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.

a great faith ,, a perversion of a great faith.. England too has a record of perverting things,, they take the concept of noble to a new low.. their leadership reflects it.. as will a climbing bodycount over time and as attacks continue unabated against defenseless victims.

A new form of terrotourism?

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

At best, she's a weak immitation of John Major. Wobbly. Very wobbly.

Of course not! Not here in our no-go zones, Muslim Major, Muslim a$$ kissing country. We would never attribute a Muslim attack to a Muslim. Europe is full of idiots and will soon be ruled by the Caliphate.

The guy was born in Great Britain. If it wasn’t Islamic, where did he get the idea?

Good grief!

If the “rank-and-file” Muslim, including the Imams in most mosques, were to come out and strongly condemn this and other ISIS acts of terror, then PM May would be correct in her comments. However, the cricket sounds coming from the mosques and non-violent followers of the tenets of Islam is, IMHO, a tacit APPROVAL of these actions. Given that, Ms. May, along with W and a host of other politicians who value Political Correctness over Personal Security, are wrong, wrong, wrong in their comments.

Even, you could say, “dead” wrong.

The UK is well on its way to being renamed the Islamic Emirate of Britain. It’s only a matter of time.

well, it wasn't a radical Christian. It was done by a radical Buddhist. It wasn't a radical Hindi nor even a radical atheist. So who could it be? Let's see.... Satin?!

Islamism is part and parcel of Islam.

To say otherwise is akin to saying that faithful evangelists don’t represent Christians.

Who is she to say so? Does Islam have some sort of central authority that determines what is Islamic?

Let’s say he did not do it because of Islam. It’s still true that another person with an Islamic background thought this was an appropriate and acceptable thing to do.

I’d argue that it’s even worse for my perception of Islam if these acts are not done because of belief in or association with a radical Islamic group (e.g. ISIS) but because an Islamic background is all it takes to make some individuals think these acts are proper for non-religious reasons.

“Why is everybody in government in Europe so bloody stupid about Islam and its practitioners?”

The EU, the euro, multiculturalism, political correctness, globalism, cultural liberalism, homosexualism, “anti-racism” etc. are all forms of idolatry.

The secularists believe that if they faithfully “serve” these idols, all the things they most fear like wars, slavery and genocide will not happen in the future.

But, of course, all idols are false. They are the created, not the Creator. Idols have no actual power, and those who depend on them always find that idols catastrophically fail.

And the failure of idols always precipitates the very outcomes the idols were supposed to prevent.

When idol worshippers see that their idols are failing. They don’t abandon them. They sacrifice to them all the more.

Thus, we can predict that as the terrorism situation in Europe becomes more dire, the reliance on multiculturalism, political correctness, appeasement and surrender will only grow.

Centuries upon centuries of evidence speak out against her.

And the Muslim Mayor of Londonstan is saying in effect “Get used to it”.

Oh to hell with these people!

England, Sweden, Germany, Ireland...they are all the same pussies!

They aren’t worthy of the continent. If the east of europe cant save them, then oh well.
