I wanted to write something not-too-cynical on the Toulouse shootings, and I totally failed. But not writing anything at all feels pretty bad too.
When I was much younger I wondered why so many Jewish people grow so cynical when they grow older. Nowadays I use the word "experienced".
Last September I wondered if there still is a temple somewhere where you don't have to go through a metal detector, and whether it would be nice to visit one. I guess I got my answer.
Also reminded me of a Mark Steyn's post where he says that almost every time any terrorism-like trouble is going on, somebody named Mohammed is involved. Although, to be fair, I do recall some trouble last summer where the only person invovled was named Anders.

ABB is the word become flesh of:

Sillävälin suosittelen kirjaa "Suomi - Terrorismi - Supo", jossa tutkitaan miksi suomi on (pääosin) välttynyt terrorismilta.
"Also reminded me of a Mark Steyn's post where he says that almost every time any terrorism-like trouble is going on, somebody named Mohammed is involved."
In a way, this might not actually be complete bullshit. For example, I'd think a lot of Mohammeds were terrorized by the Russian military in Chechnya. Countless Mohammeds have fallen victims to terror campaigns of oppressive regimes in the Middle East, and a large portion of world's collateral damage are called Mohammed.
Any implication that terrorism is exclusively perpetrated by Mohammeds is, of course, complete bullshit. But you already knew that.
