Theresa May says ‘Islamist’ Westminster Attack ‘Not Islamic’
Breitbart ^ | 3/23/17 | Liam Deacon

Posted on 03/23/2017 10:24:33 AM PDT by Impala64ssa

The Prime Minister has said the “Islamist” attack on Parliament was not “Islamic” and Islam is a “great faith”.

Taking on the role of a theologian, Theresa May insisted: “It is wrong to describe this as Islamic terrorism. It is Islamist terrorism. It is a perversion of a great faith.”

Speaking in Parliament, she also said the attack showed “the importance of all of our faiths working together, and recognising the values that we share”.

Adding: “This act of terror was not an act of faith. It was a perversion; a warped ideology, which leads to an act of terrorism like that and it will not prevail.”

Islamism is generally defined as a political interpretation of Islam. Some critics argue Islam is intrinsically political – as the Quran mandates a religious state and law – and say the term is irrelevant.

MPs almost unanimously agreed with the Prime Minister, lining up to warn against “demonising” and “stigmatising” Muslims, and to condemn “Islamophobia” and “racial and religious” discrimination.

Khalid Mahmood, the Labour MP for Birmingham Perry Barr, said the attacker or attackers “pretend to be of a particular religion”.

“If they were of a religion they would not be carrying out acts like this,” he added.

This level of denial is more pathetic and dangerous than the time Mary Jo Buttafuco was all over the media denying Joey was messing around with Amy Fischer, while she had a bullet in her face put there by the Long Island Lolita. At least Mary Jo eventually wised up and divorced the SOB.

As long at the UK’s government insists on trying to appease radical Muslims, they can expect more of these attacks. If I had any plans to visit London, I’d cancel them.

It was a perversion; a warped ideology,

*******************************************

The perversion and warped ideology IS Islam.
You cannot sugar coat 1400 years of jihad.

I have a question for May:

Would Mohammed in the 8th century used such tactics to help spread Islam?

Res ipsa loquitur.

LOL.

I have disliked this plummy-voiced phony from the first day she got the job. She, with the awkward handshake jokes and the wardrobe more fit for a teenager than a 60 year old hag, is leading her country to further disaster and dhimmitude. I’m just so sorry a decent American couple were caught up in her disaster.

Tomato. Tomahto.

6 of one. Half dozen of another.

Islamist. Islamic.

All the same.

It is painful to watch a person or a great society commit suicide.

A minor change in adjective and the problem is solved! This would be funny as hell if it weren’t for the people left dead and bleeding on the street. Not so funny.

Islamic, not Islamic
A proposition so fantastic
It discombobulates the mind
And chills the bone

For if these miscreants aren't Islamic
Are they dummies made of plastic?
Are these people dumb?
Or merely deaf of tone?

Ahh. It is “Islamist” terrorism, and not “Islamic” terrorism.

Whew. I thought there had been a wave of murders and violence perpetrated over the last 50 years by Islamic terrorists. You can only imagine my relief to realize it is Islamist terrorists responsible.

At first when people compared this woman to Maggie Thatcher I rolled my eyes. Now, I think I would throw up.
