CNN Expert: Terror Threat ‘Modest . . . I Don’t Worry About Terrorism’

Don’t look for Phil Mudd to be joining the Trump anti-terrorism team anytime soon . . . Mudd, a CNN counterterrorism analyst, declared today that the threat of terrorism is “modest.” When it comes to young people, Mudd said that he worries about gangs and drugs: “I don’t worry about terrorism.”

Mudd also argued that tight restrictions on Muslim immigration would be giving ISIS want it wants by setting ISIS up as the counterbalance to the West and the defender of Islam. Mudd apparently believes that allowing a freer flow of Muslim refugees into the United States, as Hillary wanted, would appease ISIS rather than giving it the opening to carry out more attacks. ISIS is not interested in good relations. It wants only to destroy the West and establish its caliphate. People like Mudd, whom CNN chooses as its “expert,” apparently don’t understand that.

I picture Mr Mudd walking out of the CNN studio and being mowed down by a guy named mohammud driving a pick up truck.

CNN is correct. More black thugs get murdered in Chicago on a given month than terrorists kill in a year

Is it my imagination, or does a terror attack—heaven forbid—follow close on the heels of these periodic Leftist proclamations that we have nothing to worry about?

Bol!

Agreed

Interesting perspective. Over 30,000 Americans are killed in car crashes each year, so perhaps we should ignore terrorism until they can top that total? No, thank you. We should pay attention to all real risks and balance our response to those risks against the costs of any response.

In the case of terrorists and terrorism, a relatively cheap response is to stop importing them and paying them welfare while they sit around plotting mass murder. Given the simplicity of that solution, we should worry about terrorism enough to solve it as a domestic problem (throw in border security to stop terrorists from coming in illegally).
