Theresa May says ‘Islamist’ Westminster Attack ‘Not Islamic’
Breitbart ^ | 3/23/17 | Liam Deacon

Posted on 03/23/2017 10:24:33 AM PDT by Impala64ssa

The Prime Minister has said the “Islamist” attack on Parliament was not “Islamic” and Islam is a “great faith”.

Taking on the role of a theologian, Theresa May insisted: “It is wrong to describe this as Islamic terrorism. It is Islamist terrorism. It is a perversion of a great faith.”

Speaking in Parliament, she also said the attack showed “the importance of all of our faiths working together, and recognising the values that we share”.

Adding: “This act of terror was not an act of faith. It was a perversion; a warped ideology, which leads to an act of terrorism like that and it will not prevail.”

Islamism is generally defined as a political interpretation of Islam. Some critics argue Islam is intrinsically political – as the Quran mandates a religious state and law – and say the term is irrelevant.

MPs almost unanimously agreed with the Prime Minister, lining up to warn against “demonising” and “stigmatising” Muslims, and to condemn “Islamophobia” and “racial and religious” discrimination.

Khalid Mahmood, the Labour MP for Birmingham Perry Barr, said the attacker or attackers “pretend to be of a particular religion”.

“If they were of a religion they would not be carrying out acts like this,” he added.

Sorry but Britain has fundamentally changed. They went from Churchill to Lord Mayor Khan of London. NATO is an outmoded and outdated concept. A nationalist America that values its culture and heritage has little left in common with Western Europe

“Will not prevail”... WTF? You moron. It’s not only “prevailing”, it’s growing by leaps and bounds. London itself is now under a muzlim ruler, and how many “no go zones” and sharia courts have you got in that ever-increasing crap hole of a country you’re now in charge of?
Disgusting.

This comes to mind.

I saved you," cried the woman

"And you've bitten me, but why?

You know your bite is poisonous and now I'm going to die"

"Oh shut up, silly woman," said the reptile with a grin

"You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in

[Why is everybody in government in Europe so bloody stupid about Islam and its practitioners?]

Because they have all boxed themselves into a corner and none of them wants to make the next necessary move. That is to recognize they are slowly being conquered by a backward death cult and take the necessary steps to prevent it.

They simply cannot deal with the reality of what needs to be done.

She should just STFU.

Now we know England is done.

FDR “I condemn Nazism. Not Nazis. There are many fine Nazis. I had lunch with one the other day. Good guy. I had the Beef Wellington and he had the Sausage.”

Yes, her statement IS that absurd.

I’m sure many Nazis were nice to their kids.

Who gives a flying ####?

They were sick animals and so are these muzzies.

Whatever. It wasn’t a Christian, Jew, or Buddhist who did it. It was a Muslim. End of story.

The only thing islam is great at is murder.

That is not entirely fair. Do not deny them their great record on abusing women and boys.

People in the Arab world have been murdering one another for E V E RRRRRR!

It’s all they know-and except for the discovery of oil in their countries... they’d all still be living in tents
