Editor’s Note:
Where are ALL the imams? Why have they not assembled in front of The Lincoln Memorial and proclaimed in unison that Radical Islamic Jihad is wrong and goes against the tenets of The Koran?
Where are our “elite” leaders in Congress? The main stream media? Federal Law Enforcement? Our military “leadership”? They are busy creating conditions to actually increase the risk and advance the infiltration and the agenda.
The information is provided by a common knowledge source: Wikipedia. If it is common knowledge why do our members of Congress with their salaries and benefits and their staff with their salary and benefits all paid for by all of us NOT have this common knowledge?
Note that it states that it is a Dynamic List:
Terror attacks by Islamist extremists to further a perceived Islamic religious or political cause have occurred globally. The attackers have used such tactics [Not just guns!] as arson, vehicle rampage attacks, bomb threats, suicide attacks, bombings, spree shooting, stabbings, hijackings, kidnappings and beheadings.
Not just Muslims, but more specifically Radical Islamic Extremists – an ID Obama and Hillary refuse to acknowledge! Both want to admit more Muslims (Syrians and other African refugees) who cannot be properly vetted and MAY hide within their ranks MORE radical Islamic Terrorists. Plus, their relocation to America will decrease the chances for unemployed Americans to gain jobs and will raise the debt on all America through additional welfare benefits and the crime rate. What could go wrong? Their solution: Take guns away from all citizens.
Today, the Obama CIA Director warned Congress that ISIS is expanding its reach and will use the Syrian immigration to infiltrate America! Duh!
Notice in the listing below – a steady decline in terrorists attacks (2002-2009), when America was viewed as strong, tough and vindictive! Then watch as the attacks increase dramatically (2010-2016) after Obama is elected and the terrorists detect American weakness and ineptitude!
The following is a list of Islamist terrorist attacks that have received significant press coverage since 1980.
