British Audience Laughs at America’s 9/11 Attack

The American Thinker ^ | March 30th, 2004 | Michael Morris

Imagine going for a night out to the theatre in Germany during the 1930s. It would have been quite normal – with not one eyebrow raised in the audience – to be watching a production which showed film footage of Jews being beaten up. This would not be shown to elicit any sympathy, but purely to work up the crowd’s bilious hatred even more.

Then a short while later in the same production the clever actors would prompt the audience to start singing songs that encouraged even more visceral hatred for the Jews. Lyrics such as “Those Jews are all dirty, fat and rich – give them a good kicking” would be heard in full chant by enthusiastic theatre-goers. They certainly knew how to have a good time back then.

You probably think that it’s good that the world has moved on and those awful days are just a memory in our history books. Because it just could not happen today, could it?

Well, you’re wrong. It’s happening right now, in Birmingham, England, at a theatre not yet near you. Get your tickets fast because they are selling like hot-cakes.

The only difference is that the victims of the audience’s hatred are not Jews, but Americans.

Now I have to admit that I haven’t myself been to see this theatre attraction because I am unwilling to spend the $30 (or whatever it may cost) to line the pockets of its writer, a Mr. Alistair Beaton.

I personally believe that you don’t need to check out internet pedophilia sites to know they are evil, and I’m taking the same view on something as grotesque as “Follow The Leader,” the title of this sick play.

As reported by The Telegraph’s Charles Spencer, on Tuesday, “Follow The Leader” has just opened, and he went to see it, though clearly he wishes he hadn’t by the end of scene one. His review is appropriately titled “The laughter died in my throat” .

Mr Spencer writes: “The satire is so crude, the anti-American bias so profound, the image of Blair as Bush’s poodle so predictable, that I felt my gorge rising with distaste”

He continues with: “And when the whole audience is invited to sing along, in panto fashion, a delightful little ditty that goes: Let’s all be anti-American/What’s so wrong with that/They’re much too loud/ and they’re far too rich/ and one in three is incredibly fat – we seem to have descended to the level of the school playground.”

I think we can take that as thumbs down from The Telegraph’s columnist.

But don’t be too surprised that most people don’t even notice anti-Americanism these days in the chattering British classes. They love their prejudices with the same haughtiness as Germans did during the anti-Semitism of the 1930s.

“What’s really creepy about this piece is that though it shows the unforgettable footage of the attacks on the World Trade Centre, it can see no justice in America’s cause, no courage in Blair’s decision to support Bush in a war that relieved the world of a vile dictator”

Can anyone believe that a British audience would sit and watch such filth and be laughing all the way through? The murder of 3000 innocent civilians, many of them British, seems to be so very funny to some.

So I hope that American Thinker readers understand why I was not willing to go and see this sicko play first-hand.

I thank Mr. Charles Spencer and the Daily Telegraph for bringing this to our attention, and for having to sit through the darkest depths of prejudice against the new Jews – Americans.

Yep. And earned every stinking penney with hard work.

"Now I have to admit that I haven’t myself been to see this theatre attraction because I am unwilling to spend the $30 (or whatever it may cost) to line the pockets of its writer, a Mr. Alistair Beaton."

$30 is a small price to pay to see the actual production if one is going to write an article on it.

Perhaps these folks would understand our mindset had that group of Pakis busted this morning detonated their half ton fertilizer bomb in downtown London. It continually amazes me just how stupid these people can be.

Major kudos to Her Majesty's finest on that bust, BTW.

[DustyMoment]

It would seem that familiarity does breed contempt, after all. We have had a close bond with Britain since relatively soon after the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. Apparently, that bond is irreparably broken.

Shall we write a musical comedy about the Battle of Britain and laugh at the death that Hitler's buzz bombs wrought? Tempting as that might be, Americans simply have too much class to do something so despicable.

[Badeye]

Is anyone in this forum really surprised by this? Sheesh, after Timmy Robbins "play"?

At least they admit some hate us because we have a higher standard of living for ALL, that we do love to eat well, and we aren't "quiet" as is the "english way"...which btw has led them to ruin economically and on the world stage so many times in the past its redundent.

I like the Brits, but every society has a fringe element that takes pleasure in loss, takes delight in wanton death. They are no different in this aspect.

[Tribune7]

I would say Michael Moore has laughed at it.

Yup.

I guess you can't see a principled person even when you see him.

[Quilla]

And this former dictator appeared pleased with the image:

[TopQuark]

when you see him => when you are looking at him, of course.

[philosofy123]

England laughs at us - we love England! France - Forget about it!

[Porterville]

Good thing Nazi-liberals are pu$$ies.

[cinFLA]

I guess you can attack me but not my post. Seems you are lacking in principles...

