Make no mistake, our problem with violent Jihad is not "home grown terror." Here are some facts you need to know.
Since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist
attacks in which Al Qaeda terrorists hijacked four flights—crashing one
into each of New York City’s Twin Towers, another into the Pentagon, and
the fourth into a field in Pennsylvania—a whopping 580 people have been
convicted of terrorism in the United States. An even more astonishing
380 of them were foreign-born, according to a release by the office of
Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) and a new report from Fox News. In addition, since 9/11, there have been 503 casualties (dead and wounded) in this country per Islamic Jihad. all of which have occurred during the past 7.5 years. Currently, we have open investigations, against Islamic terror suspects, in each of the 50 states.
3400 hundred people die from household guns every 5 weeks in America. Yet the GOP won't do what the voters want ... they won't even study the problem, let alone try to help.
ReplyDeleteFirst, yoour comment has nothing to do with the post. This is what Democrats do, ignore the argue and make up their lie in response. Secondly, your "household guns" comment is a perfect example. It is a crap lie. Of the 33,000 folks killed by guns in 2014, 21,000 were intentional suicides, another 10,000 die in gang fights by kids whose parents vote Democrat. The remaining 2,000 deaths include shootings by cops (1000), mass killings (250 counting 3 or more deaths in a single incident) and domestic violence.
DeleteThrow the gangbangers in prison and take suicide off the table, and we do not have a crisis gun issue. Understand that those bent on suicide do not need a gun to get the job done, and the gangbangers all own guns that are illegal.
BTW... It's been reported that the Orlando shooter was not an Islamic terrorist but a 'repressed gay who was motivated by revenge' according to his former gay partner. Also, reported by Politico, "Mateen’s attack at Orlando’s Pulse nightclub was the result of a sexual encounter with two Latino men, one of which Mateen later discovered was HIV positive. The attack, carried out at the nightclub’s Latino night, was Mateen’s attempt at taking revenge against a specific community of gay men who he felt had used and rejected him, the man said."
ReplyDeleteMateen's confused love/hate relationship with his personal lusts and his pledge of allegiance to Allah and ISIS are hardly mutually exclusive.
