I can buy into that. I’ll have to remember that the next time I get set to use that line.
Hope all is well with you over there.
The Japanese intelligence services (domestic/police, what not) watch Islamists VERY closely in this country--the few they have. They are under constant, close surveillance, from what I have hear, whether they like it or not. C.A.I.R. thinks THEY got it bad in the USA... lol! I would imagine they are listened in here on at every imagineable mosque and muslim gathering, the Japanese have no illusions about these people. A whole municipal park with hundreds of vagrant Shiite Iranians was shut down in Tokyo and many unceremoniously and mercilessly rounded up and kicked out of Japan because of their security risk (about 10 years ago) that the Japanese government felt and sensed.
One SARIN attack on the subway system here, and watching the New York Towers fall eight years ago, will do that to a country. Japanese learn from their and others mistakes, generally, and usually get it right the first time.
