Appeasing Islamic Jihadist Terrorism Is Civilizational Suicide -- Drive Them Out of the Middle East, Europe, America, and the World

THE REAL NEWS OF THE DAY -- ISLAMIC JIHADIST TERRORISM IS CHOKING THE WEST. • • • MANCHESTER. Three suspects were arrested in Manchester in connection with Monday's deadly concert bombing, as Fox News reported "the British authorities raced to prevent another attack that could be imminent." Multiple law enforcement agencies swept through Manchester in a bid to head off a follow-up to the suicide bombing at an Ariana Grande concert that left 22 dead and 59 injured. ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack, and the suicide bomber, Salman Abedi, 22, is unlikely to have acted alone, officials said, as they searched for the cell behind Abedi. Salman Abedi had been known to security forces "up to a point," Home Secretary Amber Rudd said. • "Up to a point"!!! As a British friend often tells me, if you want to know what the BBC will tell you in ten days, read the Daily Mail today. Here's what the Daily Mail wrote on Wednesday about Salman Abedi. He was a British-born jihadi from a family of Libyan refugees. He was known to the security services before he walked into Manchester Arena on Monday night and detonated a bomb packed with nails, nuts and bolts, killing 22 people including children as young as eight. He was friends with an 'ISIS recruiter' in Manchester named Raphael Hostey, also known as Abu Qaqa al-Britani, who served as an ISIS recruiter until he was killed in 2016 in Syria by a drone strike. Abedi may have spent time in a Middle East conflict zone, where he may have received terrorist training, while he had only recently returned from a three-week trip to Libya days before the bombing. Abedi was described as growing up in his Fallowfield neighborhood with a 'face of hate,' but others said he was football mad and a passionate Manchester United fan. It has also been claimed that he had travelled by train from London to Manchester on Monday in advance of the attacks, now raising suspicions that he may have met co-conspirators or been supplied with his explosive device by an as-yet-unidentified bombmaker. It was claimed that his father -- an airport security officer -- had left the UK to fight in Libya. Sources also said his mother had raised concerns about her son’s radical views before she herself left for Libya. His brother Ismail, 23, is under arrest and being questioned about his possible involvement in the bombing. • The Daily Mail then puts some detail around these facts : "Although Abedi was known to the security services, he was not under surveillance and officers had no inkling he was building a bomb. Last night, a chilling picture emerged of the terrorist who grew up in an anonymous suburb of Manchester. Born in Manchester in 1994, the third of four children, his parents were Libyan refugees who came to the UK to escape the Qaddafi regime and his father is a suspected [jihadist] fighter who left the UK in 2011 to try to overthrow Qaddafi. Ramadan Abedi, an airport security officer who is thought to have worked at Manchester Airport, emigrated to London with his wife Samia Tabbal, 50, before moving to the Fallowfield area of south Manchester where they settled in a housing association-owned home about two miles from the scene of Monday night’s terror attack....Friends and neighbours said Abedi appeared to be a normal football-mad teenager who...spent hours playing computer games on the PS4. But everything changed in 2011 when his father abruptly left his job and home in the anonymous suburb to fight in Libya, leaving his family to fend for themselves, according to a local imam. Abedi and his brothers appear to have followed in his footsteps by sharing stories of British jihadis fighting in Syria on social networks and even praying in the street....It is believed that Ismail, who worked as a teaching assistant giving Arabic classes and IT support at Didsbury mosque Quran school, was once reported to a counter- terrorism unit after concerns were raised by members of the Moslem community....Last night a source suggested anti-terror officers also tried to engage with Abedi, but he refused to co-operate. ‘Salman Abedi is a troublemaker, that is the understanding we have from the community,’ he said. ‘He is a loose cannon, someone who is troubled.’ The imam of Didsbury Mosque, Mohammed Saeed, revealed Salman stopped going to the mosque in 2015 as he objected to anti-IS comments. He said: ‘Salman used to come to the mosque occasionally, he wasn’t particularly friendly towards me because he didn’t like my anti-IS sermons. He didn’t like what I was saying and showed me the face of hate. He came to the mosque less and less after that.’ " • • • THE WEST HAS BEEN DUPED. American Thinker writer George Ford said on Wednesday : "This guy checks every single jihadist box. When people like this are allowed to walk the streets -- there’s a report that there are 3,500 Abedis roaming free in the UK -- the public can be excused for assuming that a suicide bombing at a pop concert is the 'new normal.' " Ford goes on to say : "It would be abnormal for the US to implement a commonsense immigration policy, or to deport Islamist preachers promoting Sharia. But it is normal, as per Tucker Carlson’s report this evening, for the US immigration authorities to find homes for M18 gang members in communities around the country....It is not productive to fantasize about our governments in the West finally waking up to the threat. 