The fact is that nobody declared war on three French muslims.
The fact is, that it was a barbaric act that had zero to do with any collateral damage, acceptable loss or a few SAS shooting murderers and rapists who are persecuting their own whilst hiding under the banner of Islam.(How easy it is to forget how Nazism grew whilst we sat appeasing in our own warm homes)
You could maybe call it religious fervour, call it brainwashing or indoctrination, call it an act of the weak or simple minded looking to go down in history like a modern day John Wilkes Booth or Lee Harvey Oswald....but do not claim it is a way of waging war. If you do.... then logically it must follow that Anders Brevik is a war criminal and not a murderous lunatic.
And, as someone much more intelligent than me points out below...the circulation of a magazine that less than 60000 people had heard of (myself included) has gone through the roof with over 1 million copies being printed this week.

Every time one of these atrocities occurs, the whole of Islam is looked at with even more suspicion and hatred....and support for any muslims who are being persecuted is at an all time low.
Terrorism has always been and will always be counter productive.
