And the whole “terrorism” debate continues yet again…
Terror Trends Bulletin ^ | 3 Dec 15 | Christopher W. Holton

In the wake of the San Bernardino attack yesterday morning, we are once again witnessing the pointless debate in law enforcement circles, as well as the news media, as to whether the mass shooting was an act of “terrorism.”

This morning on Fox News, a so-called “expert” was dissecting the Justice Department’s official definition of terrorism to justify the FBI’s hesitation in classifying what is, let’s face it, another act of war.

That same “expert” claimed that this was another example of “self-radicalization” over the internet and thus was very difficult to classify.

Fighting through the nausea induced by the talking heads’ ignorance, I managed to utter the word, “Hogwash.”

The headline of this article highlights THE great symptom of an underlying malaise; “the proclivity to “Debate, “Discuss,” “Expressions of different points of view,” when what is needed is the issuance of commands to ones enemies followed by their destruction.

If the incident was by a Muslim, then it is terrorism. All Muslims are indoctrinated to kill as a way of life to solve problems that they do not agree with..

Yet the outcome of the discussions will be more reason to take guns away from law abiding citizens. Citizens willing to defend the Constitution.

I’ve got a bad feeling about Dec 18th Star Wars opening night.

Yes....the libs try to claim that if some Muslim nut is not specifically tied to a named Islamic terrorist group, then it's just some loner....workplace violence. This guy was just a gun nut who went wacko...no ideology here.

Baloney...all these Muslim terrorists are ticking time bombs. Whether they're carrying a card that identifies them as a member of Al-qaeda or ISIS is irrelevant. They're Islamic terrorists...period.

What is the only difference between the terrorist attack in Garland, Texas on May 4, 2015, and the terrorist attack in San Bernardino, California on December 2, 2015?

In Garland, there was someone on the scene who could shoot back.

Gun free zones kill.

“......what is needed is the issuance of commands to ones enemies followed by their destruction.”..............

What is missing in the equation is a leader who will issue such commands. Certainly odumbo will avoid any such order against “his people”, simply, “Never gonna happen”

It’s Errorism to call Jihad Terrorism.

Look for this stuff to start happening every other week. Wait til they shoot up the food court at the Mall Christmas week or something similar.

yeah, that is the next scenario I envision, also.

a shopping mall, or a bunch of them going “sudden jihad syndrome” at a football game in the coming bowl season..

something is coming. I got a bad hunch that we are seeing only the beginning. next one will be much worse.

God help us. Lock and load

There is a reason why CAIR came out sobbing and doing the mea culpa last night. They are scared to death the Mosques are going to start suffering from natural combustion.

No - this is actually GREAT.

People are going to start believing their lying eyes, instead of the TeeVee.

You’re splitting hairs. Jihad is a form of terrorism.

No, lefties want to make TEA Partiers and former military terrorists just like Jihadis.

That meme needs to be fought by all available means. Otherwise you end up in Gitmo'.

No, calling Jihad terrorism is to fall into the narrative of the Left.
