Jihad in the West - The Holy War that Isn't P9

Jihad in the West  by Paul Fregosi
Introduction: The Holy War That Isn't
Paragraph 9

The jihad appears more and more as an interminable fact of life, almost a freak of nature. Like the Earth going around the Sun, the jihad seems to have power, if not perpetual motion, at least of perpetual continuity. In this domain of the stars and planets, a friend of mine once compared it to Haley's  Comet. "It steaks across the sky, then vanishes again." The comparison is not quite true. Haley's Comet appears very rarely and does no damage. Jihad appears quite frequently and does a lot of damage. So does its modern terrorist version. So does its modern terrorist version.
