Anniversary of 7/7
England marked the anniversary of the 7/7 attacks with two minutes of silence. Only problem is countries like Great Britain have been silent for way too long. People in the US had to deal with 9/11. Australia had the Bali bombings. On and on I could go. There is one, I repeat one, common denominator in all these attacks: the perpetrators were all Muslim extremists.
Britain had dealt with Irish Republican Army attacks for decades and had endured the bombing of a U.S. airliner over Lockerbie, Scotland, in 1988 that killed 270 people. But last summer’s bombings plunged Britons into the new era of terrorism that began with the Sept. 11 attacks — an act that had led Britain to become the strongest ally in the U.S.-led fight against terror.
Britain also was forced to examine the implications of its multiculturalism: All four suicide bombers were young British Muslims — three born in Britain of Pakistani origin and one a Jamaica-born convert who grew up in central England.
One of the London bombers was shown in a video released Friday on the Internet, saying that non-Muslims in Britain had declared war on Islam.
Terrorism committed in the name of Islam has led many to wonder whether, in the post-Cold War era, the world is gripped by another clash of civilizations — one in which the values of Western liberal democracies are in irreconcilable conflict with those of Muslims, whose numbers are growing across Europe.
We are in a war of survival for our nation and our way of life. If these people had their way, sharia law would be instituted immediately. Then we could forget about freedom of religion, there would only be one religion—Islam. We could forget about freedom of the press, Imams would determine what was worthy of print. You could forget about a fair trial, the Second Amendment, and all the other rights we hold so dear. They will be a thing of history and soon forgotten since historians could only study Islam.
What do Muslims who are enjoying the freedoms of Great Britain have to think? Take a look at this. After the 7/7 bombings, a significant percentage of the Muslims living in Great Britain feel the terrorist acts were justified.
Just in time for the one-year anniversary of 7/7, a poll conducted for The Times of London indicates that 13 percent of British Muslims believe that the four Islamic suicide bombers who murdered 52 people in London last July should be regarded as “martyrs.”
With a Muslim population in Britain estimated at 1.6 million, this means that some 208,000 British Muslims regard these killers with what can only be described as a worshipful attitude, which is despicable. But Mother England, it seems, is home to an awful lot of despicable people.
England will not get serious about those who espouse violence. Take for example a recent protest march by these same violence advocators who led a march to the Danish embassy in London carrying signs.
“Behead Those Who Insult Islam,” said one placard. “Slay Those Who Insult Islam,” said another. “Kill Those Who Insult Islam” and, for variety, “Butcher Those Who Mock Islam,” said others. Hundreds of demonstrators marched through London, praising the 7/7 killers or calling for the murder of journalists who publish Mohammed cartoons. And the police stood by.
More accurately, they [the London Police] made sure the protest went off smoothly, as the Times Online reported. “People who tried to snatch away [the placards] were held back by police,” the newspaper reported. “Several members of the public tackled senior police officers guarding the protesters, demanding to know why they allowed banners that praised the ‘Magnificent 19′ — the terrorists who hijacked the aircrafts used on September 11, 2001 — and others threatening further attacks on London.”
And to believe there are people on the left who advocate the position that the US is the greatest threat to peace and world stability in the world. These people with the tin hats had better realize real quick who the enemy really is. While I fault the extremist Islamists for the terrorist acts, I also fault those on the left who fail to realize we as a nation are in extreme danger due to the terrorists. As more and more Muslims stream into our country so do those who would love to see the US crippled. These extremists will just as readily saw off the head of a flower carrying liberal as they would an American soldier.
Make no mistake about it, we are at war. Those who advocate violence need to be jailed if they are an American citizen or deported if they are not. Either way, we must start protecting ourselves against extreme Islam. Otherwise this country may be unrecognizable in the few short years it takes to institute sharia law.
