The clown who wrote this, Frank Figliuzzi, is the “former Assistant Director for Counterintelligence at the Federal Bureau of Investigation. He later served as the FBI’s Chief Inspector, overseeing special inquiries including all reviews of the use of deadly force by FBI agents worldwide.”
That goes a long way to explaining why the FBI is so relentlessly clueless when it comes to the jihad terror threat.
Figliuzzi’s argument here is that we must accept regular jihad massacres, because to do anything about them, such as restricting immigration from jihad terror hotspots, would be “Islamophobic”: “If we cling to the old view that any successful attack represents a counterterrorism failure, we must also be ready to accept a new way of life. Do we want to view anyone from a different country, with a different set of beliefs, as no longer welcome here? I would argue we do not.”
Yet that incorrigible bigot Trump is doing the wrong thing: “Today, the White House is already calling for even more stringent constraints on immigration policy. Taken to its illogical extreme, this approach to counterterrorism will preclude anyone from anywhere from entering the U.S. if any of their fellow nationals has ever committed a terror act. That’s not who we are.”
That’s not who we are. Of course. Who are we? We are people who are willing to see innocent American civilians murdered on our streets so as not to appear “racist.” We are people who would rather admit harmful people into the U.S. than keep out some harmless ones, because there is no way to distinguish between the two, and to move toward self-protection and self-defense would be “bigoted.” We are people who, as the jihadi knife begins slicing through our throats, will congratulate ourselves that we were never, even one second, “Islamophobic.”
“The Rise of Soft-Target Terror Attacks Is a Symptom of Police Success,” by Frank Figliuzzi, NBC News, November 2, 2017:
Is this our new normal?
During my FBI career as a Special Agent and ultimately Assistant Director, the FBI, police, and domestic security agencies viewed terrorist incidents through a black and white, binary lens. If we “allowed” an attack to happen, we had failed. If we prevented an attack, we had succeeded. Yet, the increase in lone wolf, soft-target attacks — particularly attacks where trucks and cars are driven into large, vulnerable crowds — can actually be viewed as a symptom of our success.
The Halloween terror attack that occurred in New York City raises an important question: Do we need to change the way we deal with so-called “soft target” attacks?
As I write this, there are reports that the Halloween attacker entered our country in 2010 from Uzbekistan, shouted what sounded like “God is Great” in Arabic, and left a note in his rented truck stating something to the effect that he was inspired by ISIS. If this reporting is accurate, it is possible that our old binary lenses may actually distort our view of this increasingly popular form of mass terror. And if this is true, we must immediately analyze our strategies. Without adapting, Americans could eventually find themselves in a country where the rental of a truck requires a background inquiry akin to a gun purchase, and the reservation of a hotel room requires a search for sniper rifles….
But just as officials are adjusting their perspective, it may be time for the public to adjust as well. Terrorism task forces around the nation already have rigorous training and awareness programs for truck rental personnel, hotel staff, and a host of other groups who may find themselves suddenly on the front lines of our war against terror. If we cling to the old view that any successful attack represents a counterterrorism failure, we must also be ready to accept a new way of life. Do we want to view anyone from a different country, with a different set of beliefs, as no longer welcome here?
I would argue we do not. Today, the White House is already calling for even more stringent constraints on immigration policy. Taken to its illogical extreme, this approach to counterterrorism will preclude anyone from anywhere from entering the U.S. if any of their fellow nationals has ever committed a terror act. That’s not who we are.

