Accused NYC attacker is 4th terror suspect with Uzbekistan links in 2017

The president of Uzbekistan on Wednesday offered his country's assistance in investigating the deadly terror attack in the lower Manhattan area of New York City. The suspect in the attack was identified as an Uzbek national, Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov.

Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev expressed his condolences to the families of the victims, but the country has been linked to at least three other terrorist incidents over the last year.

In April, Uzbek national Rakhmat Akilov drove a truck into pedestrians in Stockholm, Sweden, killing five people.

Earlier that same month, Akbarzhon Jalilov, a Russian citizen who was born in Kyrgyzstan but of Uzbek heritage, blew himself up on a train in St. Petersburg, Russia, killing 15 people along with himself.

And, in the early hours of New Year's Day, another Uzbek national, Abdulkadir Masharipov, attacked a party at a nightclub in Istanbul, Turkey, killing 39 revelers.

The Muslim-majority nation of Uzbekistan, which gained independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, is located north of Afghanistan and governed by an authoritarian regime. The harsh conditions there have meant a number of nationals leave, looking for opportunities abroad.

Propaganda videos released by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in both Syria and Iraq regularly show jihadists from Uzbekistan or of Uzbek descent.

The Quran is analogous to a gene that causes cancer. Muslims are people who carry the cancer gene into your body politic. That gene may lie dormant for the life of that individual cell and die with him. But, occasionally, like people who smoke trigger their cancer gene, people who carry the Quran gene may suddenly express it. Bringing Muslims into your society is just like injecting potentially cancerous cells into your body. You may get lucky and none of them will go cancerous. Or, you may not. Frankly, I see no reason and no need to allow them into our society. Just like I see no need to inject potentially cancerous cells into my body.

We’re supposed to cry veils of tears about this? Let them go to another enlightened Muslim country like Turkey. Oh yeah one of them had his turn over there as well.

“Diversity visa”...What the hell does that even mean? Is New York city not diverse enough for Schmucky Schumer? Does he honestly think all cultures are the same? Maybe he wants those psychopaths from Malawi who burned people alive thinking they were vampires coming to live next to him. He looks like a vampire.

The terrorists are in Congress and the Administration. They are the ones who have actively enabled attacks on Americans. For the most part, Americans are fine with this.

The politicians happily injecting these cancer cells into our body politic for political gain are just as guilty as the cancer cells themselves. They are as big a part of the problem as the Muslims.

They need to be sent to jail. The Muslims who entered under this phony program should either be summarily deported now or sent to GITMO. No waiting around sheepishly until there are more mass murders. There is zero good reason they should be in this country in the first place.

“...or sent to GITMO.”

If I understand the GITMO situation, GITMO exists because if they are brought to the United States, then the government must charge them within a certain time frame with criminal charges and hand them over to a civilian court. Since their rights as civilians in criminal court have not been rigorously adhered to, no Miranda warnings, for example, and they may have, for civilians, been illegally questioned without lawyers, bringing them here would be problematic. Someone must have explained this to Obama, which is, doubtless, why he didn’t close GITMO. I am sure that someone is busy briefing President Trump on the legal realities and he won’t Tweet any more about GITMO.

I suspect you are right.

Leave it to the Muslim Kenyan and the Muslim-loving Liberals (but, I repeat myself) to have it all figured out how they can screw the American people before hand.

It’s an odd coincidence how so many lone-wolf terrorists come from countries with names ending in -stan.
