Almost Inevitable

The sad news that 49 people have been killed in a terrorist attack on two Mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, would almost have passed without me commenting (such is the frequency of these crimes in recent years) ...

Christchurch Mosques .....

.... but for the fact that it was apparently non-muslim terrorists, who attacked the Mosque worshippers.

Terrorists Amongst Us

What can anyone say about the news tonight of the slaughter (it can hardly be classed as murder, the victim was unarmed, while his assailants were allegedly armed with knives and a gun), in London, of a man whose only crime was that he reportedly was wearing the T-shirt of the military charity 'Help for Heroes'. He is believed to have been a soldier from the nearby Woolwich barracks. The two black attackers then apparently ran about, waiving their gun, knives, and their blood soaked hands, shouting 'Allahu Akbar', (Arabic: الله أكبر, "Allah is Great"),  and trying to get people to photograph them. All the while encouraging members of the public to take videos of them.

ITV broadcast this video footage.

In video footage broadcast by ITV, one of the alleged attackers says: "We swear by almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you ..... I apologise that women have had to witness this today, but in our land our women have to see the same ..... You people will never be safe. Remove your government, they don't care about you".

All this in a 'South London accent' ..... You would think that a lot of eyes would now be opened, but no doubt the PC driven politicians will make the usual 'Its only a minority', 'Islam is peaceful', 'Islam is good for our society and should be free to proselytise', and finally that 'People in every community will be equally shocked' .... which are all shorthand for lets pretend that this hasn't happened ...... until the next time .... and rest assured there will be a next time, and another, and another.

I am only mildly surprised that they didn't leave instructions for the welfare benefits their wives and children are to receive. After all they will survive this, be sent to prison for 30 yrs or so, their families will be able to visit them, and no doubt another set of Jihadist's will be brought up on the streets of our cities. In London, they will likely find a lot more support, as Muslims become the largest proportion of the population inside the probable lifetimes of these two Islamists.

For what its worth, my thoughts aren't with the scum who did this, but firmly with the poor family and friends of the victim. His loss to the world is a thousand times more tragic, than anything his attackers offered it.
