‘The Legitimacy to Crush Pan-Islamic Jihadism’

A Financial Times leader (pages 1 and 2) dubiously ties Mumbai to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict:

Tackling disputes such as Kashmir, or that between Israel and the Palestinians, would help separate tractable grievances from extremist manipulation and provide the legitimacy to crush pan-Islamic jihadism.

Carnage in New York, Washington, London, Istanbul, Bali, Beslan, Buenos Aires, Jerba, Jarkarta, Jerusalem, Madrid, Mombassa, Moscow, and now Mumbai, etc. is all the justification we need “to crush pan-Islamic jihadism.”
