Krauthammer’s Take: Homegrown Radicals Like Ottawa Gunman ‘New Face of Terror’

Loading

NRO:

Charles Krauthammer warned the West to get used to small-scale Islamist attacks like the one that brought Ottawa to a standstill on Wednesday, explaining that lone wolf, self-radicalized jihadists living in Western countries are “the new face of terror.”

The conservative columnist noted that Western security forces have become very good at preventing attacks like those that took place in the 1990s and on 9/11, when Islamists would send fighters over from foreign countries.

“Now what I think has happened, with the tremendous ideological appeal of ISIS . . . it’s now getting these individuals already in Western societies to act on their own,” he said.

“It looks as if the appeal of ISIS is such that they can now spark these attacks without lifting a finger, without organizing what, for example, al-Qaida in Yemen does: Create a bomb, send somebody on a plane,” Krauthammer explained. “And that’s the new face of terror.”

Horse-sh–t! NOTHING new under the sun OR moon! They are moo-slimes — new converts or NOT — they are just getting in on the demands (SACRAMENTS == OBLIGATIONS) — of the faith! Still Islam — after 1400 years – the same old convert or die BS!

Krautie is emerging as part of the problem!! Was Ft Hood shooter a ‘new convert’? a new face of terror?

‘Calibration error’ changes GOP votes to Dem in Illinois county

Calibration error my patootie.

Ever here of one of these “calibration errors”, “programming glitches”, “hard-drive crashes” happening in favor of the GOP? Of course the stooped RINO’s would probably just reverse the results giving the COMMUNISTS another victory!

Lone wolf? Nope, known wolf.

And if these Islamist are being “self” radicalized, how did they learn of the tenets of radical Islam to begin with? They had to be in contact with someone who radicalized them, ala Nidal Hassan. We also have a problem in our federal prisons where radical Imams have been allowed to “convert” inmates (I may be wrong, but I think that was a Clinton brain fart).

And while Krauthammer blathers on about ISIS, do the rocket scientists that report on this stuff really think Al Qaeda has just decided to go back to their goat farms and let ISIS do the heavy lifting? It should make you feel all warm and fuzzy to know that CAIR has an open door to the Oval Office.

Since when is following the dictates of your political ideology (masquerading as a religion) being ‘radicalized’?

And do not forget the MoBroHood!

It’s not, but CAIR, ISNA and other organizations have memorized Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals so any comment that points out Islam is NOT a religion of peace, is considered “racist.”

@retire05: Maybe some (or all) of Alinsky’s ‘rules’ had the same origins as most of the crap in the Koran!
