Don't Mince Words: The London car-bomb plot was designed to kill women
Slate ^ | July 2, 2007 | Christopher Hitchens

Posted on 07/04/2007 1:46:25 PM PDT by Lorianne

Only at the tail end of the coverage was it admitted that a car bomb might have been parked outside a club in Piccadilly because it was "ladies night" and that this explosion might have been designed to lure people into to the street, the better to be burned and shredded by the succeeding explosion from the second car-borne cargo of gasoline and nails. Since we have known since 2004 that a near-identical attack on a club called the Ministry of Sound was proposed in just these terms, on the grounds that dead "slags" or "sluts" would be regretted by nobody, a certain amount of trouble might have been saved by assuming the obvious. The murderers did not just want body parts in general but female body parts in particular.

Personally, I just think they were looking for mass casualties, male or female. And big headlines in the news.

It's the al Qaeda way.

This is just more proof that Islam is not a religion, it’s a disease. Once Islam infects the human soul, the diseased person should no longer be considered human.

Unfortunately, the only cure for this disease is euthanasia.

If they hate women so much, and England is against the death penalty I have the perfect solution.
Sex-change operations for them all.

Make an Muslim Man A Woman Day.

the list could be endless. :)

Another thing to consider. These guys were doctors and in 2005, 1,629 people died in UK hospitals due to MRSA. There is probably not a link, but it does make you wonder.

There IS a bright spot in an otherwise depressing article. Here they appear to be breeding themselves out of effective existence: “In some families in my street,” he writes to me, “the grandparents, parents, and the children are all first cousins—it’s been going on for generations and so the effects of the inbreeding are quite pronounced by now.” By his estimate and others, a minority of no more than 11 percent is responsible for more than 70 percent of the birth defects in Yorkshire. When a leading socialist member of Parliament drew attention to this appalling state of affairs, she was promptly accused of, you can guess...Islamophobia

It's odd that the attack on the nightclub in Bali is seldom mentioned in this connection.

Actually, Arabs have been marrying their paternal first cousins for more than 1500 years, even before they became Muslims. And the custom has spread where Muslims have conquered, as in Pakistan.

There was an article posted here a month or two ago on this custom. One effect certainly is inbreeding. Another is the reinforcement of tribalism.

Maybe that helps to explain why so many of them are blood-thirsty nutjobs wearing towels on their heads. Yet another reason to banish them all from the West and make them return to their ancestral and natal hell holes to live.

I'd be careful about who you call a "slag".

I had to look that one up.


Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) is a type of bacteria that is resistant to certain antibiotics. These antibiotics include methicillin and other more common antibiotics such as oxacillin, penicillin and amoxicillin. Staph infections, including MRSA, occur most frequently among persons in hospitals and healthcare facilities (such as nursing homes and dialysis centers) who have weakened immune systems.

MRSA infections that are acquired by persons who have not been recently (within the past year) hospitalized or had a medical procedure (such as dialysis, surgery, catheters) are known as CA-MRSA infections. Staph or MRSA infections in the community are usually manifested as skin infections, such as pimples and boils, and occur in otherwise healthy people. (see Community-associated MRSA. )

"Jihad" a severe mental disorder caused by living exclusively amongst unshowered, bearded, men in pajamas, with symptoms worsening from putting your face directly behind their bent-over backsides 5 times everyday. Likely to result in the extreme hatred of women and a strong desire to blow one's self up amongst those un-afflicted by Jihad.

Insist on non-Muslim doctors at all times. That’s one angle I hadn’t even considered, the secret jihad inside the medical professions.

There is no doubt that Islamic society has significant psychosexual dysfunction.

Circumstances may have allowed the murderers to choose between blowing up women they consider sluts or blowing up homosexuals for only a few hours after these bombs were supposed to go off there was going to be a big gay "pride" parade.

It would appear that killing slutty women was more important than killing slutty men. This tends to be in harmony with other things that have been written about Islamic society with respect to sexual relations.

For example, see Symposium: To Rape an Unveiled Woman By Jamie Glazov at: http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=21502

It appears that homosexual boy-love is rampant in these societies so it is sanctioned if the double standard is correctly adhered to. But how the male-dominated culture treats females is another matter. More to the point:

"... In a society where sex is absolutely forbidden, taboo, and where separation between males and females is absolute, where in most cases marriages are not the result of love but of a financial arrangement between two families, the sensual or erotic aspect of any relationship between genders is, de-facto, suspicious, considered evil, and therefore an act of aggression. Sexual “revenge”, containing violence, can be naturally considered as the automatic answer to the “ provocations “ described above, and this for two reasons.

In Muslim society the male is dominant and almighty since he is made after God, when women have been created as a necessary evil to tempt males. In other words, the female body is the closest thing to the Devil, something which has to be dominated as a proof a faith. We go back to the sacrifice of Eros to Thanatos, as one of the basic sacrifices of all monotheisms, where, since the origins of the Bible, first inspiration to the Koran, women have been the carriers of the original sin.

In such a pattern, a male will not only consider any suspect behavior, including the mildest one, as an evil temptation, but he might look forward to experiencing one, as a religious challenge. Whatever will happen then wonÂ’t be the result of his own will, but he believes in having received absolution in advance for an act that, he knows, is against his own religion. During these minutes of deception and absolute power, he is not abusing a woman but fighting the Devil inside.

Of course, primitive chauvinism is the second reason. Again, since males in chauvinist societies are deprived of all natural pleasures resulting from what we consider a normal relationship between men and women, beside sexual ones, the level of frustration is very high and the fear of impotency even higher. A male tempted must react. The automatic result to frustration and fear is usually violence. In this case, sexual violence...."

Another interview in FrontPageMag talked about the phenomena that (what is left of) male suicide bombers are sometimes found with the genitals wrapped in aluminum foil.

This article (which I would link to if I could find it again) concluded that at least some young males were blowing themselves up as a way to meet girls.

From: http://www.radioopensource.org/generational-divide-in-the-middle-east/

"... IÂ’d like to know if any of your panel is aware of the French Documentary Filmmaker Pierre Rehov, and what they think of his work. He has an up-coming film called “Suicide Killers” being released this month, but he caught my attention with an interview he gave about the project to MSNBC last July. (the interview is published on the bottom of www.pierrerehov.com)

In a nutshell, he delves into the Psychopathology of Islam itself — specifically the separation of the sexes. He says there is a sort of culture-wide anxiety that Terrorists use to manipulate suicide bombers. Here is the quote that grabbed me:

“It is no coincidence that suicide killers are mostly young men dominated subconsciously by an overwhelming libido that they not only cannot satisfy but are afraid of, as if it is the work of the devil. Since Islam describes heaven as a place where everything on earth will finally be allowed, and promises 72 virgins to those frustrated kids, killing others and killing themselves to reach this redemption becomes their only solution.”

He goes on to describe suicide bombers wrapping their genitals in fire-proof tinfoil so that they are preserved for the afterlife to avoid the irony of arriving at the doorstep of 72 willing virgins with you junk blown offÂ…..."

From the web site for the film: Suicide Killers (www.suicidekillers.com):

"... There is one overwhelmingly obsessive preoccupation among young men who live in a stiflingly restrictive society: SEX. From beneath grindingly strict sexual codes, these young men believe in the promise � they veritably lust after the prospect � of being presented in paradise with 72 virgins, provided they die on earth as martyrs. ..."

The other thing I heard mentioned only briefly is, that the day the Glasgow car exploded in the airport, was the first day of vacation for children coming home from school.

In England many children go to boarding school, and no doubt by hitting the airport they were aiming at killing kids that were traveling.
