Frankfurt, No Terrorism to See Here

I am in travel today and the next few days, so do not have much time to post so will just point you to a good article or two.  It has been while since Mark Steyn has been publishing his wisdom and wit for us.  I see that National Review has a new article from him, which has all the sharp truth, humor and excellent writing one gets used to with Steyn.  He writes about the latest “Allahu akbar!” incident, in which a German  Muslim of Kosovo parents shot and killed two American servicemen at the Frankfurt airport last weekend.

Steyn writes:

Men and women “in uniform” (which it’s not clear these airmen were even wearing) understand they may be called upon to make “extraordinary sacrifices” in battle. They do not expect to be “lost” on the shuttle bus at the hands of a civilian employee at a passenger air terminal in an allied nation. But then I don’t suppose their comrades expected to be “lost” at the hands of an army major at Fort Hood, to cite the last “tragic event” that “took place” — which seems to be the president’s preferred euphemism for a guy opening fire while screaming “Allahu akbar!” But relax, this fellow in Frankfurt was most likely a “lone wolf” (as Sen. Chuck Schumer described the Times Square bomber) or an “isolated extremist” (as the president described the Christmas Day Pantybomber). There are so many of these “lone wolves” and “isolated extremists” you may occasionally wonder whether they’ve all gotten together and joined Local 473 of the Amalgamated Union of Lone Wolves and Isolated Extremists, but don’t worry about it: As any Homeland Security official can tell you, “Allahu akbar” is Arabic for “Nothing to see here.”

Steyn goes on to his sad but true demographic analysis of where things are heading.  It is worth reading as a whole.
