A couple of days ago on the 22^nd of May was the anniversary of two horrific terrorist atrocities, carried out on British soil against Britons by the followers of Islam. These two atrocities, the murder of Lee Rigby and the Manchester Arena suicide bombing took place four years apart in different parts of the United Kingdom but had the same causes, primarily radical Islam and secondly a British state that has pandered to this ideology and failed to properly come down hard on radical Islam.

The first atrocity was the murder in 2013 of Fusilier Lee Rigby on a street in Woolwich, South East London by a pair of Nigerian heritage converts to Islam. Fusilier Rigby was brutally attacked and killed with knives and a meat cleaver by this duo of Islamic savages as he returned to his army base from his work assignment at the Tower of London.

After the murder the two Islamic savages, who I will not dignify by naming, stood around ranting about how they killed Fusilier Rigby in ‘revenge’ for British military actions overseas in ‘Muslim lands’ such as Iraq and Afghanistan. The first police on the scene were, as usual for Britain, unarmed apart from batons and CS gas spray and were no match for the terrorists who as well as being armed with knives also had a firearm. Five minutes after the unarmed police officers were on the scene an armed response unit of the Metropolitan Police arrived. The Islamic savages charged at the armed police and during this part of the incident one of the Islamic savages was shot and wounded by police.

Following a trial at the Central Criminal Court in 2014 both of these Islamic savages were given lengthy prison sentences, one of them getting a whole life tariff which means he will never be released whilst the other got 45 years in gaol, which is one of the longest determinate sentences ever handed out by a British criminal court. Hopefully these savages will never ever be released.

The aftermath of the attack created a wave of shock across the nation. Even though there were a generation or more of Britons which had become sadly somewhat used to British soldiers being killed on the streets as a result of the Northern Irish Troubles, the brutality of the attack and the fact it was carried out by followers of an imported and generally unwanted political religious ideology was different. Here was a situation where a British soldier, a man who should have been safe on the streets of the country that he served in uniform and who was a supporter of the Help For Heroes military veterans charity, was murdered by imported savages who were driven by an imported and savage ideology. Even though the UK had been through the horrors of other Islamic attacks such as 7/7 when a gang of Islamic savages in 2005 murdered over 50 people on tube trains and a bus, the brutal murder of a British soldier was something else. It was an escalation.

There was an outpouring of very justifiable anger following the murder of Fusilier Rigby. Some channelled this anger into what Jews would call Tzedakah or doing good works such as donating to the Help for Heroes organisation, whilst others decided to take out their anger on the mosques that they saw as the source of the radicalisation that created the monsters who murdered Fusilier Rigby. Even more Britons than those who targeted mosques or donated to military charities, voiced their highly critical views online about the Islamic ideology that had not only provided the motivation for those who killed a British soldier in Woolwich and dozens of Londoners on 7/7 but had also been at the heart of an epidemic of gang rape in towns and cities, often Labour Party run ones, across the country.

The backwash from the murder of Fusilier Rigby also brought into the public consciousness the activities of taxpayer funded pro-Islam groups like the ‘anti-Islamophobia’ group Tell Mama. This group was featured very heavily in the mainstream media making claims that there had been a ‘tidal wave of attacks on Muslims’. However it later transpired that Tell Mama were telling us a lot of porkie pies about this issue and that although there were indeed a few deplorable physical attacks on mosques and on individual Muslims, the vast majority of what Tell Mama was classifying as ‘Islamophobic attacks’ consisted of people going online and saying harsh but sadly quite true things about the ideology of Islam. It was at this moment that many of us realised that Tell Mama and groups like them were not primarily concerned with highlighting physical attacks or standing up for innocent Muslims who were the victims of such attacks, but instead shutting down all and any criticism of Islam and Jihad, no matter how true or justified such criticisms may be.

What we learned following the attack on Fusilier Rigby and the subsequent criminal trial and the various inquiries into the atrocity, was that the attackers had been regular attenders at several mosques in London but nobody in these mosques, neither the leadership nor any of the regular congregants brought any suspicions about the future attackers’ radicalisation to the attention of the authorities. It’s almost as if these people and these organisations were not particularly bothered by the sort of religious radicalisation that helped to create this pair of murdering savages.

To be fair there were some individual Muslims who spoke out about radicalisation in general following the murder of Fusilier Rigby. They rejected the radical and violent interpretation of Islam that had driven the savages who killed Fusilier Rigby in Woolwich but were rewarded for their voices of sanity by ending up being subjected to death threats by extremists such as the Al Shabbab jihadist group. Some of those Muslims who spoke out against the murder of Fusilier Rigby had to be warned by the Metropolitan Police to take security precautions due to the danger that their lives were now in.

The murder of Fusilier Rigby by those who had chosen to follow a death cult opened up lot of eyes among the general public as to the threat posed to the nation and its citizens by radical Islam. We can now clearly see that doing nothing about the growth of radical Islam has put us all in danger.

Unfortunately, although the general public has increasingly woken up and smelled the jihadist coffee and can see jihadism as a threat to everyone, the Government has not done the same. We are now in a situation where there are at least 40,000 religious and political extremists being monitored by the security services in the UK, with the vast majority of those threatening and dangerous individuals on that list being of an Islamic nature.

