Muslim Killing in California Touches a Nerve with Italians
Virtually every newspaper in Italy had the California shooting splashed across its front page Thursday, often in tandem with pieces on the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL), as Italians grapple with the possibilities of violent Islamist assault on their own territory.
Il Giornale, for instance, juxtaposed “Armed Men Massacre at Least 14 in California” with “On the Brink of War: Europe in Chaos While ISIS Laughs.” Even before it became known that the man behind the deadly assault, Syed Rizwan Farook, was a devout Muslim, Italians were comparing the slaughter with their own precarious situation, which includes daily threats of a jihadist attack.
Another Italian daily, Il Fatto Quotidiano, ran the parallel front-page titles “USA, Commando Shoots into the Crowd in California: Dead and Wounded” and “Manhunt for Two Recruiters of Meriem, Web Jihadist.”
Il Tempo, for its part, continued the trend, with one front-page headline blasting “ISIS Costs Rome 2 Billion Euros” and another reading “Slaughter in Center for Handicapped Persons: 14 Dead and Killer in Flight.”
Two days ago Italy was congratulating itself for having broken up the umpteenth jihadist plot on native soil, this time allegedly targeting none other than Pope Francis. Police carried out simultaneous raids in the Italian cities of Brescia, Vicenza, and Perugia, as well as one raid in Kosovo, arresting four people on charges of participation in a terror network with specific intent to target the Pope and incite racial hatred.
Italy has also recently been proposed as a model for counterterrorist strategy, given its remarkable record for thwarting terrorist plots before they can come to fruition. A combination of unapologetic profiling, regular deportation of individuals considered a security threat, and immediate arrest of radical Islamists who preach anti-Western violence have apparently come together in a strikingly successful cocktail of counterterrorism.
Italians, however, despite their impressive record for preventive security, are not without their fears. Patrols—both army and regular police—are in evidence throughout Rome, and particularly around Vatican City, where they can be seen toting automatic weapons.
Perhaps more unsettling, Rome’s overtly Christian Christmas decorations—consisting of angels, shepherds, and the ubiquitous presepi, or manger scenes—have been replaced in many cases this year with less Christian and presumably less provocative images, such as simple lights, spheres, and even red hearts. Walking the streets of Rome, one cannot help but wonder whether city planners were preparing for Valentine’s Day rather than Natale—the birth of Jesus Christ.
As Americans struggle to come to grips with who their real foe is and what to do about it, Italy operates under no illusions. It is the Islamic State—a declared, idealistic enemy at war with Christianity and the West—who plots day and night for the demise of its adversary.
For Italians, American catastrophe is a reminder of how real and present this threat is.
The Massacre At San Bernardino Is CONFIRMED Muslim Terrorist And With ISIS Planning To Massacre Ten Million Americans Its Time For A Wakeup Call
So now it is confirmed, this is international terrorism, sophisticated and well planed in advance from help abroad. We are witnessing the story evolve with the typical scenarios we hear from the past. Mr. Farook, the F.B.I tells us was an American citizen, and Ms. Malik traveled to the United States together in July 2014, says David Bowdich of the F.B.I. in Los Angeles at a news conference. To ensure that the system did its job, Bowdich adds that as a routine matter, to obtain the green card the couple had to prove that their marriage was legitimate, and Ms. Malik had to provide her fingerprints and pass criminal and national security background checks using F.B.I. and Department of Homeland Security databases.
The system failed. And if this is the case, expect thousands (ISIS has a goal of ten million Americans) to be massacred shortly.
Having lived as a terrorist myself and having family who dodged the best FBI databases, this process is a joke as I will show here.
Over and over again, investigators examining the terrorist network point to a common thread — the ease with which many in the network travel the world using fake passports or illegally obtained immigration documents is at a relative ease. For example, terrorist Ahmed Ressam, used a counterfeit French passport to enter Canada and apply for political asylum. While living there, he supplied fake Canadian passports to other terrorists. And he used a fake Canadian passport under the alias of Benni Noris in his successful entry into the United States and attempted to bomb Los Angeles International Airport. My cousin, Eiad Salameh who was involved with the movie-maker who directed Innocence of Muslims, Nakoula Basil Nakoula, who worked selling drug shipments to Hezbollah from the U.S., similarly entered Canada under a fake name Gabriel Ramzi, sold a ton of passports to nefarious individuals and was even allowed to escape by the F.B.I. when he was finally captured in Canada.
What is common with such cases is one thing–the names on these identification documents is not the real individual who could have a wrap-sheet a mile long as Eiad and Resam and thousands others did. As we stated earlier, I can bet the farm that Farook’s wife, Tashfeen Malik is not Tashfeen Malik. It is a code-name (explained here) and the so-called Tafsheen has a record a mile long in terror activity.
The F.B.I reveals that Farooq went to Pakistan where his wife resided. It would be impossible to know her true identity since thousands of foreigners have illegally obtained Pakistani national IDs including Jihadists from China, the Maldives, Uzbekistan and the United States. Why does the U.S. allow anyone from Pakistan entry to the U.S. boggles the mind.
The system is not only broken, but it is nearly impossible to fix unless profiling and stopping immigration from Muslim countries is established.
While profiling (so they argue) is not 100% fool-proof, it is at least 80-90%, and yes, shootings are common in the U.S., but why do Americans import additional shootings boggles the mind.
No Christians: All 132 Syrian Refugees Admitted to U.S. Since Paris Attacks Are Sunni Muslims
Since the Paris terror attacks on November 13, the State Department has admitted 132 Syrian refugees into the United States, and all 132 are Sunni Muslims.
No Christian, Druze, Shi’ite, Alawite, or member of any other religious minority in Syria has been admitted over that period, according to data from the State Department Refugee Processing Center.
The majority of the 132 Syrian refugees permitted to resettle in the U.S. since November 13 (72) are male, the minority female (60). Of the 132 total, 39 (29.5 percent) have been men between the ages of 14 and 50.
Another 53 (40 percent) are children aged under 14, of whom 30 are males and 23 females.
The Refugee Processing Center admission figures since the attacks in Paris continue a trend evident since the start of the current fiscal year, on October 1. President Obama plans to resettle 10,000 Syrian refugees in the U.S. during fiscal year 2016.
Since FY2016 began two months ago, 423 Syrian refugees have been admitted into the U.S., of whom 418 (98.8 percent) were Sunni Muslims. The remaining five (1.2 percent) were Christians – three Catholic, one Orthodox and one simply described as “Christian.”
“Actually, Christians cannot even leave the areas occupied by ISIS, they are either hiding or already dead. Christians are the ones who we need to save and accept as refugees, not muslims who actually are killing them. Instead we are accepting and supporting the oppressors. There is something terribly wrong with this picture. I suspect the establishment is too cozy with some shady Saudi donors, who are pushing these muslims down our throat.”
