The Resurgence of Islamic Terrorism
Congress certified Donald Trump’s presidential election Monday, highlighting the groundswell of patriotism that is surging across America. The radical propaganda media has toned down some of its insane rhetoric here and there, but don’t think they’ve come to a great awakening, much less repentance. And neither have the terrorists.
On January 1, a man accelerated a pickup truck into a crowd of pedestrians in New Orleans, Louisiana, exited the vehicle, and began shooting at police. The perpetrator murdered 14 people, injured 35 others, and wounded police officers before being killed.
The man was Shamsud-Din Jabbar, he had just committed an atrocity similar to other Muslim terrorist attacks, and he had an Islamic State flag affixed to the pickup truck. Yet many news executives and their journalists and anchors were somehow slow to report this stark fact. The information leaked out anyway. How did the leftists respond? By lecturing Americans on how mowing down innocent lives on a suicidal radical Islamist rampage is really just a distraction from the real threat: white supremacy.
“There will always be crime,” said msnbc commentator Charles Blow. “What we try to do is to keep the crime as low as possible. All different kinds of people will commit crimes. The problem here is that you jump on one sort of crime, one crime committed by one name that sounds exotic, one brown face, rather than looking at all of the domestic terror that we face, including what the fbi says, you know, is a really big problem, which is young white men in America. We need to look at all of our domestic terrorism and say this all is a problem.”
You read that right. And a lot of your fellow Americans are unwittingly letting Charles Blow subtly shape their opinions on good and evil.
Blow wants you to think it’s just a “crime.” He wants you to think that heartache and outrage over these particular deaths is racist. Nobody claims that radical Islamists are the only people who commit terrorist attacks. But it’s a mathematical fact that they commit many, many terrorist attacks. The website ReligionofPeace.com estimates that Islamic terrorists have carried out more than 46,539 terrorist attacks since the ones that changed the world on Sept. 11, 2001. Would it be too much to ask the news to focus on this very real threat for at least a few minutes before abruptly changing the topic to white supremacy?
msnbc host Lawrence O’Donnell’s commentary was even worse. “No one who has ever crossed the southern border, in the history of the existence of the southern border, has killed more people in this country than Timothy McVeigh, who was born in Lockport, New York, the northwest part of the state, into a white Roman Catholic American family with roots in this country that go back farther than Donald Trump’s roots in this country,” he said on the nightly news. “The New Orleans terrorist, like Timothy McVeigh, reached the rank of sergeant in the United States Army. The simple fact is, this country has suffered more deadly terrorism at the hands of American-born citizens who are veterans of the United States military than people who have crossed into this country at the southern border. It is very clear from the evidence that if you want to worry about terrorism in this country, the United States Army is a much bigger problem than the southern border.”
What happened to real journalism? Such biased coverage is an embarrassment. The 1995 Oklahoma City bombing was terrible. We felt it at our Trumpet headquarters in Edmond; we saw the aftermath downtown. We’ve been to the memorial. Many Americans were and are outraged by that despicable act.
But what does the Oklahoma City bombing have to do with New Orleans? Jabbar was not radicalized by the U.S. militia movement like McVeigh; he was radicalized by the Islamic State. So let’s talk about the Islamic State instead of arguing that McVeigh’s existence invalidates any concerns Americans have about radical Islam or the millions of unvetted immigrants crossing the southern border. This is bait-and-switch journalism that is easy to see through.
You know the politicization of U.S. media has gone too far when Shamsud-Din Jabbar ties an Islamic State flag with his pickup truck and kills 14 people in the name of Allah and the main takeaway is “Beware of white men concerned about border security!” What a sick joke! Higher education’s focus on diversity, equity and inclusion has created a generation of journalists who excuse blatant acts of terrorism. It has also created a generation of young people who protest in support of terrorist groups like Hamas.
“Let’s all give a big shout-out to the ‘Globalize the intifada’ crowd,” Douglas Murray wrote for the New York Post. “For years, citizens of Israel have had maniac jihadists driving at them and trying to mow them down on their streets. But this got only cheers from the dolts on U.S. college campuses and New York street protesters.”
In other words, it is not a coincidence that men like Charles Blow and Lawrence O’Donnell are trying to steer the conversation away from Islamic terrorism to white supremacy, the militia movement, border patrol or any other subject they can latch onto. These people have been educated by institutions that hate Western civilization and the ethnic group most responsible for it (i.e. the Jews). Why else would the corporate media go to such lengths to cover up news stories about terrorist attacks in America and grooming gangs in Britain?
Most journalists are not actively rooting for Pakistani men to rape little girls, but they are willing to turn a blind eye to the crisis if exposing it means casting Islam in a negative light. Why?
“Even after almost a quarter of a century, it is still different with jihadists,” Murray continued. “There are too many people who think that there are ‘cultural sensitivities’ that have to be respected. People talk about making sure that whole communities are—rightly—not smeared by association. … Take the most prominent Muslim group in the United States—the Council on American Islamic Relations. As well as being an unindicted coconspirator in past terrorism cases, cair’s leadership is still full of people who are not anti-terror but actually pro-terror. It is quite an achievement if you think about it. To lead a Muslim American organization and praise terrorism, only to then complain that too many people conflate Muslims and terrorism.”
This twisted mindset can take root only in a society that loathes its biblical moral foundations more than it loathes the types of evils being perpetrated by radical Islamists. For well over a generation, Islamist leaders have referred to America as the “Great Satan” and to Israel as the “Little Satan.” Many atheists, socialists and feminist elites agree. They don’t agree on whether there is a Satan, whether there is a God for Mohammed to be a prophet of, whether church and state should be separated, whether churches should even exist, whether women should belong to men, whether women should wear burkas or participate in pornography, whether males and females can change their sexes, whether children should be taught homosexuality, whether you can eat meat, whether you can drill for oil, or any other issue. But they know for sure that America is evil.
This hatred is proof that there is something more going on than just sociology, politics, ideologies and economics. It is something spiritual—and it is evil. My father, Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry, explains in his book America Under Attack that there is a campaign in the end time to “blot out the name of Israel from under heaven.” This effort is described in Bible scriptures like 2 Kings 14:26-28, which say that God will raise up an end-time type of King Jeroboam ii to save America, Britain and Israel long enough for people to at least consider repenting of the sins that allowed this evil campaign to reemerge with such murderous vengeance. This end-time type of Jeroboam is now on the scene, but the U.S. media is still in the clutches of the Communist left.
