#1 Wretchard posted this in Belmont Club; it seems appropriate here:
"Islamic societies everywhere are being corroded, perhaps fatally, by the Jihad against the infidel. Their own choice of symbol -- the suicide bomber -- perhaps best illustrates the ultimate effect of their mode of warfare. The headless, explosive-shattered corpse may represent not simply the fate of the individual attacker but the society which spawned him. The Jihad expels a terrible toxicity as a waste product, which like carbon monoxide in a submarine, poisons the entire atmosphere till unchecked it is nothing but a cylindrical metal tomb." |
