Before You Blame Islam For Cali. Attack, Here’s The One Thing EVERYONE Missed

Sean Brown

There’s been much speculation about the motive of the California terror attack that happened on Wednesday, but very few people have talked about what’s actually to blame. But before you go and blame Islam for it, there’s something that everyone seems to have overlooked.

As we all know, the motive for the actual attack hasn’t been released by authorities, but it’s pretty clear to the rest of us that it was an Islamic terror attack. However, it wasn’t Islam that allowed this to happen on our soil – it was us.

There’s a widely circulated story out about the neighbors of Sayed Farook, the man responsible for the heinous attack at a healthcare facility for disabled people, which details how they had witnessed suspicious activity at the home for months before Wednesday’s incident. They could have reported it, and in hindsight, they knew they should have. Because they were afraid of being labeled racist, they kept their mouths shut, which underscores a much larger issue in our nation.

Farook’s neighbors refused to report suspicious activity because they knew they would be labeled as racist if nothing came from an investigation. Well, why is that? Could it be that when a Muslim boy brought a hoax bomb to school, the people who investigated it were crucified in the media? Maybe. Could it be that when someone raises suspicion about anyone Islamic, there’s a public smear campaign to destroy their character and label them Islamophobic? Probably. Could it be that when anybody speaks negatively about any minority at all, they’re crucified in the public square? More than likely.

But regardless of the specific incident that influenced their decision, the fact remains that political correctness was ultimately the cause for them not acting. As a result, 14 people were sacrificed at the progressive altar, all so that people wouldn’t be offended.

Think about it. Our president refuses to say “Islamic extremism” out of fear of offending people. The media refuses to say “radical Islam” for the same reason, and progressives in general vilify anyone who says anything remotely critical of Muslims. Even today, Barack Obama was hesitant to say that yesterday’s attack was terror related, despite the overwhelming evidence that it was, because he didn’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. This is all the result of political correctness, and as we saw, it put everyone at risk.

Yes, we can blame Islam for the attack yesterday, the attacks in Paris, and the countless other terror attacks across the globe, and in my opinion, we would be justified. However, we shouldn’t be so quick to blame people doing what their religion compels them to do, because we knew they were going to do it, and we didn’t do anything to stop it. We knew they were going to do it because they told us they were going to do it. They promised us they would, and they did. Maybe not Farook specifically, but as we saw with him, we have no way of telling who’s “moderate” or “peaceful” and who isn’t, but since we’re not allowed to speak truthfully because the left-wing media machine will pounce, our own people were afraid to report what they saw out of fear of unjust repercussion.

So now, instead of blaming Muslims for doing exactly what they said they were going to, we should be blaming ourselves, and the fact that despite knowing their intentions, we turned a blind eye, and 14 people were killed. If we don’t start being honest with ourselves about the threat from extremists, we can’t ever expect to keep our people safe.
