I have been watching, listening to, and reading all the multifarious mental junk that has been on offer on NPR and on CNN and on Fox, and at The Times and The Post and tutti quanti, and witnessing all these sudden scholars of terrorism, ranging from tough-guy ex-FBI agents to left-wing Democrats alike, offering every conceivable variety of obfuscation, misdirection, incomprehension, sheer nonsense such as placing blame for the San Bernardino jihad terror attack on the gun lobby. This is because in this case the Muslim murderers in question used guns, so lets all concentrate on the instrument used for the mass murder, and pay no attention to the ideology that prompted that particular use of that instrument.
I have heard repeatedly how what the heavy-lidded couple did was a political act and had nothing to do with religion; heard how they were radicalized here or there or possibly over there though what that word radicalized would mean, i.e., following faithfully the dictates of Islam, no one seems interested in discussing. I have heard that the FBI has finally bravely concluded that Yes, it was an act of terrorism, but beyond that apparently daring declaration, nothing is said about what that terrorism was intended to do, or about how it was prompted by what texts of what religion.

That really drives the point home. I’ll be deploying that at every opportunity.
