The quote is beautiful but exsanguinates with irony as applied to the recent incidents in Paris. Is Paris France, not “The City of Light” or perhaps, as it is often referred, “The City of Love”? While MLK’s quote was certainly applicable to the ignorance of racism, it has no bearing and less merit when applied to terrorism instituted by fundamentally psychopathic jihadists.
There is no capacity of love or enlightenment great enough to combat jihadi assholery. We cannot love the visceral hate for the infidel out of a suicide bomber. There is no measure of light or reason great enough to keep planes in the sky as we know all too well. The only mitigation to jihadi violence is firepower superiority and .556 rounds to the cranial vault.
At some point we will realize the idiocy of our endeavor to re-program a corrupted hard drive and get down to business or get out. Until then, wolves will hide amongst the sheep as they are shepherded into our countries and more senseless blood will be shed. The tenacity of the ideologue grows with every victory. If a simple handful of terrorists can cripple a peaceful nation, imagine what an army can do.
Make ready your arms ladies and gents; Jihadi 2.0 is coming soon to a city near you. Will you be ready?
