A recent report by British intelligence reminds us that – while we may not be interested in jihadist terrorism in a time of COVID-19 and a growing awareness of the larger threats posed by the Chinese Communist Party that brought us this pandemic – Sharia-supremacists are still interested in us, in the worst sort of way.

According to the Times of London, Britain’s internal security service, MI5, has just nearly doubled to 43,000 the number of potential terrorist operatives it has to worry about. That’s concerning for the Brits, of course. But it should be a warning to us, too.

As thousands of American convicts are being freed lest they get sick while imprisoned, we need to know: How many of them became jihadists in jail? Due to aggressive Muslim Brotherhood recruitment in our prisons, the answer surely is not none – and that’s a problem.
