This is why Islamic radicalism spreads so easily: liberal “intelligentsia” are constantly minimizing the danger, and, again, I’m not sure why, when everything the Islamists want is in direct opposition to what Liberals want. Anyway, here’s Excitable Paul Krugman, who lives a nice 1%er life in a McMansion well away from the areas that Islamists would attack

So what was Friday’s attack about? Killing random people in restaurants and at concerts is a strategy that reflects its perpetrators’ fundamental weakness. It isn’t going to establish a caliphate in Paris. What it can do, however, is inspire fear — which is why we call it terrorism, and shouldn’t dignify it with the name of war.
The point is not to minimize the horror. It is, instead, to emphasize that the biggest danger terrorism poses to our society comes not from the direct harm inflicted, but from the wrong-headed responses it can inspire. And it’s crucial to realize that there are multiple ways the response can go wrong.
You can certainly see the Leftist idiocy in those two paragraphs, but, I have thrown them in as highlights leading up to this
Finally, terrorism is just one of many dangers in the world, and shouldn’t be allowed to divert our attention from other issues. Sorry, conservatives: when President Obama describes climate change as the greatest threat we face, he’s exactly right. Terrorism can’t and won’t destroy our civilization, but global warming could and might.
See? All these Islamic jihadis and their attempts to sow fear (and, really, they are just the violent arm of the Islamist movement. It’s really the non-violent ones, who use our laws and societal mores against us that are the bigger danger) are just tiny things when it comes to Hotcoldwetdry!
So much so that Warmists will run all over the nation and world putting out vast amounts of carbon pollution.
