Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

UK’s Express: “What to do if ISIS strikes”

Dec 25, 2015 1:56 pm By Robert Spencer

The Express left out the most important thing that people in in Britain and all over the West must do, and are certain to do, whenever the Islamic State strikes in their countries: insist that the attack had nothing whatsoever to do with Islam, the religion of peace and tolerance, and that anyone who dares to note that the Islamic State bases everything it does upon Islamic texts and teachings is a racist, bigoted Islamophobe.

“UK cities at risk of BOXING DAY terror attack – and what to do if ISIS strikes,” by Alix Culbertson, Express, December 25, 2015:

…He said: “We’re not going to see the end of this threat by the end of this decade.

No kidding, really? Here’s news: we’re not going to see the end of this threat for decades and centuries to come.

…Mr Geddes has set out a six-point guidance plan to help keep yourself safe if there is a terrorist attack:

1. Situational awareness – If anybody is making you feel uncomfortable, get out of there and tell the authorities. If you are in a busy place such as a shopping centre make sure you know where the exit points are.

2. Listen to your instinct – If you think somebody is acting suspiciously don’t just ignore it

3. Report it – Don’t just leave it to the authorities, a bag left by itself or somebody acting suspiciously, call the anti-terror hotline on 0800 789 321 or 999 if it’s urgent

4. Action – If you see or hear guns or other weapons get yourself away from the attacker as soon as possible without crossing their path of attack.

Find a good hiding place, such as a concrete wall or a metal fence and keep yourself low, turn your mobile phone off and keep quiet but call 999 as soon as you can

5. Regroup – If you are in a busy place with a group decide a place you can meet if you get split up

6. Find a safe place – Decide on a restaurant, bar or shop near your work and home where you know you can be safe if something happens.

    Rule #7 ++ If you report a Muslim for acting suspiciously, we may forgo punishing you if it turns out that he was, in fact, a terrorist. Otherwise we will leak your name to social media, ridicule you on national TV, have you booked and fingerprinted, notify your employer of your racist leanings, and hit you with a tax audit including an anal probe to see where you might be hiding money. Have a nice day.

      No, that’s not true. I reported someone yesterday who appeared very suspicious and the police never even asked me for my name. It’s kind of stupid to post this kind of ignorance, especially since it’s not true.

        Standard routine is for the police to AlWAYS ask for your name, address etc. even if its something trivial.

    Here in America we have a few more options. One is to carry your concealed weapon with you at all times. Everytime we have witnessed a mass shooting by either a Muslim jihadist or some mentally ill person, it has most often been in a gun free zone. I would suggest removing those silly signs that invite the jihadist or mentally ill to the fact that no one but they would be armed. The people of the UK and most of Europe don’t have the option to carry concealed. We hear the left saying that if one or more had been armed it wouldn’t have made a difference. There were two shooters in the recent California mass shooting, if even one had been shot the other might have retreated or at least been more cautious about standing in the line of fire of someone armed.

    As for Camerons suggestions, how many of them might get you arrested if you happen to see a Muslim acting suspiciously and report it. In SanBernadino, folks watched as Muslims were acting suspicious late at night but failed to report due to a belief that they would be called islamophobes.

    Cameron says go into a restaurant, well wasn’t one of the Paris attacks at a local restaurant? What makes anyone think that being in a restaurant with others makes you safer. There’s just more people for the terrorist to kill. You would be better off hiding in a darkened alley then in a lighted restaurant if the shooting begins.

    But lets be real, the biggest problem facing the UK and most of Europe has been brought about by fools like Cameron and Merkel who are so willing to allow these Muslims into their countries. They should know by now that Muslims don’t assimilate into other cultures, Muslims want to take control and demand that those who let them in change for them. Europe is commiting suicide by immigration as they continue to let the invaders in. We here in America must be aware of whats taking place in Europe. Our liberal media refuses to show the real picture of what happens when the invaders are let loose onto the streets of Europe. Hospitals in Germany need Police to stand guard when Muslims are there to be treated. Male Muslims refuse female nurses or doctors and female Muslims refuse to be treated by Male doctors. This alone should open the eyes of the elite but they live in gated communites. They don’t have to put up with the filth and attacks that these invaders bring with them.

      Ubiquitous weaponry is not the answer. Death by Gunshot in America shows that pretty plain and clear, unless you’ve been brainwashed by the gun industry and refuse to see reason, evidence, and , really, what the rest of the world knows very clearly: more guns does not solve gun problems.

        • BC says

          Dec 26, 2015 at 5:23 am

          Because they are there to enforce the law in a gun toting society, if the people did not have so many guns, the police would not need to carry guns. It is a mark of pride that the Uk police do not routinely strap on a gun when they go on duty. They have also repeatedly said they do not want them.
          Every time a cop makes a routine traffic stop in USA he doe not know if he is likely to get shot

          No you are wrong, they are not there to enforce the law in a gun toting society as you say, people who are routinely armed and carry have been through an FBI background check, a police check are free from any mental problems, the police in the USA have always been armed, killings by firearms are lowering year by year in the USA, never has there been so many guns there and so many more concealed carry, therefore more guns less crime.
          Wrong again by saying if people did not have as many guns,,,,, the people in the UK used to be armed a lot, in the early 1900’s, in fact there are cases where the police borrowed passing civilians gun in order to chase armed criminals.
          Today there are more armed police than ever and no civilian pistols are owned,
          The problem in the UK at the moment is that there is no conceal carry, as when it kicks off, you have to phone 999, 4-5 minutes to explain what where why it is happening, then up to an hour for the police to turn up?
          Alternative you shoot the murdering terrorist?

