A Quick Thinking Teen

As previously noted, the hero in the Fort Dix terror cell case was an employee of Circuit City. It turns out the guy is only a high school kid who had the presence of mind to call the authorities after viewing the wannabe jihadist training tape. Here's how it went:

When the teen and another employee went into a back room and began the conversion of the tape, they saw a group of bearded men wearing "fundamentalist attire" and shooting "big, f-ing guns," the teen later told co-workers.

Throughout the 90-minute-long tape, above the booming gunfire at a Pennsylvania target range, the jihadists could be heard screaming "God is great!"

The two employees "freaked out," their co-worker recalled.

At first, the teenage clerk didn't know what to do, his pal said.

"Dude, I just saw some really weird s-," he frantically told his co-worker. "I don't know what to do. Should I call someone or is that being racist?"

That last line is very instructive. There's already been an attempt in the flying Imam case in Minnesota where lawsuits have been filed against John Doe informants in what was a clear attempt to intimidate future John Does who may be inclined to report suspicious activity. There is now a bill going through Congress that would protect informants against such lawsuits.

And then there's this:

Then when news broke on Tuesday that federal authorities had arrested six foreign-born Muslims in the terror plot, the frightened teen decided to lay low - not coming to work or going to school until the situation blew over, his pals said.

He was too terrified of reprisals to be interviewed by The Post yesterday.

Now why would anyone feel terrified by followers of the religion of peace?
