Of course they do. Authorities are aware that they’re out there, but they’re hamstrung in their ability to track their activities by the politically correct willful ignorance about their motives and goals, imposed by the Obama Administration in October 2011 — as I explain at length in my book Arab Winter Comes to America. And so there is one certainty: there will be more jihad attacks like the one at the Boston Marathon, while FBI agents are busy engaging in “outreach” with jihad terror-tied mosques.
“More Boston bomber types lurk, officials warn,” by Kelly Riddell for The Washington Times, April 14:
The Boston Marathon bombings last year put a new face on terrorism: that of young, U.S.-raised misfits in search of a cause for which they can kill and die thousands of miles away from hotbeds of Islamic radicalism.
Feeling disenfranchised and alone, these youths often seek community online, placing themselves into a guerrilla’s mindset by consuming information on specific movements and gradually becoming self-radicalized, counterterrorism researchers say. Al Qaeda, becoming increasingly diffuse and decentralized, tries to help these individuals in their process through online magazines such as Inspire and jihadist postings on YouTube.
“Al Qaeda still exists, but its ability to reach into the U.S. is very limited — mainly because of the job law enforcement has done,” said Christopher Swift, an adjunct professor of national security studies at Georgetown University. “On the Internet, [al Qaeda’s] looking for someone who is isolated, atomized — that they can indoctrinate but don’t have to take responsibility for — someone [to] whom they can push out the ideological source code and have act in their name. We’re going to see this ‘lone wolf’ model proliferate.”
Law enforcement officers have taken note.
“We have to have a recognition — and we do — that terrorists are more agile, they’re not restricted by nation-states and borders, they can flow information in and out of different areas of the world at will,” said Michael Steinbach, deputy assistant director of the FBI’s counterterrorism division. “No longer does somebody in country X need to travel to a terrorist hotbed to get trained and get their orders. You can really do everything that needs to be done without leaving your home, let alone the United States.”…
Tamerlan Tsarnaev, one of the two brothers accused of the Boston Marathon bombings, seemed to have become radicalized in 2011 while he was living in a suburb of the city, according to a congressional report released in March.
By all accounts, Tsarnaev was a volatile young man, accused of domestic violence against a girlfriend, and was thrown out of his local mosque several times for getting into shouting matches with preachers because they encouraged worshippers to celebrate American holidays, according to the report.
When law enforcement personnel searched Tsarnaev’s computer, they found a YouTube account with various Russian-language videos on Islam and playlists of jihadist instructions. One 13-minute video, titled “The Emergence of Prophecy: The Black Flags of Khorasan,” detailed a jihadist prophecy that at the end of the world a holy army would rise out of the region historically associated with Afghanistan and sweep across the Middle East to Jerusalem, according to the congressional report.
Tsarnaev was killed in a shootout with police in a Boston suburb days after the bombings.
Briefly raised in the Russian republic of Dagestan, an epicenter of Islamic insurgency, Tamerlan Tsarnaev and his younger brother, Dzhokhar, seemingly had no specific investment in their former homeland’s battles, Mr. Swift said, but they were inspired and ideologically driven by al Qaeda’s call for global jihad via the Internet.
“If you look at the Tsarnaev brothers, they hadn’t been to Chechnya since they were kids — this wasn’t about what Russia’s done to Chechnya and the suffering of the Chechnyan people,” said Mr. Swift. “These individuals already had some other issue, and then went online and glommed onto this understanding of the world. The Internet gives people who are already vulnerable [to jihad] a pathway and a recipe to follow.”
Swift is wrong. Tamerlan was in that region as an adult, trying to join “underground groups” because of his commitment to “radical Islam” — as the Russians told the FBI.
Not all background information has been released on Dzhokhar Tsarnaev as he awaits trial on multiple federal charges, including the denotation of two improvised explosive devices — built with pressure cookers and packed with shrapnel — that exploded near the end of the finish line of the Boston Marathon last year….

In Saudi Arabia when someone plants a bomb and is caught they do not put them on the cover of Rolling Stone.
They do not hem and haw and delay for over a year when they are certain of guilt.
It has been a year.
Why?
mortimer says
“More Boston bomber types lurk” … no kidding?
I’ve met a number of them…I have got them talking about their Islamic rage. They are nice, respectable people, ordinary, average people and scum. From all levels of society. What they share in common is the love of jihad. When the jihadists attack at your local shopping market, the train or a sports event, you will see them helping the jihadists, handing them ammo, driving the get-away care and then hiding them from the law enforcement officers. When the jihadists are apprehended, NO ONE in the Muslim community will know anything about them! “We never suspected this! We are shocked.”
mortimer says
CAIR will hide them, fund them, and then run interference for them, pay for their lawyers and call everyone who learns any facts about them ‘Islamophobic’.
Jay Boo says
It is not just CAIR running interference it is also tax-payer funded NPR traitors.
It is time to write up an EXPOSE on NPR staff members.
Where they went to school and who they associate with and where they socialize at in order to understand better their twisted mindset.

