When you think of San Diego, you probably imagine Sea World, the Zoo, the beaches, and those kinds of touristy things. But do you think of muslim terrorism? Perhaps you should.

Two of the 9/11 hijackers stayed in San Diego, Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar. They helped fly a plane into the Pentagon. They lived in Clairemont and went to the islamic center there. They were financed by a Saudi named Omar al-Bayoumi.

There might be a connection between al-Bayoumi, a Saudi government contractor, and the Saudi royal family. President Obama is slow-walking his decision whether or not to release 28 redacted pages of 9/11 documents that allegedly connect the House of Saud to the 9/11 hijackers.

Prediction: Obama will declare that the classified documents did not pass a security review because they are too sensitive. Also, the Saudis have threatened to dump $750 billion in U.S. assets if the information is released. That's one of the sucky things about being a debtor nation. You lose a lot of leverage.

Islamic murderers don't like it when you expose their connections. A micro version of that played out this week at San Diego State University. David Horowitz of the Freedom Center scheduled a talk on campus focusing on the BDS movement and campus leftism.

Horowitz, a red diaper baby, knows plenty about campus leftism. That's basically what the BDS movement is, and affiliated organizations like SJP are. Freedom Center supporters posted flyers around campus making connections between the BDS movement and Palestinian terrorism. BDS is funded by Hamas, and they hold campus rallies chanting, "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free." That necessarily means wiping Israel off the map.

When SDSU President Elliot Hirshman issued a response to the flyers that wasn't itself BDS boilerplate, the muslim students and their allies trapped him inside a police cruiser for two hours. Hirshman hasn't condemned the intimidation tactics of the students, but he did condemn the "hate speech" of the flyers.

When looking at the image of the police car surrounded by protesters, the image that leaps to mind is the University of Missouri protests from last year. Protesters surrounded UM President Timothy Wolfe's car during a homecoming parade, and linked arms together.

Wolfe eventually stepped down, conditioning college protesters everywhere to expect victories of their own. Nobody remembers that the University of Missouri protests began because of a poop swastika.

But everybody is aware of what a shambles UM has become. They are expecting a freshman class of fewer than 5,000, a drop of nearly 1,500 students from last year.
