Seeing the worldwide sweep of the Islamist enterprise makes it evident that the attacks on the United States, despite their unprecedented horror, were but a minuscule piece of the enormous mosaic of Salafist terror. The terror masters have established their first beachheads in the West â more so in Western Europe than the United States â but their murderous ideology had long since become a way of life in many other parts of the world.
Looking at the these maps helps to broaden the view of anyone accustomed only to mainstream media reports of terror attacks. The violence in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Israel is very clear â Iraq has the highest concentration of terror since late 2003 â but much of the rest of the world endures a quotidian brutality that is scarcely mentioned in the Western press.
Particularly notable are Algeria â in which the violence is Muslim-on-Muslim â the Caucasus, southern Thailand, the Philippines, and India, particularly the state of Jammu and Kashmir. Islamists were terrorizing these places before September 11th, and their killing of apostates and infidels will continue. Even if the Coalition withdraws completely from Iraq and Afghanistan, and the Jews are driven into the sea, the slaughter will not cease.
Hereâs how he did it: he used the more than 1,300 place names from TROP and matched them to various online maps and gazetteers, particularly Falling Rain. The locations in Iraq, Pakistan, and India were particularly difficult to match, due to wildly varying spellings. The results were collected in a database, and then he wrote hundreds of lines of program code to create the images, learning the rudiments of Macromedia Flash MX to build the animation. Meanwhile, having had the time to repent in leisure, I learned the hard wisdom of being careful about what you ask for.
Those endless hours hunched over the keyboard staring at the names of villages in Hindi and Urdu and Arabic and Tagalog has left the Baronâs eyesight a little worse for the wear. Never mind; his labors produced a wonder. You cannot watch the display representing the ongoing murderous intent of so many groups, all of them under the umbrella of a brutally insane worldview, without realizing with a sinking heart what we are up against. Every time a little flash goes off, lives wink out.
And so we come now to what I call The Bloody Borders Project. Or, on my bad days, âthat bloody Bloody Borders Project.â Perhaps, as you view it, you too will be changed by what you see. You are seeing it because of all those falling bodies in New York City on that September day in 2001. How ignorant we were not to know that bodies had been falling, falling for years, all along those bloody borders.
