The politically correct willful ignorance that dominates our response to the jihad threat has lethal consequences.

But he insists nonetheless that “this had nothing to do with religion,” and that will, of course, be the official line, with the mainstream media full of stories about “right-wing homophobia” and “anti-Muslim backlash.” Watch for them; they’ll be coming very soon. “Orlando Nightclub Gunman’s Father Says Son Was Angry After Seeing Two Men Kissing,” […]
