Cancer Ward: Islamic terrorism is fundamentally a condition of malignant information

Like cancer cells transmitted through the body by the blood stream, Al Qaedaism is a cancer transmitted through the political body via the news media.

For a “must read” explanation of this danger, click HERE to read Wretchard at the Belmont Club for a really worrisome analysis.

Excerpt:
Donald Sensing quoted some advice in his Winds of Change post, "standard counterterrorism responses, such as improving intelligence sharing and law enforcement cooperation, are indispensable but insufficient. Likewise, military force is sometimes required, but it cannot be the primary response." Why? Because like viral infections and cancer, Islamic terrorism is fundamentally a condition of malignant information. One of the most far-reaching benefits to Al Qaedaism of its alliance with the Left is how easily it allowed it to move astride the media, the academe and the liberal religious establishment. The information disease infiltrating the information stream of its victim. Not only does this feed Islamic militancy, in a process analogous to angiogenesis, it also puts its core code, which contains the instructions to reproduce and destroy, beyond the reach of counter-information under the banner of political correctness. Truly the perfect storm.


Is the Western media the engine of our destruction?
