In FrontPage today I discuss how the President seems intent on creating the circumstances for a Paris-style jihad attack on U.S. soil.
Despite what he termed the “setback” of last Friday’s jihad massacre in Paris, Barack Obama announced Monday that he was pressing forward with his scheme to flood the U.S. with at least 10,000 refugees from Syria, terming opposition to his plan “shameful.” Obama seems intent on recreating in the U.S. the circumstances that led to the jihad attacks in Paris – which were perpetrated by at least two “refugees” who had just recently arrived in Europe.
“We have to, each of us, do our part, and the United States has to step up and do its part,” Obama said. He didn’t explain why Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar don’t have to do their part, and have taken no refugees at all, citing the risk of terrorism. Repeat that concern in the U.S., as have the Governors of Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Massachusetts, and Texas, and you’ll be charged with “racism,” “bigotry” and “Islamophobia.”
Obama was ready with his own charges: “When I hear folks say that, well, maybe we should just admit the Christians but not the Muslims. When I hear political leaders suggesting that there would be a religious test for which person who’s fleeing from a war-torn country is admitted. When some of those folks themselves come from families who benefitted from protection when they were fleeing political persecution — That’s shameful. That’s not American. That’s not who we are. We don’t have religious tests to our compassion.”
Indeed. But there were other issues that did not involve “religious tests to our compassion.” President’s statement neatly ignored the uncomfortable fact that Christians are not waging jihad around the world. It was not a Christian terrorist group, but a Muslim one, that boasted last February that it would soon inundate Europe with 500,000 refugees. The Lebanese Education Minister recently warned that there were 20,000 Islamic jihadi terrorists, not Christian “extremists,” among the refugees in camps in his country. It was not a “right-wing” Christian, but an Islamic State operative who boasted in September, shortly after the migrant influx began, that among the flood of refugees, 4,000 terrorists had already entered Europe.
Obama has never acknowledged any of those facts. Robert Bentley, the Governor of Alabama, was more realistic, explaining that he did not want any of the refugees in Alabama because “I will not stand complicit to a policy that places the citizens of Alabama in harm’s way.” The Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, noted that “a Syrian ‘refugee’ appears to have been part of the Paris terror attack. American humanitarian compassion could be exploited to expose Americans to similar deadly danger.” Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson stated that taking Syrian refugees at this time “is not the right strategy.” Even the Governor of Massachusetts, Charlie Baker, came out against Obama’s plan: “No, I’m not interested in accepting refugees from Syria,” he said. “My view on this is the safety and security of the people of the Commonwealth of Mass. is my highest priority. So I would set the bar very high on this.”
Obama brushed all such concerns aside: “The people who are fleeing Syria,” he asserted, “are the most harmed by terrorism…It is very important…that we do not close our hearts to these victims of such violence and somehow start equating the issue of refugees with the issue of terrorism.” He didn’t address the possibility that jihadis might be among the refugees, but deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes attempted to reassure the American people by claiming that the Obama Administration had “very extensive screening procedures” to weed out jihadis from among the refugees. Former NATO supreme commanded James Stavridis also claimed that U.S. officials would be able to vet the refugees “safely and appropriately.” He added: “We should continue to take a substantial number of Syrian refugees because it is the right thing to do for the international community and because over time they will prove to be citizens of real capability and true grit, like many who immigrated before them in troubled times. The key is serious vetting using all the tools at our disposal.”
Yet FBI director James Comey was not so sanguine about the possibility of vetting the refugees: “If we have no information on someone, they’ve never crossed our radar screen…it will be challenging,” he said – and most jihadis from Syria have not crossed the U.S. radar screen, as the U.S. has not had a military presence there comparable to that in Iraq.
What’s more, the Obama Administration’s ability to distinguish “moderates” from “extremists” has already been tested and found wanting. Former Defense Intelligence Agency director Michael Flynn recently confirmed that while it was claiming to be supporting “vetted moderates” in Syria, the Administration was actually supporting al-Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood, and directly enabled the rise of the Islamic State. This is also the Administration that spent $500 million to find and train “moderates” in Syria, and could only come up with fifty trainees – all of whom immediately melted away after being let loose in Syria.
Now the same Administration is going to vet the refugees? To entrust Obama’s team with such a task is to invite a Paris-style jihad attack in an American city, courtesy of one or more of his “vetted” refugees. It’s only a matter of time.