[Wisard]

I like your way of thinking. Although I think that by the Conservative not getting out to vote , it allows the Liberals to have effectively 2 votes. Liberals have a slanted View that allows them to see that "those others can't be trusted to govern themselves", So we will make rules "THEY" need to live by. We as Liberals don't need to be ruled by the same rules. We are more equal than "THEM".

One small play out of thousands written and produced every year in Britain. Who really cares? No-one has to go and see it - probably few will. This has nothing to do with a British-American divide. It's about the International Left's dislike of patriotic Right Wing leaders. The US produces far worse anti-American propaganda than this.

[7.62 x 51mm]

Your 100% spot on. Once they have a similar massacre to 9-11, they won't be singing and laughing quite so enthusiastically.

But I'll bet you they blame us and President Bush for what happens. After all, we egged-on the murderous Muslim trash.

These people will be carrying a coating of slime on them when leaving this "theatre" that they did not have when entering. For some this will be yet another coating of multi-layered ooze in a irreversible process. For others, not so far gone and who can be redeemed, the slime will be felt as inherently uncomfortable. And instinctively they will want to wash it off. It is a felt sin to jeer and jape at the suffering of others. The "laughter" on such occasions is not long at all in bringing a feeling of uneasiness and, yes, lasting shame upon most of those doing it.

FROM THE KORAN ITSELF...
"HEIL HITLER" Now Upgraded to "ALLAH AKBAR?"

You may already know about this one: O ye who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians for friends. [al-Ma'idah 5:51.11]

But did you know that there are 123 verses in the Quran concerning fighting and killing for the cause of Allah? Here are but a few passages:

-Muslims are encouraged to be wholly occupied (Sura 2:273) with fighting for Allah's cause.

- Allah will give "a far richer recompense to those who fight for him" (Sura 4:96).

- Regarding infidels (unbelievers), they are the Muslim's "inveterate enemies" (Sura 4:101). Muslims are to "arrest them, besiege them and lie in ambush everywhere" (Sura 9:5) for them. They are to "seize them and put them to death wherever you find them, kill them wherever you find them, seek out the enemies of Islam relentlessly" (Sura 4:90). "Fight them until Islam reigns supreme" (Sura 2:193). "Cut off their heads, and cut off the tips of their fingers" (Sura 8:12).

- If a Muslim does not go to war, Allah will kill him (Sura 9:39). He is to be told, "the heat of war is fierce, but more fierce is the heat of Hell-fire" (Sura 9:81).

- A Muslim must "fight for the cause of Allah with the devotion due to him" (Sura 22:78)

- Muslims must make war on the infidels (unbelievers) who live around them (Sura 9:123).

- Muslims are to be "ruthless to unbelievers" (Sura 48:29).

- A Muslim should "enjoy the good things" he has gained by fighting (Sura 8:69).

- A Muslim can kill any person he wishes if it be a "just cause" (Sura 6:152).

- Allah loves those who "fight for his cause" (Sura 61:3).
Anyone who fights against Allah or renounces Islam in favor of another religion shall be "put to death or crucified or have their hands and feet cut off alternative sides" (Sura 5:34).

- Whoever changes his Islamic religion, kill him. Sahih Al-Bukhari (9:57)

- Slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush. (Koran 9:5)

- Take him and fetter him and expose him to hell fire. (Koran 69:30-37)

- I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers, Smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger tips of them. (Koran 8:12)

- They should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides. (Koran 5:33)

- Know that paradise is under the shades of swords. Sahih al-Bukhari Vol 4 p55

And Speaking of Paradise...

"There will be "gushing fountains" and everyone "shall recline on jeweled couches face to face, and there shall wait on them immortal youths with bowls and ewers and a cup of purest wine." Suras (or chapters) 55 and 56 of the Quran.

"Therein are bashful virgins whom neither man nor jinnee will have touched before ... virgins as fair as corals and rubies," sura 55. A few lines later, you might remind them of "virgins chaste and fair ... they shall recline on green cushions and fine carpets."

"The smallest reward for the people of Paradise is an abode where there are 80,000 servants and 72 wives, over which stands a dome decorated with pearls, aquamarine, and ruby, as wide as the distance from Al-Jabiyyah [a Damascus suburb] to Sana'a.'"

It will be the day, God willing, you spend with the women of paradise...Know that the gardens of paradise are waiting for you in all their beauty, and the women of paradise are waiting, calling out, "Come hither, friend of God."

A principled stance! I too have known the sadness of losing cherished friends over this. I have corresponded with a British journalist about his sorrow at losing virtually all his friends and being regarded by the last loyal few as mad.

People in Europe are often so consumed with hatred. How can those who consider themselves compassionate contemplate the spectacle of people being burned to death by 3000-degree jet fuel and laugh? How can they sneer at the deaths of three thousand innocents? The self-regarding shallowness staggers me. This is the mindset that tolerated the Holocaust.
