The Hero

Can there be any doubt who will win the Jihadi/civilization confrontation?:

A HERO cabbie who took on the Glasgow Airport terror suspects told yesterday how he booted one of them in the privates.

Alex McIlveen, 45, kicked the man, whose body was in flames, so hard that he tore a tendon in his foot.

But he said last night: "He didn't even flinch. I couldn't believe he didn't go down.

"A doctor told me later I'd damaged a tendon in my foot."

So it's clear civilization won this round. "We love death as you love life" is obviously propaganda, what they mean is "we love to talk our idiot brothers into doing stupid things, like you love life." But what better answer can the west give than, "we love to pepper spray, and nad-kick the flaming idiots you've talked into loving death, send more like this."

Of course this whole thing could have been different. Civilized people could have died. But this time, as the Jihadi did a Richard Prior in front of the terminal, burning up, and blind from pepper spray, the Almighty sent him a cabbie. All I can say is, nice going God, that's poetry.
