Actions and Reactions, Islamophobia, Moral Equivalence, Double Standards

Terror is Terror is... Hold On  (23 June 2017)

"Following the heinous attack on Muslim worshippers in Finsbury Park, London, I'm confused by the use of the words 'terror' and 'terrorism' ... There is a legal definition of terrorism in the Terrorism Act 2000 and its provisions and subsequent amendment. So let's look a the relevant parts of the Act..."

What 'Caused' the Finsbury Park Attack?  (22 June 2017)

"Was it somehow the Mail and the Sun?  No.  This is what caused Finsbury Park:... No Muslim terrorism... no 'blowback'... and who helped 'radicalise' Muslims and thus in turn 'radicalised' the Finsbury Park terrorist? The BBC and Guardian. Blood on their hands. This is not 'rhetoric', this is not an inappropriate tone, this is not Islamophobia... this is death, this is terrorism, this is the b***** reality not some cheap point scoring by some smart-a*** p*** at the Guardian. Why is he angry at the Mail and the Sun and not this? The Guardian and BBC make excuses for the killers but condemn these newspapers? There is something very, very wrong with the people at those two organisations..."

The 'Hate Preacher' Hypocrisy  (22 June 2017)

"Well this is interesting. I had got used to the standard response to terror. I had thought that when 22 young people get blown up by a suicide bomber in Manchester we were meant to say that it made 'no sense', that it 'wouldn't change us' and that 'love' must overcome 'hate'. I thought that when a crowd of people get run over and a policeman stabbed to death we were meant to say 'We may ever know' what caused such an outrage..."

Terrorism: When Truth Disappears  (21 June 2017)

"With yet more terrorism - this time in Brussels, Paris and London - we have to once again state basic truths. Never mind that I have made these points many dozens of times now - they need to keep being made, as long as the mainstream media refuses to impartially and accurately cover the news. The reason why this is all the more urgent now is that one of the three latest terror attacks was not done by a devout Muslim, but by someone worried about Islam..."

The Mainstreaming of the Terror Prejudice  (21 June 2017)

"There are many disturbing things about the Finsbury Park Mosque attack. The most disturbing, of course, is the thing itself. This was a grotesque assault in our fellow [sic] citizens and on freedom of religion. ... But there's another disturbing thing and one that deserves far more interrogation: the media response to the attack and its confirmation of a coming-together of the Islamist [sic] and so-called liberal outlooks, of a fusing of lslamist [sic] and leftist contempt for the demos..."

Moral Equivalence Wafts Through the Air  (20 June 2017)

"The public reaction to the Finsbury Park incident reminds me of Russia, circa 1903. Now historical parallels are never quite exact, but they may be useful for illustrative purposes. This one certainly is. In that year a wave of 600 anti-Jewish pogroms swept the Pale of Settlement ... Thousands of houses looted, thousands of people beaten up, thousands of women raped..."

Muslim Labour MP Calls for Ban on 'Right Wing Extremist Marches' After Finsbury Attack  (20 June 2017)

"Labour MP Rushanara Ali has called for marches by extremist groups be banned - but only singled out right wing demonstrators in her call for legislation ... Despite saying she rejects extremist marches, Ali did not mention the anti-Israel al-Quds Day march which occurred over the weekend in which marchers brandished the flags of Hezbollah, considered a terrorist organisation in much of the world..."

Islamic State Supporters Urge Revenge Attacks After Finsbury Park  (20 June 2017)

"Supporters of Islamic State are calling for Muslims to rise up and conduct revenge [EMcD: classic Islamic projection] attacks on Christians and Jews after a white-British man targeted Muslims in the Finsbury Park terror attack..."

Action and Reaction  (19 June 2017)

"On Sunday at midnight, a non-Muslim drove a vehicle into a crowd of Muslims leaving the Finsbury Park Mosque in what appears to be an attempt to re-enact the London Bridge attack: same time (late at night), same weapon (white van), but this time targeting nocturnal believers rather than nocturnal hedonists. It is not perfectly symmetrical: Mayor Sadiq Khan is apparently being more circumspect about issuing his usual reassurance that being run over by white van is just a part of daily life in a great 'global city'..."

