Latter-Day Thuggee

It turns out the man who attacked New York City police with a hatchet had what Agence France Presse calls "Islamic extremist leanings." Two Canadian soldiers were killed this week in separate incidents by men with the same ideological bent.

Add in the woman in OK who was beheaded by a free-lance Islamic warrior and the group of soldiers shot by the jihadi murderer who was also a U.S. Army psychiatrist. You see the start of a trend.

As incidents like these of random Islam-inspired violence increase in number, distribution and deadliness, expect there to eventually be a call to reestablish internment camps like those once used to isolate Japanese and Japanese-Americans after Pearl Harbor was bombed.

This time, of course, a different group would be targeted. When it eventually happens, remember you saw it here first.

As an aside, such behavior is far from new. Wikipedia alleges that while only Hindus worshiped Kali Ma, the Thugs originated with seven Muslim tribes and many of the Thugs captured and killed by the Brits were Muslim.
