Europeans and Americans on the Rampage!!!
9th December 2015
Mark Steyn lays out some inconvenient truth.
I switched on Fox News in my hotel room this morning to catch Bill Hemmer saying that this means “Seven of the nine terrorists were European.” As the Guardian report continues:
The latest information means that all of the assailants identified so far were French or Belgian, all native French speakers, and the attacks increasingly appear to have been part of a homegrown terror plot.
So “Europeans” are the principal security threat. Along with “Americans” like “28-year-old California man Syed Farook”.
This is why the public is not joining the media, the Democrats and the GOP establishment in getting the vapors over Donald Trump’s comments about Muslim immigration. The men pulling the triggers in Paris and San Bernardino are men with French, Belgian and US passports, but they are not “French”, “Belgian” or “American” in any meaningful sense. They regard their primary identity as Muslim – and their citizenship as a mere travel document. So it doesn’t require a large leap to wonder whether Islam is, in fact, an issue.
Mark also agrees with me on ‘radicalized’.
~The latest brain-dead euphemism is “radicalized”. As in: Oh, did you hear about poor Mohammed? He became radicalized. Don’t know how it happened. He went out for a stroll in the park, and somehow came back “radicalized”. This morning FBI Director Comey, in a fine demonstration of what a money-no-object bureaucracy can buy, announced that Syed Farook and his lovely bride had become “radicalized” even before they began (in Comey’s delightful formulation) “courting”.