This is unbelievable. When did immigrants become more valuable and important than the protection of US citizens?
traci94 says
How does one even prepare for that kind of future? Living in total fear all the time? This is the kind of world we’re leaving for our kids? I guess I’ll have to start saying “Girls just be prepared when you go to this concert; you could be victims of a terror attack.” If there is any Muslim backlash, it’s totally justified because of crap like this. People like this guy, Bill De Blasio, and all the other leftists jerks need to suffer consequences from this kind of ridiculous thinking. Maybe if they or their loved ones experienced a terror attack they might be singing a different tune.
Santa Voorhees says
Off topic here, but I am seeing leftists and SJWs on twitter that are freaking out over a harmless “it’s okay to be white” sign.
But they never freak out in the same manner about jihad massacres.
I am seriously starting to think that the Left is even pleased that they keep happening. No other rational and logical conclusion can be drawn from their inaction over the issue.
That’s what we’re up against. Sad.
Bill says
“How does one even prepare for that kind of future?” I do not believe there is one complete answer for that. It is a combination of things. I have suggestions for at least one component of that preparedness.
Individual citizens,can start by accepting responsibility of their own defense and shoulder that responsibility.. Each person can work at being aware all of the time. It takes training and does not come naturally. Knowledgeably avoiding danger is a great first start. When trouble finds you despite your reasonable efforts to avoid it, be prepared to deal with it.
Stop relying exclusively on the government because they cannot and, as we have learned from bitter experience, will not provide for it, nor are they legally required to provide for anyone’s defense. Accept that. If more people adopted a firm “I will not be a victim” mindset we would eventually have a collective defense that would help to make heretofore “soft targets” less easy or soft. Invulnerability is not guaranteed and it never is, Accept that.
But right now, a terrorist or a common criminal can simply attack and do extensive damage before ultimately someone with the right tools confronts the perp. This is how it always goes down. Our current approach in many states and cities guarantees that a lot of damage will be done before that help arrives. If the perp were to know that he or she were not just wading in to slaughter helpless sheep with certainty, but were instead going to walk into situationally aware, focused and dedicated resistance, that would make the attack harder and less successful. It would at least prevent the less dedicated attacker from even trying.
The Jihadis and even regular violent criminals all know where the soft spaces are. That is why they choose them. In some cases the soft spaces are entire cities such as NYC or Chicago or Baltimore. Or even wholes states like New Jersey.
An individual commitment to self defense breeds confidence and would eventually manifest itself in collective bi-partisan ballot box actions to (1) change laws to make self defense available both legally and practically; (2) reduce gun free zones and to effectively police those that remain; (3) demand that politicians shoulder accountability for proper and effective national and community defense, including most importantly border and immigration policies specifically designed to screen out the threat; (4) repeal hate speech laws that serve only to chill citizen discourse on understanding and evaluating threats. Those are examples. I am sure others could be listed.
It starts with the individual. Governments everywhere, including our own, would prefer to herd people as sheep: weak, not empowered, fearful, dependent, and reliant on government to provide. Until we break from that paradigm we are only going to get more of what we are getting now. Europe is in the advanced stages. Just look around. It is happening to us now too.

That is WHY WE ARE NOT SAFE in our OWN COUNTRY ! We can THANK OUR GOVERNMENT for that ,..especially the US State Department !

How did he repay us for our open arms , he murdered Americans who had fought the enemy overseas and had come HOME ,..ONLY to be MURDERED by a young Muslim who began LEARNING the FUNDAMENTALS of HIS BELIEFS and decided to ACT ON THEM.

Clueless is the right word. Western countries exclude people from entry every day! They are excluded because of what they believe. Would the immigration authorities not exclude practicing Aztec priests who offer human sacrifices to Acolnahuacatl (the god of war), Huitzilopochtli (the god of day) and Tezcatlipoca (the god of night)? They would exclude them, because in the modern world, such barbaric savagery is outlawed. The Islamic savagery of sacrificing humans to the hoax-god Allah must also be outlawed.
Since one in six Muslims support jihad terrorism, it is reasonable to exclude such people.
Shiloh says
WELL said!
Terry Gain says
I think that number is low. The ideology mandates Jihad so everyone who subscribes to the ideology supports Jihad, whether they admit it or not.
Terry Karcich says
Only Muslims who don’t follow the Qur’an are unlikely to commit jihad. Even those apostates might really support terrorism while not taking part in it. That means that anyone who does follow the Qur’an devoutly is a possible jihadist because conversion to Islam and sharia law is mandated in that book. Terrorists have told us that over and over. Why do we refuse to believe them? I think that the western civilizations have become so “sophisticated” that they can’t believe that there are people in this world who will do these things for religion.
So be it, but we don’t have to allow them into our country. Would we allow cannibals to come here and then tell us to accept their dietary preferences?

Gosh, Frank, you mean all this mayhem isn’t changing our way of life? That’s so comforting. So why are US citizens buying guns and cancelling their vacation plans to Europe and Egypt? Bad weather?
So, you’re effectively saying that the FBI can’t keep up with the Islamic terror threats and the citizens should huddle around like a school of anchovies and expect a minority to die in the jaws of predators? And that’s how we remain, “who we are”?
There is a terrible flaw in your thinking: that humans are defenseless. What you are suggesting, failure by DHS and the associated agencies, given enough time – will result in vigilantism and possibly, long in the future, civil war.
The EU is the proverbial “canary in the coal mine”; its law enforcement overwhelmed and its citizens headed for physical civil discord. Are they still, “who they were”?

Karen says
Yes. The author makes the fallacious argument that people who rent trucks may come under suspicion if counterterrorism is taken to extremes. Well, sure, but that just proves that a fact-based policy is needed, such as looking at the known populations overseas where support for jihad terror is high, and the events of 9/11 are viewed favorably.

