The ISIS Barbarians Are Already Inside our Gates

The unpleasant, politically incorrect truth is that ISIS is only the point of the spear, the jihadist with the suicide belt and the duffle bag bomb, but that messenger was sent by Islam itself.

In Brussels, police have said that some of the murderers who carried out the Paris attacks were hidden and aided for months by the Muslim communities in Brussels. ISIS “cells” cannot survive and build their bombs and conduct their attacks without help from a broader network of sympathizers.

After each terrorist attack carried out by Islamist militants, we are told that the religion of Islam is blameless and we are lectured and warned against the evils of “Islamophobia.” No one is permitted by the PC police to hold the “religion of peace” and its mosques and imams accountable for crimes committed for the greater glory of Allah.

To the American left and its willing collaborators in the media and the halls of power, “Islamophobia” seems a greater threat than ISIS. This moral confusion violates Sun Tzu’s first principle of warfare: know thy enemy. Effective war planning and countermeasures are impossible if you are more concerned with political correctness than defeating the enemy.

Common sense says don’t let the enemy inside the gate. Political correctness says put out the welcome mat.

The evidence of collective insanity is all around us. Is it any wonder citizens are rebelling against the establishment when willful blindness is praised as a humanitarian virtue?

• Our political establishment, including the business community, continues to tolerate and excuse open borders despite overwhelming public support for halting all illegal entry.
• Our leaders continue to import new Islamist refugees from Syria — adding to the half-million already here from Somalia and other Muslim nations — despite ISIS’s documented success in infiltrating its trained jihadists among those refugees.
• Our leaders and our media continue to criticize growing European efforts to curtail the movement of over two million Muslim “refugees” into Europe despite the cultural conflict accompanying that chaotic movement.
• Our limited military action against ISIS strongholds in Iraq and Syria is designed to silence domestic critics, not to destroy ISIS. Killing ISIS’s top commanders one by one is like killing cancer cells one by one.

It’s bad enough that this idiotic code of silence is enforced by the mainstream media, the universities, and the Obama administration, but it is nothing but sheer stupidity wrapped in cowardice when Republican leaders and conservative pundits fall into line and censor themselves...
