Islam strikes again

On July 4th I wrote that the two greatest threats to our freedom were immigration and Islam.

Sure enough, just three days later, Islamic terrorists strike London. And how much do you want to bet that the majority, if not all of, the terrorists were not born in the United Kingdom?

(And see Tim Worstall’s much linked to roundup of posts.)

Ohhhhh, what you said!! Shame on you for pointing out that unrestricted immigration is a threat to security.

Shame, shame!!

To begin with, we're not sure if it's Muslims or not, but I agree that it probably was.

Yet Islam remains not the ultimate cause of the problem, its the oil-dictators manipulating the extremist elements, just as dictators have always sought excuses for their power. More on this here: http://www.thepracticalpolitics.blogspot.com/

Half Sigma said, “And how much do you want to bet that the majority, if not all of, the terrorists were not born in the United Kingdom?”

It now appears that most of the suicide bombers were in fact born in England, although they were Pakistani, probably 2nd generation immigrants.

England, even after 9/11, tolerated firebrand Islamic militants who encouraged young Muslims to engage in a Jihad against the west and called for England to become an Islamic country and follow Islamic law. Most likely these young men got the idea for this bombing from one or more of those militant preachers.

To understand the motivation see http://counterterror.typepad.com/the_counterterrorism_blog/2005/07/where_do_homegr.html

The driving force for this terrorist movement is the Israel/Palestine conflict. Although this was hardly mentioned in the MSM, the Israeli government this week announced final plans to build a wall cutting off all of Jerusalem from the West Bank. Jerusalem is the third most holy city in Islam. The de facto annexation of all of Jerusalem into Israel will only bring more recruits to the Jihadist cause. The US and England are, of course, officially opposed to building this wall, but you haven’t heard George Bush or Tony Blair making a big issue of it, and it is unlikely that the US will reduce any of its aid to Israel because of it.

Make no mistake about it. The goal of the Jihadist is to drive every last Jewish person out of the state of Israel, but the Jihadist are a very small minority, just like the Jewish extremists who want to deport all Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza and annex both into the state of Israel are a very small minority. This is what the conflict is really about. These two extremist minority groups are what drives this conflict.

Well said, but just wait, now you'll be branded an anti-semtitist.
