This is a good step, but much more is needed. If President Trump wants to stop jihad activity in the U.S., he has to follow through with his immigration ban from all Muslim countries, monitor the mosques, and require Muslim communities in the U.S. to renounce jihad violence and the aspects of Sharia that contradict Constitutional freedoms, and do so in a transparent, inspectable way. All that is impossible in today’s political climate, but if we want to stop jihad, that is what would need to be done.
“Trump Orders More Extreme Vetting In Wake Of Fatal NYC Terrorist Attack,” by Ryan Pickrell, Daily Caller, October 31, 2017:
President Donald Trump stressed on Twitter that he has ordered the Department of Homeland Security to take extreme measures to screen foreign visitors to the U.S. after a fatal terrorist attack in New York City Tuesday evening.
The president has pushed an extreme vetting program for immigrants since he took office earlier this year. After what is being called the deadliest terrorist attack on New York City since 9/11, the president appears to believe that more aggressive measures are required.
Trump has repeatedly tied immigration to radical Islamic terrorism on American soil, a link that was demonstrated by Tuesday’s attack. The 29-year-old attacker — Sayfullo Saipov — was a green card holder from Uzbekistan. Authorities found a letter in Arabic at the scene that appeared to indicate the terrorist is loyal to the Islamic State….
Mac-101 says
It’s time to start protests at the Court houses of these Lib NeoBolshevik Federal Judges who are responsible for the importation of Jihadist and blocks the deportation of illegals who go on to murder and rape Americans.
apexpoint says
These judges are happy to create more time bombs to purify Americans’ sins.
duh swami says
for best results ban Islam and Muslims,,,Half measures won’t work…
Diversity requires sacrifice,,,are we learning that yet?
Savvy Kafir says
Agreed. Half measures will not make us safe. Nor will they save Western civilization from the cancer of Islam.
The terrorist attacks will continue as long as Muslims live among us, now that the True Believers have declared war on the infidel world once again. And, more ominously, the Demographic Jihad will continue to advance, as long as fast-breeding Muslims are allowed to live among us.
During World War II, we would not have knowingly allowed Nazis — ANY Nazis — to live & breed among us. We are now in World War III, and Islam is the enemy.
Islam does not belong in the civilized world. It cannot remain in the West, in any form.
Santa Voorhees says
The Left is allowing this to continue. Therefore they should be held accountable, prosecuted and jailed for collaboration with jihadists.
Just think about this:
Europe survived Islam back in 9th century and onwards, it survived the Black Death, it survived 2 world wars and the Nazis etc…. after all this, don’t tell me it can’t survive liberal leftism and its PC bullshit, given the pussies leftists are.
Come on Europe, I know you can do it! Just wake up!
Terry Gain says
Islamic immigration is a Trojan Horse. The first radical Muslim was the psychopath who invented the “religion”. He is the role model. Fox News is referring to this devout Muslim killer as a “radical jihadist” and is using the expression “radical Islamic terrorism”.
Good grief. Will we ever learn.
dumbledoresarmy says
Yes, it is indeed a ‘trojan horse’. The Ummah, the Mohammedan mob, the Muslim ‘community’, the family and the mosque, is the sheltering, nurturing sea within which the jihadis swim and from which, ceaselessly, they emerge, like sugar-crystals from a saturated syrup or salt forming in a salt-pan.
Have you read ex-Muslim ‘Sam Solomon’? He sets it all out as plain as daylight in his two books “The Mosque Exposed” and “Al Hijra: The Islamic Doctrine of Immigration”.
if only we would heed the warnings of the – very brave – defectors from the Camp of Islam, as once, back in the Cold War, we heeded the warnings of those who defected from the USSR or Mao’s China or, earlier, in the late 1930s, wise people heeded the warnings of those freedom-minded people of conscience who fled from the Third Reich.
As for ‘radical’ vs ‘moderate’, etc: There are two writers who absolutely *nail* that particular evasion.
One is Conor Cruise O’Brien, a brilliant Irish writer who in 1995 published an article in the ‘Independent’ that that same paper would probably never *dare* to publish today. It is called “The Lesson of Algeria: Islam is Indivisible”.

A Blast From the Past: Conor Cruise O’Brien, in 1995, Discussing the Jihad in Algeria
Here’s how he begins – “‘Fundamentalist Islam” [or, mutatis mutandis – “radical Islam” – dda] is a misnomer which dulls our perception in a dangerous way.
“It does so by implying that there is some other kind of Islam, which is well disposed to those who reject the Koran. There isn’t. ”
More:
“What is going on today in the Muslim world is not the advent of some aberrant thing called Islamic fundamentalism but a revival of Islam itself – the real thing – which Western ascendancy and Westernised post-Muslim elites no longer have the capacity to muffle and control. The jihad is back.”
Remember: he wrote that in **1995**. – dda.
And O’Brien simply *skewers* a statement made by Clinton when visiting Jordan in 1995. He defines Clinton’s vapourings as “woozy ecumenism”.
I quote – “”President Clinton’s personal approach to this matter appears to be governed by a kind of woozy ecumenism, fairly prevalent among Western liberal churchmen.
“As the president told the Jordanian Parliament in October: “After all, the chance to live in harmony with our neighbours and to build a better life for our children is the hope that binds us together. Whether we worship in a mosque in Irbid, a Baptist church like my own in Little Rock, Arkansas, or a synagogue in Haifa, we are bound together in that hope”.
“‘All the great religions are the same’ is the idea. Only they aren’t.
