Steyn: No Such Thing s 'Lone Wolf' Terrorism
 |
| Mark Steyn |
Mark Steyn, author of “The Undocumented Mark Steyn,” argued that calling terrorists “lone wolves” was a “cop out” on Friday’s “Varney and Company” on the Fox Business Network.
“This term ‘lone wolf’ is a cop-out…the idea that they somehow have to have a membership card in Islamic State or in al Qaeda for it to be official, fully-credentialed terror, like getting a hairdresser's license in New York State is completely preposterous” he stated.
Steyn added that the rhetoric of “lone wolf” terrorists allows those who do not want to admit that radical Islam is a problem to brush off terror as isolated incidents, saying “all jihad is local. That actually suits them, to say, ‘oh no this is just some mentally ill guy in Ottawa and this is another guy who’s bit goofy in New York and there’s no connection between the two.’ Because otherwise you have to treat it like your other big story. You have to treat it like ideological Ebola and you have to stop the infection and the ideological infection, this president, this administration has absolutely no interest in tackling”
