I'm only on the 20th page of the longer one but it is positively jarring. What might be most alarming is that I find myself agreeing with the critiques made on western (American) society - the ones they propose to exploit, and indeed are exploiting already.
Totally agreed, jarring. And one has to wonder, or at least I do, is there the capacity on our side to develop the same or greater degree of insight into their jihad-culture and thought processes that the texts seem to have attained wrt Western thinking? And if so, would there really be any functionality? Clearly, these texts weren't written by camel-humping savages. They arguably govern the actions of C-H savages, but the strategic thinking is very sophisticated in its diabolical, Machiavellian way. I'm absolutely not advocating an extended period of kumbaya here, I'm asking the question rhetorically. IOW, this so-called culture reveres things that Western society utterly reviles: death, revenge, absolute conformity and submission to a pre-medieval and inflexible and unchallengeable way of life. And if that state cannot be attained by them, then death is the preferred outcome. How can we outthink that? Most likely, we can't. Ergo we go to "kill them all", which only falls into their stated gameplan and is a strategy we're at best second-comers to. Checkmate?
Imagine time-transporting back to 1938, when by most reckonings few really understood the depth of evil the Nazis were capable of and the horror that was about to unfold; perhaps that was an ironic strength. The free world ended up rising to the occasion; and might not have in 1938 had 1945 Auschwitz and 1942 Leningrad pictures been available at that point.
