U.S.A. -(Ammoland.com)- It seems like every week there is some type of Islamic Extremist attack either in the US, Europe, or Asia.

These despicable attacks kills multiple people every time they happen. At the attack in Manchester, England a sick and twisted monster set off a nail bomb at an Ariana Grande concert. Over 22 people died in the attack, including kids as young as 8 years old.

The suicide bomber, who was a son of refugees, did it in the name of Islam.

This attack brought out an outpouring of sympathy across the globe, but it also brought out the social justice warriors who are more worried about people trying to place the blame of this evil attack on Islam than the kids who were killed in the attack. Katy Perry took this opportunity to give her naive solution to the problem by insisting that we need to co-exist with these monsters. Not only was her solution, to the greatest threat of our time, co-existing, but she also proposed that we can stop sons of refugees from blowing up kids by getting rid of borders, and to love one another.

They also dont care about borders. They sure as hell dont care about co-existing. All they care about is killing innocent people in their sick and twisted quest to get their 72 virgins and ascend to paradise as a martyr. Ms. Perry has been indoctrinated by the PC culture that has spread like a plague throughout the western world.

This PC culture pushes the narrative that it is better to be politically correct than to be safe. What these PC warriors dont understand is that we will never be safe until we call out those that will do us harm. The biggest threat we face as a country is radical Islam, but to the social justice warriors just by pointing this fact out makes you an Islamophobe. They argue that the terrorist are not really Muslims at all and their cowardly attacks have nothing to do with Islam. They also bring up events, like the Spanish Inquisition, that happened hundreds of years ago.

The fact is that these terrorist are real Muslims, and they are killing in the name of Islam. Islam has a pair of cancers named Wahhabism and Salafism. These two extreme forms of Islam are being exported all over the world by our so called allies, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, through the funding of extremist mosques and madrassas. [President Trump is making headway to change this with our allies.] These forms of Islam are turning the calendar back to the dark ages in the Middle East, and this is what they want for the rest of the world. Islam in itself isnt bad, but these two forms of Islam are death cults.

Beirut used to be known as The Paris Of The Middle East. Now it is a war torn city due to the rise of these extremist factions of Islam. Paris is now becoming the Beirut Of Europe, due to the same factors, whether it is a car attack, gunmen, or knife attacks on trains. Europe is in dire peril. It seems like every week there is another terrorist attack somewhere in Europe. This is what the future of the US looks like if we let the SJWs (social justice warriors) run the show.

The PC culture likes to say if we only gave them education and jobs we could stop terrorism.

The lack of education and jobs is what they blame terrorism on, and they believe we can defeat terrorism by providing education and jobs. They believe that these terrorists are not members of a death cult due to a twisted version of Islam, but that isnt what the facts show. In fact the facts do not support this at all, and show the opposite. A study published at Cambridge University, by Alexander Lee, not only disputed this idea but it showed that terrorists are half as likely to not be in poverty than the general population they stem from.

Also an abnormally high number of terrorists have engineering degrees. Even the left wing, New York Times ran an article called The Madrassa Myth which looked at the education of terrorist. What they determined is not only did most have advanced degrees, but most terrorists were from middle class to upper middle class families. Admitting this would put the blame of terrorism on radical Islam so the PC crowd ignores these facts, and if you happen to bring it up, they will call you a racist or a bigot.

The labeling of someone as racist or an Islamophobe is the left's way of shutting down opposing ideas. We have seen this with campaigns against conservative host such as Sean Hannity on Fox. This have also been seen on college campuses with groups like Antifa trying to prevent people like Milo Yiannopoulos, and Gavin McInnes from speaking on campus.

So how can we expect the people that are against liberty and freedom to accept reality?

The reality is that sometimes violence is the answer. The PC people do not want to accept the fact that these evil monsters do not want to co-exist. No amount of education is going to solve Islamic Extremism. No amount of money is going to solve Islamic Extremism. These people dont care about those things. They dont care about life. The only thing they care about is killing as many innocent people as possible. The only way to defeat them is to stop worrying being PC and just kill them.

