In FrontPage I discuss the latest Obama administration willful ignorance: Relax. After reports surfaced last month that dozens of private airline employees may have had terror ties, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson this week set the record straight: “It’s not that they’re suspected terrorists. It’s that they hadn’t been vetted through all available databases. We […]
Relax: DHS says airport workers suspected of terror ties have now all been vetted
Can an administration that doesn’t even acknowledge the existence of the terrorists’ motivating ideology really vet these people, or anyone else? “Airport employees thought to have possible terrorist ties have now been vetted,” by George Colli, Action News Jax, April 6, 2016: Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson is setting the record straight on our series […]
DHS chief: Don’t call it “Islamic extremism,” it has nothing to do with Islam
Johnson has said this before, on more than one occasion. And despite manifesting an abysmal ignorance of the contents of the Qur’an, Johnson claims to have read it, and that it reminds him of quintessential American values. More proof that he hasn’t really read it. Graham’s point is excellent: “Even more disturbing (and once again, […]
DHS Secretary to Muslims: what Islamic State is doing “is no part of your religion”
“Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson says that in order to keep ISIS from radicalizing Americans inside the United States, it is ‘critical’ not to use the word ‘Islamic’ when describing attacks or other actions tied to the terrorist group.” The fallacy here is that Muslims are looking to non-Muslims to define for them what is […]
40 US Muslims have come home after waging jihad for the Islamic State
“We have in fact kept close tabs on those who we believe have left and those who’ve come back,” says Johnson. “But you can’t know everything.” Indeed. Especially when your administration is committed as a matter of policy to denying the nature and magnitude of the threat. Stahl asks him, “So do you think if […]

DHS Secretary: To call the Islamic State Islamic would be “dignifying them as occupying some form of Islam”
Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson was reduced to stammering tautologies when George Stephanopoulos asked him why the Administration won’t call the Islamic State Islamic: “Now I have to say, when I travel around the country and meet with Muslim leaders in this country in these engagements that I have, they all tend to say pretty […]
Islamic jihadists threaten Mall of America in new video
Even the threat serves the purpose of fulfilling the command to “strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah” (Qur’an 8:60). “Mall of America threatened in purported al-Shabaab video,” by Mary Divine, Pioneer Press, February 21, 2015: A masked man in a purported al-Shabaab video urges followers to use the 2013 Nairobi, Kenya, […]
DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson: “We in the administration and the government should give voice to the plight of Muslims”
What about the plight of the victims and targets of Islamic jihad? Not as high a priority. “Jeh Johnson: The Administration Must ‘Give Voice To The Plight Of Muslims,’” Real Clear Politics, February 18, 2015 (thanks to Jerk Chicken): DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY SECRETARY JEH JOHNSON: We in the administration and the government should give […]
