Putin calls for broad international anti-terror front

AP News / Townhall News

MOSCOW (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin called Thursday for "one powerful fist" to fight terrorism, hinted at more sanctions against Turkey and accused Western powers of creating "a zone of chaos."

Speaking in his live state-of-the-nation address, Putin called for an end to what he called double standards that hampered uniting global efforts in fighting terrorism. Without naming the United States, he accused Washington and its allies of turning Iraq, Syria and Libya into a "zone of chaos and anarchy threatening the entire world" by supporting change of regimes in those countries.

Putin didn't address efforts to start a peace process in Syria in his speech, focusing on the need to pool global efforts in the fight against terrorism following the attacks in Paris and the downing of a Russian passenger plane in Egypt. The IS has claimed responsibility for both.

"We must leave all arguments and disagreements behind and make one powerful fist, a single anti-terror front, which would work on the basis of international law under the aegis of the United Nations," he said, addressing lawmakers and top officials in an ornate Kremlin hall. "That means no shelter to bandits, no double standards, no contacts whatsoever with any terrorist organizations, no attempts to use them for some selfish goals, no criminal, bloody business with terrorists."

Giuliani on San Bernardino Attack: If You Can't Tell It's an Act of Terror, You're a 'Moron'

While there is still much to be learned about Wednesday’s mass shooting in San Bernardino, Calif., there’s certainly enough to call it a terrorist attack, according to former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

And if you can’t come to that conclusion, well, you’re a “moron,” he says.

“The question here is not, is it an act of terror? We’re beyond that. When you’ve got two assault weapons, two handguns, you’re in body armor, you got a home that’s booby-trapped. You’ve been practicing to do this.  Sure, it may have been motivated by some argument in a party, but this is a premeditated act of terror,” he told Bill Hemmer on Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom.”

“It may or may not have been,” Hemmer countered. “If you put the pieces together, his wife drove the vehicle to the facility in all likelihood because that’s why he left the meeting and went outside. And perhaps that’s when he changed and got armored-up. Does that make sense to you?”

“It makes sense to me that it’s an act of terror,” said Giuliani.  “If you can’t come to the conclusion at this point that this is an act of terror, you should find something else to do for a living than being in law enforcement. I mean, you’re a moron.”

“This is an act of terror without any question,” he continued.  “Two assault weapons, two handguns, booby-trapped home, body armor, a home that looks like they were preparing for war or some kind of battle. So, it’s an act of terror.”

Obama on SB: “We do not yet know why this terrible event occurred”

Meanwhile, Farook is described in this piece as a “devout Muslim” at a time when devout Muslims are waging war against the U.S. and calling for strikes against civilians inside the country. Yes, not all devout Muslims are waging this war, but the idea that his motive is a mystery is absurd. If a German […]

Obama blames the victims: “We have to search ourselves as a society.”

Pamela Geller / Atlas Shrugs

Obama is wrong, but he’s right. It is not America, but the Islamic world that must search itself and self-reflect. Islam and its adherents must search themselves as a society. The ummah (the worldwide Muslim community) needs to search itself. They don’t. They have no impetus to do that. Their hatred, violence and supremacism are sanctioned by a cowed West. They are winning. Obama’s asinine comment reflects that. It is the language of the conquered.

We are free — we live in the greatest country in the world based on individual rights and freedom. If we have to search ourselves, it’s because this country elected this plant twice. If we have to search ourselves, it’s because this country has bought into the...

Op-ed:
Paris Revisited on America Soil
By: Diane Sori / The Patriots Factor / Right Side Patriots

“Three lions made us proud,” said one Tweet…“California streets are full with soldiers with heavy weapons. The Unites States is burning #America_Burning.”
- ISIS adherents praising San Bernardino massacre

They came prepared for the qur'an commanded war of jihad...collateral damage be damned...as a husband and wife killing team slaughtered 14 innocent people* and wounded 21 others before being killed after a police chase where they used 'military tactics' against and fired 76 rifle rounds at the police. Wearing GoPro cameras to record and then hopefully post their murderous rampage, they did so following in the footsteps of several jihadists in Europe who have worn cameras during their bloody attacks and then posted for the world to see the truth about islam that most muslims themselves refuse to see...the truth that islam equates with NOTHING but death.

