We were
treated on Monday to yet another spectacle by The World’s Most Dangerous
Community Organizer as he addressed journalists at the G20 Summit at Antalya, Turkey. An explicitly
irritated president made it clear he loathed their pressing him on how he could
have underestimated ISIS.
The day before 350 people were wounded and at least 132 were slaughtered, The World’s Most Dangerous Community Organizer told George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s Good Morning America, “I don't think they're gaining strength," he said of ISIS.
"What is true, from the start our goal has been first to contain and we
have contained them. They have not gained ground in Iraq and in Syria they'll
come in, they'll leave. But you don't see this systemic march by ISIL across
the terrain."
On
attacks in the name of Islam, he astonishingly went on to say in his G20
presser, “To the degree that anyone would equate the terrible actions
that took place in Paris with the views of Islam; those kinds of stereotypes
are counterproductive. They’re wrong. They will lead, I think, to greater
recruitment into terrorist organizations over time if this becomes somehow
defined as a Muslim problem as opposed to a terrorist problem…I also think the
Muslim community has to think about how we make sure that children are not
being infected with this twisted notion that somehow they can kill innocent
people and that that is justified by religion. And to some degree, that is
something that has to come from within the Muslim community itself.”
Islamic State leader Abu
Bakr al-Baghdadi has repeatedly warned that ISIS is coming after America. In an
audio address last year, he declared: “Our last message is to the
Americans: Soon we will be in direct confrontation, and the sons of Islam have
prepared for such a day. So watch, for we are with you, watching.” And
following the Paris attacks, the Islamic State released a new video in which it warned,
“By God, as we struck France in the center of its abode in Paris, then we swear
that we will strike America at its center in Washington.”
As we cast our eyes
upon the chilling photographs of corpses littering the streets of Paris, we
must remember that for fourteen centuries these hyenas and jackals have had
their venomous dogma beaten, molested and inbred into them. France has some of the strictest gun control
laws on the globe and when these animals are offloaded on a cowed and unarmed
populace the bloodlust resembles a rabid dog unleashed against a flock of sheep.
France is in a state
of war after Friday’s massacre. Police
have raided homes of suspected Islamists across France in the aftermath of the
Paris attacks and are questioning people who are part of the “radical jihadist
movement” who advocate hate of the French Republic.
Rabid dogs are fit
only to be killed and killed to the last howling, snarling, foam-dripping pup. That
is why allowing 10,000 refugees from the wartorn Middle East would have
catastrophic consequences and is gambling with the lives of innocent Americans.
Add to that the fact that violent extremists meet in the open on
Facebook or Twitter. Then they “go dark” using technology called encryption to
encode their messages making prevention of future attacks nearly impossible. Comey has warned
that ISIS’s recruiting has significantly spiked in the past 18 months. I dare say the spike may have something to do
with a president who refuses to do anything about ISIS and whose term in office
is coming to an end.
Young people who feel disenfranchised are susceptible to their
message. Comey said, “So a message in some way starts
buzzing in their pocket: ‘Here is
meaning, here is a centering for your life, participate in this glorious
endeavor.’ Twitter works. It’s a great way to crowdsource terrorism because it
reduces barriers to access because now all of a sudden I have a terrorist on my
belt 24 hours a day, buzzing to me and I can buzz back. It connects me in a way
that was impossible two years ago with Al Qaeda.”
“Come
here and kill or if you can’t come, kill where you are.” That is the two-pronged siren song that goes
out through social media.
