This is nothing new, Al Qaeda and especially Zawahiri say/said the same thing for the last 20 years. And before that it was another 30 years of planes blowing up and Islamic attacks. And before that there were 1500 years of it.
Why is this considered something new?
Well, it must be new to Obama and the dhimmiecrats. And Graham. And Kasich, and Bush, and Fiorina, and O’Reilly, and Whorealdo and the entire GOPe. And the media.
