Theresa May says “far too much tolerance of extremism in our country,” and that “when it comes to taking on extremism and terrorism things need to change.” Then she repeats the same false and failed analysis, that the jihad “is a perversion of Islam.” Her refusal to identify the motivating ideology behind these jihad attacks means that she will never confront this enemy properly, and never deal with the real source of the incitement to violence. And so for all her tough talk, she is doomed to failure.
“Theresa May says ‘enough is enough’ in wake of London Bridge terror attack as she confirms General Election will go ahead,” by Jack Maidment, Telegraph, June 4, 2017:
Theresa May has vowed that “enough is enough” as she urged people to go about their lives as normal after seven people were killed and almost 50 injured in the London Bridge terror attack.
The Prime Minister said that there is “far too much tolerance of extremism in our country” as she set out plans to crackdown on terror.
She said that while the Manchester Arena attack which killed 22 people, the Westminster attack in March which left four people dead and the London Bridge attack are not directly connected there is now a “new trend” in the threat the UK faces as “terrorism breeds terrorism”.
The Prime Minister said that the UK must do more to tackle the threat posed by “Islamist extremism”.
Speaking in Downing Street after chairing a meeting of the Cobra emergency committee, she said: “It will only be defeated when we turn people’s minds away from this violence and make them understand that our values, pluralistic, British values, are superior to anything offered by the preachers and supporters of hate.”
Mrs May paid tribute to the emergency services who responded to the latest attack with “great courage and great speed” as she confirmed that many of the injured are in “life threatening conditions”.
She said: “Our country has made significant progress in disrupting plots and protecting the public.
“But it is time to say enough is enough. Everybody needs to go about their lives as they normally would.
“Our society should continue to function in accordance with our values but when it comes to taking on extremism and terrorism things need to change.”
All of the major political parties have suspended national campaigning ahead of the General Election and Mrs May said campaigning will resume tomorrow with polling day on June 8 to go ahead as planned.
She said: “As a mark of respect the two political parties have suspended our national campaigns for today but violence can never be allowed to disrupt the democratic process.
“So those campaigns will resume in full tomorrow and the General Election will go ahead as planned on Thursday.”
The Prime Minister struck a defiant tone as she said that “things need to change” in the fight against terror and that the UK “cannot and must not pretend that things can continue as they are” as she suggested that longer sentences could be introduced for terror offences and pledged to review the Government’s counter terrorism strategy.
She said the London and Manchester attacks are connected in “one important sense”.
“They are bound together by the single evil ideology of Islamist extremism that preaches hatred, sows division and promotes sectarianism,” she said.
“It is an ideology that claims our Western values of freedom, democracy and human rights are incompatible with the religion of Islam.
“It is an ideology that is a perversion of Islam and a perversion of the truth.
“Defeating this ideology is one of the great challenges of our time but it cannot be defeated through military intervention alone.”

May’s version of Mohammedanism is the real perversion.

Jayke says
By the way, these people don’t need the internet to get radicalised. All they need is to obey a few statements in Mohammed’s book.
utis says
That, and an imam pointing out those passages, and encouraging the faithful in the fight. It’s disturbing that May goes after the internet, since her real intentions are probably to shut up anyone her party deems dangerous especially Islam critics, who annoy muslims with unpleasant facts.
England needs a strong propaganda arm to counter the lures of ISIS and its flunkies. Ideally, she should recruit the imams and “scholars” to co-operate in separating “good” Islam from “bad” Islam. Fat chance. In the meantime, if muslims do not reform their own religion, outsiders will have to do it. The hard way.
I will give May one brownie point: for mentioning the “i” word. That’s more than Obama did.
Kay says
Yes, she did. But look at MSM: they easily pick their way around and leave that out.
Godwin says
She is cornered to mention the “i” word after so many terror attacks.
Dale Netherton says
The foundation of faith makes this madness possible.

