Do Not Disturb Hibernating Bears

I was responding to a comment at Lalbadshah's Domain by Lalbadshah himself about how we need to "understand" the jihadis to defeat them. I don't think so.

It is like saying we must understand the Nazis to defeat them. It is the only way we can stop them. Crap. Utter crap.

Every few decades Islam gets a new savior and wars ensue. This time the savior is a return to "the old time religion", the glory days of Mohammed the conquerer and a time when what he preached in terms of civil organization was an advance.

Civilization has come a ways since the 7th century. The "jihadis" want to take us back. Equal rights for women? Not in the jihadi trick book.

Let me give the jihadis a subtle warning: Do not meddle in the affairs of Westerners. They are slow to anger but utterly ruthless when aroused. Remember who dropped the bombs in the world's first atomic war?