        Why was she not killed?
        Because there was a man with a gun.

        If what you are saying is true, why do most mass shootings occur in gun free zones these days? And why is the liberal media so afraid to report on crimes foiled by responsibly armed citizens? (and there are many)
        I think you are the one brainwashed by the left into thinking that “guns are evil” as if a gun will run to a gun free zone, force it’s way into good guys hand and turn him into a mass killer. It’s funny how the western media flocks to a gun free zone where a dozen people are shot, (and they should) but ignores a left stronghold like Chicago with strict gun laws. When fifty people are killed by gun violence on a holiday weekend. Is it because most of those killed were black and or gang members. Or is it because bastions of anti guns is where most of the problems occur? You are entitled to your opinion, but as for me, if a person breaks into my home with intent to hurt my family I will defend them with the most force possible. All the while people in Europe are allowing groups of muslim men gang to rape their young women and girls. Wringing their hands, not knowing what to do, because if they say or do something everyone will brand them an ISLAMAPHOBE. So the solution is to do nothing. Tough luck to you girls who are native to your country. We lefties who live in gated communities can’t understand why you can’t get along with the folks from other countries we dumped into your neighborhoods. If that’s your idea of righteousness I’ll keep my guns, thank you very much.

        Are you that foolish ? if a gun person is shooting people and you stop them by shooting them then that is positive… they will not shoot anyone else and having a gun has meant you (well not you because you are a a fool) but somebody else would save lives !.

        There is no excuse for your ignorance about guns, crime rates and death rates. No excuse at all, and quite frankly, YOU are as much a threat to freedom and any devout muslim.

        All nonsense. Particularly BC “pride that the Uk police do not routinely strap on a gun when they go on duty” The UK police was not even armed when you could buy fully automatic weapons in the UK!

        To everybody trotting the *moronic* lines that guns are not the answer, make no difference, solve nothing etc cetera est,

        ASK YOURSELVES:

        If so, why do terrorists use them? Simple as that.

    It is amazing to me that public officials like Prime Minister Cameron can make the kind of statements and warnings about potential terrorist attacks and still talk about Islam as a “religion of peace”. In life, there are basically only two ways to be fooled either you refuse to believe things which are true or you insist on believing things which are not true. Note to Mr. Cameron: it’s best not to get the two confused!

  4. Angemon says

    Dec 25, 2015 at 2:39 pm

    1. Situational awareness – If anybody is making you feel uncomfortable, get out of there and tell the authorities.

    Unless that “anybody” is a muslim, in which case the authorities will imply you’re a bigoted, racist islamophobe and do nothing, which is the abridged version of how they dealt with denounces of islamic rape gangs for decades.

    If you are in a busy place such as a shopping centre make sure you know where the exit points are.

    And then go somewhere else – what are the chances that a group of people wanting to engage in mass slaughter will ignore the place everyone will try to run away to?

    2. Listen to your instinct – If you think somebody is acting suspiciously don’t just ignore it

    Unless they’re a muslim, in which case tell yourself that you’re just being racist and try to act normally and not draw any attention to it.

    3. Report it – Don’t just leave it to the authorities, a bag left by itself or somebody acting suspiciously, call the anti-terror hotline on 0800 789 321 or 999 if it’s urgent

    That’s how Clock Boy got a s*** load of stuff for free, and is now suing for 15 million dollars. If you’re going to report anything to the authorities, make sure to scrub any mention of islam and muslims, unless you don’t want them to take you seriously or act on it.

    4. Action – If you see or hear guns or other weapons get yourself away from the attacker as soon as possible without crossing their path of attack.

    Find a good hiding place, such as a concrete wall or a metal fence and keep yourself low, turn your mobile phone off and keep quiet but call 999 as soon as you can

    And while you wait for the police to arrive, don’t forget to thank whoever took away your right to own and carry firearms.

    5. Regroup – If you are in a busy place with a group decide a place you can meet if you get split up

    Saves ISIS the trouble of having to hunt you down one by one.

    6. Find a safe place – Decide on a restaurant, bar or shop near your work and home where you know you can be safe if something happens.

    Look for the nearest “Gun-Free Zone” and run for safety.

    Also, this is relevant to the topic:

    Centuries to come, Mr. Spencer? Oh God, I do hope it won’t take that long. I’m still thinking in terms of a new Hundred Years War that could be variably dated anywhere from the creation of Israel in 1948 to the death of Ibn Qutb in 1966 to the Ayatollah ascending to power in 1979. But centuries? If centuries, rather than just many more decades, there may be nothing left of mankind.

    In any case, Merry Christmas, Mr. Spencer. You are about as great a force for freedom anywhere in the world in our age and I for one esteem you for it.

    I live in the uk and have to visit London for work, I wish we were allowed to carry weapons as in the US but here we would be arrested for carrying a small penknife. Only a matter of time before another major terrorist attack here.
