We all know the narrative. The "left" is soft on Islamic extremists and Islamic terrorism, and this is because they are too afraid of being called "racist". While they is likely some truth to it, it another thought occurred to me - could this be, at least in part, due to the fact that those tactics by the extremists actually worked? Could it be because these people are actually afraid of those extremists and it's their way of appeasing them, in the hope that they'll be spared? If the last two years have thought us anything, it's that complying with tyranny is all the rage among these people.

Of course terrorism works. Most often not directly, but the threat of it changes people's behavior. Eventually, they will choose to change their behavior bit by bit until the terrorism stops, never admitting it, until they are now doing what the terrorists wanted in the first place. Usually this is as simple as causing people to move out of the dangerous areas where the terrorism is taking place, so that after a couple of decades, that area is now only populated by the people committing the terrorism.
The only way to prevent this is to ruthlessly go after and exterminate the terrorists and their support systems. Everyone in government and military knows this.
The scary part is why they have all now chosen to ignore actual muslim terrorists and start calling all of us terrorists, but i think you can put two and two together on your own.
