“profoundly radicalized”

That’s what happens when they read the Koran and follow the example of their prophet.

Yeah, lone wolf is it’s a Muslim, but if it’s some white dude, then it’s the fault of all whites people, and somehow Christians, too.

There already was a terrorist attack in Barcelona. Since Spain didn’t lock its borders and expel those who hate Western Civilization, the danger still remains.

IN THE TRAIN STATION ATTACK IN BARCELONA, OUT FRIENDS WERE ON THE NEXT TRIAN COMING IN.

The same friend took the train from Agoura Hills to downtown LA to work A man parked his truck on the tracks and people died on the train she usually took. That day she was late and took the next train.

We will never get on a train with her or maybe we should.

Why no Mohammad-inspired terror attacks in Poland, the Czech Republic or the Baltic States?

Islamic immigration is treason.
