So how did that global “Day of Jihad” go?

After former Hamas leader Khaled Mashal ordered a “global day of Jihad,” security precautions were being taken all around the United States. Some schools were closed and extra police officers – particularly in New York City – were stationed near synagogues and Jewish schools. People were told to be on the alert and ‘if you see something, say something.’ These all seemed like sensible and potentially vital precautions to me because the United States is sadly no stranger to radical Islamic terror attacks.
