Why the ‘lone-wolf’ terrorist is a myth
2016-06-19
[NYPost] President B.O. says don't worry, the Orlando terrorist was just another "lone actor" operating in isolation, unconnected to any larger group of supporters. In fact, these so-called "lone wolves" are running in packs, and suggesting otherwise gives the public a false sense of security.

In fact, suspects in all but a handful of the roughly 90 ISIS terror cases prosecuted in America since 2014 were part of a group of up to 10 co-conspirators who met in person to discuss their plans or who made contact via text messaging or e-mail, Rooters found in a recent review of Justice Department case files.
Yet Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson echoed Obama, saying Omar Mateen was "self-radicalized" without any religious, ideological or operational support from friends, family or others in the Moslem community.

"What we do know at this point is it appears this was a case of self-radicalization," Johnson said. "He does not appear to have been part of any group."

#1  In fact, mosques are the connective tissue in all these attacks and plots.

Sunni mosques that provide literature from Ibn Taymiyyah, Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab, and the book "Milestones" by Sayyid Qutb provide fertile ground. Seeds sown and fertilized with Salifism, Takfiri thought, and Absolution via Martyrdom spring up in the new zealots and in the desperate...and we reap this bloody harvest.
