    Cue the overwrought "Clash of Civilizations" rhetoric. These guys are fitting foils for self-aggrandizing jihadists.pic.twitter.com/3i3ZjHivzW

        @mtracey Right, "fitting foils" because Roger Cohen has killed so many people. Nobody is complaining about jihadi "self aggrandizement."

        @NYCCouncilWatch They're fitting foils because they use similar "Clash of Civilizations"-type rhetoric.

        @JeanValette No, it wasn't my first thought. My first thought was outrage at the attacks. This thought came later.

        @JeanValette Their "flourishes" are being made from influential media perches and are therefore open to criticism.

        @mtracey @MazMHussain Foils are sometimes right. These posts don't talk about "clash of civ". The killers were not attacking individuals.
