In the featured article at FrontPage this morning I discuss the Times Square attack:
Like the Fort Hood jihad massacre and virtually all such attacks and attempted attacks these days, the car bomb discovered in Times Square Saturday was initially dismissed as having nothing to do with terrorism. The New York Times reported: "A federal official said it was not considered a terrorist threat and that the New York Police Department had told the Department of Homeland Security to stand down."Soon, however, the weight of evidence became too great for officials to sustain this wishful thinking. New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said: "I think the intent was to cause a significant ball of fire."' New York Governor David Paterson declared the incident an "act of terrorism." Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano revealed on Meet the Press that the car bomb was being treated as a "potential terrorist attack."
Napolitano offered no hint as to which terrorists might have done it: "It's too soon to tell who was responsible." New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg was just as puzzled: "We have no idea who did this or why."
Yet for all this official agnosticism, there were a number of clues - and even a group claiming credit. The explosives-laden car was found on 45th Street between 7th and 8th - not far from the offices of Viacom, which owns Comedy Central. Comedy Central, of course, presents South Park, the irreverent cartoon series that recently lampooned Islam's prophet Muhammad. After the show aired, the jihadist website RevolutionMuslim.com posted this threat against the creators of South Park, Matt Stone and Trey Parker: "We have to warn Matt and Trey that what they are doing is stupid and they will probably wind up like Theo Van Gogh for airing this show. This is not a threat, but a warning of the reality of what will likely happen to them."
Theo Van Gogh was brutally murdered by a Muslim on an Amsterdam street in the middle of the day in November 2004 after he made a film, Submission, about the oppression of Muslim women. Younus Abullah Muhammad of RevolutionMuslim.com told journalist Aaron Klein Sunday that the car bomb was "a retaliation for what your government is doing overseas. If you want to continue killing civilians, then you're going to get many incidents that resemble what happened yesterday." Not that RevolutionMuslim.com was claiming responsibility: "We do not condone nor condemn terrorism. There is no relation between our organization and these attacks." However, "there will be a lot more terror attacks in the United States."
Younus Abullah Muhammad's denial of responsibility notwithstanding, have authorities questioned the owners of RevolutionMuslim.com about this attempt to explode a car bomb outside Viacom's offices?...

There can be no doubt that the Obama White House will continue to avoid at all costs the use of the "t" word or the "m" word when it comes to terrorist attacks carried out by good muslims. They hold back calling terrorism what it is until they can hear people giggling at their stupidity.
For one thing it's bad press for islam and Obama is in love with islam. For the other it's bad press for Obama, the man who, after his speech in Cairo, ended all conflict tweenst islam and the free world.
The fact that this amateurish attempt was nearly successful makes clear that a trained group such as carried out the first attack on the WTC or the 9/11 scumbags would probably find this type of attack to be an easy task.
The morons threw non-explosive fertilizer in to the mix. Manure perhaps? Appropriate.
Someday the threat will become clear again in the mind of the American people.
It's too bad that that clarity of mind will be preceded by a successful attack or perhaps a series of them.
When slapped hard enough and often enough, even the most sports absorbed, beer soaked of our citizenry will see the threat.
islam is a lie and
Truth is killing it.
