[Editorial] The effects of terrorism are being felt by nearly every country now, east and west. From the continuing plague of ISIS in the Middle East, to domestic attacks such as those in Moore, Oklahoma, to the assault on the Canadian parliament building – the message being sent is very clear: No one is immune.

These attacks are not confined to any one kind of victim, not restricted inside any set of borders.

It is important to understand that these attacks are not about killing thousands of people at once, but rather to create an atmosphere of panic and fear; that is, to inspire terror.

This terror is palpable enough that even peaceful, law-abiding Muslims have reason to be afraid, if not of attacks by their own brethren who feel they are not ?Muslim enough,? then from Western governments who now must regard them with a suspicious eye.

If left unchecked, this small, pernicious cabal of radicals could conceivably cause the rebirth of World War II-style internment camps, where hundreds of thousands of innocent Muslims would suffer the same degradation as did their Japanese counterparts in the 1940s.
