David Frum brings up an unpleasent subject on NRO today.

>>>Brooklyn and the Axis of Evil

The NYPD is now alleging that al Qaeda raised many of its millions right here in the United States, and specifically in Brooklyn. The worshippers at the al Farooq mosque were not wealthy people, few of them can have afforded to give any substantial sum of money in one donation. If few can have afforded a big gift, it stands to reason that many of them were giving small gifts, which in turn raises the disquieting possibility that the number of givers was quite large.

How deep into the American Muslim community does support for al Qaeda go? There is as yet no clear answer to this question, nor does there seem to be much eagerness in either government or the media to find that answer out. But it's rather an important question, isn't it? Over the months since 9/11, many Americans have wondered when they would hear a complete and categorical rejection of all its forms by the leaders of the US Muslim community. They're still waiting.<<<< nationalreview.com