Jay Boo says
DISGRACE
Obama doesn’t care.
He sees the murdered children of Paris as an inconvenience to his portrayal of Muslims as victims meme.
He was more concerned about clock-boy.
ich says
agreed Jay Boo.
He makes my skin crawl.
Now in Canada we have Trudeau.
He’s gonna be worse.
Alex says
10,000 in the U.S for the next 12 months or so… but 25,000 for Canada (with only 1/10 of the population of the United States),* before this coming January*. I don’t think the American people know that. The equivalent in the US would be 250,000 new muslim refugees. Now think about it. Canada is going completely insane.
gravenimage says
I’m American, and I know of this madness in Canada.
Even more insane: Germany let in 20,000 Mohammedans *over one weekend*.

And Canada is our next door neighbor……..with that many Muslims ….THE TERRORISTS NEXT DOOR!!!!!…..Seems like l remember a book with that title.
Come on western world leaders…stop islam.!!!
Dr. Divinity says
I have been around since F D R ….we have had some bad presidents during this time time but obummer is the baddest of them all.If he was not black….Well part black….he would have been history with the things that has happened in his administration.
if he was white someone would have framed him with an impeachable act …not to say there isn’t an act there already. Or at least congress could have had an impeachment hearing..which could have brought out some ugly details. Impeach the first black….part black…president. Never happen
Just think he could have done for the black race if he would have been what he should have been. Instead he has set black people back back back…..
Aron says
OBAMA ADMINISTRATION APPROACHING WATERLOO MOMENT
Any unbiased Opinion Poll will expose fact that most americans Value their Lives and that of families more than any ‘Values’ floated around as American.
But that is exactly the henchmen in media will set about to cook up figures and claim most people okay with ‘refugees’.
This President has gone way beyond any Nixongate.
He is approaching Impeachment flash point. Just one more attack anywhere in western metros linked again to Syrian ‘moderates’ and this Obama show will fold up and is finished.
Since they are out on a limb and on thin ice, its time Freedom fighters and grass roots activists hit the street and protest for other States to Refuse these Trojan Horse invasion.
I see an imminent collapse of Confidence in the President and a Nixon moment.
ich says
Great way to say it Aron.
I agree 100%
Robert_K says
Obama won’t be impeached. After all, if the rise of ISIS can blamed due to Global Warming (or Climate Change) by the Democrats, and John Kerry can maintain that Climate Change is a greater threat than violent extremism, and the American can put (Barack (Hussein) Obama in office not just once but twice, do you think the American boobs would take notice of the Muslim mass Hijra into the US?
Noel Eliscu says
The enemy is in the WH and his soldiers are Polosi,and the rest of the corrupt leaders. The POTUS is more concerned with Syrians and other cultures than the welfare of this great nation. If a Paris like experience happens here its on his hands. He is inviting it to happen and the media is supporting him. People should support the imprisonment for the omission and printing and reporting of ficticious news . The POTUS controls the media thru marriages and hiring practices.
spartan says
This is vanity of the most extraordinary kind! A president so in love with his own sense of moral superiority that he will override objections from elected officials throughout the US to what common sense should tell anyone is a potential threat to the security of US citizens – a clear rejection of democratic principles in the name of his own self-righteousness.
Wellington says
Obama continues to do more harm to America than any other single person in all of American history. The man is truly disgusting. He is loathsome.
His presidency has been a disaster economically (by end of his second term he will have piled up as much debt as all previous Presidents combined from Washington through Bush 43), in foreign affairs because he has greatly diminished American influence from the world and has been cruel to the kind (e.g., Israel) and kind to the cruel (e.g., Iran), militarily (he has taken the American Armed Forces to a pre-WWII level and is easily the least respected Commander-in-Chief of all Presidents), constitutionally as he continues to enforce only those laws he likes, legally as he has unwarrantedly interfered in ongoing investigations and cases (e.g., in the Ferguson blow-up and the Trayvon Martin case), on immigration, on social mores (e.g., his lighting up the White House in rainbow colors the night of the Supreme Court case on gay marriage which functioned as an eff you to half of America), certainly on the matter of Islam where he has been a rank apologist for this spiritual fascism, on health care where his stupid ObamaCare has tremendously increased insurance costs for millions of Americans (including yours truly), racially of course as he continues to push division between the races instead of trying to unite the country, on police enforcement to the extent that those in blue across America now have their lives in greater danger because of his irresponsible rhetoric, and on and on and on. The man has been a disaster and compounding this is his insufferable arrogance. I detest him.
miriamrove says
Hi W! Hope you are well. By now I am sure you know around 22 governors mentioned that, they will not take in any refugees. I am not an expert on our constitution, but do these governors have this choice? Can Obama legally under the constitution force this down their throats? Can you shed a light on this? If not anyone here can jump in. m
Wellington says
Hi, mr. Hope you too are doing well. Federal law trumps state law and that’s the bottom line.
Of course, a showdown could occur whereby a Governor can call out the state’s National Guard and attempt to oppose any federal enforcement but then Obama could just federalize the National Guard. In the final analysis, Obama holds all the high cards but there is so much detestation towards him in certain states that I can’t exclude the National Guard of a particular state continuing to listen to the Governor of that state and not the President (though this is very unlikely). At that point, Obama would have to call out federal armed forces. I don’t think it will come to this of course but Obama has been such a divisive figure that anymore I can’t exclude most any possibility.
Champ says
Wellington, thank you for that information …

