……..having nearly six hundred terror investigations taking place, in which the large majority are likely to involve members of your religion. This is the position with regards to Islam in the UK at the moment. Yet a number of Islam’s followers and those who appease and make excuses for Islam would have you believe that this is what characterises a ‘religion of peace’. After what other ‘religion of peace’ apart from Islam can beat the figures for freakishly large terror plot investigations or the massive death toll built up by Islam?
Those who say ‘nothing to do with Islam’ following the numerous incidences of Islamic violence will probably make numerous attempts to divert attention away from this figure and the ‘religion of peace’ behind it. The apologists will spin the news of the almost 600 terror plots by saying ‘don’t look there – look at the ‘Islamophobia’ instead’ or ‘but, but all extremism is a problem’. In these circumstances, it’s probably as well to remember two things. The first is that the ‘Islamophobia’ line gets trotted out, I would not bet against the bulk of the nearly six hundred investigations being focussed on the followers of Islam. They are highly unlikely to be focused on followers of the genuinely peaceful religious movements such as Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism etc.; these religions don’t encourage their followers to murder people, but Islam does.
According to an article published on September 5th in the Sheffield Star newspaper, the Metropolitan Police’s Deputy Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu has said that Britain has suffered a ‘summer like no other’ when it comes to terrorism. He also said that there’s been a ‘spike’ in the number of calls to anti-terrorist hotlines and that Britain’s Police are currently working on nearly 600 live terror investigations. Here’s the Sheffield Star article. As is usual policy for this blog, the original text from the Sheffield Star is in italics whereas this blog’s comments are in plain text.
The Sheffield Star said:
Police officers in the UK are working on nearly 600 live terror related investigations, it has been revealed.
Metropolitan Police deputy assistant commissioner Neil Basu said they followed ‘a summer like no other’ in which major attacks in Manchester and London left dozens of people dead and more than 200 injured.
The vast majority of these are Islamic attacks undertaken by Muslims with identifiable Islamic motives. This indisputable fact is something that DAC Basu appears reluctant to honestly and clearly name.
He said the attacks led to a ‘massive spike’ in the number of calls to the national terrorism hotline, trebling the number of leads.
It would be interesting to know whether the increase in the number of calls to the anti-terror hotline came from non-Muslims, who are more keyed up to notice suspicious behaviour and suspicious Muslims, or whether the uptick in call numbers is coming from the Islamic community. If it is the first, then this is relatively normal behaviour for people to be more aware of activity that may be connected to terror and to be more willing to report it. If on the other hand it’s calls coming from the Islamic community then of course we need to applaud that but we also need to ask ‘why didn’t they do this BEFORE the current round of terror atrocities?’ In addition it may be pertinent to ask just how much extremism has been tolerated and accepted by Briton’s Muslims, where nothing was said to the authorities? I hope the police will give a breakdown at some point on the anti terror hotline calls but I will not hold my breath waiting for them to do so. Although I concede, as any reasonable person should, that the vast majority of Muslims are peaceful, this peaceful majority is as the writer Brigitte Gabriel puts it, ‘irrelevant’. What matters is not the majority of peaceful members of a group, whether that be Muslims, Germans under Nazism and Soviet citizens under Stalinism who pose no threat, but the radicals. Sadly neither in Islam or the two 20th century authoritarian hells that I’ve mentioned above do ‘moderates’ have any power over the radicals. The average German non-Nazi for example had no chance against the Brown Shirts or Sturmabteilung who would kill or injure them and neither did the dissident under Stalin have any chance of fighting against the Chekists and the NKVD, who would either kill the dissident quickly with a bullet, or slowly in a labour camp. Muslim moderates, as laudable as they are, have no power over and stand no chance against the violent Islamic extremists nor the clerics that use a bad bit of theology, the Koran, to create numerous murderous monsters.
Security services currently have 3,000 open ‘subjects of interest’, while there are 20,000 previous subjects of interest, Mr Basu said, warning: “Those numbers are just going to keep increasing.” He said isolated communities, segregation and unregulated schooling in the UK are a ‘breeding ground’ for extremism and future jihadists.
Note the failure to say the word ‘Islam’ in DAC Basu’s statement. He has shimmied around the problem of using the word ‘Islam’ in connection with terrorism by using such euphemisms as ‘isolated communities’, ‘segregation’ and ‘unregulated schooling’. Islamic terrorism hasn’t come about because communities are isolated or choose to run their own schools, Islamic terrorism is here because of Islam and the Muslims who support such terrorism. As I have said before on here, there are other religious groups that self-segregate to a greater or lesser extent, groups such as the Haredi Jews and the Exclusive Brethren Christians but they are not a terrorist problem. Neither of these groups are engaged in the sort of terrorist support and in violent bestial behaviour, as we have seen coming from Britain’s Muslims. These groups often live in distinct communities, live their own lives and have their own schooling systems. But they are not killing people. It’s not the fact that some groups keep themselves to themselves that is the problem, the problem is Islam.
Mr Basu said there was a ‘definite problem’ of second-generation Britons becoming radicalised through the ‘very toxic combination’ of isolation and extremist online content.
