Appeasement fails: UK travellers warned of increased global jihad terror threat

Nov 1, 2014 1:36 pm By Robert Spencer

UK travelersThe ingratitude. A few cursory ineffective airstrikes against the Islamic State, and the British get this. After all they have done to appease and accommodate Islamic supremacists, they get nothing but rage and hatred in response. The Conservative government now even wants to criminalize opposition to Sharia, and still the Islamic State isn’t accepting the submission of the Brits. What is it going to take?

“UK travellers warned of increased global terror threat,” BBC, November 1, 2014 (thanks to Joeb):

British travellers have been warned they could be targeted by terrorists seeking revenge for UK air strikes against Islamic State (IS) militants.

The Foreign Office (FCO) has updated its travel advice for all destinations.

It urges Britons living or travelling overseas to be “vigilant” because of the threat from those “motivated by the conflict in Iraq and Syria”.

The FCO said it was responding to the “generalised threat” rather than warnings of a specific attack.

Parliament backed British participation in air strikes against IS extremists in Iraq in September, at the invitation of the Iraqi government.

RAF aircraft are conducting flights almost daily, it is believed.

IS has seized large parts of both Iraq and Syria, up to the Turkish border.

The new advice comes after the UK national terror threat level was raised from “substantial” to “severe” in August, meaning an attack was “highly likely”.

The updated information, being added to all travel advice pages on the FCO website, states: “There is considered to be a heightened threat of terrorist attack globally against UK interests and British nationals from groups or individuals motivated by the conflict in Iraq and Syria.

“You should be vigilant at this time.”

A spokeswoman for the Association of British Travel Agents advised UK nationals overseas “be aware of an increased threat from terrorism”.

“All travellers should familiarise themselves with Foreign Office advice before they travel – in particular, country specific advice for their destination.”

“Holidaymakers should be alert but not alarmed,” she said.

The four threat level categories used by the FCO in advice to travellers are:

High, Countries include France, Thailand and India.
General. Countries include Spain, Italy, China, USA and Australia.
Underlying. Countries include South Africa, Ireland, Norway and Portugal.
Low. Countries include Switzerland, Mexico and Japan….

    The British tried to appease Hitler. It didn’t work. They are doing their darnest to appease Muslims. It isn’t working. Wake up, Brits…appeasement with crazies doesn’t work!

      It’s as if the British don’t know their own history. They’ve never heard of Neville Chamberland and his attempt to appease Hitler. The British government are a craven lot.

    (Moderate Muslims) just don’t ‘Get It’
    They don’t see this as ‘their’ problem.

    Muslims are not supposed to be friends with non-Muslims anyway.
    Muslims are by definition in Islam, to not give a shit about us.
    This is the problem.

    • mortimer says

      Nov 1, 2014 at 5:05 pm

      Correct. Allah does not love ‘humanity’, but observant Muslims only. Allah created kafirs so that Muslims might hunt and kill them as test of faith.

      Kafirs are merely targets for jihad.

      “Muslims are by definition in Islam, to not give a shit about us.

      No, Jay Boo. This is not the problem.
      Islam is an enemy, and enemies are supposed to do just that. They are supposed to not give a shit about us.
      The problem is *us*, we are supposed to fight back till we crush the enemy. We’re not.
      *This* is the real problem.
      We can’t blame our governments either, peoples are responsible for their governments’ actions and inactions.
      By not overthrowing these traitors *we* become the real problem.

    I notice that France is listed as a country with a high threat level, no doubt because in France things have gone even farther down the toilet than in the UK.

      It is all about the percentage of Muzzies
      If France.UK, and the US are becoming the toilet bowl of Muslim immigration then countries like Pakistan have long since become the backed-up overflowing cesspool of Islamic filth.

      • JOE MELO says

        Nov 1, 2014 at 9:57 pm

        Immigration concerning muslim nations and individuals need to be reviewed in Britain, Canada and other western democracies or we will die in Muslim hands as a result of our own free and democratic institutions and bull S… political correctness that seems to permeate the mind of our policy makers who happen to have no cujones at all.

        “…countries like Pakistan have long since become the backed-up overflowing cesspool of Islamic filth.”

        Something nasty that “overflowed” from Pakistan to Australia is going to be on its way back, presently (after having served a suitable jail term, to make the point).

        see the news story about a Pakistani Muslim “refugee” and illegal immigrant to Australia, and what he got up to, here:

      Yes, and also because in France, people like to go on strike, protesting, rioting etc. They are very proud of the Revolution of 1789 and other revolutions and for them, it is a good patriot’s duty to revolt if they are unhappy with the government. Now think about a young guy who becomes a radical muslim AND grew up in a society with this mentality, this makes a very very dangerous mix.

    LOST! The UK Conservative Party is lost at sea!

    UK recently cancelled its blasphemy law that prohibited criticizing the Church of England! Now, they want a blasphemy law that prohibits the criticism of Sharia law?

