We do seem to get more than our fair share of Jihadis here….
Oregon is home to many terror suspects

But why Oregon?

If you’re to believe the reported words of the teen fingered in Friday’s Christmas-tree lighting ceremony bomb plot, it’s because “…it’s in Oregon and Oregon … nobody ever thinks about it.”

Indeed, in a Saturday interview with KATU News, a local leader with “Muslims for Peace” says he’s concerned radical jihadists could be trying to recruit young people from Oregon.

“Thankfully the FBI stopped [Friday’s attempted attack],” said Harris Zafar with the Portland group Muslims for Peace. “But is this a growing trend now that we still don’t know about? Even in Oregon, youth … are becoming radicalized.”

That’s why we are now taking a look, back to 1984, to review Oregon’s terror-related cases that made international headlines.
