But Obama says it has nothing to do with Islam.
But the media says it has nothing to do with Islam.
But academia says it has nothing to do with Islam.
But cultural elites say it has nothing to do with Islam.

It’s islamofauxbia – rational opposition to jihad  – that’s the problem.

“US issues Ramadan warning for month of terror attacks ahead of start of Euro 2016,” By Tom Batchelor, June 10, 2016:
THE US State Department has issued a fresh warning against Islamist martyrs who plan to wage a month-long jihad to coincide with Ramadan, as the Euro 2016 football championship kicks off in France.

ISIS has threatened a wave of lone-wolf attacks during the Muslim holy month and US security officials fear a strike could target football fans over the coming four weeks.

A report from the Overseas Security Advisory Council warned that “martyrdom during the month may hold a special allure to some”.

“The terrorism risk at the moment is generally high,” it added.

The terror alert came after an audio message from ISIS spokesperson Abu Mohammad al-Adnani called on the group’s fighters to “get prepared, be ready…to make it a month of calamity everywhere for nonbelievers… especially for the fighters and supporters of the caliphate in Europe and America”.

The audio clip continued: “The tiniest action you do in the heart of their land is dearer to us than the biggest action by us.

“There are no innocents in the heart of the lands of the Crusaders.”

Ramadan began on June 6 and will run until July 5.

The month-long celebration coincides with the French football tournament which starts today and ends on July 10.

France has been on high alert for a terror plot during championships, with a senior security official admitting he was “worried” about sleeper cells already based in Europe.

The unnamed counter-terrorism officer said the French security services had done “as much as possible” ahead of Friday’s opening match in Paris.

But he also acknowledged that Europe’s “borders cannot be controlled” and warned of terror cells in Germany “who have stayed quiet and waited”.

Separately this week, Ukraine’s security services arrested a French national reported to be planning 15 separate attacks in France on the eve and during the football tournament.
