The Gratitude of Muslims

In 1981, John D. MacDonald published "The Green Ripper," a tale of a domestic terrorist group which was practicing to stage a mass shooting in malls. In 2003, Tom Clancy published "The Teeth of the Tiger," a novel that detailed an Islamic terrorist's plan to shoot dozens of people in a mall in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Now fiction has become truth. We have news report of a teenager who killed five people and wounded others at a mall in Salt Lake City, Utah.

The young man was NOT a Mormon.

In fact, he was a Bosnian Muslim, and the mall was not far from a mosque.

This was clearly the first overt Muslim terrorist act since 9/11 on American soil, and just because it isn't on the same scale as 9/11 it shouldn't be ignored.

But the mainstream media is, for the most part, ignoring it. I do not recall any mention on the news that the young man was a Muslim. The police, in full politically correct don't-want-to-offend-anybody mode have said "there's nothing in the case that points to a motive." They claim it is just one of those unexplained random acts.

I don't think so. I think we can expect to see more such if the hate-filled Wahhabi strain of Islam continues to preach holy war against the infidels from the pulpits in mosques across the country. Maybe the next time it won't be one kid with a pistol and shotgun, but a homemade explosive vest perhaps. I don't think this is an organized attack in the sense of plotting by several people. But if the hatred is preached, the occasional susceptible mind will act on it.

I think that, after the strong response to 9/11, the Islamic fanatics are too shrewd to launch more organized attacks here, as they do not wish to provoke a president who has shown a willingness to make strong decisions.

Lastly, it demonstrates an egregious ingratitude toward America for a Bosnian Muslim to stage an attack in an American mall after we went to war in Bosnia to save Muslims from persecution and genocide. No good deed goes unpunished when dealing with irrational fanatics.