When I hear the word Islamophobia a classic neologism, my answer is there is very much to be phobic about. I am proud of being an Islamophobe at least when the war starts (it has catually been going on for years) I will honestly be able to say “I told you so”
Cynthia says
Mortimer, you say that you have met a number of them… and have gone as far as to having had conversations with them about their ‘Islamic rage’…question… have you reported any of them to the proper government authorities? as to your comment… your regarding them as being, nice, respectable people, ordinary, average people and scum… I truly find your ‘story’ to be highly questionable… how is it that you have managed to meet ‘so many’ of these ‘raging’ lovers of jihad?
Cynthia says
Mortimer… you state that you have met, and engaged in conversations, and your having gotten ‘them’ talking about their ‘Islamic rage’… you go on to say that they are nice, respectable people, ordinary, average people and scum… and go on to state that they are from all levels of society, and what they share in common is their ‘love of jihad’…I must say, that what you state appears to be quite curious…I also find that your having encountered ‘so many’ of these people, these ‘lovers of jihad’ to be ‘more than disconcerting’ when considering your having been friendly enough to have gained this more than important information… this… has me wondering if you have ever reported any of these ‘lovers of jihad’ to the proper government agencies?
Michael Copeland says
No, Kelly Riddell, they were not “misfits in search of a cause”: they had the cause drummed into them week after week at the “Grab on to the gun” mosque.
You reveal your own lack of “dots” to connect, like the Boston police. It was the Obama administration that withheld them from you.

Michael Copeland says
Alternatively, Mr. Riddell, it could be that you are earnestly steering your readers to the supposed “disaffected youth self-radicalised lone wolf internet surfer”. There we are. That successfully draws attention away from the “Grab on to the gun” mosque. That gun isn’t pointed at your head, is it?

Hey Jihadists, start your jihad in Hollywood.
Jay Boo says
If Jihadists were actually focused of Western decadence they would attack Hollywood.
sheik yer'mami says
Australia’s taxpayer funded disinformation channel (ABC) reported this ‘event’ without mentioning anything about Islam or Muslims.
“Bombs went off” – and that’s it.
No motive. Just “senseless violence”. These people are sick.
bill says
They feel disenfranchised (whatever that means) and alienated, because they come to live in the Western society, or their parents bring them here, but they want it to be an Islamic society. So instead of going back to a Muslim country and be happy there they decide to cause mayhem in order to frighten us into becoming Muslims, or just because it makes them feel better. If that is not a definition of insanity I do not know what is.
Michael Copeland says
All muslims are commanded by the Koran, which is part of Islamic law, to spread Islam “by persuasion or by force” (Ibn Khaldun). The “Migration Jihad” is part of that spread. The purpose is to spread Islam on their unconverted host, by force if necessary. “Does Islam, or does it not, force people by the power of the sword to submit? Yes!”, wrote Osama bin Laden.
Jay Boo says
Lack of swift justice and (Rolling Stone & Huff Post) PC smokescreens guarantee that Imams will feel no shame at their refusal to accept Islam’s blame.

How many islam0nazis are now wearing the badges of law enforcement? How many of them are conspiring to facilitate islam0nazi terrorism as opposed to resisting it?
dumbledoresarmy says
To repeat.
The Ummah, or Mohammedan Mob, the Allah Gang, the transnational de facto Empire of Islam, is the sheltering and nurturing sea within which the jihad terror raiders swim and from which, ceaselessly, they emerge.
Got Muslims? Got Jihad.
If NO Muslims – including Chechen Muslims spinning sob stories about how they were being persecuted by the Evil Russians – had ever been admitted into the USA, the Boston Bombing, and 9/11, and any number of other attacks that were plotted but, fortunately, foiled, or else were attempted (the Times Square bombing) and fortunately failed, could not and would have happened.
And if all identifiable Muslims currently present – say, all Muslims currently attending or associated with mosques – in any given majority-Muslim country in the world were permanently evicted from that country, that country’s chances of sustaining a major jihad attack on home ground would be substantially, though not totally, reduced.
dumbledoresarmy says
Correction.
That is, “could not and would not have happened”. I accidentally omitted a “not”.
Michelle Therese says
“Feeling disenfranchised and alone, these youths often seek community online,”
Notice how the media plays the pity-fiddle? Somehow *we* are at fault because these poor disenfranchised and lonely youths (we must be racist and therefore we don’t like them!) aimlessly wander into the bad crowds. Oh, boo hoo, the poor dears! And after they blow X number of innocent people to bloody pulp they continue being lonely and unloved in isolation in prison… and if only we had loved them and accepted them and, and, and…
Yeah. Right. As if these “youths” are not already “radicalized” by the time they are old enough to surf the Internet, and they hate us and want nothing to do with us and they isolate themselves from “unbelievers” and move freely in jihadist circles at home and abroad while they plot and plan against us to conquer us and our lands.
