Terrorists cant stop Armies, Money and Oil.

...Under Mao's theory of revolutionary warfare, the killer fish swim among much larger schools of relatively harmless fish, using them for cover, until a good opportunity to strike arises. The sharks may simply be biding their time in your homeland.

Or, worse. In most insurgency handbooks the sharks work to get some of the otherwise peaceful killed, then treat the victims as martyrs, have dramatic and public funerals with a procession through the streets where they can riot and repeat the process over and over again.

There are so many ways that sharks can use the large schools of fish, not the least of which is a form of "useful idiot" to provide an ideological smoke screen. Peaceful muslims are caught between supporting Islam and supporting extremism, so in defending Islam they appear to be defending extremism. When peaceful muslims do raise a voice to denounce extremism, the press does not report it since it is not provocative enough. In a way similiar to overworked parents/teachers where only the naughty kids get any attention. So, the Western media are also useful idiots for the islamic extremists.

"Lenin called them "useful idiots," those people living in liberal democracies who by giving moral and material support to a totalitarian ideology in effect were braiding the rope that would hang them. Why people who enjoyed freedom and prosperity worked passionately to destroy both is a fascinating question, one still with us today. Now the useful idiots can be found in the chorus of appeasement, reflexive anti-Americanism, and sentimental idealism trying to inhibit the necessary responses to another freedom-hating ideology, radical Islam.

"Elements within the British establishment were notoriously sympathetic to Hitler. Today the Islamists enjoy similar support. In the 1930s it was Edward VIII, aristocrats and the Daily Mail; this time it is left-wing activists, The Guardian and sections of the BBC. They may not want a global theocracy, but they are like the West’s apologists for the Soviet Union — useful idiots. Anthony Browne, The Times"
