….this comes as no surprise; none of it. Will this new dude (later) be proclaimed as the long awaited 12th Imam?

I keep reading thinly veiled references to this new group of Jihadists (seeking another Caliphate) that imply they’re really just a rag-tag lot unlikely to succeed. That seems to be the media template at the moment, anyway.

Whistling past the graveyard?

H. Beam Piper was one of my favorites. He looked deeper and saw further than many of his era, basing much of his work in the day-to-day social and technological realities around him, extrapolating rationally from there.

(He met a tragic end. His agent lost touch with him and Piper fell into destitution. In the end, he spread a drop cloth on the floor, left a note apologizing for the mess and shot himself, unaware that his stories were selling well and he was on the way to becoming one of the “greats” in SF.)

I personally believe that Islam in any form is dangerous both to people individually and to the non-Muslim. The entire raison d’etre for a Muslim is to convert others, enslave them or kill them, in that order.

As far as ignoring them and they’ll go away goes, that’s what patriots thought about progressives a century ago. Now we have a socialist prez, a mostly socialist Congress, and socialists at every level of government panting to bring misery to those who would not bow to the power vested in them by virtue of their government employment.

Ignore these terrorists (government workers or Muslims, take your choice) at your own risk, and at the risk of generations to come.

“One cannot but ponder the question: What if the Arabs had been Christians? To me it seems certain that the fatalistic teachings of Mohammed and the utter degradation of women is the outstanding cause of the arrested development of the Arab. He is exactly as he was around the year 700, while we have kept on developing.”– General George S. Patton, June 9, 1943

The islamists are working to catch up with the rest of civilization, one day a month.
