Iowa Governor Terry Branstad issued a warning on Monday saying that there are major
Islamic terrorists in Iowa, who can strike any day.
The Des Moines Register reported on Branstad stumping for GOP presidential candidate
Donald Trump and against Democrat candidate
Hillary Clinton,
who has been quoted as saying that terrorism, and we all know that it is Islamic in nature, is not a threat to our nation.
The Register
reports:
Branstad particularly focused on the threat to Iowans
from what he described as Islamic terrorist sympathizers in Iowa,
saying he believes the dangers have been underestimated. He added that
Trump has had the courage to bring up the issue as he travels the
country, and he noted that several terrorist attacks in the United
States have involved radicalized Muslims.
Pressed for details about the threats posed to Iowans by Islamic
terrorist sympathizers, Branstad said he receives regular updates from
the Iowa Department of Public Safety on threats of all types to Iowans,
including information on ISIS sympathizers.
"It is kind of a scary thought, when you think of all the
different challenges that we are facing. I think our Department of
Public Safety does a good job and they try to do the very best they can
and they coordinate with the federal people as well," Branstad said. But
he also said the public safety threat briefings are secret and he can't
share them with the public. He added that he was among a group of
governors who went to FBI headquarters in February for an in-depth
briefing.
"You have seen what has happened around the country," he said. "You
have seen what has happened in California and New York and New Jersey,
and Tennessee and Florida. Sure there is a threat. There is a threat
every day. We try to take it very seriously, and I think our people are
doing a good job, but I know that it is a dangerous and difficult
situation. Because of social media, ISIS and their Islamic radical
advocates are communicating with people all over the world — including
in our state."
Clinton gave two speeches for $250,000 each in 2013 and in one said
that terrorism is "not a threat to us as a nation." In the other speech
she said that Russia was not a threat.
In responding to Branstad's claim that Trump has a "secret" plan to defeat the Islamic State, the Clinton campaign issued a
statement
saying, "As it turns out, the secret is that Trump has no plan.
Instead, foreign policy experts agree, the ideas Trump has mentioned are
dangerous and wrongheaded — and his anti-Muslim rhetoric and proposals
are recruiting tools for ISIS and other terror groups."
Dangerous and wrongheaded? As dangerous and wrongheaded as
not tightening security concerning the consulate in Benghazi that cost four Americans their lives? As dangerous and wrongheaded as
allowing a plethora of unvetted Muslim refugees in the united States? As dangerous and wrongheaded as allowing the
Muslim Brotherhood in the
State Department? As dangerous and wrongheaded as using an
unsecured private email server to send classified information?
While I may not agree with Donald Trump's policies completely on
dealing with the Islamic State, I do give the man credit that he calls
out the enemy for what it is, Islam.
In addition to the claims of Branstad, there are
at least 22 confirmed Islamic terror training camps in the US, all under the watchful eye of the FBI.
The obvious question that should be asked is, if you know for sure
these Islamists exist, why are you not rooting them out before they can
strike?
Now, I ask you, who is really behind the terror and who does it work for?
