The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) asserts that “Islamophobia” is the biggest obstacle to those relations. I beg to differ. I am sure that murdering American men, women and children, and other innocents around the world, is the biggest obstacle.

Below, I provide a partial listing of attacks against Americans and American targets. However, worldwide number of murders in the name of Islam are now estimated to be more than 300,000 since Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton organized the 2011 political retreat from Iraq, which predictably, left a power vacuum in the Middle East, filled by the Islamic State.

The list of attacks against global targets would fill a book. These attacks were all committed by a global network of Islamofascist groups and individuals under the banner, “Allahu Akbar.”** Combined, they form what we long ago coined “Jihadistan,” a borderless nation of Islamist jihadis with global reach who have their collective sights set on Americans at home and abroad.

For the record, all Islamist terror attacks in the West have been perpetrated by a global network of Islamofascist groups and individuals under the banner, “Allahu Akbar.” These include the al-Qa'ida network (the perpetrators of the 9/11 attack), and their contemporary manifestations, ISIL and the Islamic State. Point of clarification: “Allahu Akbar” translates “Allah is the Greatest.” The Demo/MSM propaganda machine often reports the translation as something quiet different: “god is great.” As properly translated, Allahu Akbar claims only the god of Islam is great, and has been the violent warring cry of jihadi terrorists for generations, in their centuries-long effort to conquer infidels and establish a worldwide caliphate. Under those words, countless victims of Islamic supremacists – men, women and children – have been slaughtered. As such, it perilously dangerous to erroneously refer to contemporary Islamic terrorists in the West as “lone wolves,” because they are connected to worldwide jihad by way of the Qur'an, the foundational fabric linking all Islamist violence.

Describing their attacks as “criminal activity” or “workplace violence,” as the Obama administration classified the Ft. Hood murders, is asinine.

Fact is, American Islamists, such as Louis Farrakhan, Anwar al-Awlaki, Sheikh Ibrahim and other self-appointed clerics, have galvanized their following by preaching hatred for America. And other American Muslin leaders, who would like to be perceived as legitimate representatives of Islam, offer little condemnation of Islamic violence. Their silence is deafening.

Regarding that “deafening silence,” we harken back to a time when our understanding and resolve against this global adversary was clear. In the inimitable words of President Bush the week of 9/11: “Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists.”

Meanwhile, Islamist terror groups are thriving and the threat of catastrophic attack against the American homeland, is on the rise, and now, a clear and present threat.

All of these attacks listed below were perpetrated by male Islamists between the ages 18 and 40, but, according to Barack Obama, using that profile for targeted law enforcement investigations or at domestic security checkpoints, is unacceptable because it constitutes “ethnic profiling.” Make no mistake, Jihadi’s are profiling American targets. Shouldn’t we profile them?

To ensure that Americans never offend the sensibilities of anti-Americans – particularly Islamic fanatics intent on killing us – the liberals have established policies and rulings against “profiling,” evaluating people in public places or security checkpoints on the basis of a variety known factors associated with terrorists. Since 9/11, airport security screeners with the behemoth Transportation Security Administration perform full body searches and scans on infants, disabled vets, 80-year-old grandmothers, active duty military personnel and other U.S. citizens with proper identification and no threat characteristics.

However, this writer has walked perimeter gun public security details for two presidents and other dignitaries, and I can assure you that in those venues, profiling is the primary real-time method for identifying threats. My Secret Service, CIA, FBI and military colleagues in supervisory roles with presidential and other high-profile security details, in addition to friend with DHS/TSA, tell me that they rely on profiling as the last line of defense in public venues. This is the same method of profiling that the TSA should be using for anyone approaching an airport or other security checkpoint.

The most targeted public transportation and airline network in the world, those in Israel, rely almost completely on profiling as their front and final lines of defense – and with great success.

Let’s pause a moment and review a few representative samples of terrorism committed by adherents of the “religion of peace” against primarily civilian targets, to determine if profiling would be helpful. The suggestion of suspects other than “Islamist male(s) between the ages of 18 and 40 who fit the well established profile of a Muslim terrorist” is intended to demonstrate the absurdity of NOT profiling terrorists:

Since Obama’s political retreat from Iraq which, predictably, left a power vacuum in the Middle East which has been filled by the Islamic State, the UN estimates more than 300,000 men, women and children have been murdered by Islamic terrorists worldwide.

Currently, the FBI reports that there are major terrorist cells in U.S. urban centers and there are more than 1000 active investigations in all 50 states.

Former President George Bush understood, “America is at war with Islamic fascists who will use any means to destroy those of us who love freedom, to hurt our nation.” The Council on American-Islamic Relations issued an immediate objection to the Bush’s reference to “Islamic fascists”. Nihad Awad, executive director of CAIR protested, “We have to isolate these individuals because there is nothing in the Koran or the Islamic faith that encourages people to be cruel or to be vicious or to be criminal. Muslims world wide know that for sure.”

In light of this objection, we are left to ponder why every Islamic leader in the U.S., and the world, does not publicly condemn every terror action being undertaken in the name of the god of Islam. Their silence is deafening…

Between 1965 and the present, there were more than 250 other notable examples of terrorism perpetrated by male Islamists between the ages 17 and 40, but we think you get the point. Singling out “male Islamists between the ages 17 and 40” is not “ethnic profiling,” it’s “terrorist profiling” – acting on prolific evidence.

Anyone for Terrorist Profiling? You know their profile and they are certainly profiling us!

Astoundingly, there are now open Islamist sympathizers in Congress, including Ilhan Abdullahi Omar (D-MN).

**For the record, “Allahu Akbar” translates “Allah is the Greatest.” The DemoMSM often report the translation as something quiet different, “God is great.” As properly translated, Allahu Akbar has been the waring cry of jihadi terrorists for generations in their centuries-long effort to conquer infidels and establish a worldwide caliphate.
