Al Qaeda is about to take on a new target — America’s trains — in an upcoming edition of its terror magazine Inspire. Issue No. 17 is headlined “Train Derail Operations,” and will spell out ways to create rail disasters in a transportation system that lacks the stiff security procedures of airline travel.

Its competing Sunni extremists group, the Islamic State, for more than a year has advocated using vehicles to mow down innocents. Its murderous followers have weaponized vehicles in Nice, Berlin and London, creating hundred of deaths and injuries. […]

The U.S. maintains over 100,000 miles of rail. But the trailer features scenes of just one system, the subway. It shows cars flashing through urban tunnels. It quotes from U.S. Government Accountability Office reports on the vulnerability of rail lines to sabotage. It then shows what appear to be rudimentary devices that can be clamped onto a line to cause a derailment. …

Sending them back to their nation of origin will make things worse for the neighbors of those nations.

It’s my opinion that Mahometans do not belong anywhere. Your latter choice seems like it will be the choice that they themselves will force us to do.

Don’t let FR be a think tank for terrorists.

I know right! I'm so glad we're the only website operating on the entire Internet, so terrorists can't search by other means to look up ways to kill us.

No worries. Pelosi, Clinton, Schumer, Ryan, Graham and the rest, have assured us that all refugees have been thoroughly vetted.

You forgot McCain, Graham, Paul Ryan and a lot of other pro-invasion pukes.

Well, they certainly have a prime minister in power now that is amenable to accepting them into any part of Canada.

As far as Manitoba goes, I’d suggest Churchill during the polar bear breeding season; but we don’t need them bombing the train, which is the main way in and out by land.

Israel has taken even a brown lunch bag very seriously for decades.

Due to a recent departure of many former members, I hear that the Gitmo G&CC is now accepting new members. Obama, the Klintoons, McMaster, Müeller, Brennan, Comey, McCabe and a number of others should easily meet the requirements for membership. Due to his diseased mind (at least the last few months anyway), McLame would not qualify. The Gitmo G&CC DOES have standards, you know!
