President Obama spoke to the nation on September 19 to address the rash of Islamist-inspired terror attacks that occurred in New York, New Jersey and Minnesota over the weekend. Instead of reassuring the nation, the brief, lackluster address regurgitated the same tired banalities and lacked substance. Obama inexplicably failed to classify the East Coast attacks as terrorism and then noted that “[a]t this point we see no connection between [the Minnesota] incident and what happened here in New York and New Jersey.” The sanitized speech was also devoid of any reference to radical Islam even though the evidence suggests that these attacks were inspired by this pernicious ideology.
The nation witnessed similar platitudes from Obama after the Pulse nightclub massacre in Florida. While Obama classified that incident as “terror,” he failed to note its Islamist motivation and merely noted that the perpetrator was filled with “hate.” This of course left the door open for other motivations, leaving the main culprit – radical Islam – blameless.
Obama also made it a point to snipe at the press for doing its job and asked them to “refrain from getting out ahead of the investigation,” and to confine their reporting to what official experts revealed about the investigation. A similar sentiment was expressed by Secretary of State John Kerry last month in Bangladesh when he obscenely noted that the media would “do us all a service” if they didn’t cover terrorism “quite as much.” Obama is either delusional or incredibly disingenuous and his novel approach to combating terrorism – silencing the media – would be comical if it wasn't so sad.
Moreover, contrary to Obama’s assertions, the nexus between the Minnesota stabbing spree and the NY/NJ bombings is patently obvious. The Minnesota attacker was a Somali Muslim who made references to “Allah” during his stabbing spree and reportedly asked at least one victim if he was Muslim before lunging at him. Ahmad Khan Rahami, the coward who carried out the NY/NJ bombings was almost certainly motivated by the same ideology. He made multiple trips to Afghanistan and Pakistan prior to the attacks. A note scribbled in Arabic that was found next to one of the unexploded, shrapnel-packed, pressure-cooker bombs made reference to the Boston Marathon bombings. And perhaps most tellingly, a notebook found on Rahimi’s person after his capture made reference to the radical Muslim cleric Anwar Awlaki.
While the two terrorists may not have known each other, they were most certainly driven and inspired by the same malevolent ideology that despises the West and wishes to hoist the black flag of the Islamic caliphate over the White House. Obama and his possible successor, Hillary Clinton, have refused to come to terms with this fact. Instead, both stubbornly adhere to politically correct dogma and cling to the notion that these incidents magically emerge from a vacuum while dancing around the obvious. This naive and dangerous approach seriously undermines our ability to effectively combat radical Islam.
Obama and Clinton bellow about the “war of narratives,” and spew nonsensical platitudes about the “religion of peace” instead of recognizing that this is not simply a war of competing narratives but a war that pits the civilized world against those who wish to turn the clock back 1,000 years. As the NY Post’s Michael Goodwin succinctly notes, “we throw adjectives and they throw bombs.”
In the meantime, the administration is moving full speed ahead on its self-destructive plans to absorb yet more Muslim migrants from high-risk nations into the United States. Ironically, those who need and warrant our protection the most –Christians – represent barely a fraction of those recently relocated to the United States.
Hillary Clinton, perhaps in an attempt to garner Muslim votes, has promised to expand Obama’s suicidal migrant policies and place yet more American’s at risk. Clinton and Obama have tried to mollify legitimate concerns by claiming that there will be a careful vetting process. Hogwash! Those who carried out the Pulse nightclub massacre, the San Bernardino massacre, the Minnesota stabbing spree and the NY/NJ bombings as well as countless of other attacks against Americans on American soil were also “carefully vetted” and yet America still counts its dead and wounded.
Federal agencies tasked with securing America’s borders are already overburdened and undermanned. An influx of an additional 100,000 Muslim migrants, which Clinton is advocating, represents irresponsible policy and places Americans in jeopardy. Even if only 1 percent of those admitted were radicalized, it would further burden law enforcement and pose a clear and present danger.
Underscoring this fact is a disquieting report released by Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General which notes that the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services granted U.S. citizenship to at least 858 individuals who had been ordered deported or removed under another identity. They fraudulently obtained citizenship due to flaws in the system which enabled them to slip through the cracks.
The IG further found that at least three of those individuals had received credentials “to conduct security-sensitive work at commercial airports or maritime facilities and vessels.” The report further notes that 148,000 fingerprint records of illegal aliens from high-risk countries who had final deportation orders or who are criminals or fugitives have not had their fingerprints digitized and uploaded to the FBI and DHS repositories. This potentially opens the floodgate for massive immigration fraud and terrorism.