Someone has to ask NBC “why” ? And “who” ?
Shiloh says
NBC KNOWS. Americans know. It was Islamics. It’s in the teachings. They don’t want to report that because they refuse to admit it to themselves. That’s the big coverup by liberals.
Debi Brand says
Indeed.
Read the pages of “Qur’an, so too, the same of Sira of the alleged “Messenger of Allah.”
Read the same of hadith—Sunnah.
Then simply asks: is what is on these pages what we want to see enacted on our streets, practiced in or “visited” upon our homes; flavoring, with that “special” Islamic twist, our gatherings—concerts, holiday celebrations, leisure times, ect.?
If the answer is no, then we must ask, why then is Islam free to be practiced in this nation?
Shiloh says
No, we don’t have to, and SHOULDN’T accept this as “routine”! Close borders, sift all who are already here and kick them out. NO ONE of this violent belief system, who adheres to its teachings, should be anywhere except among themselves!

Bill says
This is why the FBI is part of the problem. These remarks are emblematic of the “hate America” group think that has captured the FBI. Why is it that we always learn that the FBI had eyes on terrorists, only to leave them free to commit their murderous acts of terror? They are running a catch and release program, or, as in the case of Garland, apparently helping terrorists to commit assassinations. Whether it is refusing to root out terrorists or helping sell vital uranium supplies to Russia, Americans can no longer afford to trust the FBI. It needs a thorough house cleaning, including prosecutions for treason where appropriate. It will not happen. So in the end, this former FBI agent may be correct. We are going to have to accept terrorism in our lives because the FBI is forcing us to.
mgoldberg says
Nations do owe their citizens the security of their borders, and their cultural identity.
The globablist notion of open borders removes the responsibility of nations to do just that, and it is applied mostly to the US, Europe, but anywhere there are muslim immigration, the nations are urged to take in the ‘oppressed’ immigrants.
Never, are the issues of the failures of muslim nations called into question. Never are the issues of the history of muslim migration to other nations and the resultant discord
and destruction of the cultures and security of those nations called into examination.
The Saudi’s and emirates ( I think it was the emirates) joined together to make a firm statement back in 2015 sept., announcing they wouldn’t take in any syrian refugees. Their stated reasons: 1. they couldn’t tell the refugees from terrorists,2. people from other ‘cultures’ have a difficult time adjusting to another society.
Now… this was an arab muslim statement about other arabs and muslims!
Nowhere did the UN, or others howl at what this meant, but when Europe or the US wanted to curtail any immigration, it was demeaned as racist, islamophobic, hateful,
bigoted,et al.
The issues have been reduced to inarguable gloablist ascertions about universal immiration rights without any responsibility for nations to secure their peoples, cultures, borders.
Getting used to violent homicidism respresents the failure to examine where the violent homicidism originates from and how
Oh… and the 23 relatives of this homicidal Jihadist, who is gleeful about slaughtering others should be deported, and he brought swiftly to trial and justice- a fireing squad.

It went down like a lead balloon with all the ‘proper’ Londoners whose parents/grandparents had seen off Hitler’s attempts at this sort of thing, but of course Khan didn’t notice because he doesn’t realise that these people exist.

I know that the UK does not care about tourists, that is why I boycott fairyland, ditto Europe. I used to spend between two and four thousand dollars each year in NYC as a tourist and shopper. I have stopped this now. I fact I am stopping travel because western nations do not care about western residents and western tourists or those with western values including Asian tourists. My travel budget is greatly reduced and I prefer to stay home on staycations as they are less stressful. I have not seen a movie outside of my home for 20 years and I avoid restaurants wherever possible. The home theatre will become very popular as paid officials do not have the political will to protect taxpayers. You could not pay me to go to Mexico because of the drug cartels, now I will add NYC to the list because of the terrorist reality and threat and the mentality of elected officials.

Terror, the “new norm”? Only if the current delusional and inherently self-defeating liberal progressive, neo-Marxist, PC, multi-cultural paradigms, clearly encapsulated by the MSM view above, continue to prevail.
Understanding the orthodox and traditional foundations for jihad and Islamic predations and taking appropriate counter measures, and “terror” (really violent jihad, an Islamic religious ritual and “good” deed) will be an abberation.
Peterson says
I also want that many more terrorist attacks should happen in America. America is full of donkeys because they have been fairly protected from terrorist activities. If there had been many terrorist attacks in America the American opinion wouldn’t have been the same today. Americans don’t know the ground realities and think that a few misinformed people have entered into terrorism.Do you think that if there had been many terrorist attacks in America Trump would have to struggle with his Muslim entry ban bill? So everything happens happens for a cause. Being too much protected makes people stupid.

We should not accept terrorism as the new normal. We can still change it. It took decades for things to get as bad as they have; it’ll take decades to fix it. But by no means should we give up!
Stay alert and tell police if you see anything out of the ordinary. Help spread messages of peace and love online so that ISIS’s jihadist propaganda isn’t the only message out there. Pressure Congress to adopt better security measures.
I know things seem hopeless. But remember–politicians and media don’t necessarily represent a country. The ordinary people are strong in ways no one ever expects until tragedy strikes.
As much as ordinary conservatives and liberals disagree–and I have family and friends on both sides–all of them want things to change, for the government to care about people, for their children to be safe and happy. Though we all have different ideas on how to do that, most liberals and conservatives are not as extreme as the ones we see online or on TV.

