Hani Hanjour, Salem and Nawaf Alhamzi, Ahmed Alghamdi and now Sayfullo Saipov...
The first 4 helped plan and execute the September 11th 2001 Terrorist Attacks on America that killed thousands. That day changed our country and the world forever and was the fallen domino that would foreshadow several wars and armed conflicts globally.
The 5th man on this list executed a cowardly and sickening terrorist attack in NYC using a rented truck. He is said to be proud of his newfound notoriety, requesting to display the ISIS flag in his hospital room and being in a state of euphoria over the deadly attack.
What is the common denominator in these horrific attacks?
Paterson, NJ
My hometown is a tough place to grow up in. Riddled with crime, gangs and a dangerous drug trade, it's easy for the threat of jihad to be somewhat lost in what is otherwise a mostly peaceful setting in heavily Middle-Eastern influenced South Paterson. The City of Paterson has a total population of approximately 150,000 and it is estimated that up to one-fifth or 30,000 residents are of Middle-Eastern heritage. There are also 6 mosques in Paterson.
It is far too easy for a radical to operate in our modern day, politically correct America. We saw on December 2, 2015, in San Bernardino, CA, 14 people be killed and 22 others seriously injured in a terrorist attack that could have easily been prevented. The perpetrators, Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik, had been observed engaging in suspicious activity by neighbors.
According to downtrend.com:
KABC talked to a witness who saw police interviewing somebody who lived “pretty close” to Farook. That person said that Farook’s immediate neighbor had noticed that he had received “quite a few packages within a short amount of time.” She also noticed that Farook was “doing a lot of work out in the garage.”
Then, the witness said this: “She was kind of suspicious and wanted to report it but she said she didn’t want to profile these people because she believed they were like of Middle Eastern descent.”
It is time for the Department of Homeland Security to authorize the immediate deportation of all Islamic residents in Paterson, NJ, who are here on expired visas. This one simple action would have prevented this weeks terror attack in New York City.
The ridiculous "Diversity Lottery" that brought Sayfullo Saipov is to blame as well, but basic enforcement of Visa laws is immediately needed to prevent the similar "copycat" attacks.
The nation's focus should shift to the serious problem we have in what has become one of America's premier breeding grounds for terror, Paterson NJ.
This is a seriously bogus article and four names mentioned re 911 is a reflection of the false '911 Official Report' which white-washed the reality. Get real...911 was an inside job and a couple of members of the '911 Commission' have admitted as much. Tying this in with the recent NYC truck that killed 8 people is ridiculous and is just a way of perpetuating the myth of the 'jihad'; oh, sure, there have been incidents but the 'far-right' wants to perpetuate the myth of the boogeyman as an Islamic terrorist and that's a fiction to keep people in fear. The number of 'false-flag' events reflects the effort to keep people in fear and suspicious of anything and anyone which perpetuates paranoia and DIVISION!! Don't be suckered in to this kind of BS propaganda
