The attempt by a 19 year old Somalia-born, naturalized United States citizen named Mohamed Osman Mohamud to murder and maim hundreds if not thousands of Americans at a Christmas tree lighting in Portland, Oregon, will most likely be the first of many such attempts by Islamists to sow death and destruction in the U.S. this Christmas season. Islamists seem to have concluded that killing people in large numbers at this time of year will give them the biggest bang for the buck, so to speak, and so it is virtually a foregone conclusion that unrepentant, cold blooded killers like Mohamud will try to set off car bombs in crowded places, blow up airplanes, detonate explosives at sporting events, and so on, as they seek to do exactly that, all in the name of Islam, of course.
