London bombed by Muslims, again

London was hit again today. Does anyone want to bet that the new transit attacks were not carried out by Muslims? If not, why? Answer it for yourself, not this damned blog.

Today’s attack will give British Muslims another chance to tell everyone how much they dislike bombings, and to write a few more condolence letters.

The following list of Muslim terrorism is partial. My use of “Muslims” rather than “Muslim extremists” or “Islamofascists” is deliberate because there is circumstantial evidence suggesting the majority of Muslims support such terrorist actions. The evidence includes the popularity of Osama bin Laden t-shirts on the Muslim street, and the joy Muslims feel after many major attacks (parades and cheering crowds in Muslim cities worldwide).

I would love to be dead wrong about this. If the Muslim community helps stamp out the problem within their ranks (in earnest), rather than talk about the need for more tolerance, I'll print a full, honest apology.

Note: Find a wallet card version of the list below. When you hear someone blame these masscres on Bush, hand them the card and ask, "Why do you feel that way?"

Sept. 5, 1972: Muslims killed 11 unarmed civilians at the Munich Olympics.

Oct. 23, 1983: Muslims blew up U.S. military barracks in Beirut, Lebanon, killing 241 and injuring 81. On the same day, Muslims blew up a building housing French peacekeepers, killing 59 and injuring 15.

Oct. 7, 1985: Muslims hijacked cruise ship Achille Lauro, kidnapping 511 people. One U.S. citizen, a man in a wheel chair, was drown after being wheeled overboard.

April 5, 1986: Muslims bombed a disco in Berlin, killing three and injuring 196.

Dec. 23, 1988: Muslims blew up Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, killing 270 and injuring 12.

Feb. 26, 1993: Muslims bombed the World Trade Center complex in New York City, killing six and injuring 1042.

July 25, 1995: Muslims bombed the Paris subway system, known as the Metro, near the Cathedral of Notre Dame. Seven people were killed, and 91 were injured.

June 25, 1996: Muslims bombed a U.S. military installation in Dahran, Saudi Arabia, killing 19 and injuring 502.

Aug. 7, 1998: Muslims bombed U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, Africa. The attack in Nairobi, Kenya killed 291 and injured 5000. The attack in Tanzania killed 10 and injured 77.

Oct. 12, 2000: Muslims bombed the U.S.S. Cole in Yemen, killing 17 and injuring 39.

Oct. 12, 2002: Muslims bombed an entertainment center near a beach in Bali, Indonesia, killing 202 and injuring 300. Indonesia was against the war in Iraq.

Sept. 1, 2004: Muslims took more than 1,000 children, teachers, and parents hostage at a school in Beslan, Russia. When the Muslim bombs exploded, prompting Russian troops to enter the school, 331 people died, and 727 were injured. Russia was against the war in Iraq.

To see the entire sordid mess, I urge you to visit the Terrorism Knowledge Base.

After all of the killings at the hands of Muslims, it should surprise nobody that the United States has gone on the offensive. There is only one way to stop U.S. aggression or “hegemony”, and that is to stop the bombings, kidnappings, and beheadings. Enough is enough. If after two sets of bombings the UK wishes to pull away from the offensive, as Spain did, so be it. The U.S. didn’t solicit allies in the offensive chapter in the war on terror because it needed to.

For a while I tolerated those who blamed Bush for worsening the Muslim terrorism problem. Now I say, “How dare you? How could you let your dislike of a sitting U.S. president -- one who feels that striking back is a good idea after more than 30 years of this madness -- cause you to utter such ridiculous nonsense?”

Among those who blame the London bombings on something other than the Muslims terrorists who carried them out:

Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone

Former Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Treasury, Paul Craig Roberts

Certain members of the Middle Eastern press

British Muslim “cleric,” Omar Bakri
