By: David Ingram Federal officials have warned authorities in New York City, Texas and Virginia about an unspecific threat of attacks by al Qaeda militants around Election Day, putting local law enforcement on alert days before the vote, officials said on Friday. A U.S. government source in Washington said some federal agencies sent bulletins to local and state officials flagging the information but that the threat was relatively low level.

Feel like taking a break from all the Mizzou/Yale/Smith/Ithaca College stuff? Yeah, me too. We've got a story from our friends at The Minnesota Republic that deals with none of those universities: U. of Minnesota student govt: 9/11 remembrance would violate our safe space. Yup, you read that right. Theo Menon, the student group representative to MSA for the College Republicans (CRs) at UMN, introduced the resolution; MSA’s forum voted against it 36-23 (with three abstentions). The proposed resolution pointed to the university’s lack of any sort of commemoration regarding the attacks on 9/11 and called for a campus-wide moment of recognition on every September 11.

By: ROBERT SPENCER Clearly the jihadis are more emboldened than ever. Clearly the Islamic State’s declaration of the caliphate has been an impetus for renewed jihad terror activity in the West. That there has been and can be no honest public discussion of why this is happening only ensures that it will continue, and grow more virulent. (CNSNews.com) – The “Terror Threat Snapshot” for August 2015, released by the majority staff of the House Homeland Security Committee, states the terror threat level in America is high and “getting steadily worse,” and that there have been “more U.S.-based jihadist terror cases in 2015 than in any full year since 9/11.” The “Terror Threat Snapshot” also reported that the Islamic State “is fueling the Islamist terror” globally; that Islamist terrorists “are intent on killing law enforcement” officers and U.S. troops, as well as civilians; and that 25,000 fighters from 100 countries have traveled to Syria and Iraq to join the Islamic State. In addition, more than 250 Americans have traveled, or attempted to travel, to Syria to fight with the Islamists.  Source: Jihad Watch
BY ROBERT SPENCER “Since Al Shabaab began recruiting Minnesota’s youth in 2006, the Twin Cities have been a focus of overseas terror recruiting by organizations like the Islamic State for Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). This cycle of terror recruiting has exclusively targeted Minnesota’s Somali community.” And now, even after this jihad recruitment has been going on for nearly ten years, all government and law enforcement efforts to stop it are doomed to fail, because they do not and will not address the belief system that leads young Somalis from Minneapolis to join the jihad. They don’t go because they don’t have jobs. They go because they believe in the righteousness of waging jihad for the sake of Allah. But authorities refuse to consider that, and as they keep misdiagnosing the problem, their remedies will keep on failing.  Source: NY Post
By Paul Sperry September 6, 2015 | 6:00am Not all of us will be mourning 9/11 victims and their families this Friday on the 14th anniversary of the attacks. Hundreds of college kids across the country will instead be taught to sympathize with the terrorists. That’s because their America-hating leftist professors are systematically indoctrinating them into believing it’s all our fault, that the US deserved punishment for “imperialism” — and the kids are too young to remember or understand what really happened that horrific day.

Author: Jason Howerton Leading up to the somber anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, there are fresh fears of possible 9/11-style attacks taking place across North Africa as radical Islamist groups in Libya have reportedly seized nearly a dozen commercial airliners in the last month. While counterterrorism officials are reportedly concerned that the missing jetliners could be used by terrorists to carry out deadly attacks, the timing of the theft is also setting off alarms. The concern is that radical Islamist groups will use the planes to mark the anniversary of the deadly 9/11 attacks, according to alleged intelligence reports disseminated within the U.S. government. Reports that Islamist militias have seized the jetliners come just weeks before the 13th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.  Source: The Washington Times
By Douglas Ernst The U.S. intelligence community has observed a “significant increase” in chatter among terrorist organizations as the 13th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks nears. “We’ve noticed a significant increase in chatter among Islamic terrorist organizations overseas both on the Internet and phone lines,” a U.S. government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The Blaze. While the intelligence community can not pinpoint whether or not an attack is planned, the official said that agencies “did see this kind of increase in chatter before the September 11 attacks.”  Author: Patrick Goodenough
(CNSNews.com) – Days before the National September 11 Memorial Museum opens in New York, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is stepping up its campaign to urge organizers to edit a video presentation on al-Qaeda, to remove terms such as “Islamist extremism” and “jihadism.” An earlier CAIR initiative – a letter last month co-signed by several other Muslim and Arab-American organizations, complaining to museum directors about what they called “academically controversial terminology” – met with no success. On Monday CAIR’s New York chapter began asking “all Americans” to lobby national and New York leaders on the issue. Source:Liberal America
Author: Dylan Hock According to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) nearly 100 murders have been linked back to one far-right, White Nationalist website — Stormfront.org — a flawed and misguided website that claims to promote the values of “the embattled white minority.”  The New York Times did a big write-up on the latest developments on the now-scrapped Ground Zero mosque plan.
The notorious provocateur, Ground Zero mosque developer Sharif el-Gamal, unveiled a new plan to build a three-story museum “dedicated to exploring the faith of Islam.” |
