The Muslim world has no other option than to attack soft targets, because our military superiority is so overwhelming, Trump and the Israelis are so arrogant in their theft of land, that the Muslim countries feel they must retaliate. By attacking these targets, they will sow fear and distrust, and will totally shut down religious, social and tourist events. Wait until they hit a Cruise ship on the high seas, this could cause thousands of casualties and ruin the industry.
We are increasingly aware we are in a world war. 1300 years of islam expansion by the sword. how can we not be paying attention to the danger? The US is isolated. The rest of the world is in the war.
38,900+ attacks by the believers in peace since 9-11: how can that not be a clue?
Cruise ship attack - it takes a lot to change peoples long term behaviour, though a successful sinking of a cruise ship may be detrimental to the industry for weeks, maybe months, people readily sink back to their usual behaviours - people still send kids to school all across america.
Military superiority is ineffective against any sort of guerilla tactics - the small group of aggressors always have the upper hand, particularly if they are prepared to die in an attack.
They already captured a cruise ship once. They could do it again. Note, few remember that attack or theJewish guy in a wheelchair thrown overboard.
Suicide bombs are almost by definition weapons of the weak and when you look at the numbers Muslim victims outnumber aggressors by a huge margin. As badly as it sucks for the individuals peaceful Palestinians being killed by soldiers are a good way to bring attention to the injustices they suffer.
Soft muslims are the main target of the literal-islamists: 38,000+ attacks since 9-11.
The Muslim world is people like Mr Akkram, who runs the shop in the village I live in. He doesn't want to attack anyone; he just wants people to buy stuff from his shop while he sits behind the counter watching cricket on television, then go home at 10pm to see his wife and kids. That's what 99.9% of all other Muslims are like, too, though they might be working in hospitals or schools or the army or any one of a million other jobs instead of running shops.
The people who attack Sri Lankan churches and hotels, innocent people in the street, synagogues, skyscrapers and, potentially, cruise ships are fundamentalist religious nut-jobs; the fact that some of them are Muslims (of a sort) is by-the-by - they are not, and do not represent, "the Muslim world" as a whole any more than you represent all people called David or I represent all people who like marzipan.
I agree with your sentiment. However the 99.99% figure is wrong.
60+% of muslims polled in the UK answered apostates should be killed.
60+% of muslims polled in the UK answered gays should be jailed.
This does not mean those people would do the deeds. But they do not oppose it even in a country where they are safer than in any muslim controlled country.