We, as conservatives and libertarians, need to stop worrying about being labeled. Just being one of those two things is going to get you labeled anyway. We need to speak the truth and call a spade a spade. We will never win this struggle for our children's lives by being PC. We will only win by being real and speaking the truth.

The time to push back is now.

Polls On Political Correctness - Forbes - Forbes

During a Monday interview on Fox News, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) slammed tendencies toward political correctness after terrorist attacks, arguing we have to be clear-eyed about the threat we face abroad.

Cruz told Neil Cavuto that he appreciated the Trump administrations hard stance against terrorism.

He addedthat theObama administration was aware of communicationsbetween radicalized agents and people who would go on to commit terror, such as the Boston Marathon bombers and the Fort Hood shooter, but chose not to act on that information.

With terror attack after terror attack the government has had the communications, intercepted the communications, and it knew about the threat before it occurred but the administration was unwilling to act because of fears of political correctness, Cruz claimed.

He also explained how the Department of Homeland Security during the Obama years underwent a purge to alter or delete over 800 records to remove references to radical Islam or the Muslim Brotherhood.

Listen, that doesnt make any sense, he asserted, to be ignoring the red flags we seeweve gotta be clear-eyed about the threat we face abroad to prevent horrific attacks like the ones weve seen in the UK.

Cruz Slams 'Political Correctness' After London [VIDEO] | The Daily ... - The Daily Caller

In the wake of another deadly terror attack in the United Kingdom, Rep. Peter King (R-NY) says it's time to put political correctness aside and get serious about the threat of radical Islamic terror.

King, a member of the House Homeland Security Committee and chairman of the House Counterterrorism and Intelligence Subcommittee, told Shannon Bream on "America's Newsroom" that all leaders should follow the lead of President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Theresa May and label these attacks "Islamist."

He said there are many counterterrorism actions we must take, but he prioritizes getting surveillance and intelligence on the Muslim community to prevent attacks before they happen.

"I don't know why anyone in the community who wants to stop terrorism would be opposed to that," King said. "We're not talking about breaking and entering, we're not talking about doing anything without warrants."

He said the reality is that we are locked in a war with radical Islamists who want to kill us, and the sooner we acknowledge that the better.

"It's time to put political correctness aside," King said. "That's why I was so pleased yesterday when Prime Minister May used the term 'Islamic extremism.' She used the word 'Islamist,' because that's where the threat it coming from."

Rep. King: 'It's Time to Put Political Correctness Aside' | Fox News ... - Fox News Insider

President Trump on Sunday responded to the London terror attack, suggesting political correctness and the London mayors softresponse are contributing to strikes by radical Islamic terrorists.

Seven people were killed and dozens of others were injured in the two Saturday night attacks on and near the London Bridge. Police are investigating the incidents as terror attacks, but no terror group has yet to claim responsibility.

"We must stop being politically correct and get down to the business of security for our people. If we don't get smart it will only get worse, Trump tweeted first.

The president has from the start of his successful 2016 presidential campaign argued that the key to stopping global terror strikes is to address radical Islamic teachings and being more vigilant about allowing people into the United States from mostly-Muslim countries that are hotbeds for terror training.

"At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is "no reason to be alarmed! Trump also tweeted.

Trump also posted on Twitter about the attacks: Do you notice we are not having a gun debate right now? That's because they used knives and a truck!

A spokesperson for Mayor Sadiq Khan said the mayor is busy working with the police, emergency services and the government" and"has more important things to do than respond to Donald Trump's ill-informed tweet."

Trump assails 'political correctness' in tweet on terror attacks - Fox News

A toxic and deadly political correctness has enveloped Western Europe and enabled an unending wave of terrorist attacks. Refusing to utter the words radical Islamic extremism, opening the door to millions of half-vetted refugees and decrying the concepts of borders and assimilation have resulted in a culture in crisis a culture without democratic, freedom-loving identity and constantly under murderous attack from cancers within.

Seven dead in London. Twenty-two dead in Manchester. Twelve in Berlin. Eighty-seven in Nice. Forty-nine in Orlando. Thousands dead in the Middle East. All in the last year alone.

