Getting Used to It
Steyn On-line ^ | June 7, 2017 | Mark Steyn

Britain goes to the polls tomorrow, and Theresa May seems all but certain to be extending her stay in Downing Street - despite having fought a remarkably inept election campaign, in the course of which 29 people have been killed in terrorist attacks by "known wolves" so known that one had been reported to MI5 by at least three foreign governments (the French, Italians and Americans) and the other had starred in a Channel 4 documentary called The Jihadis Next Door.

I joked on Monday morning that the latter was Emmy-nominated for Best Jihadist in a British Extremism Documentary, but these days all the satirical fancies are humdrum reality: It seems the show was nominated for Best Documentary in Britain's prestigious Grierson Awards and Best News and Current Affairs in the Broadcast Awards. We are all supposed to be shocked by the recent poll finding that two-thirds of British Muslims would not notify the police if they knew of a terrorist sympathizer, but really one can hardly blame them given the authorities' lethargic attitude to those who do get reported.

And another jihadi event...This morning, a woman en route to the nursery school where she works was stabbed by three girls shouting "Allah will get you!" Hey, don't worry, the police say it wasn't terrorism, just ...daily life in "one of the safest global cities in the world"

A panel of talking heads on BBC the other day nattered nodded until the all agreed that terror attacks in Britain would continue for “a generation” and then stop.

As if Muslims ever actually stop killing infidels just because they’ve been neighbors for 20 years.

Morons.

I can't help but see the connection to the Cloward-Pivens effect where the left works to overwhelm the system so that it crashes under its own weight.

No wonder Bummer and Hillster were working so hard for the Arab Spring.

International Cloward-Pivens on steroids.

I wonder what steps the English authorities would take if the IRA cranked up a bombing campaign in London and throughout England again. What if the IRA linked up with the jihadis to spread mayhem? Makes you wonder.

What if the IRA started bombing mosques, which seems more up their alley unless I misunderstand them badly.

She’s incompetent on the security front and I would not be surprised, or disappointed, if the British un-elect her.

“Mr Larner seems disinclined to get used to it - and “F**k you, I’m Millwall” is a more encouraging sign of a societal survival instinct than “one love”.”

Britain needs many more Mr Larners. He deserves a medal of honor.

Islam was founded approximately in the year 610AD.

That’s when muslims started killing non-muslims on planet earth.

In about 600 million years, earth will be uninhabitable (sun’s luminosity will be 10% more than now, raising earth climate temperatures to above 50%C). That’s when muslims will stop killing non-muslims on planet earth.

Unable to prevent even the most obvious "Soldier of Allah" from breezing past the desk at Heathrow in his Isis T-shirt, they mysteriously discover hitherto unknown levels of efficiency when faced with such threat priorities as Pamela Geller or Michael Savage.

Well stated.

That would be just renewing old friendships with Libya.

http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-northern-ireland-12539372

So what exactly is the link between Colonel Gaddafi and Northern Ireland?
In the 1960s the Provisional IRA was badly armed, relying on old weapons, some dating back to World War II.
Muammar Gaddafi, who took over Libya in a 1969 coup, saw the IRA as a comrade-in-arms fighting British imperialism and he was partly responsible for providing it with more modern weaponry.
The first proven connection with Libya was discovered in 1973 when the Irish Navy boarded a ship called the Claudia, off the Irish coast.

They found five tonnes of weaponry supplied by Libya.

Links between Gaddafi and the IRA re-emerged in 1986 after Gaddafi’s adopted daughter was killed along with more than 100 other people by US bombing raids launched from UK bases.
The Libyan leader has said he resumed contact with the IRA in the aftermath of those air raids.

This is just the beginning. They are doomed and it is sad to see.

D-Day as it turns out was all for nothing. Great Britain and Germany are dying societies by the Muslim rot.

Would a fascist Europe run by the Third Reich be any worse than what is going on today? Hitlers dream was a Teutonic paradise. Well a least that was western culture he wanted to preserve. Now Europe is rolling over to medieval Muslim Jihadis.
