   A 17-year-old in Peoria, Ariz., has been arrested over his plans to   
   load up a drone with explosives and send it into the Phoenix Pride   
   parade. He was hoping to “bomb 2024 Pride Parade and take over USA” and   
   said that he had ordered bomb-making equipment. He was, however,   
   discovered and stopped before he could carry out his attack. Still, you   
   should have heard about a terror plot of this magnitude, yet the   
   establishment media is maintaining near-radio silence about it.   
      
   Now, foiled attacks always get less attention than ones that are   
   successful, and that’s why you likely haven’t heard about this   
   particular plot, but there is another reason as well: the perpetrator   
   was not a “white supremacist” gun nut who could be easily shoehorned   
   into the left’s standard narrative about supposed “right-wing”   
   violence.   
      
   Instead, Marvin Aneer Jalo was an Islamic jihadist, coming at a time   
   when the left’s alliance with Islamic groups is fraught with tension   
   over the Biden-Harris regime’s failure to betray Israel as thoroughly   
   as Muslim leaders have been demanding they do, as well as over social   
   issues, with many Muslims furious over the left’s unshakeable   
   determination to embrace and normalize every fantasy, delusion and   
   perversion that comes down the pike. So this was just the worst time   
   for a Muslim to plot to blow up a Pride Parade, and that’s why you’re   
   likely to hear about this plot only here.   
      
   AZFamily reported Wednesday that Jalo was arrested last Friday, the   
   first day of the LGBTQEIEIO Pride Parade in Phoenix. Due to the gravity   
   of his plans, he is “being charged as an adult with terrorism and   
   conspiracy to commit terrorism, both class 2 felonies.” It seems that   
   the precocious young fellow “started communicating in internet chat   
   rooms in 2023 with people he described as extremists who were   
   recruiting him.”   
      
   The “extremists” in question were jihadis from the Islamic State   
   (ISIS), and Jalo was more than willing to be recruited. He “reportedly   
   posted that they could ‘bomb 2024 Pride Parade and take over USA.’” The   
   “take over USA” part was more than a little grandiose, but they   
   certainly could have carried out the plot to bomb the Pride Parade.   
   Jalo also “later said he was having supplies shipped to him to make   
   explosives.”   
      
   On his phone, the aspiring jihad terrorist had “numerous photos of   
   firearms and an instructional video depicting an ISIS fighter making   
   the explosive Triacetone Triperoxide (TATP).” That’s another reason why   
   you won’t hear much, if anything, about this plot. Up until Tim Walz   
   and Adam Kinzinger discovered their love for guns, however inept they   
   are at handling them, the left’s sole interest in firearms involved   
   strategizing about how to circumvent the Second Amendment and take them   
   away from law-abiding civilians. If Jalo hadn’t been a jihadi, leftist   
   media organs would have given this story massive attention as yet   
   another indication that Americans can’t be trusted with weapons.   
      
   But Islamic jihadists who use firearms, or just save photos of them for   
   future reference, don’t qualify to become part of the left’s exhibit on   
   how bad guns really are. Muslim leaders are enraged at Kamala Harris   
   for the Biden-Harris regime’s continued claims to support Israel;   
   though the regime has betrayed Israel left and right, this never seems   
   to placate them. The leftist establishment doesn’t dare risk enraging   
   Muslim voters further by giving any notice to a jihad plot, much less   
   to one against a Pride Parade.   
      
   Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs (D-Of Course), meanwhile, was a parade grand   
   marshal and issued this pro forma statement: “I’m shocked and horrified   
   at the alleged plot to attack innocent Arizonans and members of the   
   LGBTQ community who attended the Phoenix Pride festival, and I’m   
   grateful for the swift actions taken by law enforcement to prevent a   
   potential tragedy. Arizonans must come together to reject hate wherever   
   we find it. I was proud to serve as Grand Marshall of the Phoenix Pride   
   parade this year, and I’ll continue to stand with the LGBTQ community   
   in the face of bigotry and violent extremism.”

   That’s right, “bigotry and violent extremism.” She is wary of being   
   specific for fear of offending Muslims. But how can authorities defeat   
   jihad when they’re afraid even to call it what it is? And that denial   
   isn’t limited just to Katie Hobbs. AZFamily noted that “the arrest of   
   Jalo, 17, highlights a trend of teenagers getting recruited or   
   influenced by terror organizations.”   
      
   It quoted Seamus Hughes of the National Counterterrorism Innovation,   
   Technology, and Education Center (NCITE) explaining: “You’re talking   
   about individuals that are just forming kind of the process of who they   
   are and trying to make sense of the world. And they’re finding that in   
   an echo chamber online that says that their extremist beliefs are   
   okay.”   
      
   Sure. There are, however, plenty of older people who share the same   
   beliefs. Hughes, Hobbs, and the rest would do better to examine the   
   nature of the jihadi appeal to young Muslims, and ponder why it   
   resonates with them, instead of just tut-tutting about “online   
   extremism.” Such an examination, however, would almost certainly lead   
   into Islamic theology and doctrine, where the timid and politically   
   correct resolutely refuse to venture. And so the denial and willful   
   ignorance that gave us Marvin Aneer Jalo will give us many other young   
   men like him.
