When jihad-bent American Muslims target American soldiers on American soil, why does America yawn?
The Fort Hood massacre has faded from view. The Little Rock Army recruiting station ambush barely registered on the national radar screen. And the arrest this week of a Baltimore-area bomb plotter, intent on blowing up a military center and murdering our troops in the name of Allah, was met with a collective shrug. It's pointless to rally citizens around "never forget" when their heads are in the sand.
Civil liberties absolutists are more outraged by the alleged "entrapment" of Muslim convert Muhammad Hussain than by his bloodthirsty scheme to blow up an Army recruitment office in Maryland. According to the FBI affidavit, Hussain "indicated that if the military continued to kill their Muslim brothers and sisters, they would need to expand their operation by killing U.S. Army personnel where they live. He stated that jihad is not only in Afghanistan or Pakistan, but also in the United States." Hussain explored using rifles, gas, propane tanks and vehicle bombs to maximize death. He planned to "shoot everybody in the place" and burn down the building to "instill fear" and to send a message that "(w)hoever joins the military, they will be killed."
In tape-recorded undercover conversations, Hussain praised Fort Hood gunman Nidal Hasan -- even though he "only killed 13 soldiers" (and one unborn baby). The admiring Hussain had far more ambitious designs. He planned to "blow one recruiting center up ... then we hit another ... and just keep it movin'. ... Insha' Allah. ... Insha' Allah. ... Do it for jihad."
Next, Hussain told informants, he would take on Andrews Air Force Base, blow it up and then take over the homes of military personnel. Hussain wasn't bluffing. He followed through with his plot and was arrested in an FBI sting on December 8 outside the Army center. Hussain had attempted to detonate what he thought was an explosive device parked where soldiers had gathered deliberately.
If Hussain's targets had been abortion clinics, we'd hear no end of denunciations of the hatred and intimidation. Indeed, when Little Rock jihadist Abdul Hakim Mujahid Muhammad was arrested in June 2009 for the murder of Army Pvt. William A. Long, 23, and the shooting of Pvt. Quinton Ezeagwula, 18, it took three days for the White House to issue a limp, politically correct statement expressing "sadness" over the attacks, which President Obama opaquely described as a "senseless act of violence" (instead of the intentional systematic act of Islamic terrorism that it was). In the same week, the Obama administration issued an immediate condemnation and statement of "outrage" over the shooting death of late-term abortionist George Tiller.
Some enemies get Obama a little more "wee-wee'd up," to borrow his phrase, than others.
How many more arrests of U.S. military-hating Muhammads will it take for "sadness" to evolve into genuine indignation? The latest Baltimore plot comes as the Beltway area remains under alert for an unknown shooter targeting recruitment stations and other military targets. Over the past two months, the D.C.-area Marine Corps Museum, the Pentagon, a vacant Marine Corps recruiting station in Chantilly, Va., and a Coast Guard recruiting station in Woodbridge, Va., have all taken shots from a high-powered rifle linked by ballistics tests. The feds say the arrest of the Baltimore jihadist is not related to these still-unsolved acts of terror.
Our soldiers, God bless them, carry on without protests or grievance-mongering because that's just how they roll. But it's a damned shame more Americans can't muster as much anger over troop-targeting "Allahu Akbars!" as they do over "Dancing with the Stars."
Far too many Americans are afraid to draw Muslim attention to themselves. If they are viewed as being critical of Muslims in any way they might become a target.

Many Americans still take their cues from the man-child at the head of our country. Obama doesn’t care about terrorism. He only cares about Radical Socialism. Those who are murdered in the name of jihad are people who would be against his agenda. He has no conscience and his followers are loyal only to him. Most of America doesn’t yawn. We cry.
Thank you for posting this. I am always amazed that the attack on the recruiting station in Arkansas is NEVER mentioned as a terrorist attack. I always think of it when anyone mentions homeland attacks.
Most of Americans rely on the MSM for their perspective, including their outrage. The election of a radical, unqualified president is more than sufficient proof that we’ve become the conscience of the major networks, CNN, the NYT, etc. It’s going to take more than another 9-11 or even Pearl Harbor to wake people up. Let’s just hope it’s not too late when that happens.
When jihad-bent American Muslims target American soldiers on American soil, why does America yawn?
When the citizenry witnesses pat downs of three year olds by the government, why does America yawn?
When an ignorant, egotistical, Marxist a$$ clown spends trillions of dollars that effectively bankrupts the country, why does America yawn?
When the liberal scumbag politicians spew forth their constantly disproven lies, why does America yawn?
You could literally go on for days and weeks with these questions…
Interesting how the MSM doesn’t give this much ink.
America didn’t yawn on election day.
To understand the “Religion of Peace” , do a little reading of the Shari’a law these creeps at CAIR are suing to have incorporated in our Justice System.
All of these paople should be banned or deported.
They are a Pernicious Cancer in our World.
I was back in chambers at my local courthouse and heard a lawyer whom I’ve known for years tell a judge whom I’ve also known for years, that “Sharia law could sometimes be in the best interest of the minor child.” I said, “Sure, slicing into a little girl’s genitals could be a good thing in someone’s universe.” The lawyer then started to argue that Muslim law protects women’s rights. At that point the judge and I both looked at him like he’d lost his mind and he found a reason to leave.
Exactly. The American public is more concerned with a Belmont soccer coach who took a job at a private university she knews was:
1) A Christian school
2) Had a policy of not hiring gays
who took the job, anyway, came out to her soccer players, and then raised a big stink when she got canned, knowing full-well she lied to everyone in the room when she took the job.
So the media smears Belmonst for sticking to its principles, and Belmont ultimately caves.
But a Muslim attacking a recruiting station? The media is totally cool with that. If it destroys our foundations, let’s go with it.
MICHELLE MALKIN, PRESS SECRETARY TO PRESIDENT SARAH PALIN!!
Now, wouldn’t those press conferences be fun? She would blow up the leftist press on a regular basis. Chuck Todd and the rest of the COMMIE PROPAGANDISTS would be apoplectic.
Be sure to inlude Jerry (Whorealdo) Rivers (Rivera) of Foxnews in the crowd of IT’S ENTRAPMENT kooks.
Wow! What a story.
Some are incredibly misguided or misinformed.
