Do look back in anger

Today [May 22] is the fifth anniversary of the Manchester Arena atrocity. Five years since 22 young souls were extinguished by an Islamist extremist. Five years since children and teenagers were brutalised in the most barbaric way imaginable for the crime of loving life and music and Ariana Grande. Five years since the neo-fascistic intolerance of the Islamist worldview was visited with such ferocity upon youthful, carefree pop fans. And how are we commemorating this grimmest of anniversaries? Meekly, quietly, if at all. The message from on high is the same today as it was in May 2017: Don’t get too het up about this. ... Don’t look back in anger.

From the moment Salman Abedi detonated his baleful package, destroying not just life and limb but also the myth that Islamist extremism is not something we need to worry about very much, the cry went out to ‘Calm down’. ***

From the calamity in Manchester to the Islamist murder of MP David Amess, from the 2017 slaughter in London Bridge to the Islamist killing of three gay men in a park in Reading in 2020, every i-word attack in the UK is followed by a brief period of mourning and then a far longer period of avoiding the issue. Fear of the public, fear of causing offence, and fear of their political ideologies being exposed as the facilitators of division and violence – this is what underpins the elites’ cynical shushing of frank debate about the problem of Islamist extremism. Enough is enough. Let us remember the people killed in Manchester, and let us also remember that the only way to tackle extremism is through naming the problem at hand and then confronting it intellectually, politically and forcefully. Do look back in anger.

Ironically, the author, while pointing out pro-Mohammedan bias and censorship in the culture, is himself unable to address the issue without the euphemism of referring to Mohammedan violence as "extremism."

People can delude themselves and others about how to deal with terrorists, fanatics, murderers, however you want to describe them, but there’s only ONE effective solution and that is to remove them PERMANENTLY from civilized society, i.e., in the dungeon or the dirt!

Keep making excuses for barbarian actions and you’ll keep wondering why every single time.

Fools and their folly.
