    Bo,
    Which moslems, living where, wearing which masks ?
    War on whose behalf ?
    No please don't answer, they're rhetorical questions.

    Thanks for branding me obscurantist.

    I'd actually love to hear your take on the Q-Soc vs Q-Bio angle of the
    terrorist individual(s) and their individual pre-meditated act(s) of
    terrorism. At that level I'd buy the suggestion that the story is
    predominantly Platt's victory of society over biology, and vice versa
    where the individuals successfully execute and get away with it,
    suicide or no.

    But please don't tell me that's the "exorcism of terrorism",
    notwithstanding the purely technical social safeguards about evidence
    and innocence until guilty.
    I'm genuinely shocked.

    (Interestingly in the UK I notice one of the main talking points is
    still the innocent but unfortunate Brazillian who was shot by the
    police - ie it's not just a handful of liberal MoQ'ers.)
