Re: your #739

Good, articulate and rational explanation.

Yes, I certainly fear the sane and evil ones more than this guy.

You said — “Yes, I certainly fear the sane and evil ones more than this guy.”

And certainly those are the ones we should really be looking for and aware of. They are the really dangerous ones. And they are not really “insane”. Their values are certainly different than the Judeo-Christian heritage that we come from. We have built up our value systems over the centuries from this heritage. And while their value systems and their religion *is* evil and despicable — it is not insane.

I know that people describe their actions as “insane” but they’re not — in the same sense as this particular guy’s is. He’s living in this society (that we’re in) and he can’t cope here — right here. The jihadists live in a different society (and I’m not a relative moralist either, it’s an evil and despicable society they have created for themselves). But, they can cope within the framework that they have created for themselves and they are not insane. They are rational and capable of carrying out their goals. That’s why they were successful at what they did on 9/11. And that’s why they *are so troublesome* in trying to eliminate them. Face it, we’re having *great problems* eliminating this threat. It’s not going away. They are not insane. They are shrewd and crafty and evil. They know very well what they are doing and they can accomplish a lot of damage.

That’s what people have to realize, and not be worried about this nutjob of a guy (in the real sense of being “insane”) and whether he’s a “jihadist”. In no way is he a jihadist. If he is, we’ll have no problems with the war against these terrorist (if they’re all like him). But they’re not. He’s just a nutjob...
