Today, Western-located affiliates of the Islamic State (aka ISIS – aka ISIL) have posted onto the internet photographs (taken by themselves) of tourist spots in various European cities. In the picture above, the card held in front of the camera warns that “We (ISIS) are in your streets” and was taken in the Italian Capital, Rome.
This (in my opinion) should be enough to trigger a state of emergency, one that allows for drastic police actions and the suspension of normal order. Given the nature of the enemy and its ambition, the presence of ISIS-affiliated fighters in Europe demands serious and immediate precautionary measures from our security services.
None will be forthcoming of course, and the reason? We can never take a threat seriously anymore. Our defensive reflexes are worn out, drained of their former vitality.
I write this fully aware that it is futile. I do it simply because I don’t want to feel any guilt when the treasures of Rome become like the treasures of Nineveh.

I hear you brother. Perhaps we are doomed, having been insensibly emasculated.

I fear so. The last hope is that a vanguard of resistance can be formed below the political level. Our governments don’t seem to care at all.

The Italians, for one, aren’t going to take this lying down even if this is more calculated saber rattling from the ISIS-ISIL to scare us. It should still be taken seriously. If the Coliseum or the Spanish Steps or any of Rome’s irreplaceable wonders are attacked you will see a grassroots blowback unlike anything so far. After all, the people of the boot have been fighting off muslim invaders for centuries. They also have long memories. Ever heard of the expression “Italian alzheimer’s?” You forget everything except a grudge.
