The Charlie Hebdo massacre demonstrates how incredibly vulnerable our society is to Islamic terror
Doug Ross @ Journal ^ | January 8, 2015 | Michael Snyder

Posted on 01/08/2015 6:53:07 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

If just three crazed jihadists can cause this much worldwide terror, what could thousands or even millions of them do? We live at a time when our world is becoming increasingly unstable, and thanks to the Internet hundreds of millions of people can know about a major act of terrorism within minutes of it happening. And that is what Islamic terrorists want. They want to cause fear, panic and terror, but more than anything else they want attention. They want the world to know what they did and why they did it. Even as much of the world recoils in horror in response to the massacre at the offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, there are millions of radical Muslims in the Middle East that are greatly celebrating and are hailing these jihadists as heroes. This is the biggest global news story of 2015 so far, and it is going to encourage other jihadists to commit similar attacks. And without a doubt, these kinds of attacks have already been increasing. It is being reported that worldwide suicide attacks by Muslims nearly doubled from 2013 to 2014. Sadly, what we have seen up to this point is probably just the tip of the iceberg.

We live in a society that is absolutely teeming with soft targets. The United States is literally a “target-rich environment” with thousands of schools, shopping malls, movie theaters, sports stadiums and government buildings to choose from. The possibilities for Islamic terrorists are endless.

And eventually these radical jihadists are going to figure out that they can cause far more terror with bombs, chemical weapons, viruses and dirty bombs than they ever could possibly hope to with just guns.

It really is a miracle that we have not seen more Islamic terror on U.S. soil up to this point. But as organizations such as ISIS continue to grow and become more sophisticated, it is only a matter of time before we see lots more attacks like the one that just happened in Paris.

As I write this, two suspects from that attack are still on the loose. According to Fox News, French authorities believe that they are hiding in a densely forested area…

French police are swarming a 51-square-mile dense forest in their hunt for the Islamist terrorist brothers suspected of carrying out Wednesday’s deadly shooting massacre at the Paris office of a satirical magazine.

Authorities say the two brothers, identified as Said and Cherif Kouachi, may be hiding out in the Forêt de Retz, a vast woodland described as “larger than Paris,” Sky News reported.

But whether they live or die, they have already achieved more than they probably ever dreamed that they would be able to.

Meanwhile, the threat of Islamic terror in the United States and all over Europe continues to grow. A big reason for this is the fact that we are importing Muslims from the Middle East at an accelerating pace.

Right now, approximately 16 percent of the population of the United States was born outside of the country. And according to Newsmax, about 2.4 million of them are Muslim…

The total number of immigrants from primarily Muslim countries in the U.S. was more than 2.4 million last year, compared with 2.1 million in 2010 and 1.5 million in 2000.

Of course the vast majority of them do not ever intend to commit acts of terror.

But without a doubt we have been bringing people into this country that do believe in jihad. For example, a Somali refugee named Abdirahmaan Muhumed that was killed in action fighting for ISIS last year legally immigrated to the United States and once cleaned planes at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.

And during the Obama administration, the flow of immigrants from Muslim nations has greatly increased. The following is a brief excerpt from one of my previous articles…

*****

According to a survey conducted by Pew Research, “the estimated share of legal Muslim immigrants entering the U.S. each year has roughly doubled, from about 5 percent of legal immigrants in 1992 to about 10 percent in 2012.” And this rise in Islamic immigration has been accelerated by a series of moves by Barack Obama.

For example, earlier this year the Wall Street Journal reported on a decision by the Obama administration to bring thousands of additional Syrian refugees into the country by the end of this year…

U.S. plans to resettle thousands of Syrians displaced by their country’s civil war could hinge on those refugees receiving exemptions from laws aimed at preventing terrorists from entering the country.

A U.S. official stated publicly for the first time this week that some of the 30,000 especially vulnerable Syrians the United Nations hopes to resettle by the end of 2014 will be referred to the U.S. for resettlement.

Will “refugees” with ties to ISIS or other jihadist organizations be weeded out?

*****

But it is not very “politically correct” to tie Islam with terrorism these days, is it?

We are just supposed to use some nebulous term like “extremists”, right?