And so in the deadliest mass shooting in this country since 26 people...mostly children...were slaughtered at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut...Syed Rizwan Farook (Farooq Saeed in Arabic), a U.S. citizen who in 2013 travelled to Saudi Arabia on the Hajj, and his wife Tashfeen Malik...whom Syed brought to America in 2014 from Saudi Arabia via a Pakistani passport and who was here under a K1 visa... went to the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino, a place dedicated to helping people with developmental disabilities, where a Christmas party was underway for Farook's fellow San Bernardino Public Health Department employees.

Farook, an environmental health specialist, left the party under circumstances that survivors described as “angry,” and returned a short time later with his wife...both now wearing masks, tactical clothing, and body armor...to open fire...to a tune of between 65 to 75 rounds out of the 1,600 rounds they had stuffed on their person...on the party-goers with legally bought (possibly out of state) .223-caliber assault rifles and semi-automatic handguns. They also left three explosive devices rigged to a remote-controlled toy car inside the building before fleeing in the black SUV that thankfully did NOT go off.

And even before the blood had a chance to dry, Obama wanted 'We the People' to "Rest assured that we will get to the bottom of this," as he and his minions started concocting their cover story to try and protect the brethren by saying that a clear motive in the shooting had NOT yet truly been established, but that it might very well be what he called a possible “combination of terrorism and workplace violence.” And to that I say 'NO way' as this was a premeditated and cleverly orchestrated terrorist attack with more in the making as the couple spent over $30,000 on thousands of rounds of ammunition...including 2000-9mm rounds and 2,500 high-caliber .223mm rounds...and 12 pipe bombs along with tools for making IEDs...all found in their Redlands, California home...a home from which F.B.I. investigators also removed thumb drives, cellphones, and other electronic devices.

Terrorism plain and simple...so simple that even a blind man could see it.

“We’re very involved in terms of trying to see if the motive was something inspired by a terrorist organization or directed by a terrorist organization, or whether [Syed Farook] was self-radicalized,” said a police source whose very words negate the entire 'workplace' violence scenario Obama hopes we'll believe. But whether Farook was directed to do what he did or if he was self-radicalized is NOT the issue, as some continue to miss or simply do NOT want to see what the true issue is...that being islam and its anything but holy book...the qur'an...the very book that commands these jihadis to do what they do. And when you have those in power who vehemently insist that islamic terrorism... that acts of jihad...have NOTHING to do with islam...you can see why incidents like this will continue to happen.

Continue to happen even as the F.B.I. has uncovered evidence that both Farook and his wife searched online for ISIS propaganda and that Farook was in electronic contact...via phone and social media...with people overseas who were 'on the radar' of U.S. national security officials, and that he also had contact with designated 'islamic extremists' here in our own country over the past several years, including at least one person in the U.S. who was recently investigated by federal authorities for suspected terrorism. And yet Farook himself slipped through the cracks as his name does NOT appear on any terrorist watch list...and get this...on September 30, 2014, the couple applied for a permanent resident green card for Malik, which requires passing criminal and national security background checks and she was granted a conditional green card in July 2015...nice huh...in light of the fact that we now are on the verge of Obama letting 10,000 unvetted Syrian anything-but refugees into our country. I just wonder how many jihadis will be in that bunch.

And to add insult to injury, late Wednesday, Farook's brother-in-law, Farhan Khan, appeared at a press conference standing along side members of the terrorist supporting 'Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) for Greater LA,' saying he had NO idea why Farook would carry out such an attack. "I just cannot express how sad I am for what happened today," Kahn said all while he watched...and NEVER reported...Farook's radical turn over the past two years when he became more religious, started embracing extremist ideology, grew the typical jihadi beard, and started wearing the garb of the extremists complete with the long shirt and the head cap worn at all times including while he was at work.

