In the wake of the massacre in Manchester, people rightly warn against blaming the entire Muslim community in Britain and the world. Certainly one of the aims of those who carry out such atrocities is to provoke the communal punishment of all Muslims, thereby alienating a portion of them who will then become open to recruitment by Isis and al-Qaeda clones.
This approach of not blaming Muslims in general but targeting “radicalisation” or simply “evil” may appear sensible and moderate, but in practice it makes the motivation of the killers in Manchester or the Bataclan theatre in Paris in 2015 appear vaguer and less identifiable than it really is. Such generalities have the unfortunate effect of preventing people pointing an accusing finger at the variant of Islam which certainly is responsible for preparing the soil for the beliefs and actions likely to have inspired the suicide bomber Salman Abedi.
The ultimate inspiration for such people is Wahhabism, the puritanical, fanatical and regressive type of Islam dominant in Saudi Arabia, whose ideology is close to that of al-Qaeda and Isis. This is an exclusive creed, intolerant of all who disagree with it such as secular liberals, members of other Muslim communities such as the Shia or women resisting their chattel-like status.
What has been termed Salafi jihadism, the core beliefs of Isis and al-Qaeda, developed out of Wahhabism, and has carried out its prejudices to what it sees as a logical and violent conclusion. Shia and Yazidis were not just heretics in the eyes of this movement, which was a sort of Islamic Khmer Rouge, but sub-humans who should be massacred or enslaved. Any woman who transgressed against repressive social mores should be savagely punished. Faith should be demonstrated by a public death of the believer...

When the girly mayor of Manchester started his politically correct rhetoric, you immediately knew he was delusional and worthless. What is more he is what passes for leadership in England. The murdering lowlife Muslim died actually believing that he was doing the will of the divine and would be rewarded in some sort of pleasant afterlife. This is the way Islam molded not only him but the 9/11 terrorists, the barbaric Sunni jihadists, thousands of suicide bombers and the rest. The “tolerant” West cannot and will not eliminate the source of the terrorism. Instead their leaders have been bought off by the wealth of the criminals and their people will continue to suffer and ultimately forfeit their heritage.
*slam is the reason, and *slam must be banned.
I’d really like to see this paraphrased down to a short paragraph.
All I really got from it was wasabi is bad.
Wahabbi.
Wahabbi is a militant version of Sunni Islam.
Wasabi is pretty good actually, esp. with Sushi and on almonds.
Wasabi is an acquired taste. I don’t plan to acquire it though.
But they'll blame President Trump, blame the west and blame the victims.
They want the most horrific atrocities to occur and to kill infidels. What’s to wonder about?
Patrick Cockburn, please read history.
This strain of Islam did not start out of in the early 1700s (the date of the eponymous supposed founder of wahhabism) but much much earlier. In fact there have always been an extremist islamist jihadist aspect to Islam since its inception. This is over 1000 years old. It started from the very beginning.
If you read history you will see wave after wave after wave of ISIS-like groups arising and marauding across the middle east, asia, eastern europe to the russian steppes and beyond. It’s all chronicled and available to read and learn from. But hardly anyone does.
None of this is new or recent. It’s age-old.
And yet we sell millions of dollars of military equipment and technology to these Wahhabist who fund and encourange terrorism across the globe.
We are truly stupid.
A quick reading seems to show the author is still absolving Islam as the culprit. Its only this tiny little sliver of what really isnt islam because islam means peace. Gag.
The best reaction to this incident I’ve read is on Barhardt.biz, Ann Barnhardt’s website from a God vs. satan perspective.
Not we but the politicians who are paid off by the arabs.
We have common sense and know who is responsible.
Yes, I know, I was having some fun with a similar word most of us know about. Wahabbi is a new term for most Westerners.
