They tells us, dear Reader, that the Dream of a new Caliphate is dead in the water - like the proverbial Dodo.
These Petty, Little, Islamic, Peons have read the tea leaves and can now see that their jig is up.
They are on the defensive throughout the Middle East and are daily losing ground to an array of opponents who are determined to put these cowards out of their self-inflicted misery.
With the ground war unraveling before their unbelieving eyes, they are now morphing into the use of guerrilla tactics - wherein they blow up innocent men, women, and children. It is the strategy of a loser and although it gets headlines, will not carry them to their hoped for ending.
And for those of them who have gone before and for those yet to join them - I can only imagine their disappointment when they find that the Fires of Hell do not harbour Vestal Virgins - rather just other cut-throats like themselves.
But that does not mean for a moment that our job is done - fact is we are still at war* with these dirt-bags but we need to change the way in which we in the West deal with them on two (2) separate fronts. *(some argue against using the term War saying this has international implications (e.g. UN) - I say nonsense - if the Baddies can declare 'war' against us - then we can bloody well declare 'war' against them back.)
So what needs changing?
First on the Individual Front. I read over the weekend that since the Paris attacks, the market places in Brussels have been deserted and with last week's attack, the few that continued to come - have now too disappeared. They should come out in droves in defiance.
In fact we as individuals everywhere should go about our daily lives as we did pre-ISIS / Al Qaeda. Dismantle the security lines at air ports - (you know the electronic strip searches) - fly often, take the subways, the buses as if they were the safest places to be on earth - go to Malls, Markets, Sports Events - Live Life to the Fullest.
When an attack happens - dust yourself off mentally - like the Londoners did when they faced down the Nazi bombers in the 1940s.
And, Second on the State Front Governments need to come clean and declare who the enemy is - that is to say Extreme Muslims who have distorted a great religion for their petty power purposes. Stop Muslim Immigration probably until the War with Radical Islam is over or at least until authorities can adequately sort the chaff from the wheat. And instead of harassing the Innocent Citizen , The Babies in Carriages, The Infirm in their Wheel Chairs, the Atheists, the Christians and the Jews - focus entirely on the Bad Guys - the Extreme Muslims. Profile, Profile, Profile - then Profile some more and do it discreetly.
Unfortunately innocent Muslims will get caught up in this but since the Bad Muslims hide out among them - this is inevitable. Plus there is some benefit to this - the problem of Extremist Muslims is a problem for all Muslims and only they can effectively - by collectively put an end to this reign of terror.
As i see it...
