Learn to live with terrorism – the Simon Jenkins way!
1/ Whatever you do, don’t “over-react”: that’s the cause of terrorism in the first place.
2/ Don’t gather together in crowds.
3/ Don’t hold marathons.
4/ Do not build shopping malls, hotels or churches.
5/ Don’t overdo surveillance.
6/ Keep a “sense of proportion”: defending yourself only invites retaliation.
You think this is a joke? It’s not.
Update Rosie:-
7/ Keep calm and carry on.
8/ Run about waving your arms and screaming.

Besides Jenkins’ piece of fatuity there have been two other idiotic CIF pieces re the Nairobi massacres/
1. – it’s all about corruption
“al-Shabaab is really attacking the very idea of capitalism”
http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/sep/23/kenya-behind-terror-rampant-corruption
2. it’s about tabloid constructions of female hate figures
http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/sep/25/white-widow-samantha-lewthwaite
Gem of a paragraph:-
“Her transgressions are plentiful: she converted to Islam, took the veil and a Muslim name, married a black and notoriously radical convert, and is the mother of mixed-race children.”
No – the “transgressions” that those brutes of tabloid readers are objecting to are her being suspected of murdering a bunch of people in Nairobi. Oh , and the “notoriously radical convert” – why not murdering Jihadist”? It’s not really bigotry to suspect that a woman who marries a suicide bomber is dodgy.
But – astonishing – here’s an article that someone hasn’t just pulled out of their backside but which actually gives some background and even stresses that Islamism may have played a part in these events!
The commenters in the thread are reeling in shock at an informed and reasoned piece.

Rosie this trumps all idiocy (and exceeds the parody on Shiraz):
