Miami Raid

The FBI has arrested seven men in an anti-terrorist raid against a Jihadist cell that was planning to blow up the Sears Tower in Chicago.

In a sign that there is a severe disturbance in the Force, the BBC actually used the word "Muslim" in the second paragraph of the story, albeit tempered with the phrase "believed to be."

Update: CAIR seems to have noticed, too (Via The Corner):

Just heard part of the CAIR news conference on the Miami cell. An official instructed the media to "stop calling these individuals Muslims." If I were a CAIR official, I'd be more concerned with why one of the members of the cell indicated — I'm getting this from the indictment — he was building an "Islamic army."
