The Khorosan Group Does Not Exist; It’s a fictitious name the Obama administration invented to deceive us.

Political Cartoons by Gary Varvel

Andrew C. McCarthy   .... "You haven’t heard of the Khorosan Group because there isn’t one. It is a name the administration came up with, calculating that Khorosan — the –Iranian–​Afghan border region — had sufficient connection to jihadist lore that no one would call the president on it.

"The “Khorosan Group” is al-Qaeda. It is simply a faction within the global terror network’s Syrian franchise, “Jabhat al-Nusra.” Its leader, Mushin al-Fadhli (believed to have been killed in this week’s U.S.-led air strikes), was an intimate of Ayman al-Zawahiri, the emir of al-Qaeda who dispatched him to the jihad in Syria. Except that if you listen to administration officials long enough, you come away thinking that Zawahiri is not really al-Qaeda, either. Instead, he’s something the administration is at pains to call “core al-Qaeda.”

“ 'Core al-Qaeda,” you are to understand, is different from “Jabhat al-Nusra,” which in turn is distinct from “al-Qaeda in Iraq” (formerly “al-Qaeda in Mesopotamia,” now the “Islamic State” al-Qaeda spin-off that is, itself, formerly “al-Qaeda in Iraq and al-Sham” or “al-Qaeda in Iraq and the Levant”). That al-Qaeda, don’t you know, is a different outfit from al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula . . . which, of course, should never be mistaken for “al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb,” “Boko Haram,” “Ansar al-Sharia,” or the latest entry, “al-Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent.”

... "Coming soon, “al-Qaeda on Hollywood and Vine.” ..."

Here is where Mr. McCarthy lays it out for even the low-information reader:

"For a product of the radical Left like Obama, terrorism is a regrettable but understandable consequence of American arrogance. That it happens to involve Muslims is just the coincidental fallout of Western imperialism in the Middle East, not the doctrinal command of a belief system that perceives itself as engaged in an inter-civilizational conflict. For the Left, America has to be the culprit. Despite its inbred pathologies, which we had no role in cultivating, Islam must be the victim, not the cause. As you’ll hear from Obama’s Islamist allies, who often double as Democrat activists, the problem is “Islamophobia,” not Muslim terrorism.

UK Daily Mail

 
"The woman beheaded by a Muslim convert was a grandmother who had lost her home in a tornado, it emerged today. 
"Alton Alexander Nolen, 30, is accused of killing Colleen Hufford, 54, and stabbing Traci Johnson, 43, who apparently were attacked randomly at the Vaughan Foods facility in Moore on Thursday, after he was fired from his job 
"Hufford, who had been married for 25 years, had lost her family home in the Moore tornado." ...

Traci Johnson

Please, Doctor Ben Carson, do NOT run for president.


I fear for Dr. Carson and what will be done to him if he should be lassoed into running for president. All we know and admire about this man will be destroyed by the left when they superimpose the image of him that they create over all that he actually is.


I see Dr. Carson as a political innocent whose impact is stronger as the voice of reason in the hurricane of demagoguery swirling around the election campaigns. I see him perhaps as a surgeon general, but as honorable as he is, he will be vulnerable to attacks from the left.

Foreign policy and terrorism are coming to the forefront of concern and it will take a president skilled and courageous in international affairs, but I do not see anything in Dr. Carson's resume' that would create those qualities. In fact all the shortcomings in Obama's background are the same as those in Ben Carson's, save for the decency and humanity I see in the doctor.


Only those who have been governors of states seem to have been properly prepared to run a nation, deal with political opposition and get their hands dirty if they must. (That last characteristic has been a resume enhancement for Democrats.)  Mr. Obama has not been the least afraid to get his hands dirty, but that quality alone has not made him an effective president. There is mostly the ability to unify national leadership behind a well-defined cause and that takes leadership qualities Obama lacks. I fear these also may not be sufficient in a man of the quality and experience of Dr. Ben Carson and to put him in the position of a presidential candidate will only harm this good and decent man. If we elect this national treasure as president I fear we will set Dr. Carson up for failure.


If Dr. Carson is our candidate, make no mistake: I will vote for him, if for no better reason than to cancel a Democrat vote.  But please, Dr. Carson, for all our sakes, but especially your own, I beg you not to run for president.

Al Sharpton Empowered

John Fund & Hans von Spakovsky

 
... "Many principled liberals are privately appalled that President Obama and Eric Holder have exalted the status of Al Sharpton, and they fear that any new attorney general will also be in thrall to him. Some have even gone public. Liberal journalist Margaret Carlson of Bloomberg News wrote last year: “We’ve gone from Martin Luther King to the Reverend Al Sharpton, and . . . it’s very dispiriting.”

"Indeed, in King’s famous 1963 speech at the Washington Mall, he told of his “dream” that his four children would “one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

"That dream remains as noble as ever, but it won’t be advanced by the Reverend Sharpton and his “I have a scheme” method of activism. One of the saddest legacies of the Obama-Holder years will be that while they claimed MLK’s mantle as their own, they left the country more racially polarized than before and cynically worked overtime to give credibility to the Al Sharptons of the world.

The Lie That Will Start a World War


American Thinker   ... "No one but the Jews has a genuine religious claim to the 35 acres of the Temple Mount, and anyone who has studied the history knows this.  Even Christians – who do have legitimate claims to other sites in the area – do not contest the Mount.  This is not arcane knowledge.  It can be gleaned in a few minutes of relatively light reading.

"Yet our media deceptively hides this from the public.  We are being lied to whenever the media tells us that the area is sacred to Muslims, rather than apprising us that the claim is an Islamic fraud, so obvious that even the imams have to know that they are lying.  That five-year gap does not go away."..   By Mike Konrad

Obama tries to shake off Carter aura...


