Canadian Attacks Show North America is at War With Jihad

 Global Jihad: The terrorist shooting near Canada's Parliament isn't the act of a "lone wolf," as the media have reported. It's part of a broader conspiracy — a jihadist insurrection against North America.

And the sooner authorities on both sides of the border start treating it as such, the sooner we'll defeat this growing threat.

Two Muslims killed two Canadian soldiers within two days of each other, bringing to four the number of deadly jihadist attacks by Muslim fanatics on North American soil in recent months.

After learning the Parliament shooter, Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, was the sole shooter, Canadian officials concluded he was not part of a larger terrorist operation.

But just two days before Muslim convert Zehaf-Bibeau pumped four bullets into a reserve soldier standing guard at a Montreal war memorial, another Muslim convert, Martin Couture-Rouleau, rammed his car into two Canadian soldiers, killing one. He told a 911 operator he was acting in the name of Allah.

Both terrorists had lost their passports after authorities found out they were trying to travel overseas to join the Islamic State. Yet both were released from custody, and despite a heightened terror alert, no additional security was put in place around the Parliament building.

America has seen its own deadly attacks by Muslims citing jihad as motivation; and even so, our authorities are blind to the growing threat within our borders.

Most have heard of Alton Nolen, a convert to Islam who beheaded one co-worker and tried to decapitate another in Oklahoma City. Nolen, a regular at the local mosque, posted photos of IS beheadings and Osama bin Laden and warned "Shariah law is coming." Still, authorities called his act of terrorism "workplace violence."

But most Americans probably haven't heard of Ali Muhammad Brown, a devout Seattle Muslim who invoked Islam after going on a multistate killing spree that ended last month with the shooting of a Christian teen in New Jersey. Brown said he gunned down 19-year-old Brenden Tevlin to avenge U.S. military action in Iraq, Afghanistan and other Muslim states.

Brown told investigators, "All these lives are taken every single day by America, by this government; so a life for a life." He explained that "jihad is a part of our religion," and warned that the Islamic caliphate proclaimed by IS will one day bring Islamic rule to the U.S.

Meanwhile, hundreds of American Muslims have joined IS overseas, and dozens more have been arrested in the attempt, including Muslim girls seeking to wed these violent fanatics. German authorities earlier this week busted three Colorado teen girls traveling to Syria after the FBI flagged their passports.

The FBI and Homeland Security issued a joint bulletin to police warning them about terrorist targeting. But the advisory generically warns law enforcement to be on the lookout for "homegrown violent extremists motivated by violent extremist ideologies."

All this thanks to the administration's bleaching of Islam from FBI counterterror training and apparently from terror alerts as well.

Stop this PC madness. We need to declare war on Islamic jihad.
