It’s been 48 hours since Jah’Keem Yisrael — AKA Alton Noel — perpetrated a horrific terrorist attack on 54 year old co-worker Colleen Hufford, stabbing her repeatedly and then sawing her head off with a knife, and we have yet to hear any acknowledgment from President Obama of this worrisome incident.
Why not? All the elements of an Islamic act of terror are present: the savagery,the shouting of Islamic verses during the act, the stated determination to carry out jihad, and a fanatical belief in Islam that, in his mind, justified everything.
From a political standpoint, it’s a bad idea to bring attention to the attack. But we don’t pay presidents to do what is politically expedient. We pay them to lead. And leadership — so sorely lacking in this and many other incidences — is what President Obama is unable to give.
Instead, our president could be found, for the 198th time, playing golf today.
Sometimes President Obama makes the right choice, and I think we try to note that here at White House Dossier.
Today was one of those times.
Obama analyzed the facts – 80 degrees, no humidity, and endless sunshine – and made the decision to go golfing.
He’s playing today at Fort Belvoir in Virginia with two junior White House aides and sports columnist Tony Kornheiser. It’s the 198th time he’s played as president and his 41st trip to the links this year.
Meanwhile, authorities continue to insist there is “no connection” to terrorism. It’s a useful fiction, but hardly the point.
Colin Clarke, a Rand Corp. terrorism expert, told Fox & Friends Saturday that the beheading was an act of terrorism and should be characterized as such.
“Calling it workplace violence is counterproductive,” he said.
Chad Sweet, CEO of the Chertoff Group and a former Department of Homeland Security Chief of Staff and CIA official, also appeared on Saturday’s Fox & Friends program. He said he expected the Obama administration to change its tune quickly and call it terrorism.
“You’ll see this change very shortly,” he said Saturday. “The only thing that is causing a pause I think is the fact that the triggering event was the termination of his employment.”
The police department issued a statement saying, “After conducting interviews with Nolen’s co-workers, information was obtained that he recently started trying to convert several employees to the Muslim religion. Due to the manner of death and the initial statements of co-workers and other initial information, the Moore Police Department requested the assistance of the FBI in conducting a background investigation on Nolan.”
Nolen, according to state corrections records, was convicted in January 2011 of multiple felony drug offenses, assault and battery on a police officer and escape from detention. He was released from prison in March 2013.
Incredibly, the FBI is refusing to call this terrorist act an act of terror, and they also say that there is “no indication that Nolen was copying the beheadings of journalists in Syria by the Islamic State,” and “that they are treating this as an incident of workplace violence.”
Where else would Yisrael have gotten the idea to behead people? And “workplace violence”? I suppose if a Christian beheads a Muslim, we’ll get around to calling it “terrorism.”
It’s this kind of politically correct obtuseness that will only get more Americans killed. Trying to spare the sensibilities of American Muslims by refusing to state the obvious and connect this terror attack to the thousands of others carried out by Islamic terrorists since 9/11 is dangerous myopia.
No doubt authorities worry about a violent response against Muslims for this act of terror. And this is an excuse to hide the truth from the American people? We are not to be treated as frightened children, with adults telling us soothing fairy tales to mask the horrors of the world. If we are really going to “degrade and destroy” ISIS, it’s not going to be accomplished by sticking our head in the sand and ignoring the reality of what’s happening in the world.
How many more of these lone wolf terrorist attacks will occur before our leaders begin to treat Islamic terrorism with the seriousness it deserves?
I guess the victim, a 54 year old grandmother, was the WRONG COLOR (white).
Don't allow them to set the narrative any longer. Just whenever it's brought up in any conversation including Twitter, Facebook, YouTube call it what it is. TERRORIST ISLAMIC ATTACK.
Over ride the propaganda machine and just flood them over and over. Ridicule those that call it something else. Just make fun of them and if possible pick the weakest one and isolate and try to get them fired or humiliated.
Amen to that!
He got away with claiming that the Fort Hood terrorist attack was “workplace violence” — and ignoring the recruiting office terrorist attack.
Hussein unquestionably just wants this story to go away.
Golf is too important for Sheik Obomba.
‘He could be my son’ - I’ll wait for this.
Absoultely...Keep this terrorists atrocity alive and make it so 0bama can't sweep it away.
You are right - just call it what it is. The truth will set you free.
He got all wee-wee’d up on the back nine. What more do you want?
“BO has plenty to say about a Black Street Thug who is killed by a white cop..”
He had plenty to say about a black college professor who he thought was not treated with respect by the Cambridge police. No lives lost.
This is the most divisive President ever.
.
He wants to keep the delusion of a U.S. victory over terror reinforced. Obama’s far from the only one pushing this delusion. Plenty of other leftists like Hillary are also pushing it.
The least Hussein could have said was “Allah Akbar”, and maybe some ululating.
He will be on 60 Minutes this evening. It will be interesting to see whether this evil atrocity is even mentioned — depending on when the interview actually took place.
60 Minutes could be competing with the late afternoon Fox football game (Eagles v 49ers), if that game is longer than expected, and evening football game (Saints v Cowboys) on NBC.
Incredibly, the FBI is refusing to call this terrorist act an act of terror, and they also say that there is “no indication that Nolen was copying the beheadings of journalists in Syria by the Islamic State,” and “that they are treating this as an incident of workplace violence.”
Has nothing to do with Syria, its ISLAM. He was following the dictates of his religion. The F>B>EYE needs ask itself only one question. In the past 14 years how many beheadings have occurred in the US NOT DONE by a muslim? This will explain to them that it is indeed an act of terrorism..
