Andrew McCarthy: No, the Problem in London Is Not ‘Islamist Extremism’
NRO ^ | Andrew McCarthy

Posted on 06/06/2017 4:23:30 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

Islamists want to impose sharia law on the West — which means all Islamists are ‘extremists.’

The Western schizophrenia about radical Islam is on full display in Britain, in the aftermath of the latest jihadist atrocity, the third in just the past three months.

Three terrorists rammed a van into a crowd on London Bridge and then went on a stabbing rampage, brutally assaulting pedestrians while braying that each blow was struck “for Allah.” A duly outraged Theresa May donned her prime-minister hat to announce that her government is “leading international efforts to take on and defeat the ideology of Islamist extremism around the world.” She also slipped on her amateur-imam cap, adjusted her rose-tinted glasses, and proclaimed that “Islamist extremism” is an ideology

that preaches hatred, sows division and promotes sectarianism. It is an ideology that claims our Western values of freedom, democracy, and human rights are incompatible with the religion of Islam.
And what right-thinking Western politico’s post-mass-murder speech would be complete without May’s insistence that this ideology is — all together now! — “a perversion of Islam and a perversion of the truth.”

Sigh.

What does Theresa May know about Islam such that she can decide what is a perversion of it? Precious little, I’d wager. Otherwise, she’d not babble on about “Islamist extremism,” a term right out of the Department of Redundancy Department.

If you are an Islamist in the West, you are, by definition, an extremist. An Islamist is a Muslim who believes Islam requires the imposition of sharia, Islam’s ancient, totalitarian societal system and legal code.

Islam means submission.

That’s the plan. That’s the future they expect for the West — submission.

It’s not subtle. It’s not mysterious. It’s the core of their little death cult.

Both the Muslim Allah is simply SATAN and Islam is from the devil.

It is puzzling that out of all the murder, the best the Brits are willing to do is to protest that “they will not divide us.”

I could tell them if I had the chance that Islam is not trying to divide us. They care nothing for that — we are already divided. Islamists want to destroy us. That always happens when Islam conquers a nation.

“..........Islamists want to destroy us. That always happens when Islam conquers a nation.”.....

EXACTLY why Trump is trying so hard to screen them out before they arrive on our shores.

From a friend..
He asked a ‘moderate’ muslim co-worker this:
If Muslims were the majority of people in the United States would you allow Christians, Jews and other religions to exist in this land?

He said, “Only if you convert to Islam”

Yeah by importing as many as she can to beat Germany and coddling them when necessary.

She is getting good at tyquia as well as any full blooded goat humping muzzie.

To the political elites, its more important to not offend anyone rather than stopping the bodies from piling up in the street.

> A duly outraged Theresa May donned her prime-minister hat to announce that her government is “leading international efforts to take on and defeat the ideology of Islamist extremism around the world.”

If May was truly serious about eliminating Islamist extremism, she would follow the example of William Henry Sleeman in wiping out the Thugee culture in India. Sleeman, in 1831employed an extensive campaign using profiling and intelligence. Thousands of men were imprisoned, executed or expelled from British India.
The campaign relied on captured Thugs who became informants. These informants were offered protection on the condition that they told everything that they knew. By 1871 the Thug cult was extinct. It took 40 years to remove this terrorist murder cult.
I’m fairly certain that Sleeman never heard of the concept of political correctness.

The very use the term “Islamic extremism” is a form of dhimmitude. I like McCarthy’s use of “sharia supremicism” much better,

How can someone call themself a Muslim and not believe in sharia?

Hmmm. Pelosi does a great job of calling herself a Catholic while engaging in the promotion of very unchristian causes....
But your point is well taken.

If a nation’s security forces have to place immigrants on a watch list, then that nation is completely stupid and law enforcement is derelict in their sworn duties for not deporting their sorry asses back to where they came from, and examine why they were allowed to enter in the first place. These government leaders and elected politicians have the blood of innocent people on their hands.

To the political elites, piling bodies up on the streets is a feature, not a bug. They intend chaos, mahem, death and destruction. How else will the people submit to a heavy-handed government control solution?

Population limitation is a side benefit.

If they wanted peace, they would allow and even encourage segregation. Some groups are flat incompatible.

When TSHTF the “peaceful” muslims all around us are going to surprise the snowflakes with their viciousness to us “unbelievers” and rabid enforcement of sharia law.