The Financial Times Ltd.    ...  "Replete with George W Bush-style rhetoric about a “network of death” and “this brand of evil”, Mr Obama’s speech this week was an effort to reboot his flagging presidency.
Obama and Jimmy Carter
"In political terms, the more martial Mr Obama was trying to shake of the Jimmy Carter aura that has been hanging over his White House; the steady corrosion of leverage at home and influence abroad in the face of Middle East turmoil that slowly leaves an incumbent looking impotent.

"From the foreign policy perspective, Mr Obama conducted what amounted to a genuine pivot in his approach to the world – embracing the central point of many of his critics who insist that a leadership vacuum has emerged in the world that only the US can fill." ...  Via Drudge.

Islam Comes to Moore, Oklahoma (Updated)


 

Warning Signs   ... "Don’t call it a religion. And surely do not call it the “religion of peace.” There was nothing peaceful about Islam from its earliest days when the citizens of Mecca came to the conclusion that Muhammad and his followers were a threat to them. That was 1,400 years ago.
"If it were in my power, I would require every American to read “It’s All About Muhammad: A Biography of the World’s Most Notorious Prophet” ... "
“More than two-thirds of the canonical biographical materials have to do with the violence he used to spread his religion.”  It was a short step from Muhammad, the self-proclaimed prophet who later called himself the messenger of Allah, to Alton Nolen, the Muslim convert who is alleged to have beheaded a former co-worker."

UPDATEAn American convert to Islam beheaded a former colleague in Moore, Oklahoma. US law enforcement officials are not calling it terrorism.    ... "Nolen’s Facebook page – under the name Jah’Keem Yisrael – features virulently anti-Christian, anti-American and anti-Israeli posts as well as photos of ISIS and Al-Qaeda terrorists.
"In a post to “fellow Muslims,” for example, he writes: “America and Israel are wicked. Wake up Muslims!!!”
"Nonetheless, US law enforcement officials say there is no indication that the decapitation is linked to terrorism.
"Nolen’s colleagues told investigators that he had made numerous
attempts to inspire fellow employees to convert to Islam."
The ISIS one-finger salute This will negate the Christian "One Way" gesture, I'm sure.
About that Musim Brotherhood three-finger salute Sadly, Muslim children are giving it.

Language advisory: Left wing comedian Bill Maher bashes liberals and their defense of Islam. I have never had good to speak of Maher, but he does show courage by dealing with this subject. His comments are inadvisable for your kids unless you are some kind of new-age progressive parent. (Video)

Learning more about the victim of a beheading at a Moore warehouse

A Little On Victim Killed In Beheading Attack, Colleen Hufford   
"I wanted to post a bit about Mrs. Hufford. We’ve spent a lot of time talking about her killer, and that is necessary, to know what we fight.
"But we also need to take time and honor the life of the mother and grandmother he killed, Colleen Hufford.
"Unfortunately, there’s not a lot out there, and maybe that’s good for the privacy of her family. But here’s a local spot with a little bit about her."

Her home had been devastated by the Moore Tornado.

"Mrs Hufford, 54, was a mother and a grandmother, who had been married for 25 years, whose husband came to pick her up from work every night. They lost their home in the tornado in May.

"The second victim, Traci Johnson, 43, was released from the hospital today."

Tragedy? Workplace violence? Have some courage, KOCO and be journalists! It was an act of Islamic terrorism and you are afraid to call it that because political correctness has sucked every ounce of courage out of the press.



Democrats now have blood on their hands for coddling and permitting these barbarians to operate, not identifying them for what they really are as Muslim terrorists and caving into their demands at every turn so as to "not make them mad".
It now is time to place people like Eric Holder and Barack Obama on notice for not attacking this problem but giving Islam a platform to operate in America.

Will we be seeing Al Sharpton in Moore, Oklahoma? Today's posts on the Oklahoma beheading


Jah'Keem Yisrael and Protecting Muslim Sensibilities ... "And as shocking as a woman being beheaded in broad daylight is, what’s more horrifying is the fact that after she arrived in the morning in one piece and left in the afternoon zipped into a body bag, as usual the politically correct types seem to be more concerned with protecting Muslim sensibilities than acknowledging bloody jihad." ...

logoIn wake of Oklahoma Muslim Beheader, Muslim Leaders Want Security Protection from “Islamophobia”
"This speaks volumes and is illustrative of the whole of the war. The reaction is never to look inward and reform the texts and teachings that spur millions of Muslims to wage jihad. No, the reaction — and it is always uniformly the same — is to attack the victim, to attack the defense, attack attack attack under the guise of victimhood."
 
... "Writing in the Jewish Advocate last year, columnist Charles Jacobs described Imam Webb as someone who “teaches vicious hatred and calls for young Muslims to engage in Jihad against non-Muslims in order to establish a global Islamic state.' ”

Beheading in the heartland    ... "No "nexus to terrorism"? How about being inspired by terrorists? Does that count as a terrorist attack? It would be amusing if it wasn't so tragic how authorities fall all over themselves, twisting their logic into pretzels, in trying to avoid using the term "terrorist" and "Islam" in the same sentence." ...

... "Nolen's tendency to anger and violence was well-established. After his prison conversion to Islam, his anger and talk of violence were directed at unbelievers and America in general. His Facebook page is full of such rantings. He was active at at least one mosque in the area, and openly sympathized with terrorism. He believed women should be stoned for their transgressions and was in an argument about that at his workplace, apparently resulting in his being fired and leading to the horrific events. Such a mix of violent tendency with religious zeal has proved deadly before. It will again. For Kenneth Tucker's part, he thinks Nolen was bound to his path with or without Islam."

That may be, but Nolen's method of killing was definitely Islamic. TD
