Former U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman (D-CONN)Former U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman said the enemy threat to the United States isn't just one group of terrorists such as Al-Qaeda, for example, but the ideology that drives people "to violent extremism," including the two brothers who killed three and maimed scores of others by placing others near the finish line at the Boston Marathon on April 15. "We killed Bin Laden," Lieberman told CNSNews.com on Thursday during a recess of the House Homeland Security Committee hearing where he testified on the Boston attack. "The core leadership of Al-Qaeda is on the run, but this ideology of violent Islamic extremism is spreading. And it's beginning to infect people here in this country who are carrying it out--trying to carry out terrorist attacks."
Lieberman also summarized what House Homeland Security Chairman Michael McCaul (R-Tx) said the other day and that is "You can't defeat an enemy unless you call it by its name. There are terrorists other than those who are motivated by violent Islamic extremism."
It is true there are terrorists that aren't Muslims. However, the biggest problem the U.S. and the world has had in the last few decades has revolved around Islamic terrorism. What doesn't make sense is why does the U.S. allow Middle Easterners to come into our country when the U.S. was attacked by those kind of people on 9/11? It doesn't make sense. As long as our borders are open Islamic terrorists can sneak into our country. Therefore, we can't defeat Islamic terrorism because we will always have that threat coming into our country unless our elected elite start following the laws on the books concerning illegal immigration.
