FBI remains premier law enforcement agency. Despite how trump trashes them.

Most of the FBI does good work. There are some, likely in leadership, who dwell in the swamp.

You are correct. Muslims only commit terrorist attacks at a rate ten - 20 times their proportional representation in the country as a whole.



Surely this means we should absolve the shared ideology for what its adherents do with it.

Officials have stopped a man who reportedly stated that "Christmas was the perfect day" for a terror attack in San Francisco and "did not need an escape plan because he was ready to die."

We've learned the FBI has arrested a man by the name of Everitt Aaron Jameson from Modesto. They say he wanted to target Pier 39.

...
The documents also say Jameson was posting and liking pro-ISIS and pro-terrorism content on Facebook.
And according to the documents, the suspect was discharged from the Marine Corps. He had prior military experience with a "sharpshooter" rifle qualification and expertise with rifle marksmanship.


Kudos to the authorities.
I read somewhere that for every terrorist attack that gets through, the government claims that they are preventing about 6.

Meanwhile, NYC is on high alert for possible threats to churches this Sunday... Religion of Peace?

What a surprise. Instantaneous default to identity politics. The real important issue - a thwarted terror attack - apparently falls down much lower on your priority list than making snarky potshots based on identity.

Maybe definitely your priorities could use some readjustment.

That is correct. Ideology of the thwarted attackers is irrelevant since their goals are all the same (mass death).

San Franciscans don't support people looking to commit mass murder. Where do you get that idea from? Don't believe everything you read on the Internet...

Northern California area seems to support Islamic terrorist organizations over USA and Israel, especially in Berkeley. Wave the flags of Hezbolla or ISIS and they praise you. Wave the flag of USA or Israel and they attack you.