Sadly, the truth is that what happened at the offices of Charlie Hebdo did not come out of a vacuum. In Islamic nations, people do not get to have free speech. If you criticize Islam or Muhammed you can pay a great price for that.

For example, a blogger in Saudi Arabia that criticized Islam online is going to receive 1,000 lashes as a punishment…

A Saudi blogger who was sentenced last May to 10 years in prison and 1,000 lashes will be publicly flogged for the first time after Friday prayers outside a mosque in the Red Sea coastal city of Jiddah, a person close to his case said Thursday.

Raif Baddawi was sentenced on charges related to accusations that he insulted Islam on a liberal online forum he had created.

So what makes that so different from what just happened at the offices of Charlie Hebdo?

Does the fact that Saudi Arabia is supposed to be our “friend” make this kind of behavior okay?

And according to WND, the top religious authority in Saudi Arabia recently came out and declared that it is okay for grown men to “marry” extremely young little girls…

Saudi Arabia’s Grand Mufti, Sheikh Abdulaziz Al al-Sheikh, the kingdom’s top religious authority in the ultra-conservative Wahhabi school of Sunni Islam, has ruled it’s acceptable for men to marry girls so young the West would deem it nothing short of pedophilia and rape.

Despite the Saudi justice ministry’s failed efforts to date to set 15 as a minimum age to marry a girl in the kingdom, Grand Mufti Abdulaziz declared there is nothing prohibiting Muslim men from marrying girls even younger.

So how young is too young?

Another very prominent Islamic cleric in Saudi Arabia issued a fatwa in 2011 which stated that grown men could marry little girls “even if they are in the cradle”…

Grand Mufti Abdulzaiz’s more recent ruling on marrying young girls comes following a similar ruling in 2011 by Dr. Salih bin Fawzan, a prominent cleric and member of the Saudi’s highest religious council, who issued a fatwa, or religious edict, that there is no minimum age to marry girls, “even if they are in the cradle.”

But you never hear the Obama administration criticizing Saudi Arabia even though that nation is at the very heart of the jihadist philosophy that motivates terrorists such as the ones that just attacked the offices of Charlie Hebdo.

The ultimate goal of these radical Muslims, whether they belong to “al-Qaeda”, or ISIS or the Saudi government, is to bring the entire globe into subjection to Islam.

If that were to happen, there would be no more freedom of speech, no more freedom of religion and everyone on the planet would be forced to live their entire lives in strict observance to sharia law.

Is that what you want for your children and your grandchildren?

The entire world should not only be loudly condemning the jihadists that attacked Charlie Hebdo, but also the philosophy that motivated them to do so.

Unfortunately, most of the western world continues to cling to deluded notions of political correctness regarding radical Islam, and in the years ahead we could all end up paying a great price for that.

I still cannot believe that they have not started fires everywhere. They wouldn’t even have to risk their lives to do that.

Remember about a year ago they were practicing sabotaging a power plant by shooting key components with rifle fire?

Until the Muslim world calms down (which may be measured in decades or even centuries, not years): no asylum grants to Muslims, VERY limited visa grants to Muslims for specific business related purposes, no more student or tourist visas for Muslims, a concerted effort to find and deport those Muslims who have over stayed their visas, no migration, including chain migration, for Muslims, and real border security along both the northern and southern borders and in the ports.

I was just thinking that if I wanted to murder any particular group of innocents and didn’t mind risking or losing my life, it would not be hard at all.

Add to that, a population of unarmed sheep and it becomes ridiculously easy. Add mostly disarmed police and it just about could not get any easier.

It is sort of like a bunch of sheep without even a shepherd watching over them. A wolf would just go wild.

It has already happened many times and will keep on happening.

Having the population armed would help but even that would not prevent such a wolf from killing some. The only real way to prevent it is to kill the wolves before they get a chance.

The problem of runaway extremism is why there were such brutal dictators running some countries. You had to be very tough, very hard, very unkind to the population to keep the crazies under surveillance and under control. The crazies had to understand that the regime would make you watch your family be tossed into a plastic grinder before they poured ho tlead in your ear then decapitated you. Rough as it sounds it worked for decades as a control method.

