Jihadis and Warmunists: Brothers Under the Skin

Watching the parade of the naïve, the far left, and their energy-hogging celebrity manipulators marching in New York City this week, I was struck by how much these true believers had in common with jihadis, a notion reinforced by Purdue Professor Louis Rene Beres’ description of jihadis in Gatestone Institute and my friend “Ignatz's’" comment at Just One Minute.

Both movements seem to these authors to be a means of denying death and change and making the mortal, immortal and the insignificant individual life, a significant force when massed with others.

If this is true -- and I think it is -- we cannot defeat these irrational movements in the ordinary ways. New strategies are called for.

Warmunists. Thanks Clarice. I love it. I will start using it if I may. I included WOT in the topics since there is a war on terror included with the disdain and hate filled screeds used against us deniers by the true believers, or, warmunists.

I did notice towards the end of the piece, she used the “word” “redouble”. I hate that term. Does it mean you have to work 4 times as hard because you did nothing at all initially? Kinda sticks in my craw like “commonsense” does. Chalk on a blackboard. I’m sorry, chalkboard.

Or you could call them Warmunistas!

Okay, if we have to gender specific then. LOL!
