The Gates of Vienna
"The first shoe hit the floor back in 2008, and it has taken seven years — far longer than the Muslims who made the threats had intended — for the other shoe to fall.
"The jihad atrocities committed in Paris last night strongly resembled those carried out in Mumbai almost exactly seven years ago. But this year’s earlier attacks in Paris (the Charlie Hebdo massacres) and Copenhagen were the same type of action on a smaller scale. And in all three the attacks targeting the native ethnic group were immediately followed by a concerted effort to hit Jewish targets and kill Jews.
"Bearing that in mind, Vlad and I waited last night for grim news to emerge from one of the Jewish neighborhoods in Paris. We expected it to happen before anyone claimed responsibility for the attacks — that would be the normal pattern. But the Islamic State announced that it was responsible for all the terror and bloodshed in the wee hours, without any Jewish targets being hit.
"Or so it seemed." . . .
