Obama would have called the 9-11 attacks “workplace violence”

What does it take before we're allowed to call domestic Islamic terrorism what it is?

When James Foley was beheaded by a Muslim somewhere in the "Levant" the Obama administration called it a "terrorist attack against our country." They called it a "barbaric act."

When a woman is beheaded by a Muslim in Oklahoma the Obama administration calls it "workplace violence." It seems that the alleged killer, a convert to Islam, was merely carrying out the dictates of the Quran.

Muslims are commanded to fight unbelievers until they are either dead, converted to Islam, or in a permanent state of subjugation under Muslim domination. Allowing people of other faiths to live and worship independently of Islamic rule is not an option.

Qur'an (9:29) - "Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued."

Melissa Harris-Perry suggested that the killer was a "gentleman."

I would be remised not to bring up the story out of Oklahoma. It is a story that I read as workplace violence story. But I want to play just a little bit of the sound from the press conference that followed a gentleman who beheaded a woman in the context of his having been fired then he goes back to the plant. He stabs several people. One of the women, her head is severed.

Something strange is going on.

When Nidal Hasan killed thirteen people at Fort Hood, the Obama administration labeled it "workplace violence." Hasan claimed he acted in defense of the Taliban.

One would expect that when a self-proclaimed "Soldier of Allah" shouting "Allahu Akhbar" opens fire on dozens of American citizens and soldiers, killing and maiming as many innocents as he can, it would have been called an act of terror.

You'd think so.

Then there's the curious case of the Tsarnaev brothers. Technically, the Boston bombing is still not classified as a terrorist act:

The Boston Marathon bombing forced businesses to shut down for weeks and suffer thousands of dollars of losses, but nearly a year and half later, it appears that the federal government is unlikely to label the explosions as an act of terrorism for insurance claims.

To qualify for a terrorism designation under the federal law adopted after the 9/11 attacks, an event has to cause losses of $5 million or more. As of April 2014, Marathon bombing claims for property and business interruption and amounted to $1.9 million, according to a state report.

“After review of the events in Boston, the secretary has not determined that there has been an “act of terrorism” under the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act,” a spokeswoman for the Department of the Treasury said in a statement on Thursday.

The Treasury Department has maintained this position for more than a year. Some local news reports Thursday inaccurately suggested that the department had made a new determination.

At Politico Joe Scarborough had some questions about this administration's policies:

Their response, according to the Washington Post: There was also no indication that Alton Nolen was copying the beheadings of journalists in Syria by the Islamic State, the officials said, adding that they are treating this as an incident of "workplace violence."

Really? Despite the fact that the attacker's Facebook page had pictures of Osama bin Laden, the Taliban, a gruesome beheading by ISIL, pictures celebrating the destruction of the Twin Towers, and the promise that America would go up in flames, and also his declaration that "Islamic terrorists behead their victims' because of a 'precedent bestowed by their Prophet."

No indication that Nolen was copying ISIL? No religious motivation? How stupid does the FBI think we are? Who exactly are they afraid of offending? ISIL?

And is political correctness now so pervasive throughout our government that the FBI can't tell Americans the truth about the beheading of a grandmother in middle America out of fear of offending Muslims?

If the FBI weakly resorts to political correctness after a beheading on U.S. soil, can they really confront the evil America now faces and the threat of copycat killers?

The answer is no.

Opinion: How stupid does the FBI think we are?

That may be a bit unfair. The FBI has been largely eviscerated by the Obama DOJ. In short, the Obama DOJ has pretty much made Muslims and Islam off limits.

Since the battlefield is the normal workplace for the military, I guess all wars can be considered just some “workplace violence”. Must be why they started charging our soldiers with murder when they kill the enemy on the battlefield. It’s a wacky, wacky, insane world out there. The lunatics are running the asylum.

Somebody pointed something out on a local talk show yesterday that I hadn’t thought of before. Most insurance policies have exemptions for acts of war and terrorism. If the government called it an act of terror, the insurance companies could deny payment to the families. I’m not saying that’s the administration’s motive, but it could be a factor.

ALLAH MADE ME DO IT

Posted By Daniel Greenfield On September 29, 2014 In Daily Mailer,FrontPage

Stop me if you’ve heard this story before.

A Muslim convert who recently became very religious beheads a woman while reportedly shouting Islamic phrases. The authorities rush to convince everyone in sight that it has nothing to do with Islam.

I’m not talking about Alton Nolen in Oklahoma at the end of September, but Nicholas Salvador in the UK at the beginning of September. Salvador, a Nigerian Muslim convert, beheaded an 82-year-old European woman with a foot-long blade. Nolen killed a 54-year-old American woman with a 10-inch blade.

The bios of both men are fairly similar to the beheaders of British soldier Lee Rigby. The perpetrators were Nigerian converts to Islam. Alton Nolen was a black convert to Islam. They had a history of criminal behavior followed by a conversion to Islam and the inevitable bloody ending.

On his Facebook page, Nolen posted, “Sharia law is coming!!!” The killers of Lee Rigby had chanted for Sharia law in the streets of London. That is the same Sharia law of stonings and beheadings.

It is the law of the Koran which states, “When you meet the unbelievers in Jihad smite at their necks until you have slaughtered many of them.” (Koran 47:4)

Or as Nolen quoted after posting a gory beheading photo on his Facebook page, “Thus do we find the clear precedent that explains the peculiar penchant of Islamic terrorists to behead their victims: it is merely another precedent bestowed by their Prophet.”

The rest of the history
