Terrorism: We are repeating the mistakes of France and other European countries by expanding our Muslim immigration. The Boston Marathon bombings were just a foretaste of the likely consequences of this error.
Dearborn, Mich., is about 40% Muslim. That is just one of the eye-opening statistics National Review's Ian Tuttle cites in an article this week on the growth of the U.S. Islamic population, a report as sober as it is chilling.
Would only a bigoted Islamophobe be disturbed upon hearing that stat? Maybe, but a secret 2013 National Counterterrorism Center document, revealed by the online publication The Intercept, found Dearborn second only to New York in known or suspected terrorists and their associates.
There were 2.75 million Muslims in the U.S. in 2011, according to the Pew Research Center, 1.7 million of whom were legal. But, Tuttle notes, the Council on American-Islamic Relations estimates about 7 million Muslim Americans.
That's a big difference, but there is no arguing with Tuttle that "as the Muslim population in the country has expanded, so has the incidence of radicalism."Read the rest of the IBD Editorial HERE.
