Texas Foiled First Islamic State Attack on American Soil
It seems the left hand never tells the right hand what it’s up to down at Foggy Bottom.
Within days of the foiled terrorist attack outside the exhibit of cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed in Garland, Texas, comes the news that the United States is offering “big payouts” (“strictly confidential”) to anyone who has “information” on key ISIS leaders.
“The U.S. Department of State’s Rewards for Justice Program is offering rewards for information on four key leaders of the terrorist group Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). The Secretary of State has authorized rewards of up to $7 million for information on ‘Abd al-Rahman Mustafa al-Qaduli; up to $5 million each for information on Abu Mohammed al-Adnani and Tarkhan Tayumurazovich Batirashvili; and up to $3 million for information on Tariq Bin-al-Tahar Bin al Falih al-‘Awni al-Harzi,” reads a press release from the State Department. (Weekly Standard, May 5, 2015)
“Established in 2004 as ‘al-Qaida in Iraq’ and later known as the ‘Islamic State of Iraq,’ ISIL has recruited thousands of followers from across the globe to fight in Iraq and Syria, where ISIL members continue to commit gross, systematic human rights abuses, including mass executions, persecution of individuals and entire communities on the basis of their identity, killing and maiming of children, rape, and numerous other atrocities.”
What took the State Department so infernally long to ‘fess up what the rest of us already know?
Isn’t this the same State Department whose boss, in addition to refusing to allow mention of the term “Islamist terrorism”, who only last May traded off five top Taliban generals for deserter Bowe Bergdahl and who allows the flow of illegal aliens—some of them terrorists—into the U.S. through the Mexican-U.S. open border?
The U.S. is no Dog, the Bounty Hunter when it comes to apprehending those who pose danger to Americans. Think Adnan el Shukrijumah, who had a $5 -million bounty placed on his head by the FBI. With a $5 million bounty on his head, el Shukrijumah, touted as Osama bin Laden’s s top flight lieutenant remained at large for 10 years until his reported death in a military manhunt operation by Pakistani Special Forces in South Wazirista last December.
The only force that proved capable of catching terrorists in the act is the one in Garland, Texas, where police shot and killed two terrorists—perfectly foiling the first ISIS attack on American soil.
But the government with a complicit mainstream media is doing its best to downplay the incredible message Garland sent out to international Islamist terrorism: “Texas shoots back.”
ISIS took responsibility for the foiled attack, but this is the spin the White House is putting on it:
“The case “is still under investigation by the FBI and other members of the intelligence community” to determine if the two assailants had any ties to the IS group, White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters. (Times of Israel, May 5, 2015)
“So it’s too early to say at this point.”
It’s not too early, Mr. Earnest, it’s too late.
Too late for the administration you work for to try to downplay what happened in Garland Sunday night.
Too late to cover the tracks of an administration which refuses to identify, let alone take a stand against Islamist terrorists who know their very identity is banned from the public lexicon.
Up until Sunday, May 3, 2015, Islamic terrorists were calling the shots, tweeting their never-ending threats, sending gory proof of their beheadings over the worldwide web.
Other than the empty and cheap rhetoric of politicians, there is no boots-on-the-ground resistance to the bloodlust rampage slaughtering its way through tens of thousands of innocent Christians, non-violent Muslims and civilians eking out a life for their families in poverty-stricken parts of the world. Weak willed Western leaders allowed Islamic terrorists to both seize and and then continue to hold the upper hand, in the raging war against innocents, with terrorist confidence that the current president of the United States lacks even the courage to name them, and by being able to recruit members through the same Internet over which they send out their horrific videos of beheadings with impunity. Islam was holding a watching world both enrapt and horrified.
Then came Sunday’s sea change, a sea change that took the upper hand away from two would-be Islamist terrorists: Two AK 47-wielding, big-talking would-be terrorists were gunned down by a Garland cop after they opened fire at the ‘Muhammad Art Exhibit and Cartoon Contest’—an event planned by the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI)—on the same day as the Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris.
Don’t get caught up in the mainstream media propaganda about what really went down on Sunday night.
Suffering a rare and very public setback, international Islamic terrorism was finally delivered the kind of message that counts: Texas shoots back and so will other states when circumstances demand it.
While taking advantage of all America has to offer but hating America all the same, mosque-attending Elton Simpson, 30, and Nadir Hamid Soofi, 34, of Phoenix, Arizona, who Tweeted “They Thought They Was Safe In Texas From The Soldiers of The Islamic State,” half an hour before the event got underway, were taken down by bullseye police gunfire before ever being able to carry out their Internet-touted terrorist act.
Bruce Joiner, 58, who took a bullet in the leg, entered the hospital in a stable condition, and was released only hours later.
Joiner survived, all 300 attendees of the ‘Muhammad Art Exhibit and Cartoon Contest’ survived making the Simpson Soofi Tweets nothing but empty threats.
Within hours of the attack, the mainstream media was already working to blunt the message from getting out to a terrorist-plagued world.