miriamrove says
Thank you. There are a bunch of breaking news such as a canceled soccer game in the netherland and BA flight that someone tried to break in the cock pit. m
Csakany says
As of post 9/11 legislation (“patriot act” era panic laws), the national guard is now under Washington’s control, not the state’s.
“Zlozcie Kopie!”
Wellington says
I believe, Cssankany, that you are referring to the 2007 Defense Authorization Act which made the President a co-commander with the Governor of each state of the National Guard of an exigent matter entirely within a given state. Governors protested this move but, frankly, I don’t see how it really made, in fact though not in theory, any real difference because the President already had the authority to federalize the National Guard anyway even if the incident at hand was confined to only one state. For instance, this is exactly what President Eisenhower did during the 1957 Little Rock school crisis.
خَليفة says
You will know them by their fruits.
Obama’s fruits are rotten, he is truly “The Arabian Candidate” (see the original movie “The Manchurian Candidate” )
The fact that he is doubling down, instead of having an open “transparent” discussion, show his mal intent. Note to liberals – this as been obamas MO all the time – give lip service that sounds good, but do the opposite – again actions speak louder than well delivered liberal-pleasing orations. Special effects are great in movies, but as we all know, movies are make believe, as are obamas promises.

Bully and shaming. Despicable. moslim mouth and finger.
There will be trouble. satan’s beast knows only devouring and conquering and he is enabling it; he will not feel regret when the terror actions take place; he will accept no blame for any of it.
The world is moving swiftly toward the war of Armageddon…the worst evil against God and His Son. An all-out, final war.

You do make me laugh here Robert, The Netherlands had 12 thousand refugees come in last month and a total of 60 thousand this year. Quadruple this number for their “right” to reunite with family, that means a quarter of a million in a area 1/5 of the size of Florida.
Ten thousand would not “FLOOD” the USA. But it is a good thing the USA is guarding their borders and very cautious about who enters in, then at least one Western country will be free. If we all go down the same path, then there is little hope left.
Noel Eliscu says
All you need is a few in Chicago (no guns) and other gun free zones plus why gamble.
Renee says
Hope the US is smarter than EU, well it is actually.
Noel Eliscu says
We are smarter but the POTUS is not and wants to destroy this country

@ Noel Eliscu
“All you need is a few in Chicago (no guns) and other gun free zones plus why gamble.”
No thank you. I have to live in this hellhole. We’ve got enough bloodshed from the gangs and other garden variety criminals.
Alex says
It’s a common feature with the Americans, unfortunately. They don’t know much on anything outside their borders, except what their president publicly says about a foreign issue. Very self-centric.
More Ham Ed says
“Ten thousand would not “FLOOD” the USA.” Amazing how so many come here to post a twisted “opinion” of what Robert clearly states. From the text above quote “…scheme to flood the U.S. with at least 10,000 refugees from Syria…” Did you get that at least — O’ bum ya really wants upwards of 200,000+. ONE is too many until the 15 or so largest islamic-majority countries start taking in refugees. Again, from the original text above “He didn’t explain why Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar don’t have to do their part..” and neither do you. Islam makes a horrendous mess, someone else has to clean it up. Repeat. I am opposed to arming jihadists disguised as “moderates” however the U.S. didn’t go back in time and write the unholy ko ‘ran either.

So–you’re chiding the US for not being as flagrantly suicidal as the Netherlands?
I’ll keep that in mind the next Jihad terror attack we have here–another Boston Marathon Bombing, perhaps. I’m sure it will make me feel ever so much better!

This Pesident dies not seem to realize that his actions will have far reaching effects for the future of the United States and its people

He does realize it, Benedict. That is why he is doing as much damage to us as he can as soon as he can. His intent is not for good for the US.
Mo says

“This Pesident dies not seem to realize that his actions will have far reaching effects for the future of the United States and its people”
Of course he does! He LOATHES this country! That’s why he wanted to “fundamentally transform” it!

Canada has a population of about 37 million which is about one tenth of the US. Our government insists on brining in 25,000, yes, 25,ooo unvented Syrians by Christmas. Talk about crazy.

Prez Obama should really arrange to have his daughters marry some 60 or 70 year old Muslims. The girls are a little old for it, but maybe being the President’s daughters will help!
