On the last Friday of April, after prayer services at a mosque in Orange County, two friends spoke on the phone.

It was not a light-hearted conversation.

They spoke enthusiastically about Islamic State, the brutal extremist group fighting to take control of lands in Syria, Iraq and elsewhere in the Middle East.

One proclaimed his wish to join the group and die a martyr on a battlefield. Although Yemen was attractive for its natural beauty, the men agreed they’d prefer to fight in Syria. They would drink wine together in the paradise that awaited them after they were killed, they said.

It will not be long before these creatures decide that flying to Syria is too much work and pick a target much closer to home.

Apparently, malignant nobama’s “transformation” is working well.
