majority of these zealots are white.
