America, We Have A Problem
Gary Bauer, Campaign for Working Families: 2009 should be remembered as “the year of home-grown jihad.” Jihadists indoctrinated in the United States are a growing problem. While the Obama Administration and the liberal media continue to be in denial about this emerging threat, national security officials admit that these types of terrorists pose an increasing danger to our safety.
Earlier this year, FBI officials in Dallas arrested a Jordanian man attempting to bomb a downtown skyscraper. In Arkansas, a radical Islamist shot and killed a member of the U.S. military outside a recruiting station. In North Carolina, a converted Muslim was arrested for plotting to attack the Marine Corps base in Quantico, Virginia. Officials in New York City prevented another attack on the city’s transit system involving weapons of mass destruction. The deadliest attack occurred at Fort Hood, Texas, where 14 Americans were killed and dozens wounded by a man who called himself a “Soldier of Allah.” Barack Obama refuses to call this atrocity a terrorist attack despite the overwhelming evidence.
Officials revealed yesterday that five Muslim men from the Washington, D.C., suburbs of Northern Virginia were arrested at a home in Pakistan owned by a terrorist organization. The Associated Press reports that the men “told investigators they came to the country to take part in ‘jihad.’” All were between the ages of 19-25. It is worth noting that these men did not come from poverty-stricken homes. Ramy Zamzam, one of the men arrested, was a dental student attending Howard University. Despite being well-educated, these men, and many other terrorist plotters, bought into the hate-filled ideology that is radical Islam.
Top national security officials have been warning for years that al-Qaeda is recruiting and training Westerners to carry out terrorist attacks. Much of our attention has been focused on Europe because of its booming Muslim population. But the FBI has been investigating Somali Muslims in Minneapolis for more than a year after 20 individuals who attended the same mosque returned to Somalia. One became a suicide bomber. With the news from Pakistan and other events throughout the year, it is obvious the threat of home-grown jihad is just as serious here in the United States.
