There's no mystery as to why

The attempts at narrative spin, at categorizing this, for purposes of statistical analysis, in ways (such as gun violence, workplace violence, inflammatory rhetoric's impact on society) as something other than a manifestation of metastasizing radical Islam, are falling flat, are they not?

Here we have a young man described as a devout Muslim by relatives and co-workers, who gave no indication that he was radicalized, but who went to Saudi Arabia - apparently for the Hajj - and came back with a bride and a baby.

We have the trappings of the post-modern setting - intimidation to the point of silencing of the cattle-masses by the identity-politics jackboots -  for such an occurrence: the neighbor who had seen "a half-dozen Middle Eastern men in the area in recent weeks, but decided not to report anything since he did not wish to racially profile those people."

We have the indications in the post-American media of just how secular, how disdainful of the Christian faith that is the nation's - and the West's - foundation conventional perspective has become, and how crass the politicization has become:


On Thursday, both CBS This Morning and NBC’s Today eagerly promoted the New York Daily News attacking Republicans for sending “thoughts and prayers” to victims of the San Bernardino shooting but not signing on to liberal gun control measures. This Morning co-host Gayle King declared: “I think this headline’s very powerful.” She then touted Democratic Senator Chris Murphy blasting his pro-gun colleagues: “Chris Murphy from Connecticut says, ‘Your thoughts should be about steps to take to stop this carnage. Your prayers should be about forgiveness if you do nothing again.’” 
Offering commentary at the end of the morning show, fellow co-host Charlie Rose again cited the Daily News cover: “Everybody is, I think, frustrated. Everybody’s asking why, and everybody’s asking, what can we do? But we have to do something. As the New York Daily News said, ‘God is not going to fix it. We have to fix it.’” On Today, correspondent Andrea Mitchell discussed the “politics of mass shootings,” and noted: “Republicans opposed to new gun laws offered prayers and praise for police.” She was aghast that, “Only hours after the shooting, Ted Cruz even invited supporters to a Second Amendment event at an Iowa shooting range, tomorrow.” Turning to the Daily News headline, Mitchell proclaimed: “All the talk of prayer prompted an angry tabloid headline in today’s New York Daily News, ‘God Isn't Fixing This.’” She then used it to boost Democrats: “Frustration echoed by Hillary Clinton, who has made gun control a central campaign issue. Tweeting, ‘I refuse to accept this as normal. We must take action to stop gun violence now.’ Now even voiced by a gun supporter, Bernie Sanders.”
We have the perp's brother-in-law speaking in the immediate aftermath at a CAIR rally. Yes, that CAIR, the one eyeball-deep in ties to terror:

Writes Islam scholar Stephen Schwartz: “CAIR should be considered a foreign-based subversive organization, comparable in the Islamist field to the Soviet-controlled Communist Party USA, and the Cuban-controlled front groups that infiltrated ‘Latin American solidarity’ organizations in the U.S. during the 1980s. It has organized numerous community branches and has had immense success in gaining position as an ‘official’ representative of Islam in the U.S.”

