Soon to be the new rash of minor/major attacks.
We're swimming with young radicals with instant access to whatever nutbar Iman they want to follow every word of
The critical issue is how to effectively defang the radical Islamists among us who are most likely planning the next attack on Americans as we speak. The family of the Boston Bombers claim to have been concerned by the radical turn the older one took but said nothing to authorities.

Whose kids are the next victims? Yours? Mine? How much are we prepared to endure?
