Everyone admires the intriguing puzzles and solutions in the stories of Sherlock Holmes. In The Adventures of Silver Blaze, the curious incident of the dog that did nothing – did not bark – in the night was the clue toward solving the mystery. Sherlock is needed to solve the mystery of why, on July 25, 2016, at the first day of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, the 61 speeches may have been full of bite, but none uttered a whisper, let alone a bark, about the menace of ISIS and Islamist terrorism.
The mystery deepens with the appalling news a few hours after the end of that first day that two Islamist terrorists, armed with knives, had entered a Catholic Church in Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray, a few miles from Rouen in Normandy, France, during morning service on July 26, 2016. They forced the octogenarian priest, Father Jacques Hamel, to kneel and filmed his death as they slit his throat. They took nuns and others hostage before they were killed by French police. ISIS promptly called them "two soldiers of the Islamic State."
Another terrorist referred to in the incident by the French police is a 24-year-old Algerian computer student named Sis Ahmed Ghlam, known to the authorities since he was arrested in April 2015 after he had called for an ambulance after he shot himself in the leg. He was arrested on suspicion of planning "imminent" terror attacks. In his car, the police discovered weapons including Kalashnikovs, a police-issued pistol, and bulletproof vests. Even more important, they found plans for terrorist attacks on other churches, including the Sacré-Cœur Basilica in Paris. This terrorist is in prison charged with the murder of a 32-year-old woman who was shot three times in the head.

Weak sauce from American Stinker.
A lot of talk about earthly political and military approaches.
The sorely missing piece of the puzzle, to me, is: who’s going to evangelize Islamic peoples. Let’s indulge the most severe military ideas for a moment — there isn’t any way the world is going to get behind killing them all, if only because far from all of them are obvious civic menaces. But the desire to do that may be eliminated if someone is blessed by God to be their Billy Graham so to speak.
What is the “strong sauce” you want? It can’t be whipped up by the arm of flesh by any means. This is battling powers of hell.
After each murder the world is shocked, then it goes back to its stupor. Is everyone stoned out of their minds? Islam is threatening the world. It kills and makes people suffer inhumanely. But there is no cry to wipe it out. The democrats, especially, have no interest in eliminating it, because they have adopted muzzards as their latest protected group, and are giving it immunity in exchange for votes and dollars.
BUMP
I thought this would be another #NeverTrump piece by Ben Shapiro.
Why would you think this? Ben Shapiro doesn’t post in American Thinker
Obviously the poster didn’t read the article.
I would like the normal reaction of a country under attack and invasion during wartime.

Instead this is their mantra:
That model won’t work here. “The Barbary Pirates” (the closest America came to such a war declaration) isn’t the same as “Every Muslim in the world.”
Even when America was fighting Barbary Pirates, they were buying black slaves off of Muslim traders, incidentally. Not spiritually on the ball at all, these geniuses.
uhh.....because Shapiro is just like Bill Kristol, Katie Pavlich and all the NeverTrumpers who think we who support him are barbarians?
Importation of slaves into the United States ended in 1808, three years after the end of the warfare with the Tripoli Pirates. While your post is factually correct, the close timing of the two events undercuts its argument.
Maybe the problems with the Barbary Pirates taught America something after all. But their legacy remained.
A guard against the menace will certainly recognize that it IS a menace.
