School officials are not sure whether or not the Flight 253 jihadist went to an Islamic school in Houston. And in Nigeria, they’ve never seen al-Qaeda anywhere, no sir, nowhere. Nobody here but us moderates! Everyone, in other words, is trying to make sure that no one gets the idea…

But if so, the blame doesn’t lie wholly with government agencies charged with maintaining the lists. Some share of responsibility [...]

This WaPo weeper tries to paint the Flight 253 jihadist as a poor, lonely boy, but what comes through loud and clear is that he was a very serious and devout Muslim. How is it that someone so committed to Islam could have misunderstood Islam so thoroughly as to think…
