I read a qood piece about this on Facebook, but can't find because you know Facebook. Anyway the point goes something like this:
While radical islamist terrorism is scary, people should try to remember that there is nothing that suggests that radical islamist terrorism is a serious threat to the western way of life.
Remember, these groups are not holding anything back. They already consider themselves in an all out war with us. They've been saying for two decades now that they're doing anything they can to destroy us. In other words, they've already been striking at us as hard as they can, as often as they can, and with every possible way they can think of.
The sum total of what they can throw at us in the Western hemisphere has proven to be a handful of guys with a few guns and sometimes but quite rarely bombs. Sometimes they only have knives.
Everyone else is on the other side.
