#1 Now I know that these jihadidiots are starking raving loony. I mean if you are going to pick a fight - why the hell would you pick one with the Aussies. These are guys who drink mega quantities of beer then go and play football in skin tight pants, beat the pee out of each other, drink more beer and then go play with crocs just for fun!

#3 Since when is Northern Australia part of the Islamic world? Hell why not go after Antarctica too?

#4 The Caliphate is to either take over, or subjugate, the entire world. You will either be a Muslim, or you will be a Dhimmi.

What these idiots don't understand is that all the major discoveries since the 1600's have been made by people other than Muslims. When you get people who can think MAD, they think of nasty ways to eliminate the source of that anger. It doesn't look good for Islamistan.

#5 The Jihadi nutcases have four methods for advancing their cause:

1. Booming
2. Infiltrating, setting up a 5th column
3. Breeding
4. Letting useful idiots rot out the host country by tearing down the national institutions.

If the Jihadis get too frisky, they will get their asses kicked. The other three methods will have to be dealt with in order for civilization to survive. It will depend upon how serious we all are about our survival.

#6 Time to sow dissension in the Ummah by actively promoting women's rights and birth control. Portray the turban and AK set for what they are:

a bunch of small weak men afraid their women might realize they're enslaved breeders.

#7 Alaska Paul, BRILLIANT!
Gee, you must see things a lot clearer up there in our 49th state!
Would you consider leaving the beauty of the Alaskan wilderness to be an adviser to the President in Washington DC and/or to form a think tank?

#8 4. Letting useful idiots rot out the host country by tearing down the national institutions.

This type of tactic seems to work. One only need observe the efforts behind this sort of thing here in the U.S.

#9 Jennie---don't matronize me....heh heh...just kidding. Thanks for the compliment. The jihadis take our tolerance and accommodation as a sign of weakness to be exploited. And they do. It will take some more time, or another hit to clean out the jihadis and the danger that they pose to civilization (note: I did not say "Western" before civilization), I am afraid to say. I believe (and pray) that some administration types read through Rantburg regularly, sort through the chaff and offhand remarks (which are important to morale!) and use some of our ideas, if only to help to see a bigger picture. Everyone at Rantburg, even our pet trolls, contribute to the greater understanding of the Beast.

So, Jennie, in summary, we can all to this from the comfort and relative safety of our own homes and laptops. This will save the govt money, which can be better used elswhere than perdiem.

#10 Old Patriot

The last half important discovery made by a Muslim country dates from far longer than 1600. Consider that in one century no Muslim ship had been able to cross the Atlantic since 1492 and at Lepanto the Chritians found Muslim artillery so inferior that none of the captured guns was reused by them: the ones who weren't kept as trophies went to scrap metal yards and molten or used as ballast for ships.

#11 Had some beer so warning....

AP says it like it is, as does OP. OP is quite right in saying that a civilization that can contemplate megadeaths and MAD is quite prepared to annihilate an outright threat.

The problem is what AP makes clear, 'we' (as in civilization - I am also making no distinction regarding "Western" civilization) have all the symptoms in front of us, it's whether 'we' recognize them as problems or not. If we decide to, the problem will be over in less than a decade (perhaps an awful lot less if AQ gets another big hit in - see Belmont Club 'The Three Conjectures' or SDB's essays on the Jacksonian way of doing things) - if we do not see the signs in front of us, then things will be more bloody and the time frame over when all this is done with is much longer.

I do not believe we will lose this war.

What may happen is that several countries that we have always thought of as being 'Western' may be lost. However, as long as the United States holds to its true ideals of freedom and liberty, then this civilization will prevail. It may mean true megadeaths, maybe even gigadeath (and there is no way of knowing what Western civilization will become after an event of that scale), but 'that' civilization will prevail - it will not be what some bearded twat in Mecca or Qom or (place your own hick town here) decides it will be.

God, this is terrible stuff to be writing just after christmas...

#12 As insidious conspiracies go, I'd rate this around a 1.5...

Over the past couple of years, Australia has made some changes to its defense structure with regards to the northern territory. It is a vulnerable area, and could be prone to a JI-sponsored infiltration.

I think Spot has nailed it! Lemmee see, build a large mosque at the south pole; organize foot pilgrimages for the faithful.....problem solved!

#14 Remember; Australia disarmed it's honest citizens. Plus, aren't they kind of lax in regards to immigration (like the U.S.)?
As a Yank, I love the Aussies; but I fear for them.

#15 Australia accepts a relatively high number of legal immigrants, but under Howard has severely cracked down on illegal immigrants. Much tothe Left's dismay.
