Succinct and.. simply Astounding! ..while so Very-long overdue.
Thanks, Box for such an al punte example of your (apparently regular) visiting of fertile ground/looking in The Right Places and finding such utter gems. (I shall henceforth try to stifle snarking (much..) about some of your more er, tendentious.. too-short unearthings of Iron Pyrites [fools' gold.])
But this *one is a Platinum Vacheron et Constantine minute-repeater (for those into time-keeping metaphor.)
* Irony? or misunderestimation by most, of just Who Be? this Al-Sisi. If this brief speech isn't wisdom, then I've got that word wrong.
Post-Paris: I'd thought about what might Be? The Planet's response to this latest assassination atrocity, along with some millions of others pondering the exact same thing. Given that THIS attack was plainly: upon the very basis of anything remotely-called Our Civilization-itself, it Can serve as the impetus for something-like: creation of a World Religious Court.
[poor Geneva! always stuck with the messiest Questions as bedevil our oft-bat-shit-iggerant species. YPB.]
That is, WHEN an entire Religion, representing millions/billions: is seen to foster? (via misinterpretation of much and also by very specific koans they Do Not Yet Deny openly in their daily 'prayers' and preaching) THEN: the rest of the many-more billions must act in mere self-Defense against such a War-against the very root of 'civilization' Itself.
It would very well evoke the enigma: Limiting of certain Speech, in the exact aim of preserving Free Speech! in most other matters. Yes, an *exception* to (our) First Amendment! among very many worldwide equivalents. Dunno if there are enough Adults amidst the political-dross to be found everywhere, even to contemplate such a contrivance (that Court.) But if ALL-fail to FIND a way through the enigma, by this or some other Way-with-Teeth?
What will a Planet-wide War via '15 techno-mean-ness look like?
