9/11: A Threat Assessment
By Justin O. Smith

This September 11th America is once again under an intense terror threat from the Islamofascists and the Islamic State. While many Americans reflect on the horror of the September 11, 2001 World Trade Center attacks, innocent Americans falling 100 stories and trapped under burning rubble, and the violent and vicious attacks on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi on September 11, 2012, our leaders must now join together in several courses of action to defeat the ideology of Islam at home and abroad, especially in light of ongoing genocides against Christians in Iraq and Syria and the recent beheadings of two Americans.
Whether one believes our war is a cultural clash with Islam or, as Great Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron recently stated, "a poisonous ideology of Islamic extremism that is condemned by all", in brief, history shows that ISIS is actually implementing Islam exactly in the manner of Mohammed; history also shows that the Wahhabist philosophy followed by ISIS and the members of Al Qaeda and al-Nusra has been supported by the House of Saud since 1740, all of which are directly involved in global terrorism, along with their Muslim Brotherhood allies from Egypt's Al Azhar University.
Wafa Sultan is a Syrian psychologist who left the Alawite sect of Islam, and she flatly asks, "What is this 'moderate', this 'extremist' Islam? I never heard such a thing in Syria growing up. Islam is Islam." Ms. Sultan has made the point in numerous writings that "moderates" and "extremists" are purely a western invention, a myth.
The ISIS threat was known to the Obama administration well over a year ago, and yet, on September 3rd Obama admitted "We don't have a strategy yet." And on the heels of this admission, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel stated, "... we are aware of over 100 U.S. citizens, who have U.S. passports, who are fighting with ISIL forces. There may be more. We don't know."
Last year, Moyer Abu Salha, a twenty-two year old American citizen from Florida, went to Syria for terror training. He subsequently returned to the U.S. for a visit, before he went back to Syria and conducted a suicide-bombing for al-Nusra in May 2014.
Abdirahmann Muhumed, a 29 year old Somali-American, worked for Delta Airlines before he left the U.S. to fight for al-Shabab, with 39 others, and was killed on the battlefield, just as Troy Kastigar, a close friend of Douglas McArthur McCain, was killed in 2009 after joining al-Shabab in Somalia. McCain was killed in Syria weeks ago, fighting alongside ISIS. All three were from an area in Minneapolis, Minnesota with a large Muslim population and a mosque tied to anti-American propaganda and advocacy for Islamic supremacy.
As Muslims increasingly press for concessions to Islamic norms in America, seeking to superimpose Sharia law doctrine over Western principles, the U.S. Congress must halt all Islamic immigration in a sensible, self-preserving measure for America. And common-sense dictates that the U.S. must also stop the ideological subversion by Saudi and the Council on American and Islamic Relations lobby groups that place spies in our military and the upper echelons of U.S. government and terror recruiters in our prisons, as they bribe our State Dept. officials and national security advisors; close your eyes and CIA Chief John Brennan sounds like a Saudi Muslim.
Recently, many Americans were appalled and angered to hear the British islamofascist Anjem Choudary tell FoxNews host Sean Hannity, "get ready _ America will be under Sharia law." Choudary is suspected of recruiting scores of British Muslims to fight for ISIS.
Representative Michele Bachmann (R-MN) recently queried the FBI about American citizens fighting for ISIS and other terror groups. She asked, "Once they're done fighting ... what's going to happen if they try to return?" The FBI replied, "Well, they'll come into the country." Bachmann continued, "Are you kidding me? We are not going to stop them from coming into the United States?" [Blog Editor: Bachmann-Beck interview]
Even though Findlaw.com and Senator Jim Rubens (R-NH) hold that "Natural born U.S. citizens may not have their citizenship revoked against their will" [Blog Editor: Rubens’ assertion], hasn't one willingly abandoned their U.S. citizenship when they take up arms for an enemy of the U.S.?

One must certainly agree with Rep Bachmann, who made the following statement regarding her proposed legislation: "ISIS has declared the United States as their enemy. Once you join an enemy army ... you should, by definition, lose your American citizenship, therefore your passport. You should have no ability to get back into the United States."
But what about Obama's open door policy? Isn't this a severe national security breach and an impeachable offense?
According to Judicial Watch, intelligence officials believe a terrorist attack by ISIS and Al Qaeda, along the border between Juarez, Mexico and El Paso, Texas, is so imminent [Blog Editor: JW link] that Command Maj. Gen. Sean McFarland is being briefed at Ft Bliss. The DHS, Justice and Defense Dept. agencies have been placed on alert concerning this imminent threat and the mention of "car bombs and vehicle born improvised explosive devices." [Blog Editor: NRO confirms]
What happens if the Islamic State acquires biological, chemical or nuclear weapon grade material?
Obama's September 3rd message did not instill any further confidence that Obama and company would really do all that they could to ensure America's national security, as Obama stated: "The primary U.S. objective is to degrade and destroy ISIS so that it's no longer a threat not just to Iraq but also the region and to the United States." This from the president whose policies created this crisis, who helped fund and arm ISIS from the beginning and who now says he will "shrink" ISIS "to the point where it is a manageable problem." [Blog Editor: HERE, HERE & HERE]
Senator Roy Blunt (R-MO) angrily retorted, "Terrorists who behead Americans are not 'manageable'. They must be stopped, and we need President Obama to communicate a clear strategy ... on how he plans to eliminate this threat." [Blog Editor: Blunt retort]
The American people's determination to defeat this new terror threat from ISIS and terror in general from the Islamofascists everywhere should not be underestimated. Americans remember the more than 3000 dead or missing and countless more lives devastated, as pregnant widows were left behind and two thousand children lost a parent on 9/11. Americans recall the images of our Ambassador Chris Stevens being dragged through the streets of Benghazi. Our leaders must resolve that we will not wait until there is another 9/11 before we destroy the Islamic State murderers and scatter their ashes before us.
