“He barged in and attacked the first person he saw — 54-year-old Colleen Hufford — stabbing her in the back and cutting her head off with a knife he had used while working at the plant.”“Disgruntled” fired factory workers shoot, stab, choke or beat to death their victims. Terrorists behead them. With obvious acts of terror being defined as “workplace violence” how reassured should the public be that the FBI is Probing Whether 'Islam Is Somehow Linked' To the Beheading In Oklahoma? “Alton Nolen, 30, had been fired from the food distribution company early Thursday and drove back to the plant around 4 p.m., according to sources. He allegedly hollered out "Islamic phrases" as he went about his business”. (Breitbart, Sept. 26, 2014) There’s nothing alleged about Alton Nolen’s photos of Osama Bin Laden on a Facebook page under the name Jah’Keem Yisrael or nothing alleged about his trying to convert co-workers to Islam. Expunging the words “radical Islam” from the public lexicon, renaming acts of terrorism “workplace violence” is not fighting terrorism but only trying to duck it. No matter how devious the name game, jihadists can never be ‘jayvees’. Obama is being caught up in his lies. “For six years, President Obama has endeavored to will the country into accepting two pillars of his alternative national-security reality. (National Review, Sept. 27, 2014)
"First, he claims to have dealt decisively with the terrorist threat, rendering it a disparate series of ragtag jayvees. Second, he asserts that the threat is unrelated to Islam, which is innately peaceful, moderate, and opposed to the wanton “violent extremists” who purport to act in its name. "Now, the president has been compelled to act against a jihad that has neither ended nor been “decimated.” The jihad, in fact, has inevitably intensified under his counterfactual worldview, which holds that empowering Islamic supremacists is the path to security and stability. Yet even as war intensifies in Iraq and Syria — even as jihadists continue advancing, continue killing and capturing hapless opposition forces on the ground despite Obama’s futile air raids — the president won’t let go of the charade. "Hence, Obama gives us the Khorosan Group. "The who? "There is a reason that no one had heard of such a group until a nanosecond ago, when the “Khorosan Group” suddenly went from anonymity to the “imminent threat” that became the rationale for an emergency air war there was supposedly no time to ask Congress to authorize. "You haven’t heard of the Khorosan Group because there isn’t one. It is a name the administration came up with, calculating that Khorosan — the Iranian–Afghan border region — had sufficient connection to jihadist lore that no one would call the president on it. "The “Khorosan Group” is al-Qaeda. It is simply a faction within the global terror network’s Syrian franchise, “Jabhat al-Nusra.”While the unbridled terrorists of ISIS continue to lop off heads, Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron seem to have become the ‘Wafflers of Radical Islam’. “David Cameron has signalled he is ready to dispatch Special Forces into Syria if it will bring Islamist executioner ‘Jihadi John’ to justice. (Daily Mail, Sept. 27, 2014) “The Prime Minister made clear he would not necessarily wait for MPs’ approval before giving the order – if there was a chance of catching the masked killer with the British accent who appears in IS beheading videos. Mr Cameron said: ‘In order to catch Jihadi John, you have to know where he is, right? We know he is in Syria.
'I very clearly reserve the position that if you need to act immediately, either to secure a vital British interest or to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe, you would act first and go to the House of Commons afterwards.’ “British intelligence and security agencies are working closely with the FBI and CIA to find Jihadi John and his group of kidnappers in what is now a high-profile murder and counter-terrorism investigation. MI5 and Scotland Yard, aided by GCHQ communication monitoring, have identified the British man believed to have carried out the beheadings of two American journalists and British aid worker David Haines. This information has been shared with a team of more than a dozen US investigators from an FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force, from the US agency’s counter-terrorism command, who are reported to have flown to the UK in the past few weeks.”The mainstream media should be asking whether the smoke and mirror routine of Obama and Cameron on ISIS has anything to do with deflecting public attention away from November American midterm elections or with next year’s British general election. How about it, ladies and gentlemen of the media? Meanwhile, it doesn’t take M15, Scotland Yard or the FBI to call what happened in Moore, Oklahoma, an act of terrorism, it just takes truth and courage from Western leaders like Obama and Cameron.
