Discrimination, vilification, and isolation that american muslims face in these challenging times. now i have an ask. it is an ask of the people in this room and all muslims across this country. terrorist organizations overseas have targeted your communities. they seek to pull your youth into the pit of violent extremism. help us to help you stop this. if you see something, say something. this is more than a slogan. if you see someone turning toward violence, say something. say something to law enforcement. or to one of you in your community, or your religious leaders. when people self-radicalize, someone close to them is almost always in a position to see the ....
Speech and one plank of it was freedom from fear. we cannot in the united states be held in hostage really or in a permanent state of fear due to islamic terrorism. and i think the president has to be a cautious, not over prom missing when he can deliver. premind us what we re doing. are our air strikes working in syria or are they not? what s the game plan? i don t think anyone knows what our strategy is in the middle east. tonight is an opportunity to articulate that. david gergen, on this point. does this need to be is a strategy, sort of military speech, if you will? or does this need to be a speech that addresses that but also addresses sort of muslims in this country growing anti-muslim rhetoric, the refugee debate? does he address all three or is it not object that tonight? i think he needs to address what s going on here at home with people who self radicalize, people who get on the internet and go over to this radical ....
Almost a million of them here in the u.s. those are the people who respond to the individuals that are generally self-radicalized. so many with whom i speak say these individuals who self-radicalize, these lone wolves, you can t really find them unless and until they rear their ugly heads, but al qaeda on al qaeda, you can keep an eye. that s right. so right now there is an operational distinction that i think can be made and i think you re seeing as you pointed out a fight over the budget around this. because you can find the al qaeda types because to congregate, they have to come together and train, they have to build explosives, they have to come together and because they re forcibly moving around and talking to each other, that s where we can catch them using wire intercepts and some of our human assets. but these individual one-off single persons who self-radicalize, don t tell anyone, don t make a video, don t leave anything behind, just go out and seemingly randomly start ....
You say what? i think unfortunately the administration and most of the national media is now complicit in just denying the era that we re in. it s an era of digital prop began and online recruit independent the global jihadi movement. of course there s a lot we don t know about chattanooga. but we don t fight just wars against state actors. we have nonstate actors, and isis and al qaeda organizations like that are going to continue to evolve, and the administration pretends if there s not a work order that gives a specific terrorist a specific target at a specific moment, that maybe it s not connected to the globe jihadi movement. your listeners should look at the inspire magazine online and see the way these organizations are shifting toward awareness of soft targets and directing people to self-radicalize and attack. there s a lot we don t know about chattanooga yet but what we do know is that the era we re entering is going to have loot ....
Saw in tunisia? yes. historically that s been the case. it s much more likely just based on statistics that if there is an attack here in the homeland of course 9/11 and others notwithstanding, they tend to be lower level casualty attacks, not always the case. we tend to see individuals who self-radicalize and don t have the kind of training that was on display with this person who had some tactics and techniques he used in tunisia to shoot a bunch of people on a beach and unarmed. he obviously had rehearsed some of this and had some understanding what he was going to do. he didn t just grab the nearest sharp object and try to stab somebody something we have seen on u.s. oilsoil. there is always a sense of heightened risk when there s a big holiday this time of year. they have no specific threat planning means exactly that. it is a period because it is ramadan and jihadists say that s a time there should be an enhanced effort of jihad. it is also near the one ye ....
