How many red flags does it take to see that Islamist-related terror is increasing? In the past seven months there have been high-profile terror attacks in Paris, San Bernardino, Brussels, and in Orlando. In the U.S. the number and frequency of Islamist plots has been growing. Before Orlando, the U.S. alone has been the target of at least 85 Islamist-related terrorist plots since Sept. 11, 2001.
