Mark Steyn puts it exactly right. As usual.

Faisal Shahzad, Subprime Terrorist?

Well, one way of falling behind with your house payments is to take half a year off to go to Pakistan and train in a terrorist camp.

The story of the Times Square bomber reads like some Urdu dinner-theater production of Mel Brooks’s The Producers that got lost in translation between here and Peshawar: A man sets out to produce the biggest bomb on Broadway since Dance a Little Closer closed on its opening night in 1983. Everything goes right: He gets a parking space right next to Viacom, owners of the hated Comedy Central! But then he gets careless: He buys the wrong fertilizer. He fails to open the valve on the propane tank. And next thing you know, his ingenious plot is the non-stop laugh riot of the Great White Way. Ha-ha! What a loser! Why, the whole thing’s totally — what’s the word? — “amateurish,” according to multiple officials. It “looked amateurish,” scoffed New York’s Mayor Bloomberg. “Amateurish,” agreed Janet Napolitano, the White House amateurishness czar.

Please go to the National Review for the rest:

  1. Just as he said, immigration and fast-tracking citizenship to Muslims must stop.

    Everywhere that Muslims settle, they bring with them intolerance, hatred and the ability to destroy others with impunity.

    Its long past time for the west to stop the hajri and all Muslim sedition within our borders. Now is the time for action of a pro-active sort, even if it means restructuring immigration laws and multicultural policies to prevent all radicals from entering the west from Muslim countries. And if we can’t tell the difference between radicals and so-called moderates, then so be it. Keep them all out.

    The leadership within Islam realizes that the west has a very soft and vulnerable underbelly in our too-liberal immigration laws and policies on assimilating immigrants, so they tend to seed immigrant populations with extremists and people western intelligence agencies used to call “fellow travellers”.

    We may check their credentials at our doors, but how are they being screened when they leave their homelands? And are their documents authentic?

    The west is re-learning the hard way what our European ancestors knew many centuries ago. You cannot trust Muslims to tell the truth about themselves or their intentions. Its written in their “holy” books that they can be deceitful and break promises so long as Muslims benefit.

    That simple fact should tell us a lot about the control system called Islam and those who seek to immigrate to the west as “refugees”.
