British Muslim whackjobs

British newspaper The Guardian is showing its dislike of Western society by publishing the Muslim response to proposed new anti-terror legislation in Britain. I’m torn between laughter and anger. These people just do not get it. Best case scenario: Western society is not compatible with their worldview. (via LGF)

I excerpted portions of the Muslim statement below. I included my commentary because I know you’re dying to see what I think.

---

1… The term "extremism", frequently used in the public discourse about religion and terrorism, has no tangible legal meaning or definition and is thus unhelpful and emotive. To equate "extremism" with the aspirations of Muslims for Sharia laws in the Muslim world or the desire to see unification towards a Caliphate in the Muslim lands, as seemed to be misrepresented by the prime minister, is inaccurate and disingenuous. It indicates ignorance of what the Sharia is and what a Caliphate is and will alienate and victimise the Muslim community unnecessarily.

---

Squabbling about definitions of extremism won't solve any problems. As for the "caliphate", keep dreaming. We Westerners raise eyebrows at Sharia and openly ridicule the “caliphate” because we possess knowledge of them. The "caliphate" in particular is a diseased idea that will never again appear on earth. Muslim extremists have guaranteed this.

---

2… However, the right of people anywhere in the world to resist invasion and occupation is legitimate. Therefore the proposal to criminalise "justification" or "validation" of such self defence appears to be intended to stifle discussion about, and support for, such resistance.

---

I heard a lot of discussion about occupations last year at the annual meeting of the Muslim Public Affairs Council in Long Beach, California. This convention featured teen-aged girls, presumably Muslim, walking around in shirts sporting the dictionary definition of "occupation", while their parents discussed the legitimacy of resisting an occupation. Interestingly, these girls would probably be murdered or gang-raped by their male relatives -- with the support of Sharia -- if they had a close encounter with a man prior to marriage.

Why would Muslims in the USA and Britain be against the war and occupation of Iraq when Iraqis are not? Did they miss wall-to-wall coverage of the Iraqi vote? Did they prefer a Saddam Hussein? Using WMDs against a civilian population tends to leave a bad taste in the mouths of most people. Apparently not all. Or is it okay for Muslims to brutally oppress Muslims? I don't recall the entire leadership among British Muslims calling for an end to the Iraqi government under Hussein.

I have neither the ability nor the inclination to understand such a mindset.

---

3… It is natural for Muslims to feel sympathy with fellow Muslims elsewhere in the world and to desire justice for those of them living under oppression.

---

Did the British Muslim leadership feel "sympathy with fellow Muslims" in Iraq under Saddam Hussein? It's a yes or no question, black or white. More than 70 mass graves in 24 years… Two people tied together so a single bullet would kill both...

I don’t know about Palestine-Israel. Two things are becoming clear: 1) The winners of WWII may have made a mistake in creating the nation of Israel. What did the planners think was going to happen? How would I feel if the United Nations, or a Muslim nation, carved out a fully independent country for Native Americans on USA territory? 2) It doesn’t matter the conditions Palestinians live under; there is no justification for terrorism. That stuttering fuck Arafat, pioneer of modern terrorism, hurt the Palestinians more than 100 Israels ever could.

4…Any disagreement with a political organisation must be expressed through debate not censorship.

---

There are times when an organization, a club, a political party, or an entire ideology is so vile that it should be exterminated like termites in a suburban home. The Nazi party is one example.

---

5… The same reasoning applies to the proposal to close mosques if they are arbitrarily defined as being "extremist" or to try and politically influence what may or may not be said during a religious talk.

---

“Arbitrarily” is the fulcrum here. On Los Angeles television, thousands of miles away from London, we have seen the footage of Muslim extremists frothing at the mouth in front of London mosques -- calling for jihad and the overthrow of the government. It’s almost unfathomable that British Muslims now cobble together such complaints. Sitting quietly in Orange County, California, I expect to hear booming laughter coming all the way from 10 Downing Street. I would be alarmed if I didn't hear it.

---

6… The proposal to deport and/or extradite foreign nationals to countries known for gross human rights abuses is abhorrent to a civilised nation, irrelevant of whether or not a diplomatic assurance that deportees will not be mistreated is obtained. …such an exploitation of the events to move against foreign nationals as well as unwanted asylum seekers is indeed shameful.

---

Get used to it, fools. It is 1000 percent more abhorrent for foreign nationals to enter Britain and then kill innocents. People who do not believe in freedom or democracy may not use democratic freedoms to keep their bloodthirsty fanatical friends around. Say goodbye to them now. Londonistan has awakened, thanks to Muslim extremists. Sooner or later Muslims will spot the pattern: horrendous atrocities at the hands of Muslim extremists, followed by a tightening of restrictions and rising discontent within the general public. Are you following me? This is not that hard.

“Shameful” was used in item No. 6. Shameful? What is more shameful, playing games with law to remove malevolent killers desiring a diseased caliphate and the overthrow of the British government, the fact that legal games must be played at all, or the fact that Muslim extremists are blowing up innocents?

That anyone could consider the removal of such a cancer from society shameful, and yet not be shamed by the acts of their own brothers on 7/7 and 7/21 – is both disgusting and infuriating.

I am still waiting patiently for the moderate Muslim community to begin talking sense and cease complaining about restrictions following atrocities committed in the name of Allah.
