A) Secrecy is rather important to groups like this, so their friends
and families may not have known.  "He was such a nice kid.  Who would
of thought he would do something like this."  Isn't that the normal
quote from friends and family when someone in America is arrested?

B) There was a leak somewhere.  There is a good chance that it started
with these friends who are apparently doing nothing.

C) Should we condemn all people who are accused of a crime?

All of the quotes from people who go to the same mosque basically say,
1) We want nothing to do with militant Islam.
2) My experience with these people have only lead me to believe they
are good people.
3) They are innocent until proven guilty.
