The Power of Low-Level, Random, But Unceasing Violence
10th May 2015
After the Texas shooting, there is all round condemnation in the US media of Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller, the two of the greatest counterjihadists around; for indulging in “needless provocation.”
So, even in the Land of Free and the Home of Brave, after fourteen years of a brutal attack on it, there are open calls for surrender.
This only shows that dhimma can be imposed from the top, in one go, if the believers have conquered the land; or it can also be imposed from below, by imposing one provision at a time, and unleashing vigilantes on the violators.
The real strength of the Religion of Peace is the sanction of vigilantism in it. So government may be sincerely secular and tough, the press may be objective, security agencies may indeed be highly competent and able to control big-ticket terrorism, but there is no solution whatsoever to vigilantism.
If there are millions who are ready to walk up to a person who has offended them and kill him, there is nothing any police can ever do. In such situations, the only way the person can live is to go into hiding, and that is what those who run afoul of Religion of Peace do to survive. In reality they have gone for complete physical separation, though they are alone on the other side of wall.
