I've Been Thinking:

There has been an uptick in terror against Israelis. There have been stabbings and car attacks.

There are several important reasons for this surge in terror attacks.
The most significant reason is one of inspiration.

This is the month of Ramadan. It is a time for sermons and dynamic speeches in mosques and on TV and radio. During their sermons Imams call on Muslims to act.

The action that inspiration stimulates is terror.

The next most significant reason is the ISIS / al Qaeda influence.
Muslims are inspired to imitate the actions of extremist groups.
ISIS and al Qaeda movements operating all around the world, but especially from Syrian and Iraq, set the tone for would be followers and supporters.

Your average Muslim is not capable of perpetrating a massive terror attack, but is perfectly capable of carrying out a stabbing or initiating a car attack.

There is no easy way to counter these attacks or to stem the rise of violence and acts of terror.
