We can, as Ayaan Hirsi Ali nicely put it, ‘spread the risk’. If we all stand up and repeat what caused the supposed ‘offence’, then tomorrow any individual who might have self-censored out of fear will realize they’re not an isolated target, but just one target amongst countless thousands. The risk is spread between us to the point where the danger faced by any one individual becomes negligable again. |
Is he saying that if they make more targets, that the extremists will be forced to spread themselves too thin to make any type of attack meaningful? Because if so, I really doubt that would happen.
They will just pick one target and focus their resources on it. I don't thinks most extremists are really that organized.
