The reported liquidation of one of al Qaeda’s top terrorists, Abu Yahya al-Libi, is a cause for celebration by all those who love freedom – and were, therefore, his sworn enemies. Congratulations to U.S. intelligence for finding him, to the operators of the lethal unmanned vehicle that took him out and to President Obama for ordering the hit.
That said, don’t confuse this with an end of the threat from al Qaeda, let alone the threat we face from others who share the doctrine al-Libi and his ilk call “shariah.” While we are successfully eliminating key operatives in Pakistan and Yemen, Islamic supremacist organizations bent on imposing shariah worldwide – like the Muslim Brotherhood and its subsidiaries and offshoots, including al Qaeda – are taking over whole countries. And that’s not progress for our side.
