While the Americans reel from the Fort Hood attack, a school teacher in the Philippines has been beheaded by Jihadists, though if you read the BBC's coverage, you'd be hard pressed to know this unless you read between the lines in an oblique reference to "feared that the kidnappings would discourage others from teaching underprivileged youths in Muslim areas".Why so? As far as the report is concerned, the beheaders could have been Methodist "militants".
When I was a professional actor, I was once in a production of Ten Little Indians and my character was killed off early on and so I had plenty of time to chat with the other victims in the dressing room until curtain. During this, we came up with an alternative version where the victims, not hearing the crucial gramophone record, were unaware of the murderer in their midst and the whole thing descended into a Roadrunner cartoon where the villain was forever trying to unsuccessfully kill people who were utterly oblivious to his intentions. What our murderer went through must be the basic mindset of the Jihadists of today. You can bomb trains and buses, stab filmakers, beheaded reporters and teachers, slaughter schoolchildren, murder nightclubbers, ram planes into skyscrapers, and shoot up military bases while screaming "Allah akbar" and the MSM stand mystified as to your motives and rabbits on abut the Religion of Peace without a second thought.
What does a Jihadist have to do to get any respect?

I never would have thought of "ignoring them into submission" as a reasonable strategy, but here we seem to be.
I am wondering if this is, in fact, a new tactic to counter terrorism.
It is obvious to us all the killings at Fort Hood are about terrorism, so obvious in fact that it seems ludicrous that the media (not just the BBC) cannot see this for what it is.
Terrorism is about scaring people into behaving differently in the belief that whatever has happened could happen to you when you least expect it, perpetrated by someone you thought was a friend perhaps. By ignoring the muslim / jihadist side of these events and calling it an act of a lone madman it could be that the idea is to remove that tool from the terrorists arsenal.
We no longer have a network of highly trained terrorist sleeper cells hidden in our midst so we can sleep safely at night and go about our normal everyday business during the day. Of course there will always be those inevitable lone madmen out there willing to kill lots of people, but we do not need to be scared of that because they are not terrorists.
