Another Muslim terror attack

When is America going to wake up to the existential threat posed by radical Islam?

How many Muslim terror attacks must we experience in this country before we take steps to protect ourselves?

When are national security concerns going to take precedence over the insanity and blindness of political correctness?

Those are the questions I'm asking after the latest Muslim terror attack in the U.S. – one that resulted in the murder of four Marines in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Thursday.

Once again, the corporate media have betrayed their bent toward disassociating any act of violence perpetrated by Muslims with acts of terrorism – even when all the facts suggest otherwise.

Even when the name of the perp – Mohammad Youssef Abdulazeez – was released, CNN anchors and guests were suggesting that the name was Arabic, but not necessarily Muslim. Hello? Since when do Christian or non-Muslim Arabs name their kids Mohammad?

We've seen this over and over and over again with each new successive attack.

They told us the deadly reign of terror by John Muhammad, the infamous Beltway sniper, was not terror at all, but a series of random acts of violence.

They told us that the killing of 13 and the wounding of 30 at Fort Hood by Nidal Malik Hasan was "workplace violence," not terror.

They look in vain for any other explanation than terror for the Boston Marathon bombing that killed three and injured 264 – perpetrated by Muslim Chechen brothers Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev.

The willful denial of reality has continued since 9/11. Look at the carnage that has resulted since then.

It's also worth pointing out that most of these attacks were not perpetrated by people who infiltrated the country in the dead of night. They were here in the U.S. for long periods of time. Some of them were converts to Islam, others went to school here, got degrees here, worked here for many, many years. They represented ticking human time bombs no one wanted to see.

Yet, what has been America's official response?

Bring in more Muslims. Recruit them – give them "refugee" status. Open the doors wide for entry. Pretend they represent no more of a threat to America than do members of any other religious group. We do this knowing how policies like this have Islamicized Europe, opened it up for cultural suicide, resulted in periodic riots and civil unrest and compromised the law of the land.

No one wants to state the obvious: It makes no sense for America to continue an indiscriminate open-door policy of Muslim immigration or, worse yet, a preferential policy of bringing in, at considerable expense, tens of thousands of so-called Muslim "refugees."

There's another obvious lesson no one seems to want to address: Why do we continue to disarm our military personnel in the U.S. when we know they are high-profile targets of terrorists? It's bad enough that we have created "gun-free zones" all over America – schools, churches, shopping malls, entire cities. But to disarm U.S. military personnel on U.S. bases and in military facilities like recruiting centers, leaving our trained personnel defenseless against attacks like these, is irrational, unthinkable, unforgivable.

So what do we know about Mohammad Youssef Abdulazeez?

He was born in Kuwait in 1990 and had Jordanian citizenship. At some point, he immigrated to the United States with his family and became a naturalized U.S. citizen.

An ISIS-affiliated Twitter account tweeted 15 minutes before the attack started a "warning" to America with the #Chattanooga hashtag (see screenshot above article). Could this have been the signal that started the attack? A similar Twitter message came just before the ISIS attack in Garland, Texas, in early May. This pattern suggests ISIS may have sleeper cells it is able to activate within the United States.

The FBI said Abdulazeez was not on its radar and that the attack came as a total surprise. He lived in Hixon, Tennessee, a suburb of Chattanooga. He pulled up to the recruitment offices in a silver Mustang convertible without license plates. He stopped the car and started shooting from the front seat.

Two to three dozen shots penetrated the glass doors of the military recruitment offices — leaving bullet holes in a tight pattern. That indicates he was well-trained in the use of an automatic or semi-automatic rifle. He fired off 40 to 50 rounds and then sped off to his second destination, the Navy Reserve Center about 7 miles away.

"I never would have thought it would have been him," said Kagan Wagner, a Chattanooga acquaintance. "They were your average Chattanooga family."

God help us.
