The Patriot Post® · The Real Extremists Biden Ignores

On Saturday, a British Islamist terrorist, Malik Faisal Akram, entered the Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville, Texas, and took four hostages. Akram demanded the release of convicted al-Qa'ida-connected terrorist Aafia Siddiqui. Akram’s assault prompted UK authorities to arrest two young Islamists associated with Akram.

Hours after the siege began, an FBI team raided the building and shot Akram dead.

Prior to killing Akram, Special Agent in Charge Matt DeSarno absurdly claimed that Akram’s motivation was “not specifically related to the Jewish community.” There was no apparent basis for that assertion. After Akram was killed, the FBI issued this statement: “This is a terrorism-related matter, in which the Jewish community was targeted, and is being investigated by the Joint Terrorism Task Force.”

Why the disparity?

First, because the Demos are constantly covering for Islamists, especially for their most prominent Party Jew hater, Rep. Ilhan Abdullahi Omar (D-MN).

To that end, recall that Joe Biden’s immediately and libelously declared that Kyle Rittenhouse was a “white supremacist” ahead of his being cleared of all charges for defending himself against Demo thugs. However, Biden refused to speculate about Akram’s motives.

Clearly, before Akram was identified, Biden’s cadre of deep-staters still in the FBI command pipeline were holding out hope that the assailant could be a poster boy for Biden’s fabricated claim that our nation is inundated with “right-wing extremists” who pose the greatest domestic threat to “democracy.” That was Biden’s post-J6 Capitol protest narrative in support of Nancy Pelosi’s political Insurrection™ inquisition.

Recall that last week after the Demos’ J6 anniversary celebrations, Biden announced the formation of a “new” DoJ “domestic terrorism unit” that will be the tip of his fake “Trump extremists” spear, despite the fact that investigating domestic terrorism has been the FBI’s job since the 1960s. That is a job the FBI has done well, with the notable exception of the 9/11 Islamist attack, which should have been detected if not for Bill Clinton’s domestic terrorism “priorities.”

For the record, among the hate-hustler strategies Democrats perfected under the Clinton regime, was using the blood of innocents as political fodder to foment racial and ethnic division and promote their political agenda. This is immediately apparent every time there is an assault motivated by race or religion — excluding, of course, Islamist attacks.

In a nation of 330 million people, there will be some number of assaults that fit the domestic terrorism profile every year.

While those assaults deserve national condemnation, the number of victims involved amount to a split fraction of the annual number of murder victims on Demo urban poverty plantations — notably, the grossly disproportionate number of both murders and interracial murders by black assailants which are not classified as “hate crimes.”

Highly regarded crime researcher Heather Mac Donald, who has documented both the frequency and circumstances of police involved shootings and the Left’s deadly blame-shifting game, has also documented the interracial crime disparity between white and black people. According to FBI statistics regarding interracial crime, black people committed 90% of interracial felonies despite representing just 13% of our population – and black adult males who committed most of those crimes represent less than 3% of the population. She also determined that in cases where the victim’s race was known, in 88% of murdered black people, the suspect is also black.

Ironically and arguably, it’s Democrat Party policies that are responsible for real systemic racism today, as opposed to the so-called “systemic racism” lies leftists are endlessly peddling. These policies have devastated urban centers, but are backed and funded by suburban “White Privilege” Democrats.

Moreover, the recent surge in violence is the direct result of urban Demo politicians and their political charade to “defund the police.”

That notwithstanding, I would argue that ALL murders are “hate crimes,” not just those the Democrats and their Leftmedia platforms elevate to national outrage.

(Update: Even Akram’s family is now demanding to know why, given his long criminal record, he was allowed to enter the U.S.)

FOOTNOTE regarding so-called “mass shootings” and “gun violence”: For the record, mass murders are very rare in our nation of 330 million people. There were approximately 25,000 homicides in the U.S. in the latest year of record, which you can view state by state, and fortunately there are indications that homicides may be declining after the surge in violence unleashed by Democrats in 2020.

They ubiquitously and falsely label the murderous contagion they seeded “gun violence” and focus exclusively on the rare high-profile “mass shootings,” which account for only a tiny fraction of all homicides. More than 99% of murders in the U.S. are not the result of mass attacks. Of course, guns don’t commit violence, thugs and sociopaths commit violence.

In a country and culture that ignores the rising generation of sociopathic murderers – countless thugs in violent urban centers who are completely saturated with violence to the point of glorifying it, it is fortunate that the incidence of mass murder is not ten times higher. Arguably, the only thing keeping that number down is that about 40% of households – 125 million Americans – are legal and responsible gun owners.

The oft-cited Gun Violence Archive defines a “mass shooting” as any incident that involves a “minimum of four victims shot, either injured or killed.” But the vast majority of those violent attacks are the result of drug and gang violence committed on Democrat-controlled urban centers.

Democrats are very deliberate about only focusing on the infrequent high profile attacks because they can’t escape responsibility for the vast majority of murders on their degraded urban poverty plantations. They want to avoid at all cost, the “inconvenient truth” about race and violence, which is the direct result of failed Democrat social programs.

Those murders aren’t useful for the Democrats’ gun control narrative they invoke evoke emotional reaction from mostly wealthy white suburban women, whom form the Demos’ largest constituency.

As for actual mass murders as detailed in the FBI’s data on “active shooter incidents” – which it defines as “one or more individuals actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a populated area” – in 2022, the FBI reported 50 incidents resulting in 313 casualties (100 killed and 213 wounded). In 2021 the FBI reported 61 incidents resulting in 243 casualties (103 killed and 140 wounded). In 2020, the FBI reported 40 incidents resulting in 164 casualties (38 killed and 126 wounded).

A more relevant record of mass murder data is maintained by the Associated Press and Northeastern University, which uses the Department of Justice definition of mass public shooting: “A multiple homicide incident in which four or more victims are murdered with firearms.” These numbers fluctuate significantly year over year, and range between 20 and 40 incidents.

FOOTNOTE 2: Firearms used for suicide represents 54% of all deaths involving firearms, most also involving drugs or alcohol abuse. The Left’s support for assisted suicide is in conflict with their support for gun control.

FOOTNOTE 3: Crime researcher John Lott reports, “[The Democrats’] ‘guns first’ approach ignores a basic fact — over 92% of violent crimes in America do not involve firearms.”

FOOTNOTE 4: Before we ban guns, let’s ban alcohol, which is far more deadly than guns. According to the latest CDC data, 140,000 people died from alcohol-related causes last year – more than five times the number homicides. Drunk drivers are responsible for 28 deaths per day. And notably, it is estimated that alcohol is also a key factor in at least 30% of homicides involving firearms. (Include illegal drugs and that number jumps to about 60%.) If Democrats are serious about homicides, they should outlaw alcohol. Problem is, the vast majority of alcohol users possess and use it legally and responsibly. Likewise, the vast majority of firearm owners possess and use them legally and responsibly. Enacting a prohibition on firearms is tantamount to enacting a prohibition on alcohol. In both cases, only law-abiding users are penalized while outlaws don’t obey laws.
