I prefer not to use the Islamist because it incorrectly implies the religion or the majority of its followers subscribe to use of these tactics. I understand my preferred use of the word Jihadist has its own issues mainly the literal use of the word does not mean what is commonly understood as terrorism. In its current popular use the term does stand for radical fundamentalist Islamic view that proscribes violent hostility against the west. Jahidist was the term used in the 9/11 commission report. I have had disagreements with the 9/11 commission report but I believe they are correct in using that word to describe a point of view that has as its bases in the religion of Islam does not describe the religion.

For NPOV reasons, I'm proposing that this article be moved to 2007 John F. Kennedy International Airport attack plot. Changed "terror plot" to "attack plot" for NPOV, but this was not the only attack plot against JFK, so added "2007" as differentiator. Objections? --ChrisRuvolo (t) 20:53, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
I think it's worth noting that there were some prominent politicians and media outlets who were critical of the 'hype' surrounding this story. Time Magazine posted an article titled "The JFK Plot: Overstating the Case?" which examines the reasons why the FBI might want to hype a case like this, even though "law enforcement officials said that J.F.K. was never in immediate danger. The plotters had yet to lay out plans. They had no financing. Nor did they have any explosives."
NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg had this to say about the story (Text from: http://wcbstv.com/topstories/local_story_155160642.html)
The NY Times National Editor Suzanne Daley was asked about the NYTimes' coverage of the story in the 'Talk to the Newsroom' section of the Times, here's what she said:
Here's the link to that NYTimes page: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/04/business/media/04asktheeditors.html?bl&ex=1181361600&en=20edfabbc569e36f&ei=5087%0A —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.167.106.33 (talk • contribs).
I have seen reports regarding this plot that the suspects have worked for Everglades Airlines (or something like that), which is a CIA front. Shouldn't these reports be included in the article? Life, Liberty, Property 17:09, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

FBI records:
state that Russell Defreitas & Abdul Kadir were sentenced to life in prison for conspiring to commit a terrorist attack.
This needs to be added as a section. Reference 6 is a BBC version of the guilty verdict. It's POV is certainly not neutral. It also does not disclose the sentence, just the verdict.
I also question the NPOV here, as there are several "alleged"-type verbiage. Once a criminal is found guilty, he is NOT an alleged.
Regarding the editor's reluctance to use Islamist because "it incorrectly implies the religion or the majority of its followers subscribe to use of these tactics." The Wiki link to the phrase, IN THIS ARTICLE is "Islamic terrorism is terrorist acts committed by groups or individuals who profess Islamic or Islamist motivations or goals. Islamic terrorists justify their violent tactics through interpreting the Quran and Hadith according to their own goals and intentions."
The above mentioned FBI archive states:
"According to the trial evidence, Defreitas and his fellow plot members attempted to enlist support from prominent international terrorist groups and leaders, including Abu Bakr, leader of the Trinidadian militant group Jamaat Al Muslimeen, and Adnan El Shukrijumah, an al Qaeda leader, as well as the Iranian revolutionary leadership."
All of the mentioned groups are Islamic terrorist groups. If one needs to believe that Defreitas & Kadir were "interpreting the Quran and Hadith according to their own goals and intentions", or, if one believes that the Quran and/or Hadith, in numerous citations, requires war with nonbelievers, the end result is the same. This was a conspiracy to commit Islamic terror, by Islamists who sought assistance from other Islamists. To not state this, is simply taqiyya - lying (usually to the Infidel) which is allowed under Sharia.
