7/7

Today reminds us that this is war. Not in the conventional sense, of course, but it is a war.

As long as the Jihadists breathe no one is safe, not even their co-religionists who work with the "infidels" for democracy in Iraq and Afghanistan. Indeed, they are "infidels".

Our friends in Europe are even more at risk than those of us in North America. Islamism has been spreading, unchecked, throughout that continent for more than a decade.

Apologists for Islam will say "every religion has its bad actors". Well, of course, inasmuch as any group of sinful humans is made up of -- sinful humans.

But what is it about this religion that spawns so many hellhounds?

The answer lies in the life of their "prophet". It is as important today to understand Mohammed and the Koran as it was it 1930 to know "Mein Kampf", in 1950 to study "The Communist Manifesto".

Know thy enemy.

That said, it would not shock us if these bombings were not the direct work of Jihadistan, rather of domestic terrorists, those unwashed, masked anarchists who ascend from the sewers every time a major economic summit is held.

It also would not surprise us if they had operational support from the Jihadists.

Madmen of a feather ...
