Obama has scrubbed Islamic Terrorism away as a domestic threat

[John Adams]

Internal report labels white supremacists, black separatists, militias, abortion extremists main domestic extremists.

The FBI’s most recent national threat assessment for domestic terrorism makes no reference to Islamist terror threats, despite last year’s Boston Marathon bombing and the 2009 Fort Hood shooting—both carried out by radical Muslim Americans.

Instead, the internal FBI intelligence report concluded in its 2013 assessment published this month that the threat to U.S. internal security from extremists is limited to attacks and activities by eight types of domestic extremist movements—none motivated by radical Islam.

They include anti-government militia groups and white supremacy extremists, along with “sovereign citizen” nationalists, and anarchists. Other domestic threat groups outlined by the FBI assessment include violent animal rights and environmentalist extremists, black separatists, anti- and pro-abortion activists, and Puerto Rican nationalists.

Everything but Muslims. Boston never happened, I guess.

Did Boston happen? I am way more worried about the lockdown than some silly bombing which happens so rarely that for all practical purposes they never happen. You name two acts of terrorism over the past 5 years. 2 acts over 5 whole years! Meanwhile there are real crimes every single day. So at best the whole war on terrorism is a total waste of resources that would better be used fighting real crime that actually does affect people more than twice every five years.

And worst case? The Boston bombing was the direct result of the drone bombing, that is why they did it. So right there half your oh so scary terrorism is caused by the dumb war, not stopped by it.

Islamic terrorism is overhyped for paranoia so the government can control you and steal taxpayer money for the bloated defense and security industry. Reps should oppose the war on terrorism at least for that.