This is the reality we live in, and yet far too many have chosen to bury their heads in the sand of ignorance.

The fact that last Ramadan the Muslim holy month during which ISIS called for all-out war on infidels an Islamic terrorist attack occurred once every 84 hours. The fact that far-left Chancellor Angela Merkel admitted mistakes in admitting millions of refugees into her country. And the fact that 65 percent of all people convicted of terrorism or terrorism-related offenses in the U.S. were foreign-born, pointing to a clear, inextricable link between immigration and terrorism.

These are facts, in the face of which fictitious falsehoods are embraced.

To be sure, most immigrants are good and most Muslims are peaceful. But responsible leaders must nevertheless acknowledge the radical Islamic extremists that seek to cross our borders and kill our people.

America and Europe face a choice a choice between realism and idealism. While the American people chose the former on Nov. 8 in the election of Donald TrumpDonald TrumpTHE MEMO: Is Trump a victim of the 'Deep State?' London a reminder that deadly political correctness perpetuates terrorism The path to a strong middle class moves forward, not backward MORE, Europe and the establishment political classes in American society consistently choose the latter.

Angela Merkel chose idealism when she lectured President Trump at the NATO headquarters just over a week ago, saying it is not isolation and the building of walls that make us successful. The American courts have chosen idealism in striking down Trumps revised travel pause from seven countries where vetting proves impossible, despite the action being well within Trumps Article II powers. And Congress has chosen idealism in its refusal to allocate money for building a border wall along our southern border.

In stark contrast, President Trump has embraced realism full throttle. In addition to being maligned for his executive order on travel and his border wall, he was mocked by the severely out-of-touch chattering class for a slew of spot-on tweets in the aftermath of the London attacks, warning that [w]e must stop being politically correct and get down to the business of security for our people. And he appropriately chastised London Mayor Sadiq Khan for suggesting there is no reason to be alarmed. This is the same London mayor who previously suggested that terrorism is just part and parcel of living in a big city.

Trumps realistic take was nevertheless shunned and rejected with flashy headlines.

"Donald Trumps ugly tweets on London are a step too far even for him," read the Telegraph.

Other headlines followed suit.

The Panic President.

Trump criticized for tweet on London mayor after bridge attacks.

We must stop being politically correct and get down to the business of security for our people. If we don't get smart it will only get worse

At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is "no reason to be alarmed!"

Meanwhile, the twisted truth is that the London mayor, not President Trump deserves criticism for his soft, idealistic approach to terrorism.

Prime Minister Theresa May, for her part, took a tough, self-critical tone in acknowledging that the United Kingdom has shown far too much tolerance of extremism in our country.

But the time for words is over. The time for action is now. The words of European leaders ring hollow, especially contrasted with the actions of a president willing to defy political correctness in protecting the American citizenry.

Realistic, bold, unwavering action is not just advisable, but indispensible to protecting the homeland. Its easy to dismiss terrorism and point to its rarity, until someone you know and love becomes a victim of it. Our children, our brothers, our sisters, our mothers, our fathers will perish in a world of idealism.

London a reminder that deadly political correctness perpetuates terrorism - The Hill (blog)

President Trump called for an end to political correctness when discussing terrorism following Saturday night's attack in London that left seven dead and almost 50 injured.

"We must stop being politically correct and get down to the business of security for our people. If we don't get smart it will only get worse," Trump tweeted.

He then slammed London Mayor Sadiq Khan, who had tried to calm his city early Sunday morning with a statement that said there would be more police on the streets in the coming days and there's "no reason to be alarmed."

"At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is no reason to be alarmed!'" Trump tweeted.

Two terrorist attacks took place in London on Saturday night. In one, terrorists drove a van at about 50 miles per hour into a crowd of people on London Bridge. At about the same time, multiple people were stabbed in a nearby part of London.

Police announced they shot and killed all of the suspects, who were wearing explosive vests. They did not have time to detonate those bombs. At least one innocent bystander was shot by police in the confusion, police said.

Trump poked at Democrats and other gun control activists Sunday morning as well, noting their silence in the wake of the attacks.

