Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, a prison convert to Islam, recently murdered one US Soldier at a Little Rock, AR recruiting center and seriously injured another. According to ABC new, "The recent convert (converted while in prison) to Islam who allegedly shot and killed a U.S. soldier at a Little Rock, Ark., recruiting booth had ties to a number of global locations linked to extremists, including Yemen, Somalia and Columbus, Ohio, ABC News has learned. Columbus, Ohio, has been an area of domestic concern for authorities who have observed a number of Somali Americans traveling from there to Somali to wage jihad.”

No explanation has been found to explain how this man accumulated enough funds to do these travels, nor whom he met with on these visits. As those of you who have traveled internationally, setting up flights to first Yemen and then onto Somalia for extended stays in both countries costs real money. Not to mention the fact that he returned to the US with a Somalia passport.

This follows less than two weeks after the Riverdale Synagogue bombing attempts (actually an attack on a synagogue and a Jewish center) that were thwarted by the FBI. Three of the four men involved were prison converts; the fourth was a son of immigrants from Afghanistan.

Two things concern me about our reaction to these acts of terror. First, they have received little coverage and the press has largely refrained from calling these acts, Islamic terrorism although they were clearly that. Second, Our President quickly went on record condemning the killing of Dr. Tiller, as he should, but said noting about the murder of a US Army soldier by a terrorist, right here in the United States.

My concern is that we are being less than honest with ourselves through political correctness and consequently not facing the very real threats to our society. The killing of Dr. Tiller by a nut (and yes I favor ‘right to life and in my mind this requires absolute opposition to the death penalty) is both an unfortunate and tragic; although, thankfully, a relatively isolated event. Islamic terrorism is an ongoing threat not to just a few individuals, but our entire society.
