We saw the same thing 10 years ago; it was called ISIS, and still hasn’t fully disappeared. We cried for the Yazidi and any family that didn’t fully toe the line. Today several nations are apologists for those who abandoned civilization for hell on earth, contemplating reuniting former adherents with their families back home.

I don’t recall university protests on this at the time, but that’s just my memory. The same barbaric ideology that drove ISIS is at the core of Hamas, perhaps with local goals and less training, but the same.
I subscribe to a newsletter that reports jihadist activities to me, often as many as 20, every day. A common theme is the new adherent who goes out to commit an atrocity, always with the question ‘where did he study Islam, to instruct him that terrorism is the path?’, and unified disinterest on the part of police authorities. I used to scoff, but it’s a real question and demands an answer…and the atrocities continue.
I’ll pick a start date of 1972, the Munich Olympics tragedy, when a good piece of the world asked ‘what is this and how do we stop it?’. Yes…the Muslim nations were unified in their apathy. Atrocities continued, and there was similar outrage after 9/11…except now the media cowers, still ‘looking for answers’, and providing no criticism.
This latest news is part of the continuum of barbarism, and we can expect more. But…instead of condemnation, or even apathy, we find people applauding, celebrating, and soon calling for moderation of response so they don’t lose their sense of victory.
This is civilization against barbarism, and if it continues the future doesn’t bode well for any of us.
