The Normalization Of Terror
IBD ^ | September 19, 2007

War On Terror: A third al-Qaida video marking the 9/11 anniversary urges jihadists to make terror "a normal part of life" in America. If this doesn't wake us up to the threat, nothing will.


The video has received little press, but it's more chilling than the two earlier messages by Osama bin Laden. It calls on Islamic radicals to sow terror in the hearts of Westerners by creating a regular climate of fear.

The hope is that by turning our cities into Tel Avivs, where violence is accepted as routine, we will capitulate to the demands and ways of the jihadists.

"We must take terrorism to Western countries so that it becomes a normal part of life, like natural disasters," a voice-over says. "In that way, we will have acts of mass extermination in which people will feel that their affluence also brings death . . . and we will have created a balance of deterrence between us and them."

It would be hard to take terrorism to the cities of a western country, if they were deported or tried and executed.

Or it may just so politically marginalize Bin Laden's PR base in the Democrat Party that it results in the complete extermination of his sort of death cult.

He should ask the people of Dresden, Hirosihma, Tokyo and Berlin what happens when Americans get pissed off. Right now too many Americans think 09-11 was a one time deal, a sucker punch. They don't take Bin Laden and his ilk seriously.

They better pray that we never start hating them back.
