Sure.

So you had two basically white supremacists, anti-Semitic, anti-Muslim terrorists.

I mean, it fits that definition.

Shoot up the Islamic center of San Diego.

Three people were killed.

And there's been so much news going on that it kind of kind of faded.

But what I was disturbed by even more so than the shooting was.

um was the reaction by some people particularly on social media um to it some saying oh i condemn violence but i kind of get why it happened that they don't get my sympathy and then other people outright justifying it um and that's what prompted me to write the article for you at glennbeck.com um because what i realized from studying the literature of jihadists especially isis uh was that these attackers without realizing it

committed the jihad they claim that they're stopping.

I mean, they fulfilled the plan.

They fulfilled the plan of ISIS.

This is exactly what they want to happen.

They're no different than the 9-11 hijackers in that regard.

Sure.

So what I just said sounds like hyperbole, but it's actually very literal.

So there's an English language magazine that ISIS at least used to put out.

And this is going back to like 2014, 2015.

And in the seventh issue of it, for 12 whole pages, they go on about their strategy called the extinction of the gray zone.

And what they're referring to, destroying the gray zone, is the Muslim middle ground.

They basically say there's the people who are engaged in jihad, they're on our side.
