Over a quarter of British Muslims have sympathy for the Charlie Hebdo terrorists
The Telegraph ^ | 25 Feb 2015 | Dan Hodges

Posted on 02/25/2015 10:21:20 AM PST by NRx

This morning the BBC published details of a major poll of the attitudes of Britain’s Muslims. The headline on the front of the BBC website linking to the research states: “Muslims ‘oppose cartoon reprisals’”. This of course relates to attitudes within the Muslim community towards the recent Charlie Hebdo attacks.

It’s a reassuring headline. It’s also wrong. Many Muslims - a majority - do indeed utterly oppose the murderous killings in Paris. But a very, very large number of Muslims don’t. Presented with the statement “I have some sympathy for the motives behind the Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris”, 27 seven percent agreed with the statement. A further 2 per cent refused to answer the question. And an additional eight percent said they were unsure whether they had some sympathy or not.

That is a shocking figure. And an utterly shaming one for Britain’s Muslim community. If this poll is accurate, over a quarter of British Muslims overtly sympathise with the motives of those responsible for the cold blooded murder of 16 journalists, police officers and Jews.

And it’s also clear that about 75% of British muslims lied on this survey.

The other three-quarters are engaging in Taqqiya.

Well, 70 percent. But the other 5 aren’t really Muslim, as they do not follow the teachings of their founding beheader.

I think a lot can be learned from the immune systems of biological organisms.

There are some symbiotic relationships between the host and “guest” organisms, particularly in the gut. But, the general rule is that if it’s different, immune surveillance picks it up, attacks it, and gets rid of it. Why? Because most of the foreign organisms are self-interested parasites which will damage or eventually kill the host.

Western PC (with a good dose of Communist/Alinsky scheming over the years) has devolved to the point where we pretend that our society doesn’t need an immune system. That’s what borders (like the skin) provide, when properly enforced. It’s what immigrant vetting and naturalization are supposed to provide.

So, now, with a long period of suppressed civic immune system, we’ve developed a number of civic diseases. We have colonies of self-interested nationalistic groups balkanizing the country. Maybe some of these are benign growths. But, we have metastatic ones too—Islamic and leftist—which seek complete overthrow of the host society and domination of its remaining parts.

Does anyone else think about the analogy between biological and political systems?

One cannot possibly understand Muslims if one doesn't know what's in the Koran.

For your and your family's survival, get and read The Complete Infidel's Guide to the Koran by Robert Spencer. available at Amazon.com

They are liars. Their “holy book” commands them to lie to infidels if it protects or furthers their faith. Never trust them until they prove irrefutably the subject at issue.

Just under 4 minutes of ABSOLUTE DYNAMITE re. ISLAM!
James Aloysius “Ace” Lyons, Jr. (born September 28, 1927) is a retired Admiral in the United States Navy whose 36-year career was capped by serving as Commander, U.S. Pacific Fleet from 16 September 1985 to 30 September 1987. (Wikipedia)
Every American should see and share this one!

There’s plenty out there.

I’d recommend “The Facts on Islam” by Jon Ankerberg. He also has free online videos with former muslims turned Christian discussing what is needed to know.

Hopefully the Brits wake up at some point and vote UKIP into office.

Britain needs to permanently DEPORT every last one of them.

Sorta like when businesses in the USA were forced into down-sizing & many private small business owners walked thru their parking lots & looked for all the Obama stickers to make their list of lay-offs!!!

Yes. The analogy also extends to cultural and ideological systems that exist at even higher levels of abstraction.

It suited members of our elites to - as you say - "pretend that our society doesn't need an immune system." This turn of thought seems to have gained widespread acceptance as a reaction to the terrible effect of technology-assisted global warfare waged in the last century, but I think its roots are somewhat older than that.

It's the swinging pendulum, overshooting equilibrium on every oscillation. The next swing may be a doozy.

One hundred percent is also over a quarter.