'Tipping point' analyses are pointless....Major Hasan presented his views in a Power Point presentation to other officers, on an American military base, eight years after 9-11, and eight years ago. Has the US military changed its personnel policies since Hasan killed 13 fellow soldiers? Or would today’s military turn a blind eye to a 'we love death more than you love life!' presentation? Asking the question is painful, because the answer is far from certain. Those in charge haven’t convinced me that the term 'counterterrorism' has a fixed, settled and dependable meaning. It mostly refers to plans, organizations, and people. It doesn’t refer to a consequence or an end-point the way that 'J. Edgar Hoover and His G-Men' meant that die-hard, ruthless criminals were marked for death. Americans are taught that Hoover was the enemy, and Bonnie and Clyde were cool. The jihad will be with us for our lifetimes. Admitting it is to accept the truth." • • • THE UK TRIES TO STEP UP TO THE JIHADIST THREAT. British Prime Minister Theresa May Wednesday chaired a meeting of her emergency security cabinet group, known as COBRA, to review intelligence reports about Abedi and concerns that he might have had outside support. The UK raised its threat level to the highest level -- "critical" -- which May said "means that the assessment is that, not only is a further attack likely, but that it could be imminent." Police raided Abedi's house, using a controlled explosion to blast down the door. Police also raided and searched a property elsewhere in Manchester where Abedi's brother Ismail is thought to have lived. A 23-year-old man has also been arrested as part of the investigation but officials have released no details about him. In a very unusual step for the UK, British soldiers have been deployed in place of police officers to guard high-profile sites such as Buckingham Palace and Parliament. London Police Commander Jane Connors said the goal is to "make our city as hostile an environment as possible for terrorists to plan and operate." She said police will also be ready to respond quickly to any incidents with armed officers, and have added more armed police walking patrols. • • • FRANCE HAS FACED JIHADISTS FOR A LONG TIME. France's Interior Minister Gerard Collomb said Abedi is believed to have traveled to Syria and had "proven" links with ISIS. Collomb did not provide details, and said it's unclear whether Abedi was part of a larger network of attackers. But, whime the French are giving details, British officials have only late on Tuesday begun commenting on whether Abedi had links to ISIS or other extremist groups, and for a time in the first 24 hours after the bombing, they allegedly asked media to report no details about Abedi. Collomb, who spoke with May after the attack, said the two countries should continue cooperating closely on counterterrorism efforts despite Britain's pending exit from the European Union. • And, that is perhaps the critical point -- European countries do work together against islamic jihadist terrorism, but they have no centralized agency that can take in information, review it and then disseminate it for practical use by EU state intelligence and law enforcement agencies. But, even with a recognition of the coordination flaw in Europe, what is the response to George Ford's questions : Could a TV scriptwriter make up a more obvious jihadist than the Manchester bomber, Salman Abedi? Is any UK jihadist ever deported, for anything? Abedi was the son of refugees from Libya -- Who fled Libya? Jihadists. Why? Qaddafi cracked down on jihadists. Why would the UK take people fleeing from Qaddafi when so many would be jihadists or sympathizers? Is the answer really what Ford suggests : "It is not productive to fantasize about our governments in the West finally waking up to the threat....When you have government agencies seeped for decades in multicultural religion and diversity dogma, it will take decades, if ever, to reach a stage when bad people are tossed out." • • • DRIVING OUT JIHADISTS. American Thinker published on Wednesday an article by Karin McQuillan titled "Drive them out: Time to deport known American jihadis." McQuillan says that the children of Manchester were killed by a jihadist known to authorities. So were the victims of 12 of the 14 Islamic terrorist attacks in America under Obama. She says : "That must end. Our terror watch list must become a terror deportation list. President Trump went to the very heart of Islam, Saudi Arabia, and told the assembled leaders of the Moslem world they must drive the Jihadists out of their mosques, out of their communities, out of their country and out of this earth. The Saudis are responsible for their country. We are responsible for America. Let us start right here and right now. We need to drive all those who preach Jihad out of our American mosques, community, and country." • Preachers in America are not allowed to encourage murder or the overthrow of the US government. It is illegal to preach Jihad in American mosques. Yet, says McQuillan, " time after time, whenever we have an Islamic atrocity in our country, we discover the killer attended a radical mosque. One estimate is that half of the mosques in our country were founded by radical Moslem Brotherhood members." • In 2012, French President Nicolas Sarkozy