I received this from a cousin, former Nun, mother of nine, smart, but I fear very conservative. Is any of this true? I can't find anything here or any place else. How do I respond with calling her an idiot?
I remember you writing once about having Muslim friends and I'm wondering if they know of this danger and what they think about it.
This was reported on our local news.
(RIO GRANDE VALLEY - Hezbollah is a radical Muslim terrorist organization. They're recruiting new members in the Muslim Communities along the U.S. Mexico border.
The former director of the El Paso Intelligence Center says they're using the border as a gateway into the United States.
"They are the major leagues for terrorist organizations, they have sophistication and expertise in building bombs, but also in underground tunnels," says Phil Jordan.
Jordan tells CHANNEL 5 NEWS their first goal will be to infiltrate the Mexican and American Muslims and convert them to a radical way of thinking.
He says the U.S. Government already knows about Hezbollah's operations on the border. Other intelligence experts believe the U.S. Is too focused on slowing the drug trade to identify Hezbollah operatives.
One intelligence agent deep undercover in Mexico tells CHANNEL 5 NEWS the group has safe houses all along the border in Mexico.
He says Hezbollah is doing business with the cartels.
"More than likely the cartels get arms from Hezbollah, Hezbollah has direct access to the "Wal-Mart" of the middle east, Syria, and Iran," says Jordan.
He says Hezbollah leaders make their money off the drugs coming into the United States.)
I sure hope this Hezbollah business isn't really happening, but it sounds possible. I know there are a lot of Muslims in the Valley - I see their "prayer domes" on the new houses - scary to think they would be able to be "converted to the terrorists".
Would like your thoughts on this.