Grievous for sure as is Obama's continuing to spew out the same tired old rhetoric calling for measures to make it harder for people to acquire weapons...bad bad guns...including to do better background checks...the same rhetoric he spewed after the mass shootings in Newtown, Connecticut; Tucson, Arizona; Fort Hood, Texas; Charleston, South Carolina; and Colorado Springs, Colorado; amongst others... rhetoric that has done NOTHING and will do NOTHING to stop those focused on doing violence from doing so.

“We should come together in a bipartisan basis at every level of government to make these rare as opposed to normal,” Obama said adding that “The one thing we do know is that we have a pattern now of mass shootings in this country that has no parallel anywhere else in the world. And there’s some steps we could take, not to eliminate every one of these mass shootings, but to improve the odds that they don’t happen as frequently.” NO parallel anywhere in the world he said...guess 132 dead and over 300 wounded in Paris at the hands of his brethren means NOT a thing as per his personal islamic-supporting, caliphate building agenda.

And the islamic world...more specifically islam itself with its anything-but holy qur'an...is the true root cause of the bloodshed NOT only in San Bernardino, but in Paris, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, and any and every place that islam's tentacles reach. And while Obama and the liberal left try to blame the terrorism engulfing today's world on the ongoing poverty and oppression in the islam-dominated cesspools of countries, coupled with what he considers bad American foreign policy and Israel's very existence, the true cause of islamic terrorism is that ever since 632 AD, the qur'an has commanded islam's followers to kill all who do NOT follow islam's ways. Now couple that with the simple fact that most in the islamic world do NOT believe in democracy, free speech, freedom of religion, free enterprise, or even in basic human rights...and you can see that islam...that islamic terrorism...is driven ever forward by hate, subjugation, all-encompassing autocracy, and a deep-seated quest for blood, as only in the spilling of blood do islamists...do cowards...see themselves as the victors.

Living in an illogically-based world of self-perceived irrational grievances helps to fuel the hate which in turn pushes islamic terrorism to the limits...with the true bottom-line being that there exists a serious division between the islamic and the Western world...one a world based upon the Bible...a book of peace, love, and acceptance, and the other a world based upon a book of violence, intimidation, and war. And until that book is changed...or is done away with in its entirety...terrorism will sadly be the order of the day as the world is now being overrun with 7th century barbarians equipped with 21st weapons.

And as more people embrace islam...whether willingly or by force...the more fanaticism, extremism, and acts of terrorism will result, especially when the West's leaders refuse to understand the ramifications of the people and the ideology they are embracing...especially when the free-world has as its titular head one Barack HUSSEIN Obama who practices what the enemy preaches...especially when you have an American Congress too afraid to say 'NO' to Obama's wanting to bring into our country more of his unvetted brethren... unwanted by the majority of Americans who see the enemy our nation faces in the likes of Obama himself...as well as in the likes of Sayed Farook, Nidal Hassan, Alton Alexander Nolen, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, and the 19 jihadis that changed our country forever on a sunny day in September.

Muslims all and we do NOT need any more tainting our Judeo-Christian nation nor the fabric of our American society.

And soon San Bernardino will become just another sad footnote in America's story, just as Paris will get buried under a sure to come islamic invasion, we remain blinded to the truth that to stop more San Bernardino's...to stop any more Paris' from happening...means purging the cancer that is islam from the body of the world's populace... means doing to islam what islam wants to do to Israel...means slapping the kumbaya sorts upside their liberal heads and getting them to understand that it is either 'them' or 'us' that wins this war...and I sure hope it is us for we owe that to the next generations whose fight this should NEVER be.

May the 14 heroes of yesterday's attack 'Rest in Everlasting Peace' and may those who committed this horrific act burn in the fires of hell forever...and take all who condone and make excuses for it with them.
