Random note #185,635 — Nice and the spin

It would be amusing if it weren’t so diabolically tragic, listening and watching the apologists yet again tie themselves in knots to explain away the Islam inspired mass murder in Nice.
Blaming it on French colonialism of another time in North Africa and the Middle East simply doesn’t scan and can’t avoid the fact that the perpetrator in this instance, although Tunisian born in the mid 80’s and who would therefore have no direct experience of those colonial times, chose to live and derive first world benefits and opportunities from the colonial oppressor, France.
Despite the spin, the world, through bitter and recent experience knows the truth and understands that ever since 9/11, an aggressive strain of Islam, (is there any other kind) intent on a global caliphate by either immigration and a subsequent demographic jihad or more traditional jihad and means, has been at war with the West.
