They don't care about your book. In their book, it says to kill the infidel, and in as large a quantity as possible. The Mall of America is a perfect target.

Apparently they are not aware that large shopping malls are dieing.

There is a website. http://deadmalls.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

No doubt this trend will accelerate if they are perceived as a jihadi target.

Malls have committed terrorist attacks against my wallet for decades.

Anyone can get on the internet and make threats. North Korea re-declares war on us 2-10 times a week.

Many believe ISIS and Al-Quaeda are "contained". I disagree. Some also think securing the border will protect us. While I whole heartily agree we need to secure our borders, I know many of the people that want to do us harm aren't sneaking into the country.

Here's some info. Notice who helped bring them here. They are here and have " opportunity " and they still choose to do us harm.

Mall's , Walmart's , any everyday place people frequent . They can shut down our economy , do you remember 9/11 ? People were scared across the country to even get out and especially to go to places where there were always lots of people . It took a year to get people back to 'normal' as far as doing business . We are not a country like Israel , Mideastern country's , Bosnia , etc witch have acclimated to living in a country at war . I was shocked at what happened to the economy when the Twin Towers went down , Many were even afraid to get out , I didn't understand it but that's the way it was , As Americans we have not had to deal with acts of terror in our own country . It's a perfect strategy for them with very little loss of men and material and they know it .

Just a few attacks on some malls across the country would just about shut us down

Securing the borders is a great idea but with the present administration in place .....................well good luck with that . It is my belief they are among us already , why would they not be ?

And the homegrown terrorists are more of a threat than ever. These are a real concern for us. Those who decide to partner with ISIS or other terror organizations and are basically invisible as they are already among us. Unless someone sees warning signs ahead of time and identifies the threat they present, they will be able to try and carry out their attack without resistance. Our job is to be vigilant and constantly be in condition yellow when we are out and about.

Incorrect. It might shut down malls without good security. Malls are dying anyway.
Went to Vegas New Year's Eve in 2011. It was wall to wall people.

If any acts of terrorism occur perhaps we should go to Vegas ? Check your history for that time period .
