One Million Bonds

Ian Fleming, an author of some repute, created a character with a license to kill. In Lahore, Pakistan, a terror group acting under its religion-or its distortion of its own religion, murdered a number of innocent coreligionists. This has become common in the practice of Jihad from Pakistan to New York City. Under color of faith or the guise of martyrdom, these nihilists and atavists are destroying any possibility of peace. If even one in a million Muslims shares this perverse vision of what Allah wants, this tiny minority still has the determination and power through self-sacrifice and mass murder to force the West into extreme measures which will inevitably harm innocent Muslims and further stoke the fire of a new type of world war by radicalizing even more Muslims who will feel targeted and join the Jihadi cause. Even if only one percent of Muslims share the evil tenets of al Qaeda or the warped belief in a twelfth Mahdi that is more than a million people who think their faith gives them a license to kill.
