Mass Murder and Identity Politics
National Review ^ | 12/7/2015 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 12/08/2015 7:45:16 AM PST by Servant of the Cross

Too many Muslim immigrants are angry rather than grateful toward their new country.

Why would Ms. Tashfeen Malik, who was born in Pakistan but lived most of her life in Saudi Arabia, want to come to the United States?

She obviously hated the United States and its values, at least enough to help stockpile an arsenal and to kill 14 people and wound another 21 in San Bernardino.

Or for that matter, why did her husband and co-mass-murderer Syed Rizwan Farook, if he was unhappy with his native America, not return to his parents' Pakistan, where he might, in greater peace, have practiced Sharia law, memorizing his Koranic verses without the temptations of crass and uncouth American culture?

Or why did not family members or friends notice the couple's assembling of a veritable arsenal of assault in their townhouse? And if they did notice, why did they not help to protect their adopted country?

And why did a spokesman for the Council on American–Islamic Relations (CAIR), Hussam Ayloush, as if suffering from a politically correct tic, almost immediately tie terrorism in the U.S. with American foreign policy? "Let's not forget that some of our own foreign policy, as Americans, as the West, has fueled that extremism," he said. " . . . We are partly responsible. Terrorism is a global problem, not a Muslim problem." Was that pop exegesis designed to show Americans how CAIR abhors Islamic-inspired terrorism inside the U.S.?

As part of the "Other," the San Bernardino terrorist tandem did not seem to direct their furies against the so-called dominant white culture or white privilege, given that their innocent victims were of all races and both sexes and representative of multiracial America, a country both far more diverse and far more tolerant of diversity than, say, Pakistan.

I hope Trump brings down the whole rotten system.

Islam cannot be allowed to spread inside the US by the corrupt greedbags currently in charge.

Almost all Muslims here are still Muslims. Muslims are taught to hate Christians and to those that do not become Muslims must die. What the hell is to like about Muslims?

To ignore what muslims are is to ignore the Scriptures. Our leaders are failing us big time.

"The new arrival from the Middle East need not turn on Al Jazeera to be spoon-fed grievances, when he can listen to President Obama's apology tours or Cairo speech or breakfast sermons about high-horse Christians and their millennium-old Crusades."

Excellent by VDH, as always. I don’t see any way out of this except another civil war. The left has brought us to this.

I got po’ed at my church leadership in Virginia when they decided some of the local Muslims could use the basement for Friday services. If the situation were reversed you think they’d let us conduct Mass in their basement? Hell no!

Sure they would! After they booby-trapped it, that is!
