More Homegrown Terrorism

As predictably as it fell off of the front pages of all but the local news coverage, it has finally been revealed that the shooter of two Army recruiters in Arkansas today was a home-grown terrorist: a faithful follower of the “religion of peace” – Islam. The slain soldier is Private William Long, 24, of Conway, Arkansas. Also injured by the gunfire was Pvt. Quinton Ezeagwula of Jacksonville, Arkansas.

Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad (f/k/a Carlos Bledsoe) is reported to be angry that the Army keeps killing muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan (neither soldier shot today had ever been deployed to either Iraq or Afghanistan). Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad hailed from Memphis, Nashville, and recently moved to Little Rock. Anyone thinking that the problem of home-grown Islamic terrorism is only a problem of large, northern cities, think again. Islamic terrorists are created anywhere there is a mosque.

I would be remiss if I did not point out that the terrorist slaying of an Army recruiter and the shooting of another could not occupy the attention the top stories on Google News, but a two day old killing of a late-term abortion doctor is still dominating the left wing news site. The threat of Islamic terrorism, which is now responsible for over 3,000 deaths in the United States, does not fit the narrative of the mainstream media like the slaying of a single exterminator of innocent human lives.

I would also note the New York Times’ reporting of the terrorist slaying today may mark the first occasion that the nation’s “newspaper of record” reported an SKS rifle only as “a Russian-made SKS semiautomatic rifle” and not an “assault rifle” as they normally do. It is only a semi-automatic rifle when an Islamic terrorist uses it to shoot unarmed American soldiers. To the New York Times, this is a story to be buried and forgotten.

UPDATE: It has now been released that Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad had traveled to Yemen on a Somali passport. The FBI knew of this for several weeks, but did not pick up Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad for questioning. I suppose that the FBI cannot be seen to profile black muslims in the age of Obama.