Theresa May Vows to Stamp Out 'Islamophobia'  (19 June 2017)

"A non-Muslim who reportedly declared that he wanted to 'kill all Muslims' plowed into a crowd at the notorious jihad terror-tied Finsbury Park Mosque. Any attack on any innocent people is reprehensible and to be condemned, and this one is no different. It does, however, present a tremendous opportunity to the British political and media establishment. They have declared that 'far-right extremism' is just as much of a threat as jihad terror, but they haven't had any 'far-right extremism' to validate their narrative aside from an occasional strip of bacon at a mosque [EMcD: Kevin Crehan was jailed for this supposed 'crime' and died in suspicious circumstances whilst in prison] - only highlighting how hysterical this narrative is as the casualties of Islamic jihad attacks continue to mount..."

BBC Target Kids with Fake 'Islam Means Peace' Claim Following Finsbury Park Attack  (19 June 2017)

The BBC has published a story entitled 'What is Islamophobia?' containing misleading information such as the common trope that 'Islam means peace'. Published just hours after the terrorist attack outside Finsbury Mosque, the BBC's article is hosted on their CBBC (Children's BBC) website..."

Finsbury Park Attack: We Need a Consistent Response to Terror  (19 June 2017)

"So it seems that it has happened again. A third terrorist attack in as many months on London's streets. Once again using a vehicle. Once again aimed at Londoners. Except that this time it seems the terrorist himself is not a follower of Isis. Indeed, reports suggest that the attacker may have been a non-Muslim deliberately targeting Muslims..."

Finsbury Park a 'Terror Attack' but Westminster, Manchester, London Bridge 'Incidents'  (19 June 2017)

Diane Abbott on Finsbury: "Shocking terror attack outside Finsbury Park Mosque. Thoughts & prayers with friends & families of the victims" and "Terror attack outside Finsbury Park Mosque. Police must urgently review security for all mosques";  Diane Abbott on London Bridge and Borough Market: "My thoughts are with all those affected by the incidents in London tonight" and "Emerging news of frightening incidents tonight: London Bridge, Borough Market & Vauxhall. Once again we owe so much to the emergency services";  Diane Abbott on Manchester: "My thoughts go out to all those affected by the horrific incident in Manchester. Our emergency services have acted swiftly and bravely";  Diane Abbott on Westminster: "Westminster terror attack triggers anti-immigrant rhetoric. But the attacker was actually British born."

A Taste of Their Own Medicine  (19 June 2017)

"[T]he Muslim Council of Britain described the incident as 'the most violent manifestation' yet of Islamophobia. That offended my sense of fairness. Haven't we already learned that suicide bombers or van drivers manifest nothing but their their own madness? Aren't they all alienated, cannabis-addled loners pursuing no ideological or religious objective? Therefore this van driver is entitled to the same consideration. ... White people are a race of peace and they can't all be tarred with the same Islamophobic brush. I mean, fair's fair. Not everyone sees it that way..."

Van Attack at Finsbury Park Mosque  (19 June 2017)

"[It was said] yesterday that despite the attacks perpetrated by Jihadists on British and Israeli citizens WE are not driving vehicles into groups of Muslims, or attacking them with knives. However just that happened last night ... We must pray for the recovery of the injured, and the relatives of the man who died, whether or not it was a result of the attack. Two wrongs do not make a right, and tit for tat didn't go down well in the playground and isn't right in adult life either. But neither should political capital be made of it to bolster claims and allegations of Islamophobia. The Muslim community should learn from Manchester and set a vigil of candles and teddy bears..."

Dhimmis, Appeasers, Quislings, Virtue-Signallers

May Plays Her Part in the Strange Death of Free Speech in Europe  (23 June 2017)

"Mrs May is now a dhimmi; she will defend Islam from Islamophobia; not Jews from anti-Semitism, or Christians from Islamic persecution, or Britain from slow suicide, or Europe from its strange death. Then, a mentally unstable drunken unschooled Welshman from a deprived background (isn't it strange how the media did not blame poverty of education or lack of opportunity!) drives a van into worshippers outside Finsbury Park Mosque and Mrs May comes back to life. Islamophobia is a form of extremism, she tells the nation!..."