“The Clintonian world view observes [sic: the proper word is probably ‘obscures’ – somebody made an error when putting this piece into the archives? – dda] the hard specificity of Islam.
“The Prophet Mohamed did not offer his followers a chance to live in harmony with their neighbours.
“He taught them to fight their neighbours, if they were unbelievers, and kill them or beat them into submission.
“And it is futile to say of those Muslims who faithfully follow those teachings today that their actions are not ‘intrinsically related to Islam’.
“We are facing an Islamic revival….”.
Thus Conor Cruise O’Brien. Would that in 1995 diplomats, politicians, journalists and churchmen in the free western world had paid more attention to him, and shaped their policy and actions accordingly.
Now, here’s the other article, by one William Kilpatrick, which summarily disposes of the claim that because not *all* Muslims appear to be *actively* waging jihad (in the sense of letting off bombs, stabbing people, shooting people, running people over with trucks, etc) there is really nothing to worry about.
“The Vast Majority Myth”.
http://www.crisismagazine.com/2015/the-vast-majority-myth
Make copies of both of these articles. I would advise *printing them off* as well, so that you have hardcopy in a folder; maybe make several paper copies and keep them handy.
And share them far and wide, on social media, in emails, share them whenever you get the chance.
Give copies to your elected representatives.
NV says
Mr. Spencer: I beg to differ from what is written. Unless you GET RID OF THE VISA LOTTERY PROGRAM, extreme vetting, more intelligence gathering, etc. etc. will not work. Because, on the one hand you are trying to enforce security at the fullest extent (i.e., extreme vetting etc.), on the other, you are letting the back door open! How foolish can that be? Of all the intelligent politicians out there, not one has recognized this fatal flaw? Pathetic!
dumbledoresarmy says
Every American jihadwatcher: **contact your President**. GET BEHIND HIM AND PUSH!
This attack, carried out by a Muslim immigrant (thank goodness he had not yet acquired citizenship) who only got into the USA because of the diversity visa lottery, is *the* perfect cue for putting an end to said ‘diversity visa lottery’, right now.
Then pocket the gain and move on, step by step, to stop ALL Musilm entry into the USA. Not as migrants nor ‘refugees’ nor businessmen nor tourists nor ‘students’. Just. keep. them. out.
Got Muslims? Got JIhad. Time to STOP playing “Muslim roulette’ with the lives of American infidels.
Tweet your President with that, once a week, all of you.
If *thousands* of you do it… and follow up with short written letters making the same points … he might be encouraged to act.
gravenimage says
Very much agree, DDA!
Shoshonnah says
Hmmm. When you wrote “require Muslim communities in the U.S. to renounce jihad violence and the aspects of Sharia that contradict Constitutional freedoms…”, that ignores Islamic Taquiya. ANY Muslim could claim that, and it would be the permissible lie to advance Islam. How would you screen that out?
katherine says
Make EVERY immigrant sign it, Muslim or otherwise – that will encompass even hypocrites who side with Islamic ideals to impose and use sharia law within the US. Include the clause that guarantees the loss of citizenship even after 50 years – to apply to all new citizens.
Santa Voorhees says
Trump orders extreme vetting. Leftist sharia-compliant crybabies’ outrage to commence in 3… 2…. 1…
Shmoovie says
The lack of predicted backlash forever frustrates leftists, media, cair etc. (to the point of having to invent some homemade incidents)— while emboldening wishful jihadists.
Santa Voorhees says
In other words, common sense is just an alien concept to them.
Shmoovie says
Extreme vetting is all good as far as it goes, if the home country has anything to share..
This guy was here from 2010; how many entered before during and after BO’s free-for-all? Wasn’t the US gov’t warned about Tsarnaevs?
Slight OT– Geraldo (“I’m a war correspondent!”) was in normal PC form against Pamela G and Mr. Gorka last night, regarding lack of bollards and other defensive measures. But his saggy-spine couldn’t support the usual ‘accusing all Muslims’ tirade flung at PG and he ended looking foolish.
Leo O Zakharoff says
This Jihadist murderer should be executed AND, all his family must be deported immediately,
along with his extended family as well. They ALL knew what this SOB was planning to do….leo
vyx says
So, there was an Islamic terror attack in the US, and the president did not:
1. Tell me the Islam is a religion of peace
2. Warn me about backlash
Instead, Trump is actually trying to do something to make Americans safer.
I’m stunned and delighted beyond my wildest dreams.
Dawn says
Exactly ! Wish others would see he loves his country all he ever gets is back bite
gravenimage says
Yes–this is a huge step forward.
bat 21 says
September 20/16
John McCallum, Canada’s first minister of Immigration in the Trudeau government, did an interview with CBC regarding refugees coming into Canada.
Quote “I’m thankful to the UN and George Soros for their cooperation with Canada in this initiative, “McCallum added.” George Soros has really shown a great interest in the refugee crisis, and therefore it’s only natural that he is our partner in this venture.”
Canada has been infected with the same cancer that is slowly eating away Europe.
common sense says
Try this. Stop talking. Stop Cuomo, De Botchedio and co from running their traps.
Take real action against this ememy while saying nothing, let the Muslims complain later. The Muslims always know who their own bad actors are.
AnneM says
President Trump, put out MORE EO’S in order to fight the Islamofacists.
Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
Just keep them out. The inconvenience of a few for the security of all.
gravenimage says
Trump orders more “extreme vetting” in the wake of NYC jihad massacre
………………..
Yes–more is needed. But this is at least a first good step.
Watch for hysterical push-back from Muslims and Leftists to even this modest proposal, though.