Second generation what? Or rather second generations from what backgrounds I should say? It’s not second generation Polish-Britons is it? Neither is it the second, third and forth generation of Britain’s Jews. It ain’t second generation British Sikhs or Hindus or Buddhists causing these problems are they? Let’s face the facts that DAC Basu seems so fearful of speaking. This ‘second generation problem’ is primarily and almost exclusively an Islam problem. Isolation doesn’t breed terrorism and neither does being exposed to ‘extremist online content’. Isolation affects many people and many groups but it seems only those who are both Muslim and ‘isolated’ blow up children at pop concerts or slaughter late night revellers on London Bridge.
As for ‘extremist online content’, such things would have little or no power, unless they were saying things that can be found and confirmed in Islam’s foundational texts. Seeing ‘extremist content’ doesn’t make normal people suddenly want to go out and slaughter innocents but it makes the followers of Islam often want to do so. Is it because, all that this ‘extremist online content’ is doing, is backing up what is already there in Islamic theology?
It’s not isolation nor online encouragement that pushes British Muslims into committing atrocities, it is the ideology of Islam itself. Islam creates bad cultures and equally bad people. As I have said in the past both on here and elsewhere, the many decent Muslims I’ve met are decent not because of their theology and religious practises have made them so, but they are decent individuals in spite of Islam.
Addressing the Police Superintendents’ Association conference, he said fears that the fall of the Islamic State terror group in the Middle East would lead to a rise in attacks from overseas had been replaced by the danger posed by home-grown jihadists. “The threat was the traveller or the returning fighter, who was battle-hardened and even angrier, but now it’s the threat in our midst,” he said.
DAC Basu is all but admitting that the UK has a major problem with a violent and hostile fifth column made up of Muslims, but still he seems unable to name and identify the root cause of the current spate of violent attacks, which as we can all see has a name and that name is ‘Islam’.
“We stopped a lot of those would-be jihadists travelling too and some of those remain committed to their cause. If they can’t travel, then why not attack us here.
Yes, why didn’t anyone think of that earlier? A violent savage infected via Islam with a hatred for humanity is not suddenly going to become an angel, just because they are prevented from travelling to places like Syria, are they? Maybe the Government should have let these violent Syria-bound Islamic savages get to their destination but then never ever let them back into the UK again. That would have solved a few violent Islamic savage problems at least.
“There is also a definite problem in segregated and isolated communities and with what I think is an even more extreme second generation.”
Segregation and isolation whilst not being an ideal situation doesn’t in itself cause terrorism, as we can see from the examples of other non-Islamic communities that live quietly and keep themselves to themselves and don’t go out killing people. Also the ‘second generation’ problem is primarily an Islamic one, as has been pointed out before.
Mr Basu said disenfranchised groups were being radicalised by propaganda delivered in ‘six-second soundbites through their handheld devices 24/7’.
You cannot impart much information in a six second soundbite, at best you can confirm an already held belief. These soundbites may only be effective in driving individuals to commit acts of terror if these individuals have been previously primed to accept the sort of constant encouragement to violence that some of these soundbites may contain. The problem may not be the six second soundbites themselves, but the pump priming for violence and extremism which they may have been given. This has more than likely come from Britain’s mosques.
“Segregated and isolated communities, unregulated and home schooling are a breeding ground for extremism and future terrorism,” the officer said.
The issue of segregation, isolation and religious schooling are not the main problem, as we can see by looking at other groups that keep themselves to themselves. The breeding ground for Islamic terror is the Koran and Islamic theology itself. The culture of violence and fascistic supremacism is not coming from some bogeyman web server somewhere or from those who home school their children, this culture is coming from Islam.
As a result police find it very difficult to profile and identify any would-be attackers, as they come from a variety of backgrounds and are of all ages and genders, he said. “They have been the educated, they have been the illiterate and they have been the completely unknown,” Mr Basu added.
The use of the term ‘a variety of backgrounds’ by DAC Basu is an act of obfuscation at best, or at worst an outright lie. Although the beasts who commit the sort of terrorist atrocities that have afflicted the UK and elsewhere may hail from different national and ethnic backgrounds, there is a common link behind all of them and that link is Islam.
The ‘variety of backgrounds’ comment is worthless when we know that these atrocities, atrocities that are aimed at our nations and our children, are committed almost invariably by those who follow Islam. It matters not what the skin colour or national heritage of these violent savages is, it’s the Islamic headspace that is the problem. Contrary to what DAC Basu says, it is not ‘difficult to profile and identify’ those who are likely to be involved in Islamic terrorism, as the individuals who engage in such activities are invariably Muslims.
It is not nationalists, conservatives, Sikhs, Hindus or Jews who are committing acts of religio-political murder, it is the followers of Islam. We the people can see that Islam is the core of Britain’s current terrorism problems. This is not an ‘unknown’ problem, we all know and can see what the problem is, but officers like DAC Basu seem more reluctant than is sensible to say what that problem’s name is. I feel ashamed that Britons have, in such a senior rank in one of our major police forces, a man who appears so cowardly as to be reluctant to name the ideology that is currently holding a knife to our throats and which is likely to do for the forseeable future.
