The
news out of New York City should cause us to pause
Three
Muslim men were arrested trying to fly to Istanbul to join the ISIS cause
If
convicted they are facing 15 years a penalty not enough to deter
More
men and women falling under ISIS’s barbaric lure
In
this war on terror their actions have a treason ring
Send
them off to Gitmo and into their cell a hangman’s noose to bring
Caught
online professing terror support
Somehow
the needles found in the cyber haystack and their plans came up short
The
NTPD under the current mayor no longer monitors the mosques for jihadist
schemes
The
NYPD pulling back has to have fulfilled the radicals’ fondest dreams
We
got lucky this time with three less fanatics to receive combat experience and
then return
Needing
only a terrorist act on our soil martyrdom to be earned.
