“I thought the only wanker over there was Sarah Palin” I both love and despise you for that statement.

I do disagree that jihadists are more dangerous than Neo-Nazis but that’s because I think they’re both as Severe as each other. Much like in the Horseshoe effect, they’re very much alike – especially in how dangerous they are.

I admit there’s a personal bias in that my country was represented by a Neo-Nazi and he remains an immediate threat to the nation, but if they are the Menace below – jihadists are the enemy abroad.
