B. Preston at JunkYardBlog ties together the murder of Theo Van Gogh, the death of the Armanious family, and Islamist death threats against a New Mexico journalist. Here’s an excerpt:

Jeremy Reynalds has been targeted for death by Islamists for keeping on doing what I used to do….

Theo Van Gogh was murdered by Islamists for making a film. I’m a filmmaker….

[T]he Armanious family was slaughtered, probably by Islamists, for being outspoken Christians. I’m an outspoken Christian.

All of these things happened, not in Baghdad or Fallujah or in some tribal territory in Pakistan, but in the West. Van Gogh was killed in Amsterdam, a note explaining his murder pinned to his dead chest with a Bowie knife. The Armanious family was murdered just up the road in New Jersey, from the parents to the children. And Reynalds, an online journalist who criticizes Islamists, finds himself targeted now.

This is what the war is all about. Even if you’re not an online journalist, even if you’re not a filmmaker or a Christian, you too will eventually run afoul of these caliphascists if you don’t help resist and defeat them now.
