London Bombings: Remembering 7/7
Today last year, bombs went off in London. Lives were lost. Europe got a taste of terrorism.
We remember. And all democratic nations should never forget.
Michelle Malkin concludes: “What good is remembrance if it is wrapped not in resolve, but appeasement?”
Indeed. Very true.
We are in a fight for civilization. It’s not just about terrorism, it’s about preserving culture. Our enemies have no respect for Western values, and we must consider this on all levels: foreign policy and domestic policy, including immigration.
Consider the problems facing Europe: France, Germany and London. The Washington Post reports:
Just in time for the one-year anniversary of 7/7, a poll conducted for The Times of London indicates that 13 percent of British Muslims believe that the four Islamic suicide bombers who murdered 52 people in London last July should be regarded as “martyrs.”
With a Muslim population in Britain estimated at 1.6 million, this means that some 208,000 British Muslims regard these killers with what can only be described as a worshipful attitude, which is despicable. But Mother England, it seems, is home to an awful lot of despicable people.
One of them, surely, is Anjem Choudary, who made related news this week. Mr. Choudary is a former leader of al-Mujahiroun, a defunct, jihad-inciting group, whose venomous pronouncements on Islamic supremacy have earned him a strange prominence in the British media. He refuses to condemn the 7/7 attacks, says Muslims shouldn’t help police combat jihad terror and advocates sharia (Islamic law) for Britain. During a BBC “Newsnight” appearance this year, the host asked Mr. Choudary why he didn’t simply move to a sharia state like Iran.
“Who says you own Britain, anyway?” Mr. Choudary replied. “Britain belongs to Allah. The whole world belongs to Allah … If I go to the jungle, I’m not going to live like the animals, I’m going to propagate a superior way of life. Islam is a superior way of life.”
When fighting fanatics, there can be no diplomacy.
