Evolving Threats

Guardian UK: France attack: use of truck in Nice demonstrates evolving nature of threat - Isis and al-Qaida affiliates have struck France repeatedly in recent years, but the use of a seemingly ordinary truck is new
“If you are not able to find a bomb or a bullet, then smash his head with a rock, or slaughter him with a knife, or run him over with your car, or throw him down from a high place, or choke him, or poison him … If you are unable to do so, then burn his home, car, or business. Or destroy his crops. If you are unable to do so, then spit in his face,” he said. (Abu Muhammad al-Adnani, the chief spokesman of Isis)

This is the rantings of a terribly twisted minds. God forbid these monsters ever get their hands on WMD's of any variety. These are the enemies of humanity. Unfortunately, we have little defense against such people when they have figured out they can spread their disease easily via the nets. This is the darkside of modern mass communication. The Nazis did the same thing with radio.

Yes, they have no moral compass that says, hey wait a minute, don't do this, this is bad. They would explode the bomb without a second thought. I hate that it's all about killing innocent people, at the mall, at a gathering, at a concert. This is really bad.