banned radical imams from entering France. In 2016, France closed down a handful of radical mosques where they found terrorist weapons caches. In France, within hours, national security risks are put on a plane to their country of origin; appeals may follow from the home country. McQuillan says America should follow the French example -- close all radical mosques because they aren't true religious institutions, but centers promoting Moslem supremacy, violence, and the suppression of other religions. • • • MULTICULTURALISM. Multiculturalists dominate American mainstream media, universities and the Democrat Party. Their unrelenting moral imperative is to protect their addlebrained ideals. Progressives would sacrifice all of us to those absurd ideals. They seem oblivious to the kidnappings, sex slavery, rapes, beheadings and torture inflicted on innocent Moslems, Christians and Jews in the Middle East. That obliviousness has translated into mini-versions of the same islamic jihadist atrocities in Europe where innocent people are gunned down, blown up and run over by trucks. • Yet, in the face of this undeniable reality, American multiculturalists point their fingers of moral superiority at us and preach tolerance of islamic jihadist terrorism, even if we are slaughtered, because they see the sensitivities of American or European Moslems as more important than our lives -- and, unfortunately this week, the lives of our children. Terrorism, President Obama lectured us, is not an existential threat. Well, his "JV" ISIS recruits are now a threat everywhere in the West, thanks to his turning a blind eye to reality. Andrew McCarthy says : "The idea that we are helpless to stop Islamist murderers before they act is a purposeful lie, pushed by Progressives and the DC swamp because they wish to do nothing." • • • THE "LONE WOLF" CHARADE. McQuillan points out that virtually every time a jihadist terrorist attack has occurred, the actor is initially portrayed as a solo plotter lurking beneath the government’s radar. And, every time it turns out to be untrue -- after a little investigating, an already known (sometimes even, notorious) islamic jihadist extremist is revealed to be what Patrick Poole calls a "known wolf." Poole’s reporting shows that "lone wolves" -- virtually every single one -- end up having actually had extensive connections to other Islamic extremists, radical mosques, and often jihadist training facilities. There are no lone wolves. McQuillan says : "The very concept is inane, and only stems from a willfully blind aversion to the ideological foundation of jihadist terror : Islamic supremacism. The global, scripturally rooted movement to impose sharia -- in the West, to incrementally supersede our culture of reason, liberty, and equality with the repressive, discriminatory norms of classical Islamic law -- is a pack. The wolves are members of the pack, and that’s why they are the antithesis of “lone” actors. And, indeed, they always turn out to be “known” precisely because their association with the pack, with components of the global movement, is what ought to have alerted us to the danger they portended before they struck." Patrick Poole explains : "As I've noted here at PJ Media going back to October 2014, the 'lone wolf' canard was spun by the Obama administration to exonerate themselves whenever a terror attack occurred." • The "known wolves" are not just in the US. They abound in Europe. Consider Germany. A Syrian migrant with known ISIS sympathies was intercepted at the German-Danish border with materials for making explosives and will be charged with plotting a terror attack – but only after spending six months in custody as authorities claimed they had difficulty bringing charges against him because he attempted to cross the border with 17,000 matches, radio equipment, and an ignition device, even though German prosecutors say the asylum seeker has been known as a radical Islamist to German authorities as far back as 2015. In another case, in February of 2016, two Algerian asylum seekers living in asylum centers were arrested after German police suspected they were plotting a terror attack in Berlin. In July, 2016, four Syrian asylum seekers were taken into custody in Dusseldorf where police say they were plotting a similar attack to the November 2015 Bataclan massacre in Paris. In July, 2016, Germany also had its first suicide bombing, carried out by a young Syrian asylum seeker, who attempted to carry out the attack in a crowded music festival, but, after being denied entry, detonated himself outside a bar injuring a dozen people. In December, 2016, Germany had its first major terrorist attack after rejected Tunisian asylum seeker Anis Amri hijacked a truck and used it to kill 12 and injure 56 at Berlin’s annual Christmas market. Earlier this year, a survey found that 67% of Germans feared they were at risk of being involved in a terrorist attack. The study, published by German legal expenses insurance group ROLAND, said: “A large part of the population doesn’t feel safe anymore when visiting crowded places. The fear of becoming the victim of a terrorist attack with a high number of casualties is considerable.” • • • OFFENSE IS THE BEST DEFENSE. Would America be suffering from terrorism if our law enforcement agents had not been stymied by the Obama/Hillary "politically correct" approach to monitoring Moslem suspects. They placed the sensitivities