Nothing is sacred to the jihadists. Dutch police have arrested a man of Moroccan descent who was part of a group that was planning to attack Amsterdam’s world-famous red-light district:

Muslim extremists, the paper said, were allegedly furious at the lack of morals in the prostitution zone.

It depends on where your moral compass is, and I guess Christian fundamentalists would equally cheer such an attack. The red light area is probably one of the city’s safest neighborhoods as it is essentially run by the Amsterdam underworld who have a vested interest in protecting the unique franchise they enjoy. Jihadists however are different from competing gangs, drug addicts or unruly drunks and it is a good thing Dutch security services stepped in and arrested suspect Bilal L.:

L. was allegedly in contact with Syrian Redouan al-Issa, the fugitive leader of the terror network Hofstadgroep (Main City Group). The Syrian was an illegal immigrant in the Netherlands and gave Koran lessons in the home of Mohammed B., the suspected murderer of filmmaker Theo van Gogh. B. is also a member of the Main City Group.

The emails claimed the Syrian was involved in the plans to attack the Red Light District, while another target was the Dutch Parliament in The Hague. L. is alleged to have bought equipment needed to carry out the attack.

In earlier reports the Main City Group was alleged to be planning an attack on nuclear facilities. While the immediate outlook for Europe and its struggle with radical Islam is bleak, there are small victories here and there and this is one of them, saving one of Holland's treasured cultural icons and cash cows.

UPDATE I: A reader writes:

I hope very much that you're kidding that "Christian fundamentalists would equally cheer such an attack." If you're not, please consider that however much Christian fundamentalists might decry the existence of the red-light district, the number that would cheer a terrorist attack upon it is vanishingly small.

OK, noted.

UPDATE II: Judging from the inbox readers are more worried about whether Christian fundamentalists would or would not applaud an attack on a brothel, than the fact that the scope of jihadist plans is steadily broadening. I knew when I inserted that comment into the original post I would get some reactions and there are lots, thanks, and they are divided equally pro/con. Here's a fairly balanced and original one from another reader:

While I agree with the respondent that most Christian fundamentalists would not cheer a terrorist attack on a zone of prostitution, who do you think are the folks who frequent such businesses? The density of prostitution is far greater in red states than blue states, and the most common users of such facilities in convention cities such as Vegas are the visitors from red states.

Time the Vegas police shores up its security in anticipation of Muslim attacks.
