News Flash--It’s a Global Jihad

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.  

Wondering whether we confront a global jihad, consider what nearly happened in Australia last week: Authorities there say that fifteen Islamic State operatives planned to kidnap and behead random Australians. Others were preparing to do the same to lawmakers and officials in Canberra.

Incredibly, at about that time, bipartisan majorities in the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate were authorizing  President Obama to arm and train so-called “moderate rebels” in Syria. It’s as if the threat is just one jihadist franchise – albeit a particularly nasty one, namely the Islamic State back in the Levant.

If we are ever to succeed in defeating this enemy – and protect Americans and their friends from jihadists – we need to acknowledge the Free World is under assault globally. Pretending otherwise will just get more of us killed.