Following the Lee Rigby murder the government has to a large extent sat on its hands and done very little apart from utter mindless and often dishonest statements such as ‘Islam is a religion of peace’ and tinkered with the Prevent scheme. Prime Minister David Cameron’s government and subsequent Conservative governments should have taken bold action against Islamic religious extremists because of the dire nature of the threat to all of us posed by this ideology. Sadly what we got from Cameron and his successors was more of the same policies that failed prior to the 7/7 attacks and the murder of Fusilier Rigby. These governments pussy footed around the issue of Islamic radicalism despite 63% of British Muslims being as worried about the rise of Islamic extremism as the general population are.

The government not taking Islamic extremism as seriously as it should have done, plus the state taking a politically correct view about Islam has meant that Islamic radicalism has grown and created more terrorism and opportunities for terrorism.

A failure to deal with what was a clearly obvious Islamic problem in 2013 after the Lee Rigby murder meant that Islamic radicals ended up being either left alone or even facilitated to enter the UK where they committed other terrorist atrocities including the other attack that shares its anniversary with that of the murder of Lee Rigby, the Manchester Arena suicide bomb attack.

The Manchester Arena bomb attack of 2017 was a multi casualty suicide bomb attack by a Libyan Islamic savage who came from a family of known Islamic extremists but who was inexplicably still allowed to enter the UK and to settle here. The Islamic savage who did this, who I will also not dignify with a name, aided and abetted by his brother, was motivated by hate for the West because of the West’s intervention in the Syrian Civil War. I note well that this pair of murderous arseholes did not seem to be concerned about the deaths caused by the Syrian government, nor the deaths caused by the other parties in the conflict, only in the casualties caused by Western intervention. That’s odd that, isn’t it?

The suicide bomber managed to get into the entrance foyer of the Manchester Arena just as people, many of them children and young people, were streaming out of the venue following an Ariana Grande concert. While surrounded by innocent people, this murderous Islamic savage set off a large backpack bomb packed with nuts and bolts in order to make the bomb even more lethal than it would have been on its own.

22 people were killed by the actions of this savage, with over one thousand other people being injured with various degrees of seriousness. The suicide bomber’s brother was eventually apprehended by police and brought to trial, where in 2020 he was found guilty and given the longest ever determinate sentence given by a British court, which was 55 years.

The road to the attack was paved with Civil Service, security agency and police cock ups. None of the savages involved in this attack should ever have been allowed into the UK. They were dodgy and were known to be dodgy by the authorities. They should never have been here. If he and his family, along with the Imam of Didsbury mosque who made a public call for armed jihad ten days prior to the Arena attack, had been kept out of the United Kingdom, then all those who died or who were injured would have never been placed in any danger.

The suicide bomber had on the night of the attack been seen around the vicinity of the Manchester Arena but nobody seemed to think that a suspicious looking man of North African appearance, who at one point at least was seen with his lethal backpack, was anything of major concern. One security guard thought that the man who committed the bombing looked suspicious but because of the constant politically correct propaganda that he, like all other Britons, had been subjected to for many years, he was worried about being perceived as ‘racist’ for voicing his concerns to his superiors.

The security guard who was preoccupied with concerns about political correctness is probably the least guilty of those who by sins of omission allowed this attack to take place. Far more guilty were the Civil Servants who oversaw his entry into the UK and the Security Service (MI5) who because of the pressure of work, possibly because there are so many other potentially dangerous Islamic extremists in the UK, failed to properly process intelligence relating to the bomber and the bomber’s family and their activities. The result was that not only was an Imam who had allegedly taken part in fighting with Libyan Islamist groups allowed to incite violence in the UK but the savages who actually committed an appalling act of violence against Britons, were allowed to operate with almost little or no oversight or interdiction from the authorities.

What particularly galled me was the reaction of the authorities in the aftermath of the Manchester Arena bombing. They knew that we knew that the reason for all the death and destruction at Manchester Arena was down to radical Islam but did everything they could in the immediate aftermath of the attack to dissuade Britons from discussing this fact in any meaningful way. Instead of an acknowledgment by the authorities that the piles of the dead and broken bodies were created by people who had imbibed deeply from the well of Islamic backwardness and extremism and that this was something to be fought, we got calls to ‘don’t look back in anger’. In other words the Government, a government one of whose primary duties is to protect the ordinary British subject from assault by monsters from outside the country, just wanted people to grieve and move on and not think about the dire threats that we face from Islamic extremism.

These events of the 22^nd May, even though they are four years apart, are a testament to the failure of the Authorities to properly get to grips with Islamic religious extremism. It’s as if the authorities just wanted the public to go back to sleep and not think about what happened and how it happened. To not think or be righteously angry about the religious extremists who have been allowed in as ‘refugees’, or the Islamic clerics who call for violent jihad or the police, administrative class, politicians and others who have allowed a situation where there are now tens of thousands of radical Muslims on watch lists to be monitored.

The British state should have been more proactive in dealing with Britain’s Islamic extremism problems after the 2005 London transport system Islamic suicide bomb attacks. There should have been no quarter given to those who promoted religious or politically rooted violence, no entry into government or administrative circles for Islamist or Islamic propagandists, no use of the term ‘Islam is a religion of peace’ by anyone in governmental authority and much less influence over police forces by political and Islamic religious activists. Maybe if we’d had a more robust and cynical attitude towards Islamic religious extremism in place in our government, administrative and security spheres, none of those murdered in these two terrible attacks would have died?

May the memory of all those innocents killed in these two and in other Islam inspired terror attacks in the United Kingdom be for a blessing.