The police can only respond after the fact to 99% of all crimes. and now due to lax immigration policy so many criminal aliens are walking our streets. That it is more likely now then ever that you will be robbed, beaten or raped.
The only way to fight this enemy living amongst us is for all law abiding citizens to obtain a conceal and carry license. And become proficient in its use.
On a law enforcement level
Deport people here if they commit crimes, Many of these attackers have run ins with law enforcement for minor offenses and rather than call ICE, municipal authorities release them.
The NY truck attacker lived in Florida and New York for years using an expired drivers license after his questionable visa expired.. Did he vote for Hillary? Did he have numerous interactions with police and they kept letting him go over and over instead of informing ICE. This is what happened to Katie Steinle and now this maniac in NY,
I think that if Immigrants want to come to the USA badly enough they should be fingerprinted, hi res 3d photographed, and DNA swabbed for the database. submitting into the database for the first 5 years crime free until eligible to be naturalized.
No naturalized immigrant should possess any firearm unless by special permit until after living as a legal crime free citizen of the USA for a minimum of 5 years. .
All drivers licenses and government photo ID should contain a holographic chip that contains partial retinal scan data, It is not stored in any database it just matches the card to the actual persons retina. even identical twins could not defeat this technology.

Don’t WE want to ban self-declared BIGOTS? Why would we want MORE bigots in our country who ‘act out’ their bigotry under the guise of a religion?
If for example, there was a “religion” dedicated to Aryan White Supremacy invented by Adolf Hitler who was the messenger of God and who outlined in his Holy Scripture, Mein Kampf…i.e., his “struggle” (jihad), to promote Jewish genocide …do ya’ think anyone in the US would be concerned about being Hitlerphobic if we banned ALL Hitlerians from entering our country?
Oh, yeah….the Hitlerianpanderers will say…BUT NOT ALL Hitlerians kill Jews…just a few…thousand or million or so…. even though you can NEVER really know which Hitlerian would want to emulate the actions and commands of their messenger of God. If there are “good” Hitlerians, like a Schindler, who become apostates…then they can be considered for entry. Once here, ALL Hitlerians have to renounce ALL identification and belief in Hitlerianism and no temples promoting their “religion” would be allowed.

We are the country that the founding fathers created. Thomas Jefferson and John Quincy Adams did not allow any Muslims to come into the USA, because they are not compatible with our Constitution. We need to get back to that.
Paul Ashley says
That’s not who we are, huh? Then I guess the founders had it wrong:

And I guess we need to be “who we are” and let in all who would turn us into who we are not, i.e. Islamic totalitarians.

“enemy is not at the gates; he is within.”
No doubt about it. In brief.

When someone like this raises to the top of an organization that is mandated to protect America and Americans is it any wonder why we have these attacks? The last President said the same thing. All the while our intel was saying there was no effective way to vet immigrants from these Countries. Under the Diversity Program, they can bring in many more, claiming family relationships that also cannot be vetted.

“That’s not who we are:” I believe that expression can be credited to Barack Obama’s most successful phrase in furthering his Fundamental Transformation of the USA; brainwashing Americans into believing HIS vision of the nation – welcoming Islam into the world without a single cautionary word. Obama’s appointment of relatively low-level Muslims into the FBI, DOD and CIA resulted in deleting all training material references regarded as derogatory of Islamic violent beliefs.

NBC is right. That’s why I wrote this book…

“Americans must prepare for a future where terror is routine.”
Translation = Americans (and foreign tourists here on holiday) need to die for our idiotic belief system.
No, that’s not who we are you creepy clown.
UNCLE VLADDI says
The obvious corollary would be:
“Complicit politicians who abdicate their oaths of office to defend their constituents must prepare for a future where said populace routinely strings them up to nearby lampposts with piano wire in response.”
(See “Mussolini”).

Long before this kind of crap becomes routine you will see 3 to 9% of the people that support our Constitution do some serious house cleaning within the local, state and federal governments! The suspected “problem” immigrants and sympathizers will then be dealt with swiftly and permanently!

Wars, crime, and terrorism have always been around since the beginning of humankind, but until recently, noone (not even non-conservatives) have suggested it to be the new norm.
Yet now, liberalism believes that terrorism should be the norm, and that it’s our fault for wanting to prevent it.
Simply sickening.
Pearl says
Who are these mentally ill people in the media and govt that they can presume to tell Americans “who we are”? I know I never gave them leave to speak for me and I am sick of their presumption and downright stupidity as they take that liberty.
