The Terrorists Aren't Trying to "Defeat Our Values", They're Trying to Kill Us
Frontpage ^ | March 22, 2017 | Daniel Greenfield

Right on cue. The canned response to terror.

"The location of this attack was no accident. The terrorist chose to strike at the heart of our capital city where people of all nationalities, religions and cultures come together to celebrate the values of liberty, democracy and freedom of speech. These streets of Westminster, home to the world's oldest parliament are ingrained with a spirit of freedom that echoes in some of the furthest corners of the globe.

"And the values our Parliament represents - democracy, freedom, human rights, the rule of law, command the admiration and respect of free people everywhere. That is why it is a target for those who reject those values. Let me make it clear today, as I have had cause to do before, any attempt to defeat our values through violence and terror is doomed to failure."

Actually terrorists are trying to both kill us and defeat our values.

Defeating our values makes it easier to kill us. Killing us makes it easier to defeat our values.

Islam hates all of those things because they are "man's law", not "Allah's law". But our leaders won't say it.

That is a shrinking demographic.

“any attempt to defeat our values through violence and terror is doomed to failure”

Doesn’t the Muslim succeed in defeating your values if he murders you? Dead people don’t have values as far as I’m aware of. Western leaders’ flowery words are getting really old.

The psychoterrorists in Hollywood and academia are trying to defeat our values and have made it quite clear that they’d like to see us dead (if we can’t be re-educated).

Daniel Pearl didn’t have time to argue about freedom of the press as his head was being sawed off with a dull knife. Liberals are living in their own fantasy land.

Let’s call them exactly what they are:

MUSLIMS!

No need for any other qualifiers. They are following the founder of their poisonous founder Muhammed.

“celebrate the values of liberty, democracy and freedom of speech.”

None of these are found in Britain

Bush II said that the 9/11 terrorists attacked us because “they hate our freedoms.” What a stupid remark! So 9/11 terrorists were angry because I have the freedom to vote?

All that sort of talk is meant to obscure one thing. The 9/11 terrorists wanted to kill infidels. The London terrorist from yesterday wanted to kill infidels. It’s as simple as that. Their goal is no more infidels.

Islam is not about an intellectual battle of ideas.... it is about SUBMISSION, PERIOD. SUBMIT to what we are told is the will of our false god, or die, PERIOD.

I am fighting with british friends over May’s completely inadequate and clichéd response to this mess. If I hear “keep calm and carry on” (which is Brit-speak for ignore the mayhem) I’m gonna go jihadi!

Bush II is a hopeless idiot. Always has been. Always will be.

No because they hate your freedom to be decadent. Hell I probably agree more with the muds on how society should be ordered than I do with the freaking libs, if only they weren’t out to kill me. As they are, I want them dead.

I would support a return of the “Wanted Dead or Alive” posters of yesteryear, where the LEOs post a photo of the guy they want and how much the reward is and then you could go and kill the bad guy and claim a reward.
