    While this is a reprehensible event, those like the killer forget that while you can kill a man, you cannot kill an idea/concept.

    There’s a couple of stories on Yahoo News which may be of interest:
    Wired interviews FBI’s most wanted terrorist over Twitter

    Hammami says he’s never personally attacked Americans and “terror” was never his ultimate goal. But “jihad was my obligation and the [New World Order] my enemy.”

    The “New World Order” is sometimes referenced by the sovereign citizen fruit cakes, ponzi apologists, and general conspiracy nutcases.
