Call It What It Is, Bill
Esteban Santiago, aka Aashiq Hammad |
What a surprise. Today it has been confirmed by the FBI that the crazed shooter at Ft. Lauderdale airport was indeed an Islamist terrorist. Esteban Santiago is the New Jersey-born Iraq war veteran of Puerto Rican
descent who killed five people and wounded six others at Fort
Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport in Florida earlier this
month. Citing public records opened last week, Sunshine State News
adds that Santiago converted to Islam and created a “jihadist identity”
for himself, assuming the Islamic name Aashiq Hammad, prior to joining
the U.S. Army. Yet Florida's own Democrat Senator, Bill Nelson, was one of the first to come out in favor of more airport security. That means more invasion of privacy, and more public humiliation for air travelers. Oh, and a lot more gun control. Yeah, that'll work.
Bill, let me enlighten you: Muslims want to kill everyone, including their own. And even just for name calling. That's not just my opinion; it's what they tell us every day. You cannot harden the target enough to dissuade them. You cannot protect against them. You must recognize, engage and eliminate the enemy. You must kill him or be killed. These are the rules of engagement the Muslim enemy himself has enacted. We must fight within those parameters.
Noor Salman, Omar Mateen |
Also today, the FBI arrested the Orlando night club shooter's widow, and she will be charged. She knew, she helped, and she acted as liaison with ISIS directly. A grand jury this month charged Salman
with obstruction of justice and aiding and abetting her husband's
material support to ISIS, the Islamist terror group to which Mateen pledged allegiance in phone calls with 911 and the media before dying in a shootout with police. "She knew he was going to conduct the attack," Assistant US Attorney Roger Handberg told the judge Tuesday.
So Bill, where's your disconnect with this? What more do you need? Shed the insane political correctness you're infected with, and look at the real world.
They are here. Right here in your home state, too.
