We now know the identity of the female half of the San Bernardino terrorist attack:
Since news today that San Bernardino shooter Tashfeen Malik is said to have posted a pledge of allegiance to ISIS around the time she and her husband killed 14 people Wednesday, the world’s attention has shifted to the mysterious mother-turned-murderer.In one sense, this isn't particularly surprising -- women, like men, are capable of doing horrific things. If women weren't capable of such behavior, there would be no need for women's prisons. It's human nature we worry about.
Malik, a photograph of whom was obtained by ABC News, was born in Pakistan but moved to Saudi Arabia 25 years ago when she was about four years old. When she was older, she likely moved back and forth between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, according to a source close to the Saudi Arabian government.
It's problematic for those who prefer narratives over news, though. Our betters have been instructing us that we need to take more refugees from Syria and other environs because many of the refugees are women and children. Do we have to rethink that assumption now? I don't have that answer, but we'd better consider the question carefully.

Who is Steve Finnell?
An annoying guy who spams blogs with comments of that sort. Ol' Steve hadn't spammed my blog in a long time. I'm surprised. The spam filter must not be working so well these days.
i think he's disturbed.
It sounds like he is a really fun guy! :)
He does it sporadically enough at my site that I think he's real and not a spambot. Visited his site once out of curiousity, and let's just say that he's got some interesting views that would not get him past an ordination council in any denomination I can think of.
