Man Named Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez Commits Domestic Terrorism

By CBS/AP, July 16, 2015 CBS News

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. -- A gunman unleashed a barrage of gunfire at two military facilities Thursday in Tennessee, killing at least four Marines and wounding a soldier and a police officer, officials told CBS News.

The shooter also was killed. Law enforcement sources told CBS News that the shooting suspect was identified as 24-year-old Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez. According to a U.S. law enforcement source, Abdulazeez was born in Kuwait and came to the United States in 1996. It's unclear if and when he became an American citizen.

A U.S. official told CBS News that Abdulazeez was not on law enforcement radar concerning possible terror links or aspirations. The FBI was not aware of him as being any kind of threat.

Paul Chabot: Evil is Spreading Under Obama 

By Dr. Paul Chabot, Feb. 5, 2015, Highlandnews.com

It's absolutely impossible for the average American to fully comprehend the evil growing in this world. I have long written on the sinister nature of terrorism, drug cartels, organized crimes, to include a comprehensive strategy on how to fight them. But in life, sometimes it takes the masses to fully see what evil is truly capable of. Imagine, if you will, the horrors of the concentration camps. Many didn't believe that such atrocities could occur in our world; yet they occurred, and when those images were brought to film, people could see for themselves - they believed, and they swore "never again."

In 2008 when I first went boots on the ground in Iraq as an intelligence officer working with our special operation forces, I forced myself to watch hundreds of terrorist execution videos so that I could fully understand the evil we face. It made me sick - I remember leaving my seat and going outside to throw-up - I remember having nightmares about those sadistic images of torture and death - it's simply beyond comprehension for most.


The torture and killing by ISIS, through the means of burning a human being alive is so evil-filled that just hearing of such a case turns our stomachs. While I respect the media's belief of not wanting to show the video to avoid spreading the ISIS propaganda, I believe that this killing should be shown, so that, like the sadistic nature of the holocaust, the free world understands just how evil this act is, from the planning to the execution. The images likely will never leave one’s mind, and nor should they. We must be honest with what we face.

To say we are at war with radical Islam is an understatement. We are at war with evil and I'm afraid the United States lacks the leadership, from the very top, starting with this President, to lead the free world in this battle.

The end-state for ISIS is the elimination of all of us - to create their Caliphate. If they continue to advance around the globe, as they are today, this will be on our doorsteps. It could be your loved one in that cage.

Victor Davis Hanson: Appeasement As Narcissism

By Victor Davis Hanson, Feb. 4, 2015, Townhall.com

Members of the Obama administration have insisted that the Taliban are not terrorists. Those responsible for the recent Paris killings are not radical Islamists. The Muslim Brotherhood is largely secular. Jihad is a "legitimate tenet of Islam." And "violent extremism," "workplace violence" or "man-caused disaster" better describe radical Islamic terrorism. Domestic terrorism is just as likely caused by returning U.S. combat veterans, according to one report by a federal agency.

What is the point of such linguistic appeasement?

The word "appeasement" long ago became pejorative for giving in to bullies. One side was aggressive and undemocratic; the other consensual and eager to avoid trouble through supposedly reasonable concessions.

But appeasement usually weakened the democratic side and empowered the extremist one.

The architect of appeasement -- for example, Neville Chamberlain, former prime minister of Great Britain -- was predictably a narcissist. Chamberlain believed that his own powers of oratory, his insights into reason and his undeniably superior morality would sway even a thug like Adolf Hitler.

ISIS 'See You In New York' Warning Fulfilled

New York City Police Commissioner
William J. Bratton

By Investors Business Daily, Oct. 24, 2014, Investors.com

Terrorism: An ax attack on two New York City cops by a Muslim convert with jihadi postings on his Facebook page is yet another reminder of the prophetic warning by the leader of the Islamic State.

Some pundits are downplaying any connection between Zale Thompson, who attacked two New York City cops with a hatchet, and the Islamic State, which has issued a call for such actions by sympathizers in the West. This is an "isolated case," they say, an act by a "nut job" and not by a terrorist conspirator.



The Islamic State is perhaps the world's largest collection of nut jobs. How sane can someone be, taking joy in sawing off the heads of infidels like Steven Sotloff and James Foley, or delighting in kidnapping and gang-raping the Yazidi women of Iraq because they worship a different god? How sane can young women be who leave the West to journey to Syria in the hopes of being incubators for future jihadis?

In the Soviet era, we might have called the likes of Zale Thompson sleepers — individuals hidden in our free society waiting for the call to fulfill their destiny.

The current bevy of homegrown jihadis beheading office workers in Oklahoma and killing policemen and soldiers in Canada may not have been planted here by the Islamic State. But in the age of social media, they have heard their master's voice and responded accordingly.

Steyn: No Such Thing s 'Lone Wolf' Terrorism

Mark Steyn
By Breitbart TV, Oct. 24, 2014, Breitbart.com

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”
