The mainstream media is reacting to Monday’s Islamic terror attack in Columbus, Ohio in typical fashion: Indecisive hand-wringing.

They’re so afraid to hurt feelings, they won’t expose the alarming truth — there’s a growing epidemic of homegrown Islamic terror in Columbus, Ohio.

And unless something is done, it’s going to get worse.

Monday’s savage attack followed a shockingly similar playbook of refugee knife attacks carried out by ISIS-inspired Islamic terrorists when a blade-wielding Islamic terrorist, allegedly a 20-year-old Somali-born American citizen, Abdul Razak Artan, from the nearby refugee community, seriously wounded a number of students at Ohio State University with a car and large knife before being killed by responding police officers.

The mainstream media will excuse the event as an isolated incident.

The liberal press will call Abdul Artan a “lone wolf” and insist his motives are unclear. The television news talking heads will say he was just an isolated and angry and afraid young man.

That’s because they’re afraid of the truth.

Monday’s terror attack is just the latest in a decade of Islamic terror plots that are all directly linked to the Somali-refugee community in Columbus, Ohio.

In fact, this isn’t even the first time this year that a Somali refugee hacked people with a large knife in Columbus. In February 2016, The Horn News reported that a Somali-born Islamic terrorist stormed a Jewish-owned restaurant in the same city and brutally slashed four people with a machete.

In 2015, a 23-year-old Somali-born man from that same refugee community, Abdirahman Mohamud, was arrested in Columbus for plotting an ISIS-inspired attack on local American soldiers.

Mohamud’s older brother, Abdifatah Aden, left their community in Columbus to join the Islamic radical group Al Nursa and was killed fighting in Syria in 2014.

In 2010, a Columbus resident was one of at least a dozen Somali-born refugees who was accused of supporting an Al Qaeda-linked group in Somalia, 10TV News reported.

And in 2007, yet another Columbus-based, Somali-born refugee, Nuradin Abdi, was convicted of conspiring with an Al Qaeda terror cell to bomb a Columbus shopping mall while providing material support to the organization.

According to the Federal Office of Refugee Resettlement, central Ohio has the second largest Somali refugee population in the U.S., second behind Minneapolis — where in September The Horn News reported on a Somali-born refugee dressed as a private security guard, entered a local mall wielding a kitchen knife and began slashing and stabbing anyone he could get his hands on, asking victims if they were Muslim before attacking.

Of course, that Minnesota knife attack was not an isolated incident either. The terror attack followed an almost identical pattern of Islamic extremism that links straight back to the Somali-refugee community in that area as well.

It’s time to stop calling these “lone wolf” attacks, and start calling them what they are — a serious problem. These refugee communities are breeding grounds for Islamic terror.

It’s an uncomfortable truth to talk about, because not all Somali-born refugees are terrorists. In fact, most are good and honest people.

But history as proven, a handful are Islamic extremists butchers that want to kill innocent people.

The longer the media ignores that undeniable truth, the more Americans will be hurt and killed by these handful of jihadists we’re intentionally resettling into our country.

Again, it bears repeating: Not all Somali-born refugees are terrorists.

But ignoring the clear pattern of Islamic terror cells linked to their refugee communities is intellectually dishonest.

And it’s only going worse. Just four days ago, WND reported that, “Obama fast-tracks plan to take Muslim migrants rejected by Australia.”

Can you guess where many of these refugees are from?

If you said Somali, you’re terrifyingly correct.
