Is It Really A War If One Side Pretends It Isn't?

After the torture murders of non-Muslims at the mall in Nairobi a few months, now we have this, from the June 16, 2014 Daily Mail:
Somali militants who murdered 48 people in a Kenyan village as they watched the World Cup went door to door asking residents if they were Muslim or spoke Somali - and shot them dead if either answer was 'no', witnesses revealed today.
The attack on the coastal village of Mpeketoni, about 30-miles southwest of the tourist centre of Lamu, came at the end of a weekend of bloodshed that has exposed the world to the shocking depravity of terrorists, apparently emboldened by each other's acts.
Witnesses told how about 30 gunmen - believed to be members of Somali terror group al-Shabaab - arrived in the town in minibuses at 8pm yesterday before bursting into residents homes, shooting dead any man they thought was not Muslim.
'They came to our house at around 8pm and asked us in Swahili whether we were Muslims,' said Anne Gathigi. 'My husband told them we were Christians and they shot him in the head and chest.'

From the June 13, 2014 Washington Post:
The first thing you hear is the music. It lilts and sways. Then you see the Islamist militants. They’re knocking at a policeman’s door. It’s the middle of the night, but the cop soon answers. He’s blindfolded and cuffed. They take him to the bedroom. And then, reports say, they decapitate him with a knife. 
Another video captures militants with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) herding hundreds of boys and Iraqi soldiers down a highway to an unknown fate.   “Repent,” ISIS told inhabitants of its newly conquered territory on Thursday. “But anyone who insists upon apostasy faces death.”
Death was everywhere in the sacked the city of Mosul, a strategically vital oil hub and Iraq’s largest northern city. One reporter said an Iraqi woman in Mosul claimed to have seen a “row of decapitated soldiers and policemen” on the street. Other reports spoke of “mass beheadings,” though The Washington Post was not able to confirm the tales.
But the United Nations Human Rights chief, Navi Pillay, said the summary executions “may run into the hundreds” and that she was “extremely alarmed.”
This June 13, 2014 Associated Press report in the Minneapolis Star-Tribune describes many of these decapitation videos that the Islamists are uploading as part of their campaign of both terror and recruitment. That there are any significant number of Muslims who would find the chance to slowly cut a conscious person's head off with a knife so attractive that these are recruiting videos says a lot about the state of Islam in that part of the world.

There is a war between the most insane of Islamists and non-Muslims (and any Muslims not insane enough for the Islamists).  So far, this war is being fought mostly in the Third World, but it is a pretty strong certainty that it is going to come to our shores again.  And I am sure that the left will continue to blame Bush, rather than recognize that this war has been going on for 1500 years, waxing and waning as non-Muslim societies have shown the strength of character to fight it.

  1. decapitation vi--deos as recruitment tools say a lot about all of Islam. it is a fatal error to see Islam as a religion--it is an insane death cult which feeds on evil and engenders evil. I think the blindness of American and European elites will persist until there are many more 9-11s. Islam is in a centuries old war against the rest of the world, which will continue until Islam wins or it is eradicated.