It only took 100 years for pislam to spread from and obscure sect, in the middle of the desert, to conquering half of Europe. No internet. No autobahn. No cellphones. They are well practiced at their art. How about us? If we don’t tighten-up our game, we will become extinct! We need to become serious about our situation and demand the same from our legislators. No more excuses. How many of us must die before out government accepts that the muzzies are out for blood and make no excuses

She like so many Other’s is afraid, to tell the truth. She should be replaced with a STRONG “Crusader of long, long ago. If we don’t stand together and FIGHT to take Our Countries Back, all will be Lost. Folks, Muslims are Winning because our Leaders are so weak with no Backbone and/or Go-Nads.
old white guy says
Where is a Churchill when you one?
Yokel says
Robert wrote: “She like so many Other’s is afraid, to tell the truth.”
I agree that she is not telling the truth, but disagree as to the truth she is hiding. The Frankfurt School, and its active entity Common Purpose, have been engaged in a “long march” through the whole of British institutions of government and propaganda (eg BBC). That seems now to be complete. I therefore believe that the truth she is witholding is that this invasion and the consequential terror is wanted. The majority of the British have been willing to give up liberty for illusory promise of security. May wants more Security Apparatus to control the whole of the British populatiion. This enables it. Blair put the “Enabling Act” on the statute book*, now we are managing the build up to a need to use it.
*See the Civil Contingencies Act, and the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Act. Read them with a jaundiced frame of mind.

Michael says
Even Trump courts the Saudis perhaps they are conning him too as Saudi Arabia is a major funder of terrorism.
Son of the West says
This is why the label “radical Islam” is misleading and plays into the hands of jihadists and their fellow travelers. There’s nothing radical in Islam about the idea of killing and subjugating those who are not Islam. These terrorists should be called “Islamic fundamentalists” or “orthodox Muslims.” Denying that terror and violence against non-Muslims is not a fundamental part of Islam throughout it’s history, or is some new perversion of mainstream Islam, is horribly incorrect.
A real perversion of Islam would the rejection of forced conversion, death for apostasy, and the recognition that the laws of the land supersede Sharia law.
Terry Gain says
I agree with you completely. I also use the term ” devout Muslims”.
Martin says
In UK you will be arrested and jailed if you use threating words which show Islam in a bad light. I thank you Terry for giving me words which may allow me to say something about Islam without being arrested.
Islam is a CULT. We have stopped them once before but now it will harder as they live in our own lands and we have no leaders in our country.
Son of the West says
I should also point out that what is really at stake here is the unwinding of six or seven centuries of trying to advance human liberty, freedoms, and rights. The very same people who would turn a sickly shade of green at the thought of imposing Christianity by force, and are content to hound it from the public square, have little issue with bringing in an ideology that truly is, in practice, what they claim their anti-Christian straw man to be. This is mind-boggling hypocrisy, or even simple illogical consistency, of the highest order.

Check out Prince Charles’ personal motto, and bear in mind that “Ich dien” – apart from it’s German translation of “I serve” – coincidentally ties in with the Arabic “din” or “deen” which means adopting a completely Sharia compliant way of life….

John W. says
Imam Theresa May almost sees the light but just can’t quite grasp that it’s not a perversion.

Well expressed.
THE REAL IMAGE OF ISLAM IS HATRED DIRECTED AGAINST KAFIRS:
“The doctrine of al Wala wal Baraa is the real image for the actual practice of this faith.”
– quoted from Al Walaa wal Baraa According to the Aqeedah of the Salaf, by Sheikh Muhammad Saeed al Qatani, authoritative Saudi Sharia lawyer and imam at the Abu Bakr and Al Furqan Mosques in Mecca: https://islamfuture.wordpress.com/2009/08/20/al-wala-wal-bara-according-to-the-aqeedah-of-the-salaf-parts-123/
Concern says
In a western society, government should not interfere with religion.
In this case, May should NOT be the one to define what ‘true’ islam and what ‘false’ islam is.
It is enough for her to condemn the attacks, and take action to prevent any such violent actions.
Unfortunately, she has a very bad track record, especially given the fact that she banned Robert Spencer, but allowed confirmed salafistic hate preachers to freely visit the UK.
Furthermore, the bans and restrictions she wants to place on ‘the internet’ are reminding me of further thought-police, that is already rampant in the UK and Germany. This does not bode well for all who value freedom of speech.
James says
It is because Western society is – for all sort of historical reasons – unwilling to interfere with peoples’ religion that there is a problem.
Guest says
Yes, governments most certainly should interfere with political fascist ideologies that call themselves ‘religions’.
underbed cat says
Excellent point, Concerned, “…”May should NOT be the one to define what is ‘true’ islam and what ‘false’ islam is.” This is especially true if she is getting her information from the MB organizations of Europe that has a vested interest in protecting the religion from facts about it, or she feels she would inflame terrorism so just bring it here to practice the part she likes and does not know the other part which she claims is hijacked or a perversion. But denying facts is dangerous….and silencing criticism is exactly how terrorism survives.
Terry Gain says
I agree with you completely. I also use the term ” devout Muslims”.
Terry Gain says
Islam isn’t a religion.
Donald R Laster Jr says
The proper term is theocracy. It is foreign State with its own laws (Shar’iah). In the US Shar’iah law, as is all foreign law, is prohibited.

