Against Jihad, a Quantum of Solace Is Not Enough

Writing in the New York Times, a columnist for the lefty Guardian ponders the latest "lone wolf" Muslim attack on London with a celebration of restraint:

“The growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts,” George Eliot wrote in “Middlemarch.” On Thursday, in a statement to the House of Commons about the attack that had occurred right outside Parliament the day before, Prime Minister Theresa May echoed that sentiment, paying tribute to the “ millions of acts of normality” that are the most powerful weapons against extremist violence. This was London’s counterattack: to show that it takes more than a murderous rampage through Westminster to shut down this mighty city.

Pardon my French, but what a steaming pile of horse manure. No one ever said that a single act of Mohammedan violence could shut down a great city; what shuts down a great city is its takeover by Islam. Has any city ever had its quality of life, art and culture improve by a Muslim conquest? The point of the recent attack was not to "shut down" London but to remind the native English that it's only a matter of time before their city falls, as Baghdad, Cairo and others have fallen before it. Like SPECTRE, Islamists have people everywhere:

Why is it called “Quantum of Solace”?

🔫. Bond. James Bond. Some sort of comparison to the movie?

The left wants muzzies to come in and overrun their countries. Here is proof.

ponders the latest "lone wolf" Muslim attack

Did I hear wrong? I thought there were other arrests made now... upwards of 9 or so? Perhaps it was a "lone wolf pack".

"Quantum of Solace" definition: a precise figure defining the comfort, humanity and fellow feeling required between two people for love to survive. If the quantum of solace is 0, then love is dead.

I don't get the "quantum" part.

The head of Interpol said last year that protection from this type of attack was only possible with massive police presence or substantial carrying of weapons by civilians. I believe he specified a preference for the latter.

All of Europe needs their own Second Amendment.

The Left wants the world to sing, in perfect harmony.

They don’t believe that Muslims will try to take them over (no, conservative Christians do that), no, the Muslims will join with them in a perfect multicultural quilt.

Give them a coke and start singing.

In physics, a quantum (plural: quanta) is the minimum amount of any physical entity involved in an interaction. In this context, the minimum possible bit of human comfort.

Excellent.

I have said many times, to ad nauseam:

Fighting a perverted, extremist belief system, held by millions of people is like fighting earthquakes.

We will learn to live and die with these jihadists. Of course we don’t like it, may not understand it, but we have to accept it and kill as many of them as we can.

Only when respected leaders of that belief system, strongly condemn and act against their own followers, likely for generations, will their be the beginnings of peace.

Figure it out, Islam has historically been at war and has oppressed everyone of its neighbors, always..... The core of their beliefs constantly warps too many of its believers, to have any other result.

If their core beliefs don’t change, the followers won’t change.

It’s really quite simple.
