That we know ISIS uses social media so well because it's recruits have used it all their lives and know how to make the most of it doesn't offer any comfort in the manner in which they are such a threat to us. I doubt the leaders of yesteryear, Churchill, would sit idly by and not try to prevent them from using it. BTW: Why are we not preventing them from its access? Because it's so difficult to do, doing so would violate the principles of democracy we cherish so fundamentally? Another thing, somebody really should come up with some alternative to Arab Spring. Maybe in the beginning the Arab attitude offered the hope that it would become less radical, Obama isn't Arab) but that lasted a day and a half. Arab Spring is so cynical,so patronizing, even Friedman from the Times might agree.

Simple question.
Why hasn’t Twitter and Facebook etc already shut their accounts down?
If anyone posts anything deemed racist, they soon get their accounts shut down.

Robert R Reilly, former VOA Director during Operation Iraqi Freedom & author of Closing of the Muslim Mind How Intellectual Suicide Created the Islamist Crisis, sets several principles.
If you’re going to engage in a war of ideas:
1) Understand your opponents’ ideas.
2) Have an idea yourself.
Focusing on #1 while ignoring #2 is essentially futile.
Our schools have hypnotized our people with multiculturalism, throwing out some of the acme of human thought with the Dead White Males.
If they had been Dead African Females, the ideas would have been thrown out on the trash heap with some other moronic slogan.
The point was to destroy civilization and culture so a pernicious anti intellectual elite could shake down society.
Hence what you see all around you now.
When the Muslim hordes sweep over civilization, what can they pick out of the ruins we’ve left them?
