Failure to Engage

Folks are not surprised anymore with Obama’s failure to engage in the war on terror.  From the Red Line(s) in Syria, to the pull-out of American troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, to Obama’s failure to define the threat as Islamic terror, to avoiding the anti-terrorist march in Paris, ad nauseum. The pattern has become quite evident. Our President has no interest in pushing back any more than he has to. He will continue “leading from behind” and only doing enough to appear engaged.

Nothing is worth doing unless you give it your all. But not all leaders ascribe to that philosophy – namely, one: our President. Let us hope that over the next 696 days the damage is not too extensive.

Islamic Terrorist Group Threatens Mall Attacks

On Friday, suicide bombers blew up a hotel compound in Mogadishu, Somalia where a group of government dignitaries from Somalia were assembled. The deputy mayor of Mogadishu and two legislators were among those who lost their lives. Al Qaeda affiliate, Al Shabaab, claimed responsibility for the bloody attack.

Now the Al Shabaab has issued a new terror threat in the form of a video warning of impending attacks on three malls: the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota, West Edmonton Mall in Canada and the Oxford Street Shopping area in London, England. In their terrorist video are graphic images of the terrorists celebrating the 2013 attack on Westgate Mall in Nairobi, Kenya. Sixty people were murdered in that terrorist attack for which Al Shabaab also claimed responsibility.

In light of these new terrorist threats, it is especially concerning that the U.S. is a country with open borders. Even more concerning is America’s president who will not call Islamic terrorism what it is: Islamic Terrorism.

When is he going to wake up and enter reality?

Nihilism???

Consider this quote of our fearless leader:

"And so, you know, this is a problem that causes great heartache and tragedy and destruction, but it is one that ultimately we're going to defeat. But we can't just defeat it through weapons. One of the things that we spoke about is how do we lift up those voices that represent the vast majority of the Muslim world, so that that counter-narrative against this nihilism is put out there as aggressively and as nimbly as the messages coming out from these -- these fanatics." 


Here is the definition of nihilism:


"the rejection of all religious and moral principles, often in the belief that life is meaningless." (Wikipedia)


HE WILL NOT SAY: "ISLAMIC TERRORISM."


At the same event, David Cameron said this:

"We do face a very serious Islamist extremist terrorist threat in Europe, in America, across the world. And we have to be incredibly vigilant in terms of that threat." 

Nihilism or Islamic Terrorism?


You decide. . .