    Is this preposterous or what?

    The Foreign Office said

    “motivated by the conflict in Iraq and Syria.”

    The BBC and Guardian both turned it into

    “seeking revenge for UK air strikes against Islamic State (IS) militants.”

    Quite a step up isn’t it? The first could just mean carrying jihad international in line with IS’s stated intentions. The second means they’re only reacting to us (the Western aggressors).

    This is what we’re up against from them.

    The road to appeasement is narrow. It is ’40 miles of bad road’, that dead ends at slavery or death. Only a fool tries to navigate it. There is no turn around and you can’t back up. The sign over the gate at the end says, ‘abandon hope, all ye who enter here’…Appeasement is not a good road to be on, but it is the path western elitists have taken.

    You’d think they would have learned their lesson. They appeased the shit out of Muslims before WWII, commited the single worst boner in English history by putting the genocidal Grand Mufti in charge of Palestinian Arabs and basically facilitated the Nazi’s Jewish Holocaust. Read Caroline Glick’s new book The Israeli Solution and “From Time Immemorial: The Origins of the Arab-Jewish Conflict Over Palestine” Book Review by Daniel Pipes

      Yeah, yeah. Blame the Brits for the clearly religiously motivated Arab vs Jewish conflict. Never mind the fact we’d all be speaking German if it’s wasn’t for their amazing defensive island mentality and British guts, eh? For all the books saying otherwise I’ll give hundreds more stating the facts. Britain really was great once you know, and might well be again. So why not Stop playing into the Arab underhand game plan by blaming one of the founders of the greatest western civilisation ever, simply because they are under savage and sustained attack by islam and a tad ‘confused’ at present.

    What the Camerons and Obamas of this world have not understood is that this is a real war, between free secular democracy and the totalitarian ideology of Islam.
    We have to define and defend our democratic principles.
    Such as free speech. You do not defend your freedom by giving it away piece by piece. And you do not allow the enemy to occupy your country unopposed. Our leaders are actually assisting the Islamification of The West.

  13. ECAW says

    Have to disagree with you there. There can be good Muslims despite their evil religion just as there are bad Christians despite the benign example of Jesus (or so I believe as a non-Christian). The saying “The only good Muslim is a bad Muslim” made me think “Aha, that’s true” when I came across it. I believe it was invented by a poster here.

    In Britain at least it is the case that the further Muslims are from the Muslim colonies the more successful and integrated they are likely to be. Likewise the further Muslims are from the hateful example of the Mohammed of Medina at least, the more chance there is of them behaving with the basic decency of their host country.

    “Being a bad thief does not make you a good person!” A good line but a poor analogy I think. It’s only about competence not motivation. What about a child with a decent disposition being born into a family of thieves. They might still be a good person and yet not be able to leave entirely. Hey, I think I may just have achieved whataboutery – Yaaay!

      Thanks for your reasonable reply. It’s boring when these discussions descend into acrimony after just a couple of exchanges don’t you think? I have only just started struggling with these issues myself and am far from decided about them. For instance I have been following the discussion between Voegelinian and Wellington and find myself sympathising with both their views.

      My own tentative view at the moment is that I would want to hang on to the idea that you should penalise actions not beliefs. That’s not to say that we shouldn’t proscribe a lot more actions than we do at present. None of this will be relevant anyway until we realise that we are in a war, something that only one side recognises at the moment, but I’m glad to see people discussing what concrete steps should be taken when we do.

      The main difference between “bad Muslims” & “bad Christians” is what they regard as their holy scriptures. For the Christian, it is solely the Holy Bible, for the Muslim it is mainly the Quran, but also some other books & writings. The key difference is that nowhere in the New Testament of the Holy Bible are Christians actively encouraged to go around doing bad things like murdering or beheading people, even if they don’t agree with the Christian faith. So, only a “bad” Christian (or someone who might not be a practising Christian at all, but who some people might “think of” as a Christian) would do something which goes against the teachings of the New Testament. On the other hand, while the Quran does contain some “peaceful”-speak in it, it also contains scriptural passages which promote & encourage violence, especially towards non-Muslims. So It’s possible that someone could be perceived as a “good” Muslim, by doing something which Christians would perceive as bad, but which is promoted in the Islamic scriptures (like killing non-Muslims). On the other hand, any “peaceful” Muslims could be perceived as “bad” Muslims by other Muslims, because they are not doing everything that their faith/religion requires of them (ie going around killing non-Muslims). In Christianity, there can be no mistake that any blatant killing behaviour goes against the teachings of the New Testament in the Holy Bible.

    Why Appeasewment?

    In democratic countries with a strong urge not to go to war, the givernment has to show to the public, that they have done everything humanly possible to avert a full scale war.

    “Appeasement” is also the rope one leads out, to hang them when the time is right.
