Today's Guardian gives space to Dilpazier Aslam, a "Guardian trainee journalist" who suggests that one shouldn't be shocked by Thursday's suicide bombings - such a reaction would be inappropriate because, among other reasons:
"Shocked would be to suggest that the bombings happened through no responsibility of our own."
Yes, ladies and gentlemen - we bear responsibility for the murderous actions of maniacal members of a religious cult. An apology is certainly called for - the queue forms to the right.
Needless to say, there are other reasons why shock is inappropriate. Mr. Aslam explains:
"Shocked would be to say that we don't understand how, in the green hills of Yorkshire, a group of men given all the liberties they could have wished for could do this."
Fortunately for those who still don't quite follow, Mr. Aslam provides an explanation immediately, in the very next paragraph - which reads, in its entirety:
"The Muslim community is no monolithic whole. Yet there are some common features. Second- and third-generation Muslims are without the don't-rock-the boat attitude that restricted our forefathers. We're much sassier with our opinions, not caring if the boat rocks or not."
Suicide bombing .... sassy!
Mr. Aslam makes much of pointing out that he, like the terrorists, is "a Yorkshire lad, born and bred," and is careful to preempt accusations of support for terror by saying that indiscriminate killing is "sad," and "not the way to express your political anger."
Although the Guardian article unaccountably omits the fact (presumably for reasons of space), Mr. Aslam is on record as supporting a world-dominant Islamic state, notably in his writings for London based site khilafah.com ("Khilafa" translates as "Caliphate". The site's tagline expresses its aim: "then there will be khilafah rashida [a righteous Caliphate] on the method of Prophethood [i.e., sharia]"). As he puts it, in an article he co-authored there:
"... we will have to run an Islamic state which must lead the world, economically, militarily and politically"
As the establishment of the state that he hopes to help run seems unlikely without the implementation of violent measures such as those we've seen, and also considering the fact that the Caliphate that Mr. Aslam so keenly anticipates is the stated goal of many such terrorists, readers can't help but question the sincerity of his thinly-voiced disapproval of inappropriate "sass."
In fact, his stated fear of "being labelled a terrorist-lover" seems particularly justified, in light of another of his khilafah.com articles - in which he specifically calls for violence:
"The establishment of Khilafah is our only solution, to fight fire with fire, the state of Israel versus the Khilafah State"
Incidentally, it should be pointed out that there's no question whatever about this "Yorkshire lad's" loyalty to Britain. He has made it quite clear that:
"Muslims grant their loyalty and allegiance to their deen and the Ummah, not to a football team or nation state."
Neither should there be any questions concerning the Guardian's use of columnists who advocate "fighting fire with fire" to bring about the establishment of a sharia-based Caliphate. After all, it's not the first time they've done so.

Screw you and your "but."
This aslam guy sure seems brave, eh? let him and his ilk do something really drastic - like repeat a beslan in the UK and thens ee the consequences. After all, anything done in the name of the 'injustices' at Fallujah and on Iraqi mothers is justified, ain't it not??
To know that the cr_phead works at the Guardian is even less surprising.
What an asshole.
This says it all: "Dilpazier Aslam is a Guardian trainee journalist."
Translation: he is both an IslamoFascist and a neo-Communist.
I'm sure there are a few young non-Muslims in the UK who are going to want to pay this fellow a "visit". They want to be sassy too.
Sometimes is best to just let your enemies make your case for you. Muslims side with muslim terror. Even educated muslims side with muslim terror... even British-born and educated muslims side with muslim terror.
If that isn't an argument for profiling, and for strict immigration controls, then you aren't paying attention.
Every article has referred to these guys as being "British". But this writer makes it clear that if you're muslim, you can't be British. You may carry a British passport, but you are not British.
What about the number of lives SAVED in that same amount of time? What about the people who were NOT massacred and dumped in mass graves? What about the children who did NOT starve because of the sanctions? I'd say that there are probably more civilians alive today than there would have been had nothing been done.
"Dilpazier Aslam is a Guardian trainee journalist"
Obviously this guy must still be in diapers and they mistook one of his soiled diapers for a news article.
"The establishment of Khilafah is our only solution, to fight fire with fire, the state of Israel versus the Khilafah State"
Note to Scotland Yard:
Lock this maniac up.

I wonder if Dilpazier Aslam was "shocked", ... or if he was sophisticated enough to know this would happen.
Well, it appears the Brits are going to have to lock up/execute/deport a lot more Muslims than they likely planned on.
Uh-huh. Even if that were so - and I doubt it - what was the death rate every two years when Saddam was in power?
A grievous sin of omission.......Lack of indignation for heinous acts, rather than complicity, is the sin of omission.
Uh huh. Is any of this "anger" directed at, say, the carbomber who blew up 25 Iraqi kids today? Or the terrorists killing Iraqis every day? Or Saddam's mass graves?
Didn't think so
Why should anyone listen to this "sassy" terrorist-loving hypocrite?
P.S. - I hope the British are keeping an eye on him. Sounds like a potential suicide bomber to me. Nice hiring practices, Guardian.
So when is Britain going to get really serious about Muslims? When they blow up Buckingham Palace, the queen, Parliament and the rest of the royals?
ULULULULULULULULULULUUUULULULULULULULULUL
ULULULULULULULULULULULULULULULULULULULUL!
Apparently the Guardian is doing a little affirmative action, and has put this trainee journalist on their PC Muslim beat.

His job is to write stories proving that Muslims are nice people, regular guys just like you and me, although occasionally oppressed by western society.
Perhaps it's just me, but I cannot imagine any Islamic state ever leading the world in anything except misery.
This is really pretty amazing. A Muslim writing in a mainstream British newspaper that the attacks were justified. Europe is really in trouble.
