I keep telling everyone that Islamist attacks are a global problem.
Yesterday, police in Melbourne, Australia shot and killed Yacqub Khayre, a Somali born immigrant, who killed one man and took a woman a hostage proclaiming, "This is for IS, this is for al-Qaida.” Australian PM Malcolm Turnbull is now demanding to know why Khayre was released on parole six months ago. Khayre had a long criminal record and had been accused of a 2009 terror plot against an Australian military facility in Sydney, but was acquitted of that charge. It would be interesting to know if Khayre was radicalized in prison.
Today, at Notre Dame Cathedral, a man with a hammer attacked police shouting, "This is for Syria!!!" before being shot. Fortunately, there were no fatalities in this incident.
Paris is more than 10,000 miles away from Melbourne and yet the two attackers might as well have lived next door to each other. They spoke the same language we've heard in New York, Boston, Ottawa, Chattanooga, Orlando, San Bernardino, Fort Hood, Bali, Madrid, Nice, Berlin, Brussels, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Sousse, Ankara, Istanbul, throughout Israel and most recently Manchester and London.
When are we going to finally understand what we are being told?