Notable facts about CAIR's pas de deux with Islamic extremism and terrorism include the following:
  • Co-founder Nihad Awad asserted at a 1994 meeting at Barry University, "I am a supporter of the Hamas movement." Awad wrote in the Muslim World Monitor that the 1994 trial which had resulted in the conviction of four Islamic fundamentalist terrorists who had perpetrated the previous year's World Trade Center bombing was "a travesty of justice."
  • On February 2, 1995, U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White named CAIR Advisory Board member and New York imam Siraj Wahhaj as one of the "unindicted persons who may be alleged as co-conspirators" in Islamic Group leader Omar Abdel Rahman's foiled plot to blow up numerous New York City monuments.
  • On June 6, 2006, CAIR's Ohio affiliate held a large fundraiser in honor of Siraj Wahhaj. Following the event, CAIR-Ohio issued a press release heralding the more than $100,000 that Wahhaj had helped raise that evening for the organization’s “civil liberties work.”
  • In October 1998, CAIR demanded the removal of a Los Angeles billboard describing Osama bin Laden as "the sworn enemy." According to CAIR, this depiction was "offensive to Muslims."
  • In 1998, CAIR denied bin Laden's responsibility for the two al Qaeda bombings of American embassies in Africa. According to Ibrahim Hooper, the bombings resulted from "misunderstandings of both sides."
  • In September 2003, CAIR's former Community Affairs Director, Bassem Khafagi, pled guilty to three federal counts of bank and visa fraud and agreed to be deported to Egypt. Federal investigators said that a group Khafagi founded, the Islamic Assembly of North America, had funneled money to activities supporting terrorism and had published material advocating suicide attacks against the United States. Khafagi’s illegal activities took place while he was employed by CAIR.
  • In July 2004, Ghassan Elashi, a founding Board member of CAIR's Texas chapter, was convicted along with his four brothers of having illegally shipped computers from their Dallas-area business, InfoCom Corporation, to Libya and Syria, two designated state sponsors of terrorism. That same month, Elashi was charged with having provided more than $12.4 million to Hamas while he was running HLF. In April 2005, Elashi and two of his brothers were also convicted of knowingly doing business with Hamas operative Mousa Abu Marzook, who was Elashi's brother-in-law. Elashi's illegal activities took place while he was employed by CAIR, whose Dallas-Fort Worth chapter depicted the Elashis’ indictment as “a war on Islam and Muslims.”
  • On September 6, 2001, the day that federal agents first raided Infocom’s headquarters, CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad denounced the U.S. government for “tak[ing] us back to the McCarthy era.” 
  • FBI wiretap evidence which was introduced during the 2007 trial of the Holy Land Foundation (a trial that explored HLF's financial ties to Hamas), proved that Nihad Awad had attended a 1993 Philadelphia meeting of Hamas leaders and operatives who collaborated on a plan to disguise funding for Hamas as charitable donations.
  • CAIR co-founder and Chairman Emeritus Omar Ahmad was named, in the same 2007 Holy Land Foundation trial, as an unindicted co-conspirator with HLF. During the trial, evidence was supplied proving that Ahmad had attended, along with Nihad Awad, the aforementioned 1993 Philadelphia meeting of Hamas leaders and operatives. Moreover, prosecutors described Ahmad as a member of the Muslim Brotherhood's "Palestine Committee" in America.
  • The home of Muthanna al-Hanooti, one of CAIR's directors, was raided in 2006 by FBI agents in connection with an active terrorism investigation. FBI agents also searched the offices of Focus on Advocacy and Advancement of International Relations, al-Hanooti's Michigan- and Washington DC-based consulting firm that investigators suspect to be a front supporting the Sunni-led insurgency in Iraq.

    Al-Hanooti is an ethnic Palestinian who, according to a 2001 FBI report, "collected over $6 million for support of Hamas" and attended, along with CAIR and Holy Land Foundation officials, the previously cited Hamas fundraising summit in Philadelphia in 1993. Currently a prayer leader at a Washington-area mosque that aided some of the 9/11 hijackers, he is a relative of Shiek Mohammed al-Hanooti, an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Muthanna al-Hanooti formerly helped run an organization called LIFE for Relief and Development, a suspected Hamas terror front whose Michigan offices were raided by the FBI in September 2006, and whose Baghdad office was raided by U.S. troops in 2004.

    In March 2011, al-Hanooti was sentenced to a year in federal prison for violating U.S. sanctions against Iraq. According to the FBI, al-Hanooti also raised more than $6 million for support of Hamas and was present with CAIR and Holy Land Foundation officials at a secret Hamas fundraising summit held in Philadelphia during the 1990s.
  • Randall Todd Royer, who served as a communications specialist and civil rights coordinator for CAIR, trained with Lashkar-I-Taiba, an al Qaeda-tied Kashmir organization that is listed on the State Department's international terror list. He was also indicted on charges of conspiring to help al Qaeda and the Taliban battle American troops in Afghanistan. He later pled guilty to lesser firearm-related charges and was sentenced to twenty years in prison.  Royer's illegal activities took place while he was employed by CAIR.
  • Onetime CAIR fundraiser Rabih Haddad was arrested on terrorism-related charges and was deported from the United States due to his subsequent work as Executive Director of the Global Relief Foundation, which in October 2002 was designated by the U.S. Treasury Department for financing al Qaeda and other terrorist organizations.  
And, finally, we have the Most Equal Comrade - who has damn well known about Farook's radicalization since early on - once again deliberately serving as the embodiment of the obfuscation, the spin, the hemming and hawing by which the jackboots actively seeking to destroy this nation try to disguise their agenda.

“It is possible that this is terrorist-related, but we don’t know; it is also possible this was workplace-related,” Obama said, adding, “we don’t know why they did it.”
Obama added that it was important to understand the “nature of the workplace relationship” between the individuals to fully understand the attacks, raising the possibility that it could be “mixed motives” for the attacks. 

It's obvious to all - much like the unworkability of socialist health care, of the fact that the global climate is not in any kind of trouble, of the fact that gender is not fluid - that jihad is happening in post-America and has been for years.

But it will happen some more, because the overlords have made sure that willful inertia is not only the policy, but the prevailing sentiment.
