It's kind of funny isn't it? The Nazis never attacked America, never pulled a "Pearl Harbor". Yet we waged war against Germany and virtually obliterated the nation, flattened entire cities, to defeat them-and no one whined about America or the allies for doing so. Yet violent savages commit a genocide against the people of Israel for 3/4 of a century, Gazans committed some of the worst atrocities against Jews in history. Slaughtered 1200 innocent people, and kidnap 250 more. Yet when Israel finally responds, wages war against a cowardly enemy hiding behind their own women and children, did so with a lower civilian/combatant death rate than any army in history. and simple-minded idiots attack and denounce them. The amount of hate and anti-Semitism in this country is frankly shocking, Especially by people that hide their hate and anti-Semitism over a "concern" for the rapist and butchers of Hamas.
I'm hoping Americans are waking up to the threat that violent Islam poses to America, and around the world. An Islamic "convert" in my old home-town was attempting a terror attack in my former home-town, where he was going to slaughter Americans attending church, Fortunately the FBI shut him down-the day before the attack was to take place.
The Germans did attack the US in late 1941 and early 1942. Within a day or two of Pearl Harbor the Germans declared war on the United States so the u-boats which were on the way into US coastal waters could operate "legally". The US was sending a lot of oil to Britain. The tankers would load up in Texas or Louisiana and hug the US coastal waters around Florida and up the east coast to Nova Scotia where they would be formed into convoys and cross the Atlantic.
The British were getting much better at anti-submarine warfare, but the USN was not prepared for war. To make matters worse the US sent most of its destroyers based on the east coast out into the Atlantic to battle u-boats as soon as the war started. They were out there with the British trying to find u-boats when most of them were in US coastal waters sinking tankers. A couple of u-boats would sit on the surface off Miami and use the lights of the city to silhouette the tankers. They could set up their torpedo shots by watching the shadow of the tanker move in front of the lights.
There are a lot of tankers off the east coast that divers dove on today because the water is fairly shallow. There are also a couple of submarines that got caught or had accidents. A few submarines made their way into the Gulf of Mexico too.
Admiral Doenitz pulled back his subs in February 1942 because he believed the US was going to get wise to what was going on and move more anti-submarine assets to the coastal waters. Subs are very vulnerable in shallow water, so if the US had started patrolling the coastal waters, losses would have mounted quickly.
The campaign did have an effect. The US went on a crash program to build more tankers, but operations in the Pacific were still affected in early 1944 by a tanker shortage. Supply finally began to meet demand by mid-1944 when the largest naval operations started and fuel demand in Europe skyrocketed after D-Day in Europe.
When was the attempted attack on your former home town? Now that the US has ended most of it's military activity in Muslim countries (only a small force in Iraq and Syria to fight ISIS), attempts in the US has declined. When the FBI is looking for it, it is very effective at stopping organized attacks before they happen. The biggest danger is lone wolf attacks by people who are not talking about it to anyone before it happens.
Striking the United States when the intelligence services are watching is difficult. There is not much of a native population to hide amongst. The US Muslim population is only 1.1%. Canada has a little bit larger Muslim population (by percentage) at 4.9%, and Mexico's is essentially non-existent (5500 people total).
Israel's native Muslim population is 18% and the country is surrounded by dominant Muslim populations. There are a lot of places for radical Muslims to hide.
The problem is not inherent to the religion, it's the way a weaker force fights a strong modern army. Insurgencies can be very effective ways to defeat a force that would otherwise crush them in an open fight. The bulk of insurgent forces, and just about all the ones we ever hear about are Muslim because just about all of the contact between modern armies and weaker, native forces in the world have been in parts of the world which have a lot of Muslims for the last 50 years.
Since WW II there have been some insurgent fights in places that were not predominantly Muslim such as Vietnam or Malaysia, but while those fights are in living memory, they have faded into history. The technology of the 21st century has also enabled insurgents to extend the fight well beyond their local villages and cities. They have been using social media to spread their cause to western countries. Al Qaeda had a whole media wing to educate people on how to conduct attacks in western countries. And it did result in some people becoming radicalized in western countries and taking action, but the intelligence services shut most operations down before they happened.
Hamas and other Palestinian organizations have run a campaign on social media the last few years to win over non-Muslims in the west to their cause. They are not doing anything to encourage violence outside Israel/Palestine. Instead they are calling for democratic action to pressure governments to cut off Israel. The Oct 7 attack was planned to trigger a big response from Israel that would get this population already primed to be pro-Palestine screaming at their governments.
Netanyahu fell into their trap perfectly. Netanyahu desperately wants to cling onto power at all costs because he faces criminal charges once he's out of office and conducting a long war against Hamas is a perfect excuse for him. The IDF conducted an aggressive campaign against Hamas and because Hamas situated all their bases around sensitive civilian sites like hospitals, the Israelis have had to attack these civilian sites to get at Hamas and caused a lot of civilian casualties as well as destroyed what infrastructure Gaza had.
On top of this some idiots have proposed bulldozing Gaza and building luxury condos. Jared Kushner among them.
I think the risk of Muslim attacks on the US because of what's going on in Israel/Palestine are fairly low. Probably not completely zero, but low. Hamas wants Americans to believe that the Palestinians are the innocent victims of Israeli aggression and sponsoring any attacks on the US would destroy that narrative.