of Moslem Americans ahead of public safety. To quote McQuillan : "Make no mistake. Islamism in America reaches far beyond mosque walls. We have a pro-Jihadi curriculum in our schools, Jihadi preachers and speakers in our mosques and prisons, Jihadi bureaucrats and support staff in our government, Jihadi judges in our courts (one appointed by New Jersey Republican Governor Chris Christie), and Jihadis serving on oversight committees of police departments, the FBI and Homeland Security....Defending ourselves from Jihadi murderers is impossible, we are told by multiculturalists, without doing irreparable damage to freedom of religion and freedom of speech. Wrong. Our freedom of religion and speech will be impossible unless we stop the immigration of adherents of Sharia, and drive out American Jihadis. Our Constitution does not require us to adopt as fellow citizens people who hate our constitutional freedoms, let alone those who are crazed with an evil piety to maim and kill infidels. Free speech has never protected those organizing violence. Naturalized citizens who break their oath of citizenship can have their citizenship revoked. Their American-born children and other American Moslems involved with terror supporting-Islamist groups should be declared enemy combatants, and appropriate action taken." • • • THE TIME IS NOW -- BIN LADEN IS BACK. Ali Soufan, the FBI's lead investigator on al-Qaida after the 9/11 terror attacks, said Osama bin Laden's son may be ready to seek revenge for his father's death. Soufan says : "I think we're not done with the bin Ladens yet." Hamza bin Laden, now 28, "exhibited leadership skills early on," Soufan told CBS "60 Minutes" recently, and is believed to look and and sound like his father. He explained that as a child Hamza was used in propaganda materials, but no photo is known to exist of him as an adult. Soufan states : "We killed Osama bin Laden. But, his message lives....Interestingly enough, his recent message that came out, he delivered the speech as if it's his father delivering the speech, using sentences, terminology that was used by Osama bin Laden. He's basically saying, America and American people, we're coming and you're gonna feel it. And, we're gonna take revenge for what you did to my father. We're gonna revenge what you did in Iraq. We're gonna revenge what you did in Afghanistan." • In a 10-minute video released in mid-May, Hamza bin Laden urged Moslems in “America, the West and occupied Palestine” to carry out the attacks where they are. The video includes clips of terrorist attacks that have been perpetrated around the world, including in Israel. Bin Laden says that it is not necessary, or even preferable, to travel to Syria and join the Islamic State. “Know that inflicting punishment on Jews and crusaders where you are present is more vexing and severe for the enemy,” he said, adding that American and NATO targets are appropriate where there are no Jewish targets. • DEAR READERS, why do Europeans and Americans refuse to protect their own interests against the onslaught of islamic jihadist terrorism? Ayn Rand said : "Reason is not automatic. Those who deny it cannot be conquered by it. Do not count on them." Marine Le Pen's loss in France, a country riddled with jihadists but electing a president who says the open door will continue, is proof of Ayn Rand's statement. There is also the fact that mainstream media routinely plays down the Islamic roots of terrorism. And, consider that London presently has 100 sharia courts that are based on the rejection of the inviolability of human rights -- the values of freedom and equality that are the basis of English Common Law. And, yes -- 33% of UK Moslems do not feel 'part of British culture.' To quote Ayn Rand again : "You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality." The new French President Macron symbolizes the consequences of "avoiding reality" -- his multicultural manifesto is that "French culture doesn't exist in and of itself; there is no such thing as a single French culture. There is culture in France and it is diverse and multiple." Judith Friedman Rosen states that in Normandy, where tourists "pay tribute to those who died pursuing liberty," there is a pervasive fear as the "French open door policy to Moslem immigrants, who reject Western values and liberty" has given way to "terror, anti-Semitic and anti-Christian murders." The "clash of culture and civilization" continues, and "unlike the Asian and Indian immigrants...many of the Moslems are not willing to integrate into the society -- and are trying to force their values such as Halal, [and] the prohibition of pork...onto the French populace." Rosen asks : "What will be the future of France when 30% of French Moslems want Sharia law and less than 25% identify as French citizens?" Bruce Thornton asks, "How much worse will the destruction and death have to be to wake us up?" These "indulgences of naive idealism," dangerous delusions, and jihad denial still paralyze the West. Ayn Rand reminds us that "there are two sides to every issue. One side is right and the other is wrong, but the middle is always evil." • So, indeed, President Trump is right to tell Saudi Arabia and the Moslem world to"drive out" jihadist terrorists. And, while he is monitoring that program, Trump ought to start following his own advice and "drive out" the jihadist terrorists plotting the destruction of America.
