I believe Muslims believe the jihadist are the advanced guard: The detachment sent ahead of the main force to ensure its uninterrupted advance; to protect the main body against surprise; to facilitate the advance by removing obstacles and repairing roads and bridges; and to cover the deployment of the main body if it is committed to action.
Those in our country are sitting back and getting ready for the advance when the time is ripe for the next political move. They are laying the groundwork in a quiet methodical manner.
I believe you’re 100% correct. You nailed it. Yours is the best, most logical, common sense explanation/description of the battle we’re currently in.
Advanced guard, detachment, facilitate the advance - yes, absolutely. You really nailed it. This is indeed war.
Yes, laying the groundwork. Colleges, almost all, have Muslim Student Association - we all know what they’re about. Elementary children in public schools throughout the nation learn the 5 pillars of islam, and are forbidden from mentioning God, celebrating/mentioning Christmas, even though over 80% of America is Christian. Brainwashing the compliant masses - another tactic. Our muslim neighbors, proclaim themselves victims immediately after horrific terror attacks.
