Bullet points seem appropriate, but too complicated and scary for me.
- I suggest the jihadists and their promoters have two principal aims: 1. to cripple western liberal society which they hate and 2. to drive a wedge between non-muslims and those majority muslims who wish to co-exist.
- We have seen that it takes just 1-3 jihadis to cause major tragedy and disruption in western cities. They can command hundreds if not thousands of them and they're all willing to die.
- A campaign of jihad attacks in major western cities could continue for years, with even one major or minor attack a month. They cannot be identified in the main or prevented from carrying out random attacks. As I've already pointed out, traitors like Assange & Snowden have weakened even our surveillance defences.
- Can you imagine, as attacks continue over a sustained period, how much angst will surface in western society. The propensity for universal brotherhood will be severely tested. Suspicion of muslims in general will flourish.

WE, IN THE WEST, should be - THINKING IN A DIFFERENT WAY -
about how we regard the presence of moslem communities, dwelling among us, in the West.
We should be thinking of every moslem community living among us, as though that moslem community, were an introduced 'pathogen' or even a 'cancer' [introduced into the body of our Western society/societies].
In a medical sense, while a pathogen is able to fool our 'immune system' into thinking that it [the pathogen] poses no threat to our body [
by remaining 'invisible' to our 'immune system'], the body and the immune system is not 'alerted', that it needs to fight back against that pathogen !
And that is how cancers are able to kill our body.
Cancers fool [and weaken!] the immune system, into believing that cancer cells are part of our body.
.....hence there is very rarely any effective immune system response, against many cancers!
And that is 'the place' where we in the West, are today vis-a-vis ISLAM and moslems, living within Western nations!Our 'immune system' doesn't yet 'know', that a dangerous and hostile 'pathogen' is 'at work', and growing, within our 'body'.
ISLAM - today - is [in effect], an introduced 'pathogen' which has a significant presence within 'the body' of every Western liberal society!
But why should we regard ISLAM as a harmful 'pathogen'?Because the societal values which ISLAM promotes, are [almost all] harmful to, and incompatible with, the ideals and values which societies in West nations aspire to - e.g. truth, justice, freedom [to choose!].
And 'the moslem' [even when he is living among us] will always remain an 'agent' of ISLAM. [Google;
Shahada, confession of faith, of a muslim]
And ISLAM, and 'the moslem', will always remain a real 'existential threat' to us, and to everything which we hold dear.
But 'the moslem' has fooled many parts of our 'body', into believing that ISLAM [and 'the moslem'] poses no threat to us.
"ISLAM is a peaceful and tolerant faith." ...."ISLAM promotes peace and harmony." .....hence we see no 'immune system' response!
And whilesoever those very moslem communities, living among, us remain largely 'weak and ineffectual', those moslems will continue to pretend that they mean us no harm.
But the moslems living among us, are
inexorably becoming more numerous.
And we are all moving inexorably towards some form of 'tipping point'.
And when that 'tipping point' arrives, there will be a lot of 'turmoil' [and confusion].

Quote:How Circumstance Dictates Islamic Behavior

Preach Peace When Weak, Wage War When Strong
"...all notions of peace with non-Muslims are based on circumstance.
When Muslims are weak, they should be peaceful; when strong, they should go on the offensive."

Live in peace till strong enough to wage jihad, says UK Deoband scholar to Muslims
London, Sept.8 [2007]
A Deobandi scholar believes Muslims should preach peace till they are strong enough to undertake a jihad, or a holy war.
Justice Muhammad Taqi Usmani was quoted by the BBC as saying that Muslims should live peacefully in countries such as Britain, where they have the freedom to practise Islam, only until they gain enough power to engage in battle.
A former Sharia judge in Pakistan's Supreme Court, 64-year-old Usmani, is...a regular visitor to Britain.
Polite and softly spoken....
He agreed that it was wrong to suggest that the entire non-Muslim world was intent on destroying Islam, but justifies an aggressive military jihad as a means of establishing global Islamic supremacy.
