Bob, the West(mostly) represents what we have come to consider 'civilisation', that is, freedom of speech, freedom of religious choice, education for all regardless of gender, protection by the laws of the democratically-elected government from crime - all those things we are privileged enough to be able to take for granted. So yes, I think it's entirely appropriate to consider Jihadist terrorist actions as at least an attack on civilisation, and a possible precursor to a war on it. |
