Growing anti-religious sentiment is not behind church shootings, but it is clear who is to blame for the others.
Israeli troops killed a wanted member of a terror cell Tuesday morning following an exchange of gunfire that killed three and injured 40 others.
According to the Pentagon, a leader of the Islamic State group in Syria has been killed in a drone strike.
In 2009, when Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi walked away from a United States detention camp in Iraq, he warned his former captors: “I’ll see you guys in New York.”
Just five years later, in 2014, this same man became the leader of ISIS.
After Tuesday’s terror attack in New York City, the deadliest since 9/11, al-Baghdadi’s words seem more ominous – and relevant.
This week, CNN noted the resilience of New Yorkers. Yet, we deceive ourselves if we go on with our lives and dismiss Tuesday’s attack as another senseless atrocity carried out by a “lone wolf.” (After all, the alleged attacker wanted to display the ISIS flag in the hospital while he recovered, and the militant group claimed him as a “soldier of the caliphate.”)
What motivates ISIS to commit such carnage? Radical jihadists such as al-Baghdadi are more than psychopaths perverting Islam. ISIS wants to usher in the apocalypse.

In the past few weeks, it was revealed that Hamas had planned a series of attacks against Israelis after Israeli forces arrested more than 50 members of a Hamas terror cell.
Security forces in Israel are on high alert after a Hamas terrorist opened fire in Jerusalem’s Old City Sunday, killing one and injuring four others.
A group of GOP Senators sent a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken urging the State Department to designate the Taliban as a Foreign Terrorist Organization.
