The "Moderates" of Woolwich

Gatestone 29 May 2013
By Samuel Westrop

If politicians and journalists, instead of working with genuine moderates, instead praise the reactions of groups that still aggressively promote Islamism, we legitimize such voices as the future of British Islam, while doing nothing to prevent the continued radicalization.

None of the responses to the Woolwich murder of a soldier, by two Islamists who tried to cut off his head, was revelatory, except for a set of seemingly moderate and sincere

 

Condell on London Jihad Butchery: "We Want A Clear Categorical Rejection of the Islamic Doctrine of Armed Jihad”

AndrewBostom.org 29 May 2013

Pat Condell has made an impassioned, logical demand (hat tip Jihad Watch) for what so-called moderate Muslims must do in the wake of the London jihad butchery last week

The historical record demonstrates that the jihad war theory which motivated the London atrocity has been put into practice by Muslims, continuously, across the globe, for over a millennium, through present times. What remains is for the Muslim intelligentsia to acknowledge this practice, as Bat Ye’or explained , over two decades ago, in 1991. She provided this scholarly call for the requisite mea culpa from the Islamic intelligentsia two decades ago (in her Les chretientes d’Orient entre jihad et dhimmitude: VIIe-XXe siecle):

Reflections on My Ex-Muslim Friends

FRONTPAGEMAG.COM 29 May 2013
By David Solway

Some of my best friends are Muslims. Or rather, some of my best friends were Muslims—not that they are no longer Muslims but that they are no longer my friends

The problem I had over years of friendship had to do with certain personal attributes which I value highly, namely, consistency and the ability to recognize facts. My friends were good men who believed in Western democratic values, in selective immigration policies based on the possession of needed skills that would contribute to both society and the economy, in the necessity for Muslim (and all) immigrants to assimilate into the heritage culture, and in customary methods of education and a traditional curriculum; they rejected the utter folly of multiculturalism as it is practiced in Canada.

 

I was a radical Islamist who hated all of you

Herald Sun 29 May 2013
By Maajid Nawaz

MOST people find it hard to imagine stabbing another human being, let alone almost decapitating someone with a meat cleaver.

To do so in broad daylight and in the middle of the road, while asking passers-by to take pictures, simply beggars belief. Few can understand how the British jihadists Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale could be filled with such hate.

I'm ashamed to say I can. For I was similar to them once.

 

The U.S. Helps Reconstruct the Ottoman Empire

Gatestone 29 May 2013
By Robert E. Kaplan

Each of these United States military interventions occurred in an area that had been part of the Ottoman Empire, and where a secular regime was replaced by an Islamist one. So far, the German policy of keeping hidden its leadership role in its attempt to reconstitute the Ottoman Empire has succeeded

Since the mid-1990s the United States has intervened militarily in several internal armed conflicts in Europe and the Middle East: bombing Serbs and Serbia in support of

Islam: Root Cause of Grooming and Rape Wave

FRONTPAGEMAG.COM 28 May 2013
By Nicolai Sennels

Packs of rapists and groomers seems to be epidemic in the UK. Their common denominator is their religious and cultural background

As a psychologist, I am not surprised that this horrific phenomenon emerges among immigrants from Islamic countries. Just as any other religion and culture, Islam and Muslim culture nurture certain psychological traits that influence values and behaviour.

 

Fjordman. A European Spring

On 22 May, 2013 two African militant Muslims armed with knives and Koranic quotations beheaded a British soldier in broad daylight in the streets of London, England, near the Royal Artillery Barracks in Woolwich. The murderers then praised Allah and stated that the British would never be safe in their own streets anymore.

At the exact same time, some of the immigrant-dominated suburbs of Stockholm, Sweden had erupted in major riots, going on night after night with car burnings and shouts of "Allahu akhbar!” during attacks on the police.

 

Where Islam Spreads, Freedom Dies

Islam versus Europe 28 May 2013

The worst consequence of the colonisation of our countries by third-world peoples is not jihad; it is not crime; it is not the parasitism of our welfare systems and consequent bankruptcy of our public exchequers. It is the abridgement of our freedoms

Third-worlders come to live within European civilisation in effect as refugees from their own failed countries. The third-world, by definition, has failed. Failed to achieve societies that offer prosperity and freedom to those who live in them.