Free Speech Under Fire After Finsbury  (21 June 2017)

"So, after the arrest of Darren Osborne, ... the police have now made a second arrest. For what, you may ask?  After all, the police said they believed Osborne acted alone. Have they now found he had an accomplice, someone who helped organise the attack, or played a role in radicalising/lobotomising Osborne? Not exactly.  37-year-old Richard Evans, the second man to be arrested in relation to the attack, did have a familial connection to events on Sunday..."

Incitement is Incitement is Incitement  (19 June 2017)

"If you have joined 'The State' in hounding Tommy Robinson for inciting violence against the Muslims, you should wash your mouth out with soap immediately.

"Massoud Shadjareh is the chairman of the so-called Islamic Human Rights Commission which has been accused of supporting Hezbollah terrorists and organised the anti-Semitic al-Quds day in London this weekend, where many Hezbollah terror flags were flown. Mr Shadjareh has also criticised the prosecution and deportation of Finsbury Park Mosque's most famous preacher, Abu Hamza al-Masri, the virulently pro-jihad, anti-Western, militant who praised the 9/11 attacks..."

An Infestation of Squirrels?  (21 June 2017)

"I've been thinking long and hard about writing this article, but concluded that it is sadly needful. It isn't about the 'terrorist attack' on the Finsbury Mosque, it's about how the MSM have gone full-on 'appease and submit' - and never mind the facts. It's about how they, our government, our luvvies on Twitter have created a 'narrative'. That narrative (how I loathe that expression!) has to be maintained at all cost..."

"Have a quick look at page 15 of Today's Times. What have we got? 'Google hosts far-right videos urging Islamophobic violence.'  I haven't seen any of those, but they do sound mighty offensive and Google should take them down sharpish. In the middle of that article, there's a highlighted column headed 'Complaints about ITV show.'  Apparently ITV has received 72 virgins complaints about 'far-right activist' Tommy Robinson. He shouldn't have been allowed on ITV at all, they say..."

Defining Terrorism  (20 June 2017)

"The mainstream media have brought the debate down to a matter of semantics. they spend hours dancing on the head of a pin over what is and isn't 'terrorism' and explaining that criticising Islam amounts to calling all Muslims terrorists. Tactically, they leave themselves with little choice other than to construct a giant haystack from a pile of straw men..."

'Can't Tell the Difference Between the Fire and the Firefighters'  (19 June 2017)

"Who radicalised the Finsbury Park attacker? That's the big question ... or perhaps no-one, perhaps he was just sick and tired of seeing Muslims attacking British people on the streets of Britain, sick and tired of Muslims attacking his culture, his beliefs, his society and his women... and he snapped and decided his answer was a terrorist attack on random Muslims in the street. He self-radicalised due to the actions of Muslims who want to impose Islam upon him by violence. The BBC's Nihal as usual is balanced and impartial..."

Identity Politics  (19 June 2017)

"Maybe I'm going soft but sometimes think that I might be being too quick to criticise the BBC when they refuse to report eye-witness claims that a terrorist shouted 'Allah Akbar' as he launched his attack... maybe the BBC is being diligent and responsible... checking the facts and getting the story 100% right. If that thought ever crosses my mind again I will just have to remind myself about today and how the the BBC reported the attack in Finsbury Park..."

Piers Morgan 'Interviews' Tommy Robinson

When Truth Disappears

The following is an extended extract from the article: Terrorism: When Truth Disappears

"You know the drill by now: every idiotic excuse in the book is made for Muslim terrorists. It has become such a standard and routine response of Western leaders, commentators and 'experts' that we do not need to wait for any new information.

