Excellent point, Berdie. I suppose jihadists can be better compared to cancer, which invades its host and simply destroys everything until the host is dead.
We have been warned for decades.
I was thinking that while typing. Radical Islam doesn't need to warn us. They've been destroying everything they touch for centuries. That's all the warning that any alert culture ought to need.
You would think so.
The high-powered group will study a number of measures, including banning extremist clerics from being given public platforms to incite students, prisoners and other followers – and forcing mosque leaders to answer for ‘hate preachers’."
As long as this group is 'studying a number of measures', they'd better soberly confront the fact that these people don't respect anything but brute force, and that they won't be stopped by anything less than a full scale crackdown, which should include bringing everything their laws have to bear against them.
The British government and citizenry need to get a grip on the reality of the situation they face. They have a militant invasion force within their midst that is making war on them and their culture. It's time for them to stop tip-toeing around the truth, and heed the words of one of their most illustrious Prime Ministers:
"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity.The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen; all know how to die; but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome."
- Sir Winston Churchill
....”The British government and citizenry need to get a grip on the reality of the situation they face. They have a militant invasion force within their midst that is making war on them and their culture”.....
Same here in the US....just hasn’t reached that height yet, but it’s coming! Fort Hood should have been the ultimate heads up ....but our politicians continue to gloss over every incident making it somethin else altogether.
We are surely going the same way as Britain....faster than most care to see...they continue to deny the obvious.
Al Wilson recorded it first.
Thanks, Didn’t know that. Tried to look it up and what I found was that both had recorded “The Snake” AND “Poor Side of Town” which Rivers wrote...so I don’t know which came first. I know they are both great songs by great musicians, although I never heard Al Wilson’s version of either. I have heard many of his other music so I figure these two must have been good too...
Big difference here, is we can shoot back. The Brits can't.
Until his 2008 death Al Wilson used to regularly perform in a city near here as part of the "oldies" package put together by one of the radio stations.
...”Big difference here, is we can shoot back. The Brits can’t”....
For now....but as we see they are more than trying to disarm the public...and we already see laws protect the guilty...and ban the innocent.
Everythings being turned upside down.
