Last month I refuted the argument put forward by some observers that women, children, and the aged ("widows and orphans" in the thoroughly disingenuous language of Obamaspeak) would be safe populations to admit as refugees.
On December 2, Tashfeen Malik, jihadi bride of Syed Rizwan Farook, proved conclusively false the notion that these subpopulations represent no threat. Malik did this by participating in a massacre with her husband in San Bernardino, Calif., that left 14 dead and many wounded.
While Malik entered on a fiancee visa, not as a refugee, the point to be made is the same: We cannot simply assume that because of age or gender, individuals have not been tainted by the belief system of violent Islamic extremism.
