Families of Terrorists See No Evil, Speak No Evil
Townhall.com ^ | December 17, 2015 | Victor Davis Hanson

Amid all the furor over Islamic terrorism in the United States, a few themes are ignored: the role of friends and family of terrorists, and how well the U.S had treated many of those who went on to kill Americans.

Take, for example, the family members of Tashfeen Malik and Syed Rizwan Farook, who recently murdered 14 people and wounded 21 in San Bernardino before being killed by police. The New York Times recently contacted Malik's sister in Pakistan, Fehda Malik, who insisted that her sister was not an extremist, "She knew what was right and wrong," Fehda Malik said.

Farook's father gave an interview to the Italian newspaper La Stampa shortly after his son's murderous rampage. He matter-of-factly remarked, "My son said that he shared [Islamic State leader Abu Bakr] al-Baghdadi's ideology and supported the creation of the Islamic State. He was also obsessed with Israel."

If true, the elder Farook, who was welcomed into the United States as an immigrant from Pakistan, knew before the killings that his son was an advocate of the Islamic State. He apparently kept quiet about it.

Silence is the Way of Islam for so-called peaceful moderates.

If you can prove the families knew then I assume you can get them on conspiracy charges.

Is it any different with the families of the Columbine killers or the Charleston killer or the Aurora theater killer? In every case the family is in denial: "He was such a happy kid. I can't imagine why he'd do that."

We should threaten to kill any terrorists families, which will occur after they commit their act of terror. Some won’t care. Some will think twice.

An extreme moslem wants to cut off your head.

A moderate moslem wants an extreme one to do it for him.

Every one of these family members need to be under arrest or under 24x7 monitoring followed by deportation.

Big difference between a brooding disconnected teenager and a supposed upright responsible adult.

Still no excuse....BTW with a little digging it is easy to show other examples to the contrary. Not so with Islam from what I’ve seen

Families of terrorists hold their jihadi sons with great regard.
They are very proud of their terrorist brothers and sisters.
The families have a job too. Their job is to act peaceful, say islam is peaceful and complain every time they are ‘offended’.
Their job is too make sure that we strangle ourselves with political correctness and pave way for their jihadi sons to finish us off.

Well, they wouldn’t claim her body, either. I’m gathering they just want nothing to do with the whole mess.

“”She knew what was right and wrong,”” Fehda Malik said.

Apparently, sis. She thought she was right and anyone who didn’t believe in the savages’ murderous ways was wrong....

If you are a fundamental Muslim, that is you believe the religion should be practiced the way Muhammed did , you would be proud of your children or relatives killing us Infidels.

The last thing you would do is become an Infidel collaborator and rat them out to us Infidels.

We have got to face up to the fact that Islam has stepped up the war with us Kafirs. (Infidels), and stop being so naive about it.

Expecting the enemy to help us out in any war is ridiculous. - tom

which is why they are combatants, not innocents, not civilians, and can be bombed

The bomber that killed the family combatants did not commit a politically correct war crime

the real criminal is the lawyer that brought the war crime charges

I was just thinking. Since social psychologists know why people follow fascists, turn each other in to authorities, do what soros did for the nazis, why aren’t they warning the public about Islam?

Did you ever trick someone with one of those electric pens or playing the hand-slapping game?

The first thing you say is “oh its not going to get you, trust me, try it”. Then ZAP, it got you.

Thats the ‘moderate’ muslims job... to appear peaceful and to tell you everything is fine and it will not hurt you. That is the roll they play in jihad.

This is how most of them are, and why none should be allowed into this country.