"The formula runs like this: A Muslim kills in the name of his faith, or political ideology, making it 100% clear what his motivation is, what his religion is, and what his beef is, and the West offers us this:

• he was mentally ill;
• he was a lone wolf;
• he must have had some real serious grievances to act like this;
• we cannot tar all of Islam with this one attack;
• we must remind people that Christians are terrorists too;
• we must insist that you have more chances of getting killed by a wayward emu than a Muslim terrorist;
• we must repeat the mantra that Islam is a religion of peace;
• we must come to accept all this as the new normal;
• we must accept that this is the way life now is in the West;
• we must insist that the real worry is any backlash against Muslims;
• we must do more to protect Muslims;
• we must resist all this racism;
• we must assure all Muslims that we fully stand with them no matter what;
• we must stop alienating and offending Muslims;
• we must above all guard against Islamophobia;
• we must remember the appropriate response: more hashtags, candle-lit vigils, 'peace' marches and love-ins;
• we will need more pop concerts with young pop stars gyrating in front of smitten 13-year-old girls;
• we will hire yet more Muslim policemen, firemen, politicians, military leaders, lecturers, and news readers in the West to combat all this ugly Islamophobia;
• we will immediately attack and condemn anyone who dares to say we might have a problem with the political ideology of Islam.

"Now just change a few words and see how all this goes down with the Finsbury Park attacker:

• he was mentally ill;
• he was a lone wolf;
• he must have had some real serious grievances to act like this;
• we cannot tar all of conservatism with this one attack;
• we must remind people that Muslims are terrorists too;
• we must insist that you have more chances of getting killed by a wayward emu than a right wing terrorist...

"Exact same response, but to a different attacker. Now unless I have missed something here, I have never once heard any of these excuses and justifications for the non-Muslim attacker. Not one. Never. Why is that? Why do we have a broken record when it come to clear-cut cases of Islamic terrorism and jihad, but the whole world goes nuts when one non-Muslim does something similar?"

The Curse of Cain

"After Cain killed his brother, the Lord told him, ... 'Cursed shall you be from the earth', ... and so it has been. The earth under their feet may be cursed, it yields nothing but sand and thistles, ... They become worshippers of death dreaming of the green verdant fields of paradise which they can reach only if they kill enough men, women and children. Leaving devastation behind them, dead lands, lost cultures, widows and orphans, they claw their way up to heaven on a ladder of bones. Everything around them dies until the only green is on their flags. They are cursed from the earth and they curse the earth. Where they go, the world dies. ... Cain sows fields of corpses of the innocent for the Lord and he still does not understand why his sacrifice is not accepted and why the earth he dwells on is cursed. ...  From Iraq to Iran, from Kuwait to Saudi Arabia, from Nigeria to Somalia, from Pakistan to Indonesia, he holds up human heads and cries 'Allahu Akbar'. ... There is no room for Cain anywhere. Where he remains there will be death and suffering. He will kill because it is all he can do. He has nothing else to offer the world, his own kind, or the Creator.. ... He kills from one end of the world to the next and it is never his fault. Each time, each Abel did it. ... His code is cruelty and his holy book is written in blood on the flayed skins of his murdered victims. ... The cries of peoples long vanished from the earth warn us that we will either drive out Cain or his curse will fill our lands with blood and dust and all that we love and all that we have worked for will die at his cursed touch" [source].

The Burden Which Habakkuk the Prophet Saw

The righteous cry out for God's punishment of the injustice in their lands:
O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save!
Why dost thou show me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? for spoiling and violence are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention.
Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.

The LORD God answers:
Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.
For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwelling places that are not theirs.
They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves.
Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves:
And their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the eagle that hasteth to eat.
They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand.
And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn unto them: they shall deride every strong hold; for they shall heap dust, and take it.
Then shall his mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend, imputing this his power unto his god.

The dismay of the righteous at God's answer:   
Art thou not from everlasting, O LORD my God, mine Holy One? we shall not die.
O LORD, thou hast ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, thou hast established them for correction.
Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity:
Wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?
They take up all of them with the angle, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag: therefore they rejoice and are glad.
Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, and burn incense unto their drag; because by them their portion is fat, and their meat plenteous.
Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare continually to slay the nations?
I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.

The LORD God's reassurance to the righteous:
And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.

[Habakkuk 1:1-2:4]
