Nearly four hours after the bomb blast, Neeraj Chawla still walks around with a large blotch of blood on his blue shirt. Chawla was one of the shop-owners in Paharganj-a congested zone of cheap backpacker hotels and clothing and fabric stores, just off New Delhi's main railway station. A bomb went off this evening in a busy intersection in Paharganj, killing at 16 people and injuring 60. (An explosion in the Sarojini district may have killed 39; another bomb went off in a bus in south Delhi; while police defused another in Chandi Chowk.) Chawla's handicrafts...

All the time, al-Tamimi fine-tunes the plan, scoping out the target over and over, to prepare for any eventualities. He will check and recheck his information and adjust the plan to any changes--in convoy routes and timing, for instance. He may even do a dry run of the operation...
History is replete with alienated minorities that successfully assimilated and did not bomb innocent people. The angry Muslims in Europe seem to have forgotten the West's benevolence during humanitarian missions to the Muslim populations in Somalia, Bosnia and Indonesia. The West can no longer pursue appeasement. It must challenge the jihadist philosophy by using its own enduring and sacred values socially, politically and, if threatened, militarily...
