Opinion in Brief

Gary Bauer: “Two weeks ago, the Islamic State threatened a terrorist attack against New York City. ISIS supporters posted a picture of Times Square with the caption, ‘We meet at Christmas in New York … soon.’ Yesterday, Akayed Ullah, a 27-year-old wannabe suicide bomber, attempted to make good on that threat. … This bombing comes just six weeks after Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov murdered eight people in New York City with a rented truck. Saipov was in the country thanks to the ‘diversity visa lottery.’ Let me repeat: The worst thing that can happen today is if they Mirandize this jihadist and tell him he has a right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. … Speaking of enemies, the Investigative Project on Terrorism reports that Sheikh Ramadan Elsabagh did not react well to President Trump’s formal recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. The imam posted a prayer Thursday on his Facebook page calling on Allah to ‘destroy the Zionists and their allies.’ What makes Imam Elsabagh’s prayer particularly noteworthy is that his mosque is not in Gaza but in Garland, Texas. California. South Carolina. Tennessee. Texas. How many radical imams are preaching such hatred in America? How many more Saipovs and Ullahs must we endure?”
