When considering how we deal with the problem of Islamist supremacism, it’s tempting to throw up our hands and despair.
But the fact is, we’ve been here before and have a playbook for dealing with this stuff.
There was in England’s history a recalcitrant religious minority that claimed the authority of a higher power to re-order English society by violence, even abrogating for itself the right to murder the monarch: it was called Catholicism.
It’s imperial claims were suppressed and eventually defeated by the application of specific laws designed not to persecute people for being Catholic, but to thwart the political objective of making England a Catholic country.
