Why isn't the west really doing anything about this, doesn't it seem plausible ?

What options are available ?

Don't anyone say more "aid to Africa"............. yes, we know, there's a mess in Africa the aid must flow because they can't clean it up themselves. As per usual.

We don't even have screenings for people traveling to the UK, as far as I'm aware. Is it really so far fetched an idea ?

The Jihadi's are not that crazy to spread a disease like Ebola, which would kill the faithful along with the infidel. Not to say they are still not quite crazy in considering things like posioning the water supply or helping the spread of wildfires or even starting them.

You think they are not as crazy as the christians who, when confronted with a mixed population of Muslims and Christains during the crusade, decided to make the christian god earn his pay by "Kill them all and let the Lord sort them out"?

And as for

(bold mine)

We still have Christians in the US that think diseases won't harm them if they're faithful to God. I wouldn't put any sort of absurdity past religious fanatics.

We really do need more christians to be like that.

I disagree. If they could kill ten thousand Americans, of whom fourteen happened to be Muslim, they'd be thrilled.

Look at the sectarian violence in Iraq, where Sunni and Shia delight in bombing each others' mosques, preferably when filled with worshipers.

Well, the Jihadi's only view those who adhere to the their brand Islam to be the faithful. Those who follow other brands of Islams are considered infidels like anyother.

Ummm, no. It was between the Christian faithful and the Albigensian heretics at the sack of Beziers.

That's exactly my point. I don't think they'd cry very long for the American Muslims they killed. Even those of the same sect would probably be viewed as sinfully libertine.

Geographic proximity doesn't equate to cultural identity.
