To follow up on Kent's post, ISIS has now given the San Bernardino killers its highest accolade: martyr. NBC News has the story:
A new radio message released by ISIS on Saturday calls the California couple who gunned down 14 people at a holiday party "supporters" -- but stops short of the terror group taking direct credit for the attack.
An announcer with the al-Bayan radio morning report recounts the slaughter in San Bernardino, and asks for "Allah to accept them (the shooters) among the martyrs," according to a translation provided by global security firm and NBC News analyst Flashpoint Intelligence.
Since ISIS has only compliments for the killers and their putative devotion to Allah, I think it need not worry about a "hate speech" prosecution from the Attorney General.
This is what it has come to: What really rings this Administration's bell is not ISIS itself -- terrorism's JV team -- but criticism of the identifiably Islamic thought from which ISIS springs.
P.S. As the last link shows, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said three months ago that his boss's "JV team" remark "was referring to groups that "do not have designs on attacking the West or on attacking the United States ... they certainly don't have the capability of attacking the West." Note to residents of San Bernardino, CA: You are not in the West.
