 Outside the Beltway 

Al Qaeda Should Emulate the Mormons

Steven Taylor has an idea for making al Qaeda more effective at maintaining their relevance while simultaneously being less destructive: They should be more like the Mormons.

Imagine: “two guys from al Qaeda riding bikes around the neighborhood in white short-sleeved shirts and ties, turbans and long beards handing out brochures.”

It’s easy if you try.
