Wolf Whistling
By Mark Steyn
Rich, re that "Man Arrested And Charged In Bomb Plot," don't worry about Señor Pimentel also being "known as Muhammad Yusuf." Mayor Bloomberg has already pronounced him a "lone wolf":
Mayor: 'Lone Wolf' Terror Suspect Arrested
Alleged 'Lone Wolf' Arrested In New York On Terror Charges
'Lone Wolf' Terror Suspect Arraigned In New York
So relax. He's just another working stiff from Local 473 of the Amalgamated Union of Lone Wolves. Any connection between Muhammad and any other Mohammeds, Mohameds, Muhammeds or Muhamads is purely coincidental. For one thing, Mr Yusuf was thinking of adopting the name "Osama Hussein," after Messrs bin Laden and Saddam, but worried that it might draw unwanted attention to himself. Which shows how little he knows about us.
So nothing to worry about. There'll be another lone wolf along any moment. All jihad is local.

~ Anthony Grant, jourrnalist who has written for many major newspapers and worked in television at Paris and Tel Aviv, interviewing former PM Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday, at the outset of Mr. Netanyahu's new book (more here).
