Nous sommes tous Infidèles
To echo the famous sentiment of the September 13, 2001 Le Monde editorial, and perhaps - through my poor grasp of the French language - mistakenly claim that everyone is unfaithful, we are all infidels now.
These Islamofascist terrorists will target anyone that doesn't share their oppressive dark-age view on life obtained by extremist interpretations of their professed religion. That includes women, children, Muslims and non-Muslims alike.
These are the people that we have been fighting in Afghanistan, that we are defending Iraq from and that we continue to hunt in the wider plains of the world.
These are the people that the war on terror is against. We must not forget this, nor must we blur the distinctions between ordinary Muslims living normal, peaceful, free, constructive lives and those who want to destroy the liberty that is afforded to the entire western world by representative democracy and individual liberty and economic freedom.
The terrorists aim to make this a war between Islam and the rest of the world. They do not realise that they will not succeed in this ambition because the cultural fabric of the free world is strengthened by the interweaving of diverse at numerous threads. We must not aid the aims of those who wish to enslave us by unpicking the threads of our rich culture for them.
