That the attacks were jihadist is rarely mentioned, or only briefly. Then everything gets forgotten until the next jihadist attack.
In many American universities, tenured professors have openly supported radical Islam for years, described Hamas as a liberation movement, supported terrorism, shown their hatred of the United States and brainwashed students. Radical imams in many mosques have incited their followers to hate and even murder Jews (here, here and here) and appear to be trying to legitimize jihad.
Political Islam, support for Islamic terrorism and incitement to jihad – holy war — needs be squarely faced and defeated.
It is hoped that the Trump administration will allow no place for Jihad in the US or the West.
The jihadist attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans on January 1st by an American who converted to Islam and became an Islamist should come as no surprise.
This was not the first time that a Jihadist in the United States or Europe had used “vehicular jihad. The Islamic State (IS) appears to have “encouraged” it in 2010. IS even recommended that to cause “maximum carnage,” it be used preferably in “pedestrian only” sites.
In the US, Jihadist attacks, vehicular and other, include 9/11/2001, the Boston Marathon Bombing, the Fort Hood slayings, and the New Orleans attack {for more, see Appendix 1).
In Europe there have been at least 15 vehicular attacks, including two on Christmas markets in Germany; one on Nice’s seaside in France on July 14, 2016, and more in France, Spain, the UK , and Stockholm. There have also been countless non-vehicular jihadist attacks there , including the London Underground attacks of 2005, the slaughter at the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, the murders at Paris’s Bataclan theater, among many others (see Appendix 2).