"Do you notice we are not having a gun debate right now? That's because they used knives and a truck!" he tweeted.

Not long after firing off that series of tweets, Trump left the White House for his Virginia golf course. While the White House wouldn't confirm Trump was golfing, he appeared to be dressed for the links, according to a press pool report.

His comments stirred up more outrage from critics on Twitter, but Khan himself couldn't be bothered to respond

Khan "is busy working with police, emergency services and the government to coordinate the response to this horrific and cowardly terrorist attack and provide leadership and reassurance to Londoners and visitors in our city," a spokesman said.

"He has more important things to do than respond to Donald Trump's ill-informed tweet that deliberately takes out of context his remarks urging Londoners not to be alarmed when they saw more police including armed officers on the streets."

Excerpt from:

Trump slams 'political correctness' and gun control activists after London attacks - Washington Examiner

WASHINGTON >> President Donald Trump said Sunday he will do whatever is necessary to protect the United States from a vile enemy that he says has waged war on innocents for too long, vowing: This bloodshed must end, this bloodshed will end.

Trump commented on the vehicle and knife attack that killed at least seven people in London at the conclusion of a fundraiser for Fords Theater, scene of one of the most famous acts of bloodshed in American history: the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln.

America sends our thoughts and prayers and our deepest sympathies to the victims of this evil slaughter and we renew our resolve, stronger than ever before, to protect the United States and its allies from a vile enemy that ha swaged war on innocent life, and its gone on too long, Trump said in his first public comments on the attack late Saturday in a busy section of London. He previously had commented via a series of Twitter posts.

This bloodshed must end, this bloodshed will end, said the tuxedo-clad Trump, standing on stage with his wife, first lady Melania Trump.

As president, I will do what is necessary to prevent this threat from spreading to our shores and work every single day to protect the safety and security of our country, our communities and our people, he said.

Trump said he had spoken with British Prime Minister Theresa May to express Americas unwavering support and offer U.S. assistance as the British government works to protect its citizens and bring the guilty to justice.

After more than 20 people were killed in a bomb attack last month at a concert in Manchester, England, Trump condemned the assault as the act of evil losers and called on nations to band together to fight terrorism.

Earlier Sunday, Trump had criticized Londons mayor after he sought to reassure residents about a stepped-up police presence following the attack, the third in the country in past three months, arguing on Twitter for leaders to stop being politically correct and focus on security for our people.

The mayors spokesman said he was too busy to respond to Trumps ill-informed tweet.

In a series of tweets that began late Saturday, Trump also pushed his stalled travel ban, mocked gun control supporters and pledged that the United States will be there to help London and the United Kingdom.

Trump challenged London Mayor Sadiq Khan for saying there was no reason to be alarmed. Khan spoke those words in a television interview Sunday in the context of reassuring Londoners about an increased police presence they might see.

No reason to be alarmed, Khan said, describing a more visible presence as one of things the police and all of us need to do to make sure we are as safe as we possibly can be.

Trump wasnt satisfied and responded Sunday with a trio of tweets:

We must stop being politically correct and get down to the business of security for our people. If we dont get smart it will only get worse.

At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is no reason to be alarmed!

Trump ended with: Do you notice we are not having a gun debate right now? Thats because they used knives and a truck!

Khans office dismissed the tweet, saying the mayor is busy working with the police, emergency services and the government to coordinate the response to this horrific and cowardly terrorist attack and provide leadership and reassurance to Londoners and visitors to our city. He has more important things to do than respond to Donald Trumps ill-informed tweet that deliberately takes out of context his remarks urging Londoners not to be alarmed when they saw more police including armed officers on the streets.

Trumps first comment after the attack came late Saturday on Twitter. He promoted a proposed travel ban on visitors from six mostly Muslim countries and refugees from around the world that has been blocked by U.S. courts.

The Trump administration last week formally asked the Supreme Court, the highest court in the U.S., to allow the ban to take effect, arguing that restricting immigration by refugees and visitors from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen is necessary to protect U.S. national security. A date for the court to hear arguments in the case was not immediately set.

