Madness in the UK, which we have chronicled here on many occasions, denounced: "Are we mad? Every organ of the state now seems intent on protecting those who would destroy us," by Ruth Dudley Edwards in the Daily Mail, September 3 (thanks to Alexandra):
The picture on today's Mail Online website says it all. Abu Qatada, wanted by Jordan for involvement in terrorist attacks, strolls down a London street, carrying groceries paid for by the British taxpayer.Beside him, on a mobile phone, apparently acting as a go-between, is Yasser Al-Sirri, wanted by Egypt for aiding an assassination attempt in 1993 of the then Prime Minister with a car bomb, which instead killed a young girl.
Both these men despise the country that is sheltering them. To Qatada, it is the duty of Muslims to kill non-Muslims. Al-Sirri refers to the 'impotence and criminal nature' of the British government.
Well, he's right about the impotence. The decent people of this country want hate-mongers like these thrown out, but the Government seems powerless.
Between the human rights industry and a judiciary that appears more concerned about perpetrators than victims, foreign extremists are a protected species.
In the case of Qatada, the immigration authorities, the police, the security services, the judiciary and the politicians have been almost criminal in their failure to deal with a ruthless fanatic....
Read it all.
Was Rome like this in its final decades. Nothing certain, everything up for grabs. As the empire crumbled, the people who could do something about it vilified and destroyed, while the people who wanted it destroyed were lionised and applauded.
Is this the end of free speech, democracy and a better life, impaled on a "bright, shining lie?"
The only possible reason I can come up with on why nobody will do anything in the UK concerning these terrorists is that the terrorists have bribed the judiciary and/or those in power in the police departments. It's the only thing that could possibly explain this suicidal ignorance of Islam. After all, who will watch the watch dogs?
We haven't reached Any Rand's ultimate inversion yet, but a form of it has emerged. Who decides, and perhaps, more to the point, where are their allegiances? It seems to me that it is in the best interest of the European Commission to keep things in a state of disorder while they complete their bureaucratic coup d'etat. The EU have no intention of having government respond to the will of the people; the voting simply continues until a desired outcome is achieved, or they call it something else and dispense with the voting. The inversion is almost complete.
It seems as though they are leaving it to the citizens to remedy the problem.

If you have a couple of hours to spare and are interested why Britain is in its current state Google "Brian Gerrish" and an organisation called 'Common Purpose'. Britain is the new East Germany.
Dont'cha know? This shows how tolerant and kind the UK is. It's a plus point for our democracy that we can treat him like this.
Blarghhhhhhhhhhh. Can't believe I wrote that.
It seems credible that the elites in the british government and security services made deals with islamic extremists in which in return for a number of favours they would be allowed to settle in the UK providing they refrained from attacking the British.
perhaps the reasoning would have been that it is best to keep one's enemies at one's bossom where thay can be watched and located.
This also provided much employment in the secret services and surveillance business after the death of communism when many military intelligence officers would have found themselves redundant.
This may be the reason why so many of the vilest islamists are being given free rides by the brits.
There are lots of skeletons in the cupboard that they could expose and government heads might roll.
Of course the public is outraged and the government must be seen to be trying to do something about it to appease the naive public. But in the end there will be hot air and then business as usual.
So what'll happen to all those British rock stars???? Look like Keith Richards is gonna have to give up his not-so-occaisional Jack Daniels. And better hope that the ol' Monkberry Moon Delight doesn't have alcohol or pork products in it, or Sir Paul McCartney will be TOAST!!!!!!!!!!
Alan(UK) I did see the video of Brian Gerrish and the speech regarding Common Purpose. Creepy and scary all at once.
In looking at the photo of Abu Qatada, this is one of those cases when you CAN tell a book by it's cover.
At least these two men are honest about their religion. The majority of Muslims spend their whole life denying what Islam is - a religion of war, intolerance and hard of anthing and anyone non-Islamic.
Rather than deal with these two "products" of Islam, why not deal with the source itself?
"Please to remember/ the fifth of November/ gunpowder, treason and plot".
UK jihadwatchers, you have two months until Guy Fawkes Day, which celebrates the thwarting of a treasonous plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament.
Seems to me that this interesting festival offers distinct counter-jihad possibilities for mockery, the expression of kafir fury, and the exercise of freedom of opinion.
The Old Guy should not be the only effigy in the bonfire; this year he really ought to have company. To wit, one or more effigies bearing an uncanny resemblance to ha-Meshugga (Mad Mo) himself, or Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, or Osama bin Laden, or Hassan Nasrallah, or ...Abu Qatada and other Mohammedan treasonous fifth columnists in the UK (his mug shot is attached to the original news story - print it off and use it for inspiration when constructing a companion-in-the-fire for your Guy).
Look: there are Mohammedans who, in Britain, have been caught plotting to blow up the Houses of Parliament, just like old Fawkes way back when. There are Mohammedans who have been caught plotting to assassinate members of Parliament; and others caught plotting to assassinate THE QUEEN and THE ROYAL FAMILY.
Many of those Mohammedan plotters were born in the UK; many were 'citizens'; others, like Abu Qatada, were - so to speak - guests. Those who were citizens were planning to carry out High Treason; those who were guests, were spitting in the faces of those who had taken them in. Traitors, betrayers, the sin that Dante places in the bottommost pit of hell.
Burn their effigies in the fire with the Guy. And burn the effigy of Mohammed, ha-Meshugga, because he's the one in whose name the Mohammedans set out to subvert and smash all non-islamic polities and replace them with that void, that never ending plunge downward into violence and disorder and Unlaw, into terror and cruelty and deliberate Non-Sense, which is sharia.
This is about the affirmation of British laws and customs in the face of an invading and occupying army that fully intends to destroy those laws and customs.
Make those bonfires, all over Britain. Burn those bearded, be-turbanned be-robed effigies with the mad, mad eyes. And film it happening and post the pictures on the internet with the caption, 'LAN ASTASLEM'.
Are we mad? Every organ of the state now seems intent on protecting those who would destroy us
Sooner or later, governments that act (or fail to) like this will find all their organs in a sling. Unfortunately for the officials who let it happen; they probably won't get a sling.
The socialists/communists have done a fine job of watering down the Parliament and the judicial systems of the UK, just as they have done a fine job of watering down the US Constitution. Now the criminals have all the rights, the homeowners have little, the Christians have been portrayed as wackos who are hypocrites and the militaries of both countries are now in danger of being labeled murderers.
Islam, with the help of naive and spineless politicians in both nations have infiltrated and injected themselves into positions of power, bribed or threatened the lives of those with powers.
Eventual end result - Turmoil, chaos, revolution and if freedom is to survive, the freedom fighters had better step up to the plate right now.
