Boris Johnson has attacked Islamists who want to impose ‘mumbo-jumbo’ sharia law on Britain.
The Mayor of London condemned as ‘bunk’ the idea that there was a clash of civilisations and warned against exaggerating the ‘plague’ of militants.
Britain should not give the killers the prize they craved most – dividing us through perpetuating the myth of a 'war'
'This is a sinister political agenda that promotes a sense of grievance and victimhood among a minority of Muslims,’ he wrote in his regular column for the Telegraph.
‘The Islamists want universal sharia law and other mumbo-jumbo.
'Above all, they want power over others and so they prey on young men who feel in some way rejected by society and they fill those young men with a horrible and deluded sense of self-importance.’
He said universities should also stop pandering to extremists by allowing segregated meetings.
'The universities need to be much, much tougher in monitoring Islamic societies. It is utterly wrong to have segregated meetings in a state-funded centre of learning,'
'If visiting speakers start some Islamist schtick - and seek to call for or justify violence - then the authorities need to summon the police.'
He added that inciters like Abu Qatada 'should be put on a plane' and those that preach hate and violence must be arrested.
Mr Johnson said there needed to be a distinction between Islam – which gave enrichment to millions of peaceful people – and the ‘virus of Islamism’.
Islamist evangelists had no allegiance to Western society 'whose benefits systems they abuse'.
'Their avowed intent is to create a sexist and homophobic caliphate.'

It was a 'fitting rebuttal of the ghastly sexism of Islamist ideology' that one of the firearms squad who immobilised one of the alleged killers had been a woman.

Islam enriches society the way hooking up a hose to the exhaust enriches the atmosphere inside a car.
“The Mayor of London condemned as ‘bunk’ the idea that there was a clash of civilisations and warned against exaggerating the ‘plague’ of militants.”
In that case, the Mayor of Londonistan very much needs to pull his head out of his arse and take a good look around.
Bullwinkle: “Eenie meenie Chili beenie. The spirits are about to speak.”
Boris: “Shut up your mouth.”
Bullwinkle: “Now here’s a bomb, cleverly disguised as a bomb.”
PM Cameron: “No one should profit from insulting a prophet, uh ...
or something—moose and squirrel must die. One once bit my sister.”
Did Boris quit taking drugs?
You were taken in by "Pat Dollard", who deliberately misquoted Cameron.
Cameron is a wet, but not insane.
Could be Chicago but its England
>> Islam – which gave enrichment to millions of peaceful people – and the ‘virus of Islamism’.
I guess that’s the “mumbo jumbo” part.
And I’m dubious about the source of enrichment.

I try imagine there’s something beautiful about Islam, I really do... but I can’t think of a damn thing.
I respect Islam, however, in the sense that it’s a proven, intrinsic threat to its infidels — Islam is a war plan.
Islam turned its back to Christ.
Thank you for the clarification. I thought that even Cameron is not stupid enough to say something like that even if it was an opinion he held privately.
If the mayor of London is trying to make the case that Islam is just a matter of some good and some bad he is barking at the moon. Islam was intended from it’s beginnings with Mohammad to be a total society of civil and religious operations locked arm in arm. With this said I am very skeptical about the so called moderate Muslims being dedicated to a government such as intended in the Constitution. I fear that when/if push comes to shove the US will be besieged with moderate Muslims, burkas or not, pushing the US to go to Sharia law.
try to imagine ...
phuque no ... unite and kill the mfers
Boris?
BORIS??
Whatever happened to wonderful English names like Reginald,
Clive, or Rupert? (earp, choke, puke!)
Turkish/French ancestors...Moslem/Jewish/Christian
Johnson is the eldest of the four children of Stanley Johnson, a former Conservative Member of the European Parliament and employee of the European Commission and World Bank, and the painter Charlotte Johnson Wahl (née Fawcett),[3] the daughter of Sir James Fawcett, a barrister[4] and president of the European Commission of Human Rights.[5] His younger siblings are Rachel Johnson, a writer and journalist; Jo Johnson, Assistant Government Whip and Conservative MP for Orpington; and Leo Johnson, a partner in PricewaterhouseCoopers specialising in Sustainability.[6]
Johnson's maternal great-grandparents were palaeographer Elias Avery Lowe and translator H. T. Lowe-Porter.[7] On his father's side, Johnson is a great-grandson of Ali Kemal Bey, a liberal Turkish journalist and the Interior Minister in the government of Damat Ferid Pasha, Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire, who was killed during the Turkish War of Independence.[8] During World War I, Johnson's paternal grandfather and great-aunt were recognised as British subjects and took their grandmother's maiden name of Johnson. He has a grandmother who was born in Versailles, close to Paris. Johnson speaks French and has been interviewed in that language.[9] In reference to his cosmopolitan ancestry, Johnson has described himself as a "one-man melting pot"—with a combination of Muslims, Jews, and Christians comprising his great-grandparentage.[10] His father's maternal grandmother, Marie Louise de Pfeffel, was a granddaughter of Prince Paul of Württemberg, through his relationship with a German actress. Through Prince Paul, Johnson is a descendant of King George II and, through George's great-great-great grandfather James I/VI, a descendant of all of the previous British royal houses. Johnson is an 8th cousin of David Cameron.[11]
Johnson was born in New York City,[12] but his family returned to Britain soon afterwards, as his mother had yet to take her Oxford University final exams. Johnson's sister Rachel was born a year later. As a child, Johnson suffered from severe deafness and had to undergo several operations to have grommets inserted in his ears. He was reported to have been rather quiet as a child.[1] He was educated at the European School in Brussels,[13] at Ashdown House School and at Eton College, where he was a King's Scholar.
He read Classics at Oxford as a Brackenbury scholar, and was elected President of the Oxford Union at his second attempt. Frank Luntz[14] and Radosław Sikorski[1] have claimed Johnson touted himself as a supporter of the Social Democratic Party, then a dominant faction in the university, as a strategy to win the Union presidency, although Johnson denies that he was more than the SDP's preferred candidate. Along with David Cameron, George Osborne and Radosław Sikorski, he was a member of Oxford's Bullingdon Club, a student dining society known for destroying restaurant dining rooms and paying for the repairs afterwards.[15] He graduated from Balliol College with a 2:1.[16]
This same thing happened after 9/11. This is really a way to divide those who would unite against Islamic fanatics. Boris just wants Brits to sweep this attack under the rug like American leftists.
Will the last conservative in England please turn out the lights?
I feel like history is repeating itself like in the 1970’s when Nixon and Kissinger were having “detente” with the Soviets and signing the Helsinki Accord to affirm Soviet domination of Eastern Europe. Back then Communism was being appeased.
Now we are seeing the appeasement of Islam called a “religion of peace” by George W. Bush and being even more openly appeased by Obama.
