Yesterday, a Sharia-supremacist from Bangladesh tried to kill innocent Americans in a New York subway station, reportedly because he was upset about Israeli retaliation for attacks Hamas launched from Gaza. Fortunately, he did not succeed in this jihadist ambition. 

But we have created conditions in which it is surely just a matter of time before others do succeed in murdering large numbers of us in the name of Sharia.  After all, as Conservative Review’s Daniel Horowitz has pointed out, just since 9/11 we have given permanent residency to more than 170,000 immigrants from Bangladesh.  And over 1.8 million in total from 47 Muslim-majority countries.

Fortunately, not all of these people embrace Sharia or seek to impose it on the rest of us. But it is reckless to let in more who might, and we need to counter those here who do.
