ISIS might do well to remember that not only are people wearing suits for reasons other than looking good—it’s a great way to conceal & carry—but also how Europe dealt with the Barbary Pirates and the Ottoman Empire. There is a certain degree of barbarism which will incite a response that just might not be proportional. The pirate who attacks with a Kalishnikov might find a response from Ma Deuce, or, worse yet, the “music” of Britney Spears. (no kidding—freighters off Somalia have successfully used that to ward off pirate attacks)

Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.
