It is the duty of Islam to isolate killers in the name of Allah
Il Giornale, May 24th, 2013
Muslims in the United Kingdom are almost three million. Their condemning the violence no longer enough: they must dissociate from the extremists’ arguments
“It’s cool, it’s cool”: that’s what the killer with bloodied hands said, still wielding a meat cleaver used to behead a young soldier in plain clothes. “It’s cool” he repeats, stopping a frightened guy with a cellphone and releasing an interview in a 30 minute footage before the arrival of police over the dismembered body. When he is done with the interview, he hangs out on site: the police are still not coming. Many journalists benefit this perverted metaphysical break where evil floats in the mephitic air of this ex London, as a pestilential bubble.
This story mirrors all of today’s light-headed, perverted British capital, and previews what Londonistan might end up looking like. We surely do not mean to offend any of the three great monotheistic religions, but at the same time we have here a soldier hacked to death by a Muslim young man, one of the million Muslims who live in London metropolitan area, and 2 million approximately who live in the UK according to the official data.
We certainly do not want to blame them all, and puh-leeze don’t bring up Islamophobia: he conveys the message to the guy who interviews him: he clearly states he killed a man in the name of the Quran. He was beheaded with a cleaver, the same way that Daniel Pearl and many other innocents were killed, as a sign of total, cannibalistic contempt: Pearl was then killed because he was a Jew, this victim because “the Quran says so, an eye for eye, a tooth for a tooth”. The rambling thought of a miserable idiot, indoctrinated in who knows which of the hundreds of mosques that invaded London, we would like to believe in the worst of all, although the background of the 2006 attack leads us to think that many madrasas stir up the worst kind of jihadism. The murderer, while hanging out before the arrival of police, added that he was sorry that women (women!) had to witness that show, but after all, the usual parrot with bloodied claws declaimed that in their land their women have to see the same”. Why? Because imperialism is violent, cruel, and murderous. The real murderer is confident, while he kills like suicide bombers who blow planes, busses, cafés, that he is the real victim of our current time. His weaponry and reasoning are identical to several other Islamist attacks on democratic society.
Now, as ours and London’s in particular are multi-ethnic societies, it is appropriate to ask our Muslim street mates, our fellows, our friends (as Eliot put it) to definitively condemn the methods and contents of Jihadist violence. That’s what we would like to hear from those two and a half millions of British citizens. The issue of integration is not made up by bowing and scraping. It is an essential issue. It is not to be showered with lies. In London the white British part of the population has become a minority (as per December 2012), whereas between 2001 and 2011 the Islamic part rose from 1.5 million to 2.7 million. Many policies failed, for instance all various governments spent in time more in translations than in teaching English, and three million people nowadays live in a household where no single adult speaks English.
Meanwhile, Tower Hamlets beyond the City hosts 46 mosques and 13 Catholic churches, in 2001 87 thousand residents were Muslim, and 60 thousand Christian; in Newham the overtaking is forthcoming with 123 thousand Christians and 98 thousand Muslims. The same is also happening in the city center: Westminster has 40 thousand Muslims against 97 thousand Christians, Kensington 15 thousand against 86 thousand. All of this is not evil per se: it becomes such when these figures translate into social conflict, into disdain, into a sense of religious superiority and above all into violence, which then results in terrorism. Muslim gangs occupy the streets in their neighborhoods obliging all residents to comply with Sharia, the Islamic Law.
They strongly prevent people from drinking alcohol and dressing as they please; they attack women and gays. They yell to non-Muslims “this is a Muslim area”, a man was beaten for having smoked on Ramadan; to women dressed in Western fashion who reply “This is Great Britain” they yell “No, this is a Muslim area”. The monotonous tune heard and recorded is: “We are here, Islam is here whether you like it or not. We will order the good and we will ban evil. You can go to hell, this is not a Christian society”, which really sounds like yesterday’s statement of the terrorist “You people will never be safe”.
Unquestionably, this terrorist and the savages of the “Muslim gangs” are a minority; Islam doesn’t certainly teach this; however, they should personally prove - by leaving their homes and mosques and taking to the streets to protest against this murder and its unbearable arguments – that the one million Muslims in London are an asset from a political and cultural perspective.
