Where there's a William ...

Dots

A modest Where's Waldo-type exercise:

  • "... Dzhokhar and his brother were motivated by extremist Islamic beliefs ... he and his brother wanted to defend Islam from the U.S."

  • "Rioters have lit fires and stoned emergency services in the suburbs of Stockholm for the third night in a row after a man was shot dead by police. ... Police in the deprived, largely immigrant suburb of Husby shot a man dead last week after he reportedly threatened to kill them with a machete." 
 
  •  “All the signs indicated this is a terrorist attack. ... It’s obviously carefully planned.”... The attackers shouted "Allahu Akbar" (the Arabic expression meaning "God is Great"), according to Whitehall sources - BBC News.
Connect the dots and decide for yourself what - and where - the trend line points. 

If you can, don't be there then.  In the mean time, make yourself as well prepared as you are able and that includes ready to win the aftermath too.  Jihad has always been an individual action and that's the level it will have to be defeated at ultimately.  The jihadist is always on desperate ground and must be responded to in that light.  Make ready ...
