World press condemns Woolwich killing
BBC News ^ | 24th May 2013 | BBC News

Posted on 05/24/2013 1:27:06 PM PDT by the scotsman

'The killing of a British soldier by two Islamist extremists in London is condemned by commentators across the world.

Newspapers in the Middle East describe the attack as an ugly act of violence committed by "imbeciles" who were giving Islam a bad name.

Although the crime is denounced by analysts in China, they say that the UK turned itself into a target of revenge by actively supporting US-led military actions abroad.

Opinion is divided in the Russian press, with one paper saying that the Woolwich attack was the inevitable result of "filling" the country with foreigners, while another warns that nationalists could use such incidents to stir xenophobia and win seats in parliament.'

Well sure they condemn it. It’s just that they can’t quite figure out why these things happen, that still gets them a guilty verdict.

Boston, Ft Hood, 9/11, and endless others have already happened. This one is a small blip compared to most Islamic atrocities around the world on a daily basis.

Giving Islam a bad name???
That’s like national socialism giving Hitler a bad name.

Stop with this crap about extremist and giving islam a bad name. That is is exactl what islam is all about. How many thousands of times does this have to happen before idiots in the West stop downplaying it with the extremist tab.

And then there were the unreported Islamic heathen riots in London that resembled a weekend in Chicago.

11 The angel of the Lord also said to her:
“You are now pregnant
and you will give birth to a son.
You shall name him Ishmael,
for the Lord has heard of your misery.
12 He will be a wild donkey of a man;
his hand will be against everyone
and everyone’s hand against him,
and he will live in hostility
toward all his brothers
.” Genesis 16:11-12

Ooooh! Now they will stop!

If not, maybe they'll be commented to death.

It seemed like the Rooskie Press pretty much 'got it':

Opinion is divided in the Russian press, with one paper saying that the Woolwich attack was the inevitable result of "filling" the country with foreigners, while another warns that nationalists could use such incidents to stir xenophobia and win seats in parliament.'

When you fill your Nation with those that have no desire to become part of the existing culture, nor to learn that Nation's history, but just want to treat that Nation as a temporary way station (or as conquered territory) as they remain rooted in their old land - you are asking for trouble. And multiply that by a thousand if these interlopers/invaders happen to be of the Islamic persuasion.

Perhaps nearly as offensive as the murder was the fact that people just stood and watched, and took pictures, and video of the killer’s speech.

The mau mau, covered in blood should serve as a wakeup call for America. We’re amassing more than a mere gaggle of mudslimes. Every city sprouts a minaret and a ‘cultural’ center or two.

It does seem as though these Africans are more easily converted to islam. Our prison system is a ‘mecca’ for imam recruiters.
