My instincts were proved correct when I ranted against a commentary writer for The Guardian last July. The writer, one Mr. Aslam, was revealed (by blogger Scott Burgess) to be a member of Hizb Ut Tahrir, "an Islamist organization which calls for the destruction of Israel and the rule of a world-wide caliphate."
The terror-loving Aslam, along with an editor, were fired by The Guardian. I'm surprised, since the paper (al-Qaeda's PR office for the UK), pays the bills through promoting terrorism while condemning the USA.
The whole affair has become known as "Sassygate." I wish I'd discovered this before today. Still, I feel a little better about the world knowing I'm not the only one who thinks rousting terrorists from Fallujah does not justify blowing up innocent people commuting to work in London.
I'm also glad to hear that some Brits, Mayor Livingstone not included, were angry about the bombings, and decided to blame those responsible, as opposed to blaming the foreign policies of Blair and Bush.
The story that cost Aslam his job appeared shortly after the London Massacre in July 2005, where -- get this -- Muslims blew up some ordinary folks going about their ordinary lives. He said essentially, that the Iraq War, and Fallujah in particular, justified acts of terror on London's mass transit systems.
Piece of dung.
I said in my July post about Aslam: "If Mr. Aslam thinks, as I believe he's implying, that the London massacre was justified by Fallujah, he is terribly misguided."
I discovered Sassygate at Honest Reporting.
