Murderous terror strikes by islamist organizations, mostly related to ISIS, are clear assaults against West-influenced civilization... Paris late last year, San Bernardino at Christmas, Brussels last week, and Lahore, Pakistan on Easter Sunday are all separate fronts in the ongoing war.
Over the centuries, battles pitting Islam against the Infidel--virtually every instance instigated by muslims--go all the way back to Mohammed's seventh century rampage across the Arabian peninsula, the sale of Africans into slavery, pirating merchant ships off Africa's Barbary Coast, and the modern war against Christians, Jews, Israel and, frankly, any non-adherent to a favored sect of Islam. That Jewish school children in Turkey are being targeted by ISIS indicates the depths of depravity to which a theocratic "State" can descend.
