“Counter-Insurgency, Chad-Style,”

Here's the way to respond to islamic aggression:

FROM JIHADWATCH.ORG:

Chad: after listening to "an inflammatory sermon" against Christians and atheists, jihadis become "intoxicated by indescribable extremism...almost mad," and go on wild rampage
As the following anecdote demonstrates, when infidels do not overly concern themselves with "winning the hearts and minds" of jihadis, success quickly follows.

“Counter-Insurgency, Chad-Style,”
by David Axe for Danger Room,
July 21:
“An alleged [up]rising led by an Islamic preacher in the oil-rich southern region of Chad was repressed with great loss of life by government forces in the first days of July," Andrew McGregor reported in Terrorism Focus last week. "The incident in the town of Kouno came in response to calls for an international jihad from Ahmat Ismail Bichara, a fiery 28-year-old religious leader, and the destruction of most of the town by his followers."
Funny -- I was in southern Chad at the time, and I didn't hear a peep about this until after the fact. N'Djamena's violent quashing of an embryonic terror and insurgent group, in a total media blackout, demonstrates an ugly brute-force alternative to the West's counter-insurgency strategy, which aims to understand the "human terrain," win hearts and minds, and enlist the support of local tribes before rolling in with tanks and artillery.
Right. Makes you think which of these two methods is more effective when dealing with an implacable foe—swift decisive action or trying to "win hearts and minds.”
The crisis began on June 3 when Bichara issued a manifesto declaring jihad against "Christians and atheists."

What, no Jews?

"After Bichara's followers went on a rampage in Kouno, destroying four churches, 158 homes, a medical clinic and a police station, government forces decided to respond in force," McGregor writes:
The government assault apparently began as Bichara's followers were listening to what was described as an inflammatory sermon. ... Chad's security minister described Bichara's followers as "intoxicated by indescribable extremism ... almost mad" as they "threw themselves" against the fire of security forces in the belief they were immune to bullets.
This of course is a natural enough phenomenon in many Muslim nations: after listening to the local imam's fiery harangues, filled as they generally are with anti-infidel rhetoric, Muslims often go on rampages. Or did you think it was just coincidence that many of the most devastating Muslim riots against non-Muslims occur on Friday -- mosque-sermon day?
As many as 75 people died, most of them extremists. Four Chadian soldiers died. Bichara was captured.

Wargaming Our Terms of Surrender

Here is an article by Christine of Center for Vigilant Freedom via Baron Bodissey of Gates of Vienna. Christine's analysis is brilliant to say the least. She puts the fight against the Islamification of the west into perspective and presents an overall view of what needs to be done. Well worth reading and passing on.

Wargaming Our Terms of Surrender
by Baron Bodissey
Christine is one of the major driving forces behind the Center for Vigilant Freedom.
I received this email from her today, summarizing the current state of the Counterjihad from the point of view of someone who is organizing the coalitions.

I have often said that coordination and communication among the various groups that oppose the Great Jihad are our most important tasks. It’s time to put aside the factional infighting, the anathematizing of opponents, and the insistence on doctrinal purity. After our victory there will be plenty of time to decide whose method was the best, and who was the most ideologically correct.

Christine’s analysis is billiant:

Virtually everything we do is in coalitions, and that emergence of effective coalitions — often ad hoc, for single rallies, or over months over a piece of legislation, or locally as activists find each other from groups with common interests — is an important trend from the last year. A lot of our work is in helping to incubate those coalitions, both by supporting other groups, and also by helping to incubate single-issue sites that can become battlegrounds in this war of ideas.

If you think of this in terms of war gaming, we need more pieces on the board. Our Islamist adversaries have a lot of pieces on the chess board, pieces they have been building with petrodollars for over a generation — new Islamic organizations like NAIT and ISNA (Wahhabi forces), pseudo-Western organizations to enforce the separation of Muslims from mainstream integration, such as CAIR, MAS, and MSA (Muslim Brotherhood forces), groups to effect infiltration and intimidation into existing Western NGOs and government agencies of Muslim Brotherhood supporters (FBI, U.S. Peace Institute, CIA, White House, Transportation Security Agency, Department. of Justice) .
