We continue to hear the word “terrorist” over and over in the media and from our government. This “minority” issue with Islam, as it is also labeled, sure seems to be snowballing out of control when the U.S. government is now warning our police how to attempt to stop school massacres from happening here on American soil as they already have over in Russia. For such a “minority”, the jihadists behind all the beheadings and child murders and suicide bombings seem to have no end of volunteers. Now, why is that?
This is a cultural conflict. Learn it, understand it, fight it. Islam is the enemy, folks. You won’t hear it much more clearly than that. Let us hope that my site does not continue to be in its own minority about speaking that truth too much longer. The United States must wake up before there is another major attack that forces us to speak the truth, but it seems we Americans learn our lessons very slowly as a nation.
With these thoughts in mind, read on and just pray we never have to endure such horrors ourselves. From CNN:
WASHINGTON (CNN) — The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security sent a bulletin to local law enforcement and homeland security officials Wednesday advising schools how to stop a terrorist takeover similar to that of a Russian school in North Ossetia last month.
A Homeland Security official said that an edited version of the bulletin has been disseminated by the Department of Education to education officials around the country.
The bulletin cautions that, “There is no imminent threat to U.S. schools and the group that conducted the operation has never attacked or threatened to attack U.S. interests.” It adds that the FBI and DHS are “currently unaware of any specific, credible information indicating a terrorist threat to public and private schools, universities or colleges in the United States.”
It adds, however, that the high casualty rate at the school in the city of Beslan — more than 300 killed — and the extensive media coverage it generated “warrant a summary of lessons learned” and “protective measure guidance for helping to prevent and respond to a similar terrorist attack were it to occur in the United States.”
A Homeland Security official said that the bulletin was “based on tactics, not threats” and that similar informational bulletins have been issued after other major terrorists attacks overseas, such as the Madrid train bombings last March.
The protective measures recommended in the bulletin include installing security locking mechanisms for all external and internal doors and windows, retrofitting structural enhancements in safe areas that could be used for assembly and refuge during crises, and protective coatings for windows on facilities that face high traffic areas.
The bulletin also outlines possible indicators that a school is being cased or is under surveillance.
