Reporting from Washington - The Obama administration, grappling with a spate of recent Islamic terrorism cases on U.S. soil, has concluded that the country confronts a rising threat from homegrown extremism.

Anti-terrorism officials and experts see signs of accelerated radicalization among American Muslims, driven by a wave of English-language online propaganda and reflected in aspiring fighters' trips to hot spots such as Pakistan and Somalia.

This is a legitimate threat.

[cranked]

Been talking about this for nearly a decade plus in terrorism academic circles and the lamestream media is just getting around to realizing that we have a US domestic terrorism crisis after they spent nearly a decade plus either not acknowledging or refuting such? lulz, frakin’ idiots.

[WeatherGuy]

Has anybody told Janet Napolitano about this?

[Dallas59]

But it’s racism to call it “Islamic” terrorism./s

[goodnesswins]

seen this?

Shhhh! Don’t let this get out especially to those Commie-loving, America-Hating, extreme far left loons, at the Southern Poverty Law Center, who are laser-focused on “exposing” all us “Right-Wing-Clingers” as the threat to the US, while keeping their moonbat blinders securely in place against recognizing our real enemies, both foreign and domestic and their promoting this falsehoods to every LEA and gov’t entity which will listen, to include, Commander Zero’s clueless, lap dog, Napolitano.

Its a bit of a surprise to see this article in the LA Times. The PC editor must have been asleep today because the words “Islamic” and “terrorism in the US” are usually prohibited from being used together.

I guess this means we should now keep one eye open while kissing muslim backsides.

‘Seems right up barry’s islamist angles....

[Rosemont]

Somone tell skunk Napolitano.

[deadrock]

As long as the muzzies exhale, the EPA will wrap them up.

[waterhill]

Same here...just since a couple years before 9/11....no apologies from me.....

[petertare]

Yes the threat of domestic terrorism is rising. The election of 08 was the very loud firebell in the night!

[Neoliberalnot]

Half the population, outside the old media, figured this out even before the rising smell of stale BO. The discovery by the brain-dead media is about 5 years late.

[al baby]

I see suicide cabs soon maybe over the Christmas holiday

[hal ogen]

Is this article a way of criticizing Nobama (i.e., he is the personification of homegrown mooslim extremism)?

[ought-six]

Where is that Captain Obvious picture?

[MGMSwordsman]

The commie Muslim swine in the Whitehouse is the biggest threat.