We have systematically removed these men who kept the extreme Muslims down or dead and now we have the extremists popping up globally. Could that have been the goal in taking out Kadaffi, Hussein, Mubarak and others, to deliberately unleash jihadists onto us?

Of course not. The vast majority of them give aid and comfort to the mohamicidals that walk amongst them.

They are the benign cancer cells succoring the malignant ones!

It’s not “radical” Islam.

KORAN
[33.57] Surely (as for) those who speak evil things of Allah and His Apostle, Allah has cursed them in this world and the here after, and He has prepared for them a chastisement bringing disgrace....
[33.61] Cursed: wherever they are found they shall be seized and murdered, a (horrible) murdering.

http://quod.lib.umich.edu/cgi/k/koran/koran-idx?type=DIV0&byte=650389

Full context:
[33.57] Surely (as for) those who speak evil things of Allah and His Apostle, Allah has cursed them in this world and the here after, and He has prepared for them a chastisement bringing disgrace.
[33.58] And those who speak evil things of the believing men and the believing women without their having earned (it), they are guilty indeed of a false accusation and a manifest sin.
[33.59] O Prophet! say to your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers that they let down upon them their over-garments; this will be more proper, that they may be known, and thus they will not be given trouble; and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
[33.60] If the hypocrites and those in whose hearts is a disease and the agitators in the city do not desist, We shall most certainly set you over them, then they shall not be your neighbors in it but for a little while;
[33.61] Cursed: wherever they are found they shall be seized and murdered, a (horrible) murdering.
[33.62] (Such has been) the course of Allah with respect to those who have gone before; and you shall not find any change in the course of Allah.

>> Until the Muslim world calms down

The muslim world will not “calm down” until JESUS comes again and vanquishes them.

Seriously. They are following the game plan that satan wrote down for them. The book (koran + hadith of mohammed, piss be upon him) REQUIRES that they do exactly as they’re doing.

Put another way, if muslims stop doing the evil they do, they cease to be muslims.

I had FNC on today in the background, and heard it speculated these jihadis did not expect to get away from the scene and were prepped to die in place. With that mindset, it offers very few options in dealing with these freaks. What would those options be? I'll start speculating:

1. Surrender to them. They wish.

2. Deport every Muslim from the CONUS. Yeah, right.

3. DNA database and ID every Muslim in the CONUS. Then, if one goes jihad-jiggy, his entire family goes away. This would have the effect of forcing the families to police themselves in order to stay alive. I postulated this theory years back as a beginning solution to the 'Exploding Palestinian' problem in Jerusalem.

4. Any other thoughts/ideas? I don't see many other options here...

You would have to imagine that if the violence escalated to something like one major incident per week instead of the current pace of one every month or two, then social order would break down to the point where a global civil war would begin. If the pace grew to a constant dull roar of atrocities that civil war would be underway whether we were fighting back or not — if not then we would be losing it.

One can argue that we are at that point already but all such matters have historical guidelines and I would say we are at the pre-conflict stage, if perhaps barely at this point. By that I mean that it will not take much more of an increase in radical Islamic violence to prompt a massive counter-reaction which will then inflame many more Muslims and lead to an uncontrollable spiral of large-scale violence, which is after all what the radicals want. Where they are probably wrong is that they cannot possibly win, the more engaged total societies become in this paradigm, the worse the prospects for Islam. Look at the total global situation, if all of Islam rose against non-Islam, who would win, even if we had the disadvantage of being unprepared and less brutal? We would win. They have no chance. The jihadist option is basically slow-motion suicide and the only thing that will save Islam from destruction is if they continue to go so slow that it remains more of a law enforcement than a military issue.

Yes, having a large part of the population armed will help. Even if they can’t completely stop the murderers, they can stop them from killing any more by killing the killers.

If even 30% of the populace were armed the Muslims and other ethnic troublemakers would pack their bags.

The fatal conceit of liberals is that you can take people from third world countries, place them in first world countries, and they will automatically adapt to the spirit of their new country. That is because they think all humans are interchangeable with no group being smarter than any other.

Obviously, that's wrong. But being liberals, they just about never learn their lesson despite repeatedly hitting themselves in their heads with the multiculturalist hammer. And they bring everybody else down with them.
