We must stop appeasing Islamist extremism
telegraph.co.uk ^ | March 14, 2009 | Ed Husain

There is something happening inside Britain's Muslim communities. The disgraceful, treacherous protest in Luton last week at the homecoming of the brave Royal Anglian regiment is an indication of resurgent extremism. Does our Government have the political stamina to fight it?

It's comfortable for us to think that these are the actions of a small minority – but are they? The vile mob that hurled abuse against returning troops does not operate in a vacuum, somehow removed from other Muslims. Only two weeks ago, the same group of extremists openly marched in Tower Hamlets, Britain's most densely populated "Muslim area". Where was the local outrage against these bigots? The nearby east London Mosque – Europe's largest Muslim institution – sends groups of young vigilantes to hound local prostitutes and drug dealers, but it turns a blind eye to extremism.

This nationwide network of fanatics, who give themselves various names at different times to deceive the authorities – from al-Muhajiroun to the Saved Sect – is an offshoot of Hizb ut-Tahrir, a group that shares al-Qaeda's aim of a global caliphate, but uses different methods.

It is too late for the U.K. now because the citizens gave up their guns and their rights to defend themselves. They also bought the whole PC crap. Hoping we will not go down the same road.

We have just begun appeasing.
Everyone assumed in the months after 9/11 that we would stop educating terrorists here but now we are boosting Palestinian student visas.
Washington has failed to protect us on immigration legal and illegal.

I haven’t been to London in over five months. Last time I was there, downtown London looked like a scene from Islamabad or worse. I think it is to late for the UK.

One big diff; if zero tries to impose a UK style gun ban, that will be our Archduke Moment - and even that hag socialist Pelosi seems to know it (she basically told zero to back of that play ... for now).

We can thank people like Dick Durbin for spreading lies that soldiers are killing innocent women and children in the dark of the night.

They act like they don’t like us. Why the #%&@ do they come to our nations if they cannot tolerate us? I wish every damn one of them would stay the #%&* out!!!

By the way, electing some guy named hussein sounds like a brilliant idea. We’re outnumbered by idiots in this nation.

We moved back to Texas from Southern California. I can’t believe all the gangs, crime, graffiti out there. It is starting to look like Tijuana, in some parts of So Cal. Used to be so beautiful. Some tagger even spray painted the sign that I had to SEE and READ to find my exit to where I lived, and that section of 210 freeway is new and that sign is new. They did clean that one off, but it is rare to have graffiti cleaned off along the roadways in Calif. THere is NO graffiti in this little Texas town.

We noticed that right away when we lived in Texas. You could go almost to any small town, and you didn't find graffiti. We lived in and outside of Austin for years; the only place you found graffiti was in places over-ran by Mexicans.

It seems, IMHO, that Texans have a sense of pride, and a respect of other people's property. The nation could learn many good and positive messages from Texans.
My favorite is:

"Steal from my neighbor, and I'll take my shotgun and blow yer head clean off - and the laws says I can do it".

That depends on your definition of extreme.

Are they aware that the only way to stop them from becoming "extreme", is to "thin their herd" to keep them below 5% of the local area population.

In a more sane world, treasonous scum like Dickless Dirtbin would be strung up.

The slamists have worn out their welcome. It’s time to throw them out of Europe again. Your ancestors had the guts to do it.

Stop appeasing?......Hell, we just handed them Bosnia and Kosovo..

The West (Britain, The U.S., etc) have a long history of appeasing Islamic Terror and throwing Christians under the bus.

If anyone likes, I can link a web site FYI. Just ask me.

My parents were in London in the 1960’s, over 40 years ago, and I’m told it was like Islamabad even then.

I see, now that Brits are having a problem we need to do something about it. What a bunch of BS.

Deal with it. That wanted the EU and integration and now they don't like it. Yet the same people illegally made an islamic country out of Serbian Christian lands, that they had no problem with even when there wasn't a law in the world that supported it.

I hope they make a mosque out of the royal palace. I also support a free Northern Ireland and a free Scotland.

The chickens are coming home to roost in Great Britain.

The Serbs knew exactly what "Jihad" was and tried to maintain their lands as Christian lands in the 1990s.

For this, they were accused of "Genocide" and "Ethnic Cleansing".
