Speculating pundits have been agonizing over why jihadists become a threat and how we go about preventing domestic “radicalization”. They persist in using modern Western constructs to try to figure out a 1,400-year-old problem. It’s Islamic jihad, stupid.

NPR whitewashes Mateen’s jihadist motive, calling his pledge of allegiance to the Islamic State a publicity stunt
In the name of political correctness, the leftist ideologues are at it again, abetting jihadists by publicly denying their destructive ambitions for the West.

Florida officials invite Muslim cleric to address media “to preempt a possible backlash against the Muslim community”
And Imam Muhammad Musri of the Islamic Society of Central Florida warned against “sensationalizing” the story.

UN chief removed Saudi Arabia from blacklist of human rights abusers after Saudis threatened to cut UN funding
A clear admission that the UN is thoroughly compromised and sold out to interests that are at clear variance with its (long forgotten) stated mission.
