Israel has been dealing with terrorist attacks since the country was founded. They identify the bombings, shootings, etc. as terrorist attacks, pride themselves on being able to clean up anything in two hours or less, and continue on their way. Somehow America has not mastered these basic skills that unfortunately are necessary in the world we currently live in.<\/p>\n
Over the weekend there was a stabbing in a mall in St. Cloud, Minnesota<\/a>, on Saturday, a bombing in Seaside, New Jersey<\/a>, on Saturday morning during a 5K Marine charity race, and two bombs in New York City<\/a> on Saturday night–one exploded and one did not. The device in New Jersey was described as three pipe bombs; the devices in New York City have been described as pressure cookers with timers.<\/p>\n Houston, we have a problem. Part of the problem is that terrorism has come to America, and part of the problem is that our political leaders are reluctant to admit that terrorism has come to America.<\/p>\n The Observer<\/a> posted an article today that makes some very good points about our current situation:<\/p>\n Unlike the powers-that-be charged with running New York City, you and I can be realistic. Intentionally placing two live bombs set to explode and intended to commit mass murder in a populated center of the most recognized city in the United States<\/a> is terror. It does not matter if the perpetrator is part of a group or a lone wolf, it doesn\u2019t matter if you are fighting for Islam<\/a> or animal rights or if you are an anarchist. The definition is plain and simple. Using violence or the threat of violence to achieve a political end is terror.<\/strong><\/p>\n The only time it is not called terror is when you want to keep the masses calm. Then you rely on antiquated definitions by the FBI and Justice Department<\/a>. But those days are long gone.<\/strong><\/p>\n …Our leaders want to package terrorists into nice neat boxes. So they conclude that if a terrorist is not a member of a terror group the violent act they perpetrate is not considered terror. The obvious example is the terror at Fort Hood, officially classified as workplace violence.<\/strong><\/p>\n Even more poignant is the Orlando terrorist. The perpetrator was actually on the phone with local media bragging\u00a0that he was part of ISIS and explaining that his actions were motivated by a need to defend Islam.\u00a0 He even repeatedly chanted the Islamic terrorist<\/a> battle cry: \u201cAllahu Akbar.\u201d \u00a0Yet, the US Attorney General still responded by saying \u201cWe may never really know the motivation behind the attack.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n If you are a regular reader of this website, you are familiar with the information in the following paragraph. If you are not a regular reader, this is something you need to be aware of:<\/p>\n In October 2011, elements of the American Muslim Brotherhood<\/a> wrote the White House demanding an embargo or discontinuation of information and materials relating to Islamic-based terrorism. The letter was addressed to John Brennan, who at the time was Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism.\u00a0 Days later John Brennan agreed to create a task force to address the problem by removing personnel and products that the Muslim Brotherhood deemed \u201cbiased, false, and highly offensive.\u201d This move in effect allowed the Muslim Brotherhood to control the information given to the people charged with stopping the terrorism initiated by groups affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood. At this point, the 9\/11 reports and other actual historic documents were altered to make them compliant with the new paradigm. (I thought only the Russians rewrote history.)<\/strong><\/p>\n If we are not careful, political correctness is going to kill us all. The weekend attacks were terrorism–whether by a lone nutcase who thought he represented Allah or a member of a group. It really doesn’t matter–people were injured as a result of the actions of these people. CAIR (which is one of the major Muslim Brotherhood front groups in America–see the list of unindicted co-conspirators from the Holy Land Foundation<\/a> Trial) works very hard to keep the Muslim community from reporting suspicious behavior and to keep our government unaware of what is being taught in some mosques. It is time to pay attention to the people among us who have refused to assimilate and who are fighting to undermine our way of life. That group of people does not include all Muslims<\/a>, but it does mainly consist of Muslims, and until peaceful Muslims rein in the radicals among them, we need to watch the entire community. Refusing to call a terrorist attack a terrorist attack does not help anyone; and in fact, it simply emboldens those planning more attacks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Israel has been dealing with terrorist attacks since the country was founded.
