    You're vigilantes.

    No, no, no. A vigilante is just a man lost in the scramble for his own gratification. He can be destroyed, or locked up. But if you make yourself more than just a man, if you devote yourself to an ideal, and if they can't stop you, then you become something else entirely.

    Would these guys be happy if the world gave em a decent piece of land where they are free to practice whatever they want? This place can be free of all women, pork and western entertainment. Only the guys that want to live this radical Islamic lifestyle can be allowed in. That way they can sit around all day smoking hookah, eating hummus and betting on which camel is the prettiest while masturbating to their hearts desire at night.

    No they would not be. They want the women there too and they will want to convert the world.

    I've thought about that a lot. I think they would be 100% happy except for one thing: we've ingrained into the minds of people (a) nationalism and (b) a mythical connection to certain geographic patches of land so much that they would insist it be in a specific place.

    As long as it's in that place, and they could get rid of everyone they disagree with, they'd be happy.

    By specific place you mean all of the Middle East and North Africa right? And as long as they had all the women as well and the power brokers still had the ability to sell oil to the world so they could have monetary power as well.

    Basically what they want is to trade the governments in place for themselves so they can impose their own form of horrible government (to be clear, not defending what's there) and brutality with all the perks.

    Yeah, four guys with knives had a real shot with armed guards all around her.

    Sorry, I am not afraid of such idiots.

    Why would you kill the Queen? If you're going to target important people in the world, I mean okay symbolically she's important but she's also 88 years old and completely powerless for policy making.

    What happens when a Nobel Peace Prize laureate and his closest partners declare a never-ending decades-long war that repeats failed policy, commits to flagrant violations of civil liberties, constitutional egress, and creeping escalation in a fear-mongering echo chamber?

    not too much apparently.
