He was going to take a few days and visit the Niagara Falls Campground in Niagara Falls, New York and spend some time sightseeing for a few days. The town has over fifty thousand residents and the city was built around factories that utilized the power of the falling water for energy. (1) It was something Doug always wanted to see and he could just get lost in the crowd as a tourist. When he reached the campsite he had forgotten as much as he could about his last targets and was focused on hiking and taking pictures before he moved on to his next targets.
The next morning after arrival he took a trail to an area where the water sprayed the trail as it came over the falls. The water was cold but exhilarating as he stood there for several minutes until he was almost soaked. As he took pictures of the beautiful falls he sat there and thought, wouldn’t it be a shame if the terrorist were able to impose their will on America and the people no longer had the ability to go anyplace in America without permission or a pass? What if they were confined to their town, state or region? What if the Muslims someday take over as the dominate power in America and they split the states into areas according to different cultures or ethnic backgrounds and imposed martial Islamic Sharia law throughout the land? What if you couldn’t go out of your home after a certain time of night or you would be shot? What if you showed some kind of resistance to their laws or unknowingly disrespected their customs or the Qur’an? What if you mistakenly took something out of one of their stores and they had your foot or hand cut off?
He believed this idea may be a little far-fetched but it could happen if the Muslim population greatly increased in America and their plan came together to make everyone Muslim. Just the idea of America not being free and being under a different kind of rule sent a shiver up Doug’s spine. For a moment he was somewhat relieved that he didn’t have great grandchildren that would have to grow up in that kind of world environment.
