Terrorists too cozy in the United Kingdom

And for good reason.

[aynrandfreak]

Wow, incredible, even for him! I hope that or something similar is posted in the Telegraph!

Radical Islam is an insane murder cult; moderate Islam is its Trojan Horse in the West.

You tell it like it is , Travis McGee

Islamakazi. That's a catchy term.

[Ciexyz]

Another good one from Steyn.

"Islamist welfare queens will use all the above to their full extent. So today imams living off welfare checks openly promote the murder of Tony Blair, British troops, etc., with impunity."

Living off of welfare under British rule demoralizes Muslims, especially if they are told by their leaders that their true coarse in history is to rule most of Europe under a powerful new Islamic theocracy. The message of ruling all of Europe is obviously an attempt to build their low self esteem... forget the idea of getting a job, fitting in and being productive (or even leaving the country if you don't like it's welfare system)... ruling over Europe is more important. Grievances upon grievances from Islamists but not an inch of gratitude for a liberal mind country that is generous in the extreme for its support of its own people and foreign peoples (African and Tsunami relief).

And whatever one's opinion of the various local conflicts around the world -- Muslims vs. Buddhists in Thailand, Muslims vs. Hindus in Kashmir, Muslims vs. Jews in the Holy Land, Muslims vs. Russians in Chechnya, Muslims vs. Christians in Africa...

I think I'm picking up on a common theme here. Nah, that would be profiling.

Roust every mosque..

Islamakazi. That's a catchy term.

It's not only catching, it is a potential PR war winning word! It captures the nature of the beasts perfectly. Even libs can understand it. It uses OUR language not THEIRS so there are none of the positive associations that words like jihad have to enhance the beasts' recruiting. And it carries the implication that they can be beaten! The PC elites will try to suppress it not so much because it is accurate or conservative, but because they'll see it as lowbrow. It will spread all the faster for being suppressed. May the term spread like 'Netfire.

And it's easier to say than TROPakazi.

"Europeans who aren't prepared to roll back Wahhabism better be prepared to live with it, or under it."

Powerful point...and I'd add Americans to that, too, since we seem to be averting our eyes from the obvious source of world-wide terrorism.

[BigEdLB]

Yes - They even publih magazines {WINK}

[D-fendr]

Islamakazi.

It also resonates with their alliance with Hitler in WWII and common anti-semitic genocide goals.

>Mustering the popular will for that sort of struggle isn't easy. But the longer you leave it the harder it becomes. These >days, if an American business traveler lands at Heathrow, the immigration officer plunks down in his passport a big stamp >saying ''RECOURSE TO PUBLIC FUNDS PROHIBITED.'' What a pathetic example of pointless gesture politics: If you're a >fancypants executive in town for 48 hours to splash a ton of hard currency around the West End, British immigration goes >through a big hoop-de-do about saying you've no entitlement to welfare. But if you're a Somali and you want to live in >public housing at public expense for six years while you fine-tune your plot to blow up Warren Street Tube station, pas de >probleme!

"If you're a fancypants executive in town for 48 hours to splash a ton of hard currency around the West End" ... then you are part of the evil Militaro-Industrial complex under whose mighty tracks the noble peasant proletariat are being mercilessly crushed were it not for the noble efforts of the Muslim jihadi who are prepared to sacrifice their lives in defense of the internationalist cause.

How can you even show your face at Heathrow at the gates of the Peoples Republic of not-Great-anymore-because-great-is-evil Britain ? Let alone expect to receive public funds.

Look ! Just look what you have done ! You have made these poor noble peasants hate us. And because you did not love them enough when instead you were enriching yourself by exploiting the masses in their misery, they're bombing us ! And it's all your fault .. EVIL ! EVIL !! EVIL !!!

"If the jihad has its war aims, maybe we should start thinking about ours. What would victory look like? As fascism and communism were in their day, Islamism is now the ideology of choice for the world's grievance-mongers. That means we have to destroy the ideology, or at least its potency -- not Islam per se, but at the very minimum the malign strain of Wahhabism, which thanks to Saudi oil money has been transformed from a fetish of isolated desert derelicts into the most influential radicalizing force in contemporary Islam, from Indonesia to Yorkshire to Virginia. Europeans who aren't prepared to roll back Wahhabism had better be prepared to live with it, or under it."

[HuronMan]

What about a naval blockade of Saudi Arabia? Nothing goes in. Nothing goes out.

[Grampa Dave]

I had rather see a full scale intel war launced against any Saudi financing Wahabism now and in the past.

If any Saudi gets involved in financing and pushing this Jihadist terrorism, let them wake up some morning with no money in their bank and off shore accounts.

That would send a very fast and chilling message to the rich Islamonazis who finance the Islamokazis.
