The Brits Must have Pissed Off The Islamists Today

Post by Reub »

I know it's always our fault (our being civilized people) but that group of people who will go nameless (as Obama-types like to call them) just beheaded a British soldier with a machete in London. I'm sure that he did something wrong and does not indicate a bigger trend of any kind. After all, all religions have their terrorists.

It's comforting to me that, according to the news report, police shot those pieces of shit at the scene.

I thought their police didn't carry guns in England...

Some of them do.  It took them 20 (that's TWENTY) minutes to get there.

Are we sure that it wasn't workplace violence or that a Youtube video didn't cause it?

I read that there were a couple of unarmed (stick and whistle) cops who witnessed the attack but hung back and waited for armed back up.

My history is poor, but Britain hasn't really had an empire or invaded anyone for awhile has it?

I assume the motivation to strike where they did was a lot simpler and had to do with the fact that the perps lived in the UK to begin with.

agreed regards location.

I speculate that: Motivation = Islam

evidence:
-use of the traditional Muslim method to kill victims
-screams of "Allah Akbar"

That's probably a pretty safe conclusion regarding motivation, similar to observing that a person is likely a Dallas Cowboys fan if he is wearing a Dallas Cowboys t-shirt and screaming "GOOOOOOOOOOO COWWWWWWWBOYYYYSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!"

Explain yes, justify no. I will offer a quote from a blogging friend with whom I often disagree, but I think he nailed this one.
I am not sure what else is to be expected when the West invades barbarian lands and then invites the barbarians here. Cameron is a pathetic sissy calling this "terror-related." No, Prime Minister, it's far worse than anything you and the rest of the Cathedral's blank slate adherents can imagine. It's just the sort of thing that barbaric primitives in thrall to a hostile creed are going to do when placed in an unarmed, passive society. The immigrants are what they are; they do not belong and never should have been invited. If there's to be outrage, it should be directed to the people who dream up these awful social engineering schemes.

The bobbies on foot patrol generally don't, but others do... and how!  Back before 9/11, I was on a train from London to the Midlands one night when our train made an unscheduled stop at a station not on our itinerary.  German Shepherds were pacing the platform, and next thing I knew a cop wearing body armor and carrying a military-style assault weapon came walking down the aisle! 

The train was sparsely populated, so I looked at the cop with a raised eyebrow in concern. 

"Evening sir" was all he said as he passed me by.  A few minutes later we were on our way again.  I never did find out what that was all about!  :o

1. I read the below earlier today and though it harsh/did not agree with her, but you make her point for her:

MICHELLE MALKIN: British progressives "brought it on themselves in some ways because of lax deportation policies and an unwillingness to screen out and profile Islamic militants who are now doing this in a homegrown manner."

2.  The terrorists were in their 20s: perhaps the islamic equivalent of Obamas bomb throwing friends and the occupy wall street gang (and you? meaning perhaps you are an angry young man or were recently) with the addition that they have the moral values  that beheading people was OK.

3. I passed through Schipol airport (amsterdam) over 15 years ago and still remember officers carrying oozis(sp?) machine pistols of some sort.  I'll bet people try less shit in their presence.

4. And I really should say more about your basic point about Britain "invading" etc but don't have time for that now.

It's been a long time since I was a young man. But I vaguely recall that back in those days I was a fierce neo-con. Ah the folly of misguided youth... mea culp mea culp mea maxima culpa.

Just as in Boston, the Islamic terrorists were known to the authorities. And they still were not stopped. We certainly need to do a better job of dealing with these animals when they become known to us.

Speaking of cognitive dissonance, I wonder if the Al-Shabaab twitter person (twit?) understands that the Brits (and Americans) AREN'T killing all of their women and children.  Other Muslims are.  Wait, the other Muslims... Al-Shabaab!  Now I see...

Yes, in the airport. They still carry Uzis. But not on the streets. And this soldier wasn't attacked in an airport...

These guys were on the radar of MI5, so i don't kow what to make of "an unwillingness to screen out and profile Islamic militants who are now doing this in a homegrown manner".

I did not see these guys walk around with any "we're the 99%" signs, so where does Occupy even enter the picture here? Except that occupy was infiltrated and under close scrutiny of MI5's equivalent here? Can't remember any slayings perpetrated by Occupy either.

Luckily for the people around they were only after police and soldiers.

Those guns were probably not loaded.  Remember after 9/11 and all the U.S. airports had National Guardsmen brandishing assault weapons at the security checkpoints?  Yeah, those weren't loaded either.