We need to be smart, vigilant and tough. We need the courts to give us back our rights. We need the Travel Ban as an extra level of safety! Trump tweeted Saturday after the attack.

U.S. lawmakers from both political parties criticized Trump for raising the travel ban and assailing Khan.

Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, the top Democrat on the Senate intelligence committee, said on CBS Face the Nation that he was concerned about Trumps call for a travel ban even though the courts have continued to turn that down.

Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, a Republican member of the Senate intelligence panel, said the ban was too broad but agreed with Trump that better immigration procedures are needed.

Trump's ire: London mayor, political correctness on security - LA Daily News

Liberal CNN contributorSally Kohn wants to fight terrorism with tolerance and political correctness.

President Trump demanded an end to political correctness in counterterrorism following the London terror attacks that left seven people dead and dozens more wounded. Kohn took offense at the presidents tweets and fired back, saying that political correctness are, according to her, the solutions to terrorism.

Political correctness is simple idea everyone should be treated with equal dignity [and] respect. Its not cause of terrorism. Its antidote, Kohn wrote in a series of tweets. When we make political correctness the scapegoat, we undermine values of tolerance and equality that are ALWAYS our best weapon against hate.

Of course we cant snap our fingers make all current terrorists just become more tolerant and respectful, she conceded. But long term, do we help future would-be terrorists turn toward respect, tolerance, away [from] hate? Or do we become more hateful ourselves?Our values of pluralism and inclusion and equality are under attack. The answer to terrorism CANNOT be to throw away our values.

Kohn previously took issue with then-candidate Donald Trumps call for a temporary ban on Muslims entering the United States.

Kohn claimed that Sharia law isnt a threat because even progressive Muslims adhere to it.

CNN's Sally Kohn Wants To Fight Terrorism With 'Tolerance' And 'Political Correctness' - The Daily Caller

In our toxic age of political correctness, nothing is immune from liberal political attacks, even the beautiful, majestic and endangered tigers.

It seems obvious that tigers should be supported since their numbers are dwindling the in the wild and their natural habitats are constantly shrinking.

Most people probably think it is harmless for Louisiana State University (LSU) to feature tigers as their mascot and display a well maintained Mike the Tiger in an air conditioned, deluxe cage right outside the football stadium.

Unfortunately, all those assumptions are incorrect in an age of stifling political correctness. Today, it seems that the fighting tigers are racist symbols of oppression to African American students at LSU.

In 1895, the nickname Fighting Tigers was adopted at LSU to honor the Louisiana infantry in the Civil War. These fighters were known as tigers and were celebrated for being particularly courageous and battle-hardened warriors.

Since that time, the nickname has both honored the beautiful big cats of the jungle and the Louisiana Confederate soldiers.

Now, in an age where Confederate monuments are under attack across the country, anything associated with the South during the Civil War has become controversial, even a harmless nickname.

Today, an online petition at http://www.Change.org is gathering signatures demanding that LSU remove the tiger mascot. The organizer, LaMallori LSU, claims that the tiger mascot is the most prevalent Confederate symbol in the United States and that it is incredibly insulting for black students to deal with the racism associated with the mascot.

LaMallori LSU also states that the Louisiana Civil War infantry mistreated slaves by engaging in violent abuse of the innocent African Americans of that era.

This petition is just the latest outrageous move by leftists to remove monuments and change names of anything associated with the Confederacy. The left was emboldened when the liberal Democrat Mayor of New Orleans, Mitch Landrieu, was successful in removing four Confederate monuments in the city. In the aftermath, organizers have targeted dozens of other monuments to remove and names to change.

Obviously, mascots are not immune to this crazed, destructive movement.

Currently, the petition has generated only 500 signatures, but it is creating significant publicity nationwide. With the politically correct leadership of universities across the nation, including LSU, there is no guarantee that these types of demands will not be given earnest consideration.

The overall ultimatums of the petition are quite chilling. The organizer calls for an end to not only the tiger mascot, but also for the day when every symbol of white oppression is torn down.

This march toward justice is a march toward insanity or a march toward destruction.

The efforts to erase history, remove monuments, change names and mascots must stop immediately. If not, our country will disintegrate before our very eyes.
