Monday's assassination of Russia's ambassador to Turkey was clearly an act of radical Islamic terrorism, conservative commentator Michelle Malkin told Newsmax TV.
During an appearance on Monday's "The Steve Malzberg Show," Malkin was asked to comment on the shooting death of Ambassador Andrey Karlov.

"This is yet another outbreak of Allahu akbar-itis, which I have been chronicling for the last 15 years and I think probably what's most horrific to me is not only that this continues unabated, but there are so many deaf, dumb, and blind apologists for jihad that will scratch their heads even after this man was caught on video tape screaming 'Allahu akbar' at the top of his lungs," Malkin said.
"And yet these people are wondering what the true motive really might be behind these acts of violence and terror."
Karlov's death was caught on video while he spoke at a gallery. His assassin was shot and killed by police.
"This is barbaric, this is evil, and yet the progressive left and the Council on American Islamic Relations will somehow marginalize it," said Malkin, a contributor to CRTV. "'This is what they always do. Oh, this is a lone wolf, this is not endemic to Islamic jihad.'
"I am just very thankful that we have a man now coming into the White House who understands the existential threat to not just America but the entire planet with regard to 'Allahu akbar'-screaming jihadists."
