#3 It is not the attacks but the response to them that will matter.

#4 Unless there's a fundamental change to the strategy adopted after 9/11/2001 liberal democracies won't survive.

That's because the post 9/11 strategy was a strategy against 'terror', not against islamofascism nor for the preservation of liberal democracy in the West.

There was a limited war-like military engagement with militant groups that actively attacked, or planned to attack Western nations.

This was combined with a policy of making huge concessions to mainstream Islam, i.e. the Muslim population in the West and the countries of the OIC.

The hope was that mainstream Islam would realize that the West would concede what was demanded without there being need to resort to 'terrorism.'

Hence any mainstream Islamic support for 'terrorism' would cease and 'terrorism' would end and the 'War on Terror' would be won.

This looks like an elegant, sophisticated and clever solution that avoids unnecessary bloodshed and will restore security.

There's just one snag to it.

Mainstream Islam demands Earth & Water from the West.
Mainstream Islam demand that the West submit to its will.
The price for winning the 'War on Terror' as defined by the Western elites is the end of liberal democracy in West.
The price is surrender of the West.
