As President Obama calls for gun control, making himself and his like-minded cronies look ever more foolish and out of touch with reality on the issue of the jihadist threat to the American public, experts are concluding that defending against mass shootings in public places is nearly impossible.

That leaves us regrettably dependent on the likes of Obama, and on political and security policy to crack down on messages of hate and death being routinely preached from Sharia-adherent mosques and Islamic centers. So the question becomes, how formidable are the powers-that-be in securing our safety and Western freedoms? We’re weak.

A big part of the problem resides in the ideological realms, where Westerners are unable or unwilling to grasp jihadist zeal and the deceptive promotion of the word “Islamophobia” to protect the jihadist ambitions.

A Canadian imam of a so-called mainstream mosque, referenced in a national newspaper as “Toronto’s million-dollar ‘radical mosque,’” well illustrated the divide between jihadist ideology and Western ideology — to the point of disobeying laws.

Imam Aly Hindy of the Salaheddin Islamic Centre said: “Illegal means illegal in Islam, not illegal in the Canadian law”. He was referring to “illegal sexual acts” in a disparaging talk against homosexuals.

Leftist enablers and jihadist sympathizers are walking right into the enemy trap, enabling the sacrifice of the blood of innocents in this violent (and historic) quest to conquer infidel lands and people.

Making bombs is complicated, so terrorism and mass shooting experts are noting that the use of firearms is likely no coincidence. Gun control unfortunately disarms law-abiding citizens. Even though killers are oftentimes reported as using registered weapons, it isn’t difficult to obtain one illegally. Jihadists also believe in rewards for murdering infidels, and they don’t respect our laws, as Imam Aly Hindi revealed.

A professor in the article below cites a “certain level of satisfaction they can get by shooting people,” over using a bomb. He states that with a bomb, “it’s sudden and over. With shooting, you have tremendous power and control over your victims. One by one you can see them suffer and die.”

This is the monstrous mentality of Islamic jihadists who lurk in our cities. We lock our doors, teach our children about talking to strangers, and most of us try to stay away from crime-ridden parts of town; but we are collectively unprepared for rampaging jihadist lunatics who hate beyond our comprehension. No one knows where or how they will strike next, whether in a group or as a lone wolf. This is not about victimizing innocent Muslims. That is a separate fight. This is about targeting violent Jihadist ideologies and violence against all innocents.
