Islam IS the problem

Mark Steyn:

And so, on a buckled, broken bicycle on the Hudson River Greenway, the wheel comes full circle. America and every other major western nation thought the appropriate response to 9/11 was to show how nice we are by dramatically increasing the rate of mass Muslim immigration. Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov was among the many beneficiaries of the west's suicide by virtue-signaling. "Sayfullo" is a Central Asian rendering of "Saifallah" - or "Sword of Allah". Hmm, what a fascinating name! Do you think whichever brain-dead bureaucrat who gave Sword of Allah's online Green Card application the once-over (assuming anyone did) so much as gave the name a second glance? And so, because we did not take an act of war seriously in 2001, we are relentlessly harassed and diminished by unending micro-jihad - in Copenhagen, in Toulouse, in San Bernadino, in Calgary, Barcelona, Parsons Green ...and now on a bike path 300 feet from where we came in sixteen years ago.

There are a lot of things politicians don't understand. The list, in fact, is far too long to get into. But among the things they understand least is the fact the the public does not have infinite patience. Eventually we will take matters into our own hands.

Islam is a clear and present danger to Western civilization. Islam is the problem.

Not guns.

Not bombs.

Not airplanes.

Not rental trucks.

ISLAM.
