The real reason behind ISIS, Part 1.

In an essay here on this blog in early October of last year, I quoted Robert Spencer:

"...given the policies of the Macron government regarding mass Muslim migration, and the stigmatization, demonization and persecution of everyone who dares to oppose the Muslim migrant influx, before too long jihad terrorism won’t be necessary anyway, any more than it is in Saudi Arabia."

And I observed:

"This observation of Spencer's is wrong on so many levels, I won't have time to unpack them all here.  Perhaps the main flaw is his clear implication that Muslims will be able to achieve their Islamic goal of successfully thorough Islamization of France (and, by logical implication, the thorough Islamization  of any Western country more or less as stupid as France in this regard, and that's still most of them) -- without massive, widespread, and intense violence tantamount to frank warfare (though probably resembling paramilitary guerrilla warfare through to its bitter and chaotic end)."

I didn't add in that context, but will now, the salient point that the only reason why Muslims aren't moving into their next phase of Jihad -- violent Jihad on a scale sufficient to overpower the entire West -- is because they must realize they don't have the capability. Yet.

Then, back in October of 2016, in an essay I wrote on my old blog The Hesperado -- titled "Apparently the Constitution is a Suicide Pact..." -- I quoted one "Wellington", a typical Counter-Jihad Toughie-On-The-Outside-But-Nougaty-Soft-On-The-Inside, who deposited the following sweet-smelling turd in Jihad Watch comments:

Let's face it, the vast majority of Muslims in America, confused human beings though they are (on this I know we can agree), do not commit any ACTS which are prosecutable. 

And I answered, at the time:

"Apparently, these past 13 years of reading Jihad Watch have failed to impress upon Wellington the uniqueness of this asymmetrical world war we are in.  That rather revealing off-the-cuff remark of his reflects what I would call the State Dept. Counter-Terrorism Expert Analysis Protocol of the Eternal "Whack-a-Mo" Initiative.  Which will only work to save us if the problem of Muslims following their global revival of Islam is not, in fact, systemic and metastasizing.  Is Wellington so sure he'd like to bet that it isn't?"

So if Muslims can't finalize their Jihad against the West now, how would they be able to in the future? Short answer: By transferring enough millions of Muslims into the West to settle in, lay down roots, and burrow in deeply into the various interstices of our societies such that at some future date -- I would say probably no sooner than 100 years from now -- they will be able to rise up and engage in a massive, broad, diffuse campaign of violence.  Sort of an "Intifada to end all Intifadas".

Why wait 100 years? Simply because they realize the time is not right: they don't have the numbers yet, and they don't have the depth of penetration throughout the West.

Yet.
