Yesterday, there were news of a mass shooting (slaughter) done by a team (Syed Farooq and fiancee) in San Bernardino California. They killed 14 people and injured several others in a Christmas party of a social center. The couple had a foreign sounding name, it is the 352nd incident involving mass shooting in the US. The couple rented an SUV had 3 home made bombs and other several explosive devices assembled in their homes. The couple who looked as if they were on a military mission were eventually killed by the police in a shoot out.
The couple they said were radicalized via the social media.
So you have loose gun control laws, the social media being used extensively by radical groups (sms, internet, FB, tweeter) . Despite the huge budget for CIA, FBI, and Homeland Security, the radicals are able to penetrate right into the heart of US. That the ISIS should be able to terrorize Americans right in their capital city is not an empty threat.
What would US do? What would US Security Forces do? Well, it is time that they take drastic measures like tapping FB, Tweeter, or having Tweeter and FB weed out users who are confirmed radical groups or front for radical groups. You cant blame some countries for having strict censorship for some sites. Also tightening travel and immigration laws for citizens coming from suspected countries harboring terrorists.
We are all right. Events like this create backlash on the Islam citizens and their brethren. That some states are not accepting Syrian refugees is understandable. And this event further strengthens their resolve to lessen security threat by not accepting citizens from Islam countries, or people with Islam sounding names. It is bigotry, but who is to be blamed?
