'I believe that we should just wage jihad under our own orders and plan attacks and everything, Cornell allegedly wrote in an online message to the informant in August, according to the FBI. I believe we should meet up and make our own group in alliance with the Islamic State here and plan operations ourselves."
In the message, Cornell said that such attacks already got a thumbs up from radical cleric Anwar Awlaki before his martyrdom. '

And look at this "apparent extremist":

Because white folks are "apparent extremists" and brown folk are " terrorist jihadists".
Please obey the rules set for you by the media.
