“Be nice or leave.” That is the admonition given by a friendly Chattanooga neighborhood nestled just across the Tennessee River, between the Lookout and Signal mountains. Obviously there are some who did not heed that advice.
Who would have thought that a tragedy like we have just seen could have happened in such a nice place? The answer may surprise you. We brought it upon ourselves!
The murderer in this instance was Youssef Mohammad Abdulazeez. And political correctness being what it is, CNN would not use his name for fear it might suggest that he is a Muslim. In a live TV interview, the chief FBI investigator from Knoxville said he wanted to make it perfectly clear that although the investigation is being conducted as a terrorist event, it has not been classified as such. The Administration is still calling it “workplace violence.”
But the problem goes far beyond a loose border, where some 400,000 illegal aliens enter each year. Under current U.S. immigration policy, an ISIS terrorist doesn’t need to hop a fence or swim a river to reach America. He can enter the U.S. legally as a student, as a skilled guest-worker, as a refugee, as an entrepreneur, or as a tourist; fly here in the comfort of a jumbo jet — and never leave.
The sheriff of nearby Putman County recently told me that he is currently attempting to track some 1,500 Middle Eastern students who came to the Tennessee Tech University, located there, dropped out, and simply disappeared into the local community. Our community. My community!
According to Census data, the U.S. welcomes about 100,000.
Muslim immigrants legally each year. This represents the fastest growing segment of immigrants coming to America. Youssef Mohammad Abdulazeez arrived with his parents from Kuwait at the age of 6. He was educated in American public schools, was an engineering graduate of the University of Tennessee, and by all accounts was a fully assimilated U.S. naturalized citizen.
But something happened. Last year, at the age of 23, he traveled to Jordan and Yemen for seven months. U.S. intelligence agencies aren’t sure who he visited or what he may have been taught while there. But when he returned home, he grew his beard out and started writing a Muslim blog in which he made philosophical, anti-American statements.
FBI Director James Comey’s dire warning to Congress several weeks ago now seems prophetic because it applies perfectly to
young Muslims like Abdulazeez. He said the message from ISIS to American Muslim youth is, “Come to the ISIS Caliphate state if you can, and kill somebody. But if you can’t, just kill somebody where you are.” Obviously, Youssef Mohammad Abdulazeez did just that.
Clare Lopez, vice president of research and analysis for the Center for Security Policy and a former CIA analyst says, “With the U.S. so liberally allowing more Muslims into the country – about 800 new refugees a month come from one country, Somalia, arguably the most jihadist-rich country in the world — we have no idea if there are hundreds, thousands or hundreds of thousands across America today who decide to pledge their allegiance to the Shariah doctrine of jihad.”
And where do American Muslim youth go to feed on the poison of Islamic jihadism? “Muslim mosques — like the one in neighboring Islamic cultural centers, and online indoctrination all play some role,” Lopez said. “But neither Comey, nor the FBI, nor local law enforcement currently has the legal right or investigative tools to identify and stop such individuals before they take the next step on the pathway to violent jihad.” We can’t give the impression of profiling, or being racially prejudiced, you know.
This country spends an estimated $58 Billion a year on our intelligence services. They missed 9/11. They missed Fort Hood. They missed the Boston bombing. And they missed Chattanooga!
Senator Jeff Sessions from neighboring Alabama cited a recent warning by the Citizenship and Immigration Council that, “Our government cannot effectively track these foreign visitors and immigrants … Applications for entry are rubber-stamped. We’ve become the visa clearinghouse for the world.”
Former Representative Michele Bachmann, (R-MN), has long been concerned by the rising immigration rate from hostile countries and the increasing incidents of Islamic terror. When she served in the House, she warned that, “Terrorism is real, barbaric and will continue on American soil until the U.S. determines to get serious about prevention.” She said, “Across the world, wherever Muslim immigration has been allowed to flourish, a connection to terrorism has also flourished. No one has a right to immigrate to America. It is our choice as to who we allow to gain entrance to our great land.”
And she should know. The Minneapolis/St. Paul area has the largest population of Somalian Muslims outside of Somalia. Just last Sunday, the terrorist group al-Shabab made a propaganda video warning of an attack on shopping malls around the world, including Minnesota’s famous Mall of America, our country’s largest. You will recall, Al-Shabab claimed responsibility for the terror attack on the Westgate shopping mall in Kenya two years ago, which left 67 dead.
So, should we be surprised? Nashville has one of the fastest growing foreign-born populations of any major U.S. city. According to the Federation for American Immigration Reform, “the 2000 data showed Nashville with an increase of 210.1 percent in the immigrant population since 1990, which compared with a 6.5 percent increase in the native-born population over the same period. That meant that immigration accounted directly for 45.4 percent of the overall population increase of the city.” Nearby Shelbyville, formerly the Tennessee Walking Horse capital of the world, has become a Somali center because of available employment in the Tyson Foods chicken processing plant there.
What to do? Former Minnesota Congresswoman, Michelle Bachmann said it best: “America is our country. It is time the politicians listen to us, the people who support this nation!”
You know who they are. Get busy!
I have family in Chattanooga/Hixson and they are in shock.....
Hixson was just a good ole Southern town filled with (mostly) Baptist/Evangelical churches and good hearted, trusting people.
They outreach to the community, helping the poor and helpless
They never expected something this hideous could be growing up and attending schools in their midst
A dear lady who oversees a daycare center at a local church is finds it unbelievable she had to keep her little ones in lockdown Thursday as this was happening just a few blocks away.
Truly, we don’t know where these terrorists have imbedded themselves.
And this evil central socialist government won't tell us. It's like playing Russian roulette.
Yes, and far worse.
How can people be in shock? If you have musloids in your area, expect terror...sooner or later. Franklin Graham says to quit allowing them access to our country, and he’s right.
” we don’t know where these terrorists have imbedded themselves.”?
Valerie Jarrett?
Huma Weiner?
B.H. Obammy?
I just down understand this. You take people out of their country, take them to a place where they don't have the skills or education to earn a living for themselves so you put them on welfare, plant them in a place where at times it can be 140 degrees colder than they have ever experienced, and leave them there. Where are we doing them any favors?
Tysons foods employs 700 Muslims and the recently eliminated labor day as a holiday to substitute the last day or Ramadan. I also just got news that tyson has very low standards for their chickens and people are boycotting that. Aparrently the chickens are being tortured!
That was never the purpose. This is all part of the evil scheme by the central socialist government (make that communist) to complete the ruination of America.
Calling it "workplace violence" is beyond credulity.
Workplace violence is the result of an employee committing the violent act.
Was this muslim an employee or member of any branch of the military?
NO.
Was he an employee of the Federal Government in any way?
NO.
These muslim apologists in the media have ZERO credibility. NONE.
This is pure, flat-out TERRORISM.
To label it anything else is the equivalent of one inserting their head up their ass and whislting dixie.
Tyson hires Muslims to do the chicken torturing that Americans won’t do. I had no idea Hillary was on their board but it certainly makes sense!
This occurred while Billy Goat was the governor of Arkancide.
I don’t see how this is any different that what happened at Charlie Hebdo.
I am sure that first they tried to pin this attack on the confederate flag but then had to fall back on workplace violence. I called this one right off the bat as I knew it could never be a Muslim terrorist with this administration.
Me either. That was terrorist attack too.
Where do you suppose that tasty chicken sandwich comes from?
They probably spit on the product or wipe their greasy asses on it.
I think anyone with half a brain and an IQ above 78 knew it was a muslim terrorist attack .......
