DHS Report Compares Terrorism To "Ordinary Crime," Omits Islamists February

A new Homeland Security report compares terrorism to "ordinary crime" in
metropolitan U.S. cities and omits the radical Islamic factor, instead
finding "significant variability in the ideologies motivating terrorist
attacks across decades."
This appears to be part of the Obama Administration's Muslim outreach
effort, which includes hiring a special Homeland Security adviser (Mohamed
Elibiary) who supports a radical Islamist theologian and renowned jihadist
ideologue. The Obama Justice Department also created a special Muslim
Engagement Advisory Group to foster greater communication, collaboration and
a new level of respect between law enforcement and Muslim and Arab-American
communities.
And, in 2010, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano held secret
meetings with radical Arab, Muslim, Sikh and South Asian "community
leaders." Judicial Watch uncovered documents from the Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) that includes a list of the individuals who participated,
including radical leaders such as Hezbollah supporter Imad Hamad and
extremist Salam Al-Marayati, founder of the Muslim Public Affairs Council.
Considering this cozy relationship, the new DHS terrorism report should come
as no surprise. It compares terrorist attacks to "ordinary crime" in large,
metropolitan areas which is why the nation's terrorism "hot spots" are
Manhattan, Los Angeles County, Miami-Dade County Florida, San Francisco
County and Washington, D.C. As if to downplay the distinct difference
between crashing a plane into a high-rise and a mugging, the DHS says
"terrorism and ordinary crime occur in many of the same areas."
It stresses that the "Ideological motivation" for terrorist attacks varies
greatly. For instance, the brilliant DHS minds found that certain counties
are prone to a particular type of terrorist attack, including extreme
right-wing, ethno-nationalist/separatist and "religiously motivated," though
no specific religion is mentioned. The report does point out however, that
"religiously motivated attacks occurred predominately in the 1980s."
Terrorism is also linked to social economic status, poverty, residential
instability and "ethnic heterogeneity," a dramatic change in the urban
landscape caused by massive numbers of immigrants. Because neighborhoods
were "rapidly transformed into centers of diversity," the result was not
immediately positive and some turned to terrorism, the DHS report seems to
indicate.
The only mention of Islam is buried deep in the 36-page document as an
example of "those who seek to politicize religion" along with "Christian
Reconstructionists" and those who seek to bring about Armageddon, such as
Jewish Direct Action and Mormon extremists. The study was conducted by the
DHS's National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to
Terrorism (START), a team of social scientists that research the causes and
human consequences of terrorism in the U.S.
