Oh dear. Don’t know what went wrong there. I wanted the word still in italics, not the rest of the text. Ah well.

I know that bit was tangential but I do think we need to take it into account that they do not still cite the Crusades as a good reason for attacking the West. They have started doing so very recently. For centuries those largely unsuccessful attempts to roll back Islamic expansion were ignored by Muslim historians as being of no interest or importance. However, recent Muslim writers have realized that mentioning the Crusades brings on fits of guilt in the West, especially among people who know nothing about the history, so they do it. This is a war of propaganda as well as bullets and explosives, so these things matter.

I have given up on “love thy neighbor” because it may just get you killed.

These are very serious crimes. The FBI is to be congratulated for connecting the dots in a case where the perps have left only a few cleverly disguised dots. It is amazing what skilled questioners can uncover.
