Another Day, Another "Misunderstander" of the Religion of Peace

Folks, here we go again.

Two West Virginia National Guard troops—deployed to the nation’s capital to help keep order—are now fighting for their lives after a targeted ambush just blocks from the White House. The alleged shooter: Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an Afghan national who arrived in the United States in September 2021 during the Biden administration’s chaotic withdrawal from Kabul.

And yes, witnesses say he was screaming “ALLAHU AKBAR!” as he opened fire.

Here’s the chilling play-by-play, per law-enforcement sources cited by the New York Post:

“According to sources, Lakanwal waited for the Guardsmen to turn a corner, opened fire, shot a female Guardsman in the chest, then allegedly took her firearm and shot her point-blank in the head before firing at others. Another Guardsman was hit in the neck before a third managed to take him down.”

The FBI and D.C. police are investigating this as a “possible act of terrorism.” Metropolitan Police executive assistant chief Jeffrey Carroll described it bluntly: “It appears to be a lone gunman that raised a firearm and ambushed these members of the National Guard.”

For months, progressive politicians and activists have been screeching that sending the National Guard into Democrat-run cities constitutes “authoritarianism” and an “invasion” of the streets. Funny how that rhetoric sounds a little different when the troops themselves become the targets.

And then there’s the inevitable question that the legacy media will do everything in their power to memory-hole: How is it that so many “misunderstanders” of Islam keep misunderstanding it in exactly the same murderous way?

We’re told—endlessly—that Islam is a “religion of peace,” yet a shocking percentage of global terror attacks continue to be carried out by individuals shouting the same Arabic phrase before they start shooting, stabbing, or blowing themselves up. At what point does the “tiny minority of extremists” excuse collapse under its own weight?

President Trump, not mincing words, immediately called for a full reinvestigation of every Afghan refugee admitted under the Biden-Harris evacuation:

“WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump has called for a reinvestigation of all Afghan refugees admitted under the Biden administration following a Wednesday shooting near the White House that critically injured two West Virginia National Guard members in what D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser described as a targeted attack.”

Good. Start vetting. Actually vetting this time.

Early reports from West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey briefly—and terrifyingly—suggested both troops had died, but he later clarified:

“We are now receiving conflicting reports about the condition of our two Guard members and will provide additional updates once we receive more complete information. Our prayers are with these brave service members, their families, and the entire Guard community.”

Prayers indeed. These men and women put on the uniform to protect us. The very least we can do is demand honest answers about who we’re letting in—and why the same deadly pattern keeps repeating itself while politicians and the press pretend it’s just one giant coincidence.Enough with the platitudes. This isn’t “senseless violence.” When the perpetrator screams “Allahu Akbar” before executing a cold-blooded ambush on American soil, the sense is tragically, infuriatingly clear.

Time to face reality instead of reciting the same tired “religion of peace” talking points while our troops bleed two blocks from the White House.