Compounding the problem is an open, porous border with Mexico where smugglers and traffickers of all shapes and sizes have free reign. Often, they operate in conjunction with Hezbollah terrorist cells that have firmly established themselves in Latin America. Overwhelmed U.S. customs and border protection officers simply do not have the resources to cope with large stretches of unprotected border areas and the administration doesn’t seem the least bit troubled.
The Obama/Clinton duo appear to be more concerned with political correctness, safe spaces and transgender bathrooms than securing America’s borders and dealing with the daunting challenges posed by radical Islam. One need only look at the disaster that has befallen Europe to understand that this if this malevolence is not seriously addressed, what occurred over the weekend in Minnesota, New York and New Jersey will seem like child’s play.
Pakistanis didn't know about any "Youtube video" or any "insults" until 0blablah and Hillbilly broadcast this...
Obama and Hillary Apologize for Free Speech on Pakistani TV (taxpayer-funded ads) Sept. 20, 2012
Which immediately resulted in this...
Pakistan: 17 killed in anti-Islam film protests Sept. 21, 2012
0bama then went to the UN and re-inflamed the Muslim world once again over the manufactured offense "Innocence of Muslims."

Those apologies validated their anger.
It occurs to me that a reason for insanities like doubling down on political correctness and pretending that men's inability to use women's restrooms is a long-standing civil rights issue that needs solving now is because the leftist belief system has no room in it, no mechanism for dealing with existential threats. A major component of their ideology is that we can achieve universal peace on earth if only people would take the time to understand each other. Islamic terror does not fit that ideology. Islamists don't care if you understand them, and they understand that you are an infidel and must die.
In short, the left is utterly incapable of solving the terrorist problem. And they resort to inanities because they truly have no idea what to do.
Progressives, like jihadis, want to see our culture destroyed. And what more effective way to do it than by letting the barbarians through gates by the millions. So it's not just that the Left doesn't know how to deal with the existential threat, they actively court the threat with the intention of getting a twofer out of it -- 1) the destruction of white "bitter-clinger" culture, and 2) converting the death cultists to their Marxist cult, figuring (naively) that giving the jihadis cradle-to-grave bennies will cure them of their barbarism.
...Because they don’t believe we are at war.
Anything to antagonize the WASPs is what it boils down to.
Nailed it. The left believes they can use Muslim fanatics as storm troopers to destroy western civilization. Once the war is won, they believe, they can, just like the Communist party in Russia did, send the storm troopers to their deaths to clean up the mess.
IOW, once Western civilization has been irrevocably destroyed by the combination of global government and Islam the new world government will move its military to destroy Islam.
Trump is a fly in the ointment and the US patriot is the swarm that cannot be controlled by the progressive globalists. We are witnessing not simply a movement but a war in which the heart of our nation is at stake.
When a well armed militia rise up against the chaos and tyranny created by an immoral government there will be revolution.
This election is the last best chance to avoid war against government that is too big, too self absorbed, and too disinterested in the interests of the citizenry it purports to serve.
The BLM movement is one more example of globalists managing angry people to oppose legitimate authority, the rule of law. Communist activists have perverted any legitimate grievance and turned the BLM into a racist attack on white America.
The extremism of the Democrat party must be vilified and rejected. It must be marginalized as the ravings of lunatics deserving of no voice, no hearing and no respect, Hillary and Obama chief among them.
You have really nailed it too. When Trump/Pence are elected, it will just be the bare beginning of the battle to regain the country and the culture.
Much as I don’t care for the president he has pointed out in such a way that even a Democrat can understand it, what does not work in fighting terrorism. He has laid the path for the public to accept draconian measures which are, unfortunately, the only ones that will work.
Islam reminds me of the Evil Alcalde in “Zorro The Gay Blade.” When the Alcalde captures Zorro because Zorro refuses to do something bad he says, “I have always counted on others being nicer than me, and I have NEVER been disappointed.” That is Islam to a T.
Most Americans must realize by this point that Obama is on the other side in this “war on terror”.
Why? Because they want to... as a punishment for decades of imagined injustices by the U.S. They are, and always will be, enemies of this country, and until people start standing up and demanding THEY be brought to justice for the death and mayhem they have and continue to facilitate, it will only get worse.
The “War on Terror” will never be won any more than the “War on Poverty” or “War on Drugs” will be.
That is the answer to the riddle. The posted article does not go that far. If it did, everything would make sense.
