In the last year in the USA, there have been at least 70 people murdered as a result of Islamic terrorism. In France, the number is higher. If you go back to the Charlie Hebdo attack and the attack on the kosher market of the same day, the dead from Islamic terror come in at about 250. In the UK, there have also been many people killed. All in all, we are talking about 400 people dead and many more wounded, some very seriously. Nevertheless, the mayors of London, Paris and New York co-wrote a piece in the New York Times in which they call for admission of more Islamic refugees and claim that "militant violence is vanishingly rare.”
Notice that these three mayors cannot even bring themselves to call the violence that claimed so many lives Islamic terrorism, which is what it actually is. That wouldn't be politically correct.
What does Bill De Blasio have to say to the families of people killed in San Bernardino by a poorly vetter Pakistani "immigrant" who was actually a terrorist operative? The widow and children of a man who was killed are unlikely to be comforted by being told that "it was just a fluke." I doubt that the parents of a young woman killed in the Orlando club massacre at the hands of a radicalized terrorist consider her death part of something that is "vanishingly rare."
Bill De Blasio clearly thinks that he can change reality by calling it something else. It's a standard disease of liberals. Sometimes, it's just renaming something. Illegal aliens became undocumented immigrants according to the left. It doesn't change anything; they are still here illegally and they are still aliens. Sometimes, they just make stuff up. Think about everything that Hillary Clinton has ever said about her email system. It changes nothing, however. De Blasio clearly believes in the concept, though. He was born Warren Wilhelm. He changed his name to Bill De Blasio because he thought it would help his political career. Better to appear to be an Italian Catholic if you want to win in New York, right?
It is a disgrace that these fools think that they can change reality by describing it differently. Islamic terror is not rare. Tens of thousands are dead around the world due to those terrorists. Ignoring that reality just means more dead and more wounded.
