Jihad is not just in Syria. The mindset is pervasive over nearly 25% of the entire globe’s population and over vast areas of the globe.
There is little doubt that something has changed in the last few years. Some of the mass shootings are just due to mental illness cases such as Columbine. BUT Something else has been added to the baseline.
When you take into account the Trump/skittles factor, a few percent of the Muslims let in will kill Americans.
I think the rapid increase in mass shooting incidents is tied to the rapid increase of Muslims into the US. Why is that? Because America's FIRST Muslim President, has committed to changing America. Part of the way he is going to do that is to flood people who cannot accept our legal system as Muslims abide by Sharia Law, not our silly Constitution. The Muslims are commanded to change our legal system to Sharia Law. And some of them are going to kill Americans no matter who wins the battle.
I agree with you. It’s a question of math.
Let’s say 1% of Muslims who come to the West, either to study or visit or to immigrate have mal intentions. Just 1%.
So, in a case like Europe where you let in 1 million Muslims, that would be 100,000 people with mal intent. Even though its a tiny percentage, that’s enough people to overwhelm surveillance and preventative resources.
Especially as people (unlike say a poisoned skittle) gave agency. They are kinetic. They can plot and organize, share intelligence and resources, etc. So that creates a multiplier effect.
Even 100 well trained and disciplined people with mal intent and a common goal can be an almost unsurmountable security problem for a country. Almost impossible to identify and scoop up BEFORE they act. Somee of them will be able to achieve their goal ... as we have seen.
That is why keeping them out is more important than going over to Islamic countries and bombing them or whatever. Containment should be our policy.
It’s a question of math and probabilities.
Yes it is unfair to the 99% (in my example) who do not have mal intent. But that is not our problem. Our problem are the 1% intent on doing harm. We have to remain focused on that.
Even if the percentage is less, say .5%, the security risks are huge. The more you let in, the more in absolute numbers will be here plotting and planning. We do not have the resources to detect and apprehend once a certain number is reached.
