SB shooting shows jihad risk from Muslim migrants’ U.S.-born children

So let’s bring in thousands more. What could possibly go wrong?

“California Shooting Shows Jihad Risk From Muslim Migrants’ U.S.-Born Children,” by Neil Munro, Breitbart, December 3, 2015:

The San Bernardino shooter who killed 14 Americans is yet another name on the growing list of U.S.-born children of Muslim migrants who grew up to embrace violent jihad.

Before Syed Rizwan Farook, the most notorious example was Anwar al Awlaki, born in New Mexico in 1971 to accomplished, professional-class Yemeni parents. He subsequently embraced the violent commandments of Islam, complete with its many calls for attacks on kaffirs, or non-Muslims. His career as a jihadi advisor, recruiter and cheerleader ended when he was killed by a U.S. missile in Yemen in September 2011.

Another example is Nidal Malik Hasan, the Virginia-born son of Arab migrants, who murdered 13 Americans in Fort Hood, Texas, in 2009. That attack was downplayed by federal officials as “workplace violence,” even though Hasan had described himself as a “Soldier of Allah” on his U.S. Army business cards.

According to Robert Spencer, the problem of home-grown jihadis is getting worse because the U.S. government does nothing to make Muslim immigrants integrate into the United States’ culture and laws. The best-selling author and the operator of the website, jihadwatch.org adds, “that’s the elephant in the room — there are no efforts made to inculcate any kind of loyalty to American values among any immigrants, much less Muslim immigrants.”

The problem is worse among Muslims, because Muslim culture and religion is hostile to integration, Spencer says. “Islamic law announces itself as a superior model for society and government [so] you’ve got no [community-driven] reason for Muslims to integrate or adopt American values, because their way is better,” he said.

That’s a recipe for disaster whenever Muslims realize the gap between their claims and reality, he said. “They start blaming others, they say ‘Its the Jews or ‘Islamphobes’ that are keeping me down,’ because they never blame their faults or their responsibility,” eventually causing some to become jihadis, he said….

    It is as simple as this – jihad risk is from every Muslim, no matter where he is born. It is the foolishness of Western leaders and media in thinking that those Muslims born in the West will be like the rest of us and will not follow the footsteps of their jihadi brothers elsewhere.

    One must remember – for Muslims jihad is holy and a first step to go to paradise in after life. They do not think anything wrong in murdering non-Muslims in the cause of Mo/allah and therefore murdering infidels for allah is holiest of the holy for them!1 Try arguing this point with a Muslim and see what he replies!!

    “to embrace violent jihad” is a duty in Islam, not an option, nor an error.
    Jihad, “warfare against non-muslims” to establish the religion is a “communal obligation” (Manual of Islamic Law, “Reliance of the Traveller” o9.0, o9.1).

    My own experience verifies this exactly. My muslim neighbor’s kids lecture everyone who will listen on the injustices experienced by her “people” in her “country of Palestine”. Born and raised in the United States, they in no way identify themselves as Americans. They have been fed the propaganda through the mosques and muslim schools .

    Here in Australia, the Australian born sons of the Lebanese Muslim immigrants of the 1970’s are the ones causing the trouble. Even if all the Muslims Merkel is taking into Germany are peaceful, any of their children in a generations time could go Jihad. The same applies to Obama’s Syrian refugees he is taking into the USA now.

    We Canadians are not far behind of our cousins from the south.
    We had ‘Toronto 18’ and ‘Omar Khadr’ just to name a couple.

    As an ex-muslim, I am 1000 percent sure that Sunni muslims, whether born in America or came here as kids will NOT hesitate to kill their the American “kuffar” neighbors or coworkers in jihad attacks in the future.
    Sunni muslims are extremely hateful and evil and are ready to kill the kuffar and even those who are like friendly to you, cannot be trusted. Ahmadi muslims, ismaeli muslim and even Shiite muslim indivudlals could be far more peaceful than the Sunni muslims who are the majority of all muslims. But still, it is better to avoid them all.

    Yup. It’s the setup for the perfect storm.

    Listened to an Iranian Christian pastor who is telling it right. The terrorist groups: Isis Alqueda taliban boko harem etc…are the true followers of islam

    This is an important issue that is ignored by Western governments and university academics, and yet it’s crying out for investigation. Australia’s experience is a good case study. In the 1970’s refugees from the civil war in Lebanon were resettled in Australia. Both muslim and Christian refugees. But it is notable that there is a real problem now with the 1st generation born to the muslim refugees. Most of the terror plots uncovered in Australia and most of the Jihadist who have left Australia to join Islamic State, come from the Australian Lebanese muslims.
    What we can see is the parents generally are grateful to be in a Western country.They remember how bad the old country was. That realisation however does not seem to extend to their children, who perhaps in an attempt to find their identity embrace Islam as a purpose for their life. So “self radicalisation” could be as much about finding your identity in a culture you don’t fit into. Syed Farook may fit into this category.

    In contrast if you were to look at the Christian refugees from Lebanon, Iraq, and Iran it would be very interesting to see what happened to their children in the new country. Are they better adjusted and intergrated into Western societies? I would suggest that they probably are. But these are questions the liberal academics will not consider because it might just show that muslim migrants to the West are a social experiment that is doomed to failure. That simply their religion and world view clash and are incompatible to “Western” values and culture.
