The lone wolf is the new nightmare, dramatized and amplified this week by the hostage-taking attack in Sydney. But there are two kinds of lone wolves — the crazy and the evil — and the distinction is important.
The real terrorists are rational. Maj. Nidal Hasan, the Fort Hood shooter, had been functioning as an Army doctor for years. Psychotics cannot carry that off. Hasan even had a business card listing his occupation as SoA (Soldier of Allah). He then went out and, shouting “Allahu Akbar,” shot dead 13 people, 12 of them fellow soldiers. To this day, Hasan speaks coherently and proudly of the massacre. That’s terrorism.
Sydney’s Man Haron Monis, on the other hand, was a marginal, alienated Iranian immigrant with a cauldron of psychopathologies. Described by his own former lawyer as “unhinged,” Monis was increasingly paranoid. He’d been charged as accessory to the murder of his ex-wife and convicted of sending threatening letters to the families of dead Australian soldiers.
His religiosity was both fanatical and confused. A Shiite recently converted to Sunni Islam, his Internet postings showed not just the zeal of the convert but a remarkable ignorance of Islam and Islamism. He even brought the wrong Islamic banner to the attack. He had to ask the authorities to provide him with an Islamic State flag.

“....his own profession is loaded with practicing psychotics. Who else would electroshock someone?”
.
Would you rather have them water board their patients? :)
His “superiors” were afraid to take action for fear of being accused of islamophobia.
Maj Hassan was following his religion to the letter.
He was not crazy.
Killing Infidels is evil from our point of view because his Muslim actions are directed at us.
Fundamental Muslims believe they should be in a war with us because we show no signs of converting to Islam.
Killing Infidels is what Allah wants. -Tom
until you can understand that difference, you are incapable of understanding the reality of the situation
I think you mean the distinction I mentioned. Get back to me when you learn the difference between the two.
Exactly!
It’s an important distinction.
Krauthammer breaks the code... yes - both groups are evil (IMHO) but one is disguised as mentally ill. It’s evil chaotic - the other - ‘evil and sane’ (orderly) is more dangerous. Much more dangerous. That understanding shows how to allocate resources... Pretty amazing piece ....
All these guys were on the radar, Hasan, the Canadian jihadi, the Australian guy, and the cop killer. People just don’t have the guts to take them down before they kill.
A ‘lone wolf’ who’s functioning as part of a group is by definition NOT a lone wolf.
I think you’ve got it... nice analysis...
That’s exactly it. Until they act, they are just “monitored”, which protects nobody.
That's helpful, and it hits close to home.
I've met both of those guys more than once, and yes, unlike "evil and chaotic/batshitcrazy", who I last dealt with back in August, "evil and orderly" is deceptive, insidious, and patient... yes, I last crossed paths with him in 2007... I was able to complete the project at hand in spite of his last-minute power play...
Fortunately neither of these guys were muslim. One was Lutheran, you figure out which...
1. when do we execute hassan
2. hassan should have been court marshalled if it weren’t for PC influencing army rules.. and “muslim outreach” overriding common sense and fitness ratings that were unsat.. he was a jihadi psycho... gave multiple indicaitons that the army IGNORED... for obama political reasons...
the guy in australia was out on bail.... why??? more PC b.s.
” How to fight the lone wolf “ ?
“you go after the families too ......”
PRECISELY! Jack Bauer their a$$e$!
And the sad thing is that this situation will continue as long as we keep on telling ourselves that Islam is a ROP.
Now we will just have to wait till we have a muzzie crew in a nuclear sub. That is when all hell breaks loose and liberals will be beating their breast and uttering mea culpas and blaming conservatives for promoting muzzies in the US services.
GWB could do the country a favor by officially retracting that inane and baseless statement he made in 2002 at the State of the Union address. Everybody and his dog in that crowd was so joyous. Yeah, it was a real riot.
The lone wolf scam was created by the Southern Poverty Law Center during the Clinton Presidency as a way to go after political opponents.
The link is further proof it was a lie all along... probably to fool the FBI ...