As long the politicians do not speak the truth to British natives, terrorism will continue. politicians are appeasing Muslims for their votes.,Elect the Labour party leader and offer the Britain to terrorists in silver platter then they might be stop terrorism and stop raping British girls.

“Traitor, traitor, working late – in the great Offices of State

Thanks Billybob – the answer is both “Yes” and “No” since that is me riffing on William Blake’s famous
“Tyger, tyger, burning bright – in the forests of the night
What immortal hand or eye
First framed thy fearful symmetry ?”
I guess that I should have put the usual “with apologies to…” but I just took it that everyone would know the original, much like “Satisfaction” or “Gimme Shelter” etc.
I was just working off a bit of anger at our political classes, was all. Here’s another:
“In London Town did Sadiq Khan
A mighty charnel-house decree
In spate the crimson river ran,
through taverns now pleasureless to man,
down to a blood-red sea…” (with apologies to Samuel Coleridge Taylor)
The poem that really nails the present state of the world, is WB Yeats “The Second Coming”. His words were prophetic, an excerpt here:
“Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
And everywhere the ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
…….
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born ?”
Albert Pelka says
In contrary: Theresa May is a perversion of a Primeminister of UK
James says
No. She iis dealing with a situation of a kind that her predecessors have not had to deal with, and for which there is, in modern times in the UK, very little precedent. Perhaps the nearest precedent is the suppression of the Thuggee cult in British India in the 19th century. But even that is rather unliike the present problem. She has to act within the law, and the law, which includes both international law and the laws of the English and Scottish Parliaments limits what she can do.
The trend of the law in the last 350 years had been in favour of a gradual increase in the rights and liberties of subjects, and a lessening in the power of the Crown in Parliament. From Habeas Corpus, to the series of electoral reform Acts in the 19th century, with the abolition of religious tests for matriculation in the Universities and the liberty first of Catholics, then Jews, then atheists, then women to be elected to Parliiament in 1829, 1858, 1886 and 1918 respectively, the trend has been in favour of relaxing restrictions and of greater freedom. The Acts of the last 50 or so years removing legal sanctions against sodomy and abortion, and allowing IVF and related developments, can be seen as part of this trend. The Catholic Relief Acts of 1778 and 1791 are part of it. So, arguably, are the anti-slavery Acts of 1807 and 1833, the laws allowing instead of punishing the formation of labour unions, and reforms in the treatment of the insane, the ending of flogging in the army, and the ending of National Service.
To penalise members of a religion would go against this trend. Measures against the IRA raised no such problem, because terrorism is contrary to what the CC at least claims to stand for, Catholics were often victims of the IRA or were opposed to it, and the IRA was manifestly not motivated by Catholicism alone. The IRA tortured people, not for being bad Catholics, but for opposing the IRA.
And Islam is a religion, if nothing else. So how to deal with it is not clear.
Wellington says
Fine recounting of matters, James. Of course, the one exception to the extension of freedom over the centuries in Britain is that lately, in the last twenty year or so, the stupid and dangerous distinction has been made, at least de facto if not de jure, between free speech and hate speech. But this recent negative development aside, the fundamental problem remains and that is that mankind got a religion which is rotten to the core and various Western legal systems really don’t know what to do about it. Worst of all, the elites in these Western societies are still pretending, for whatever damnable and inexcusable reason, that Islam is OK and it’s just been perverted by some extremists. Nothing of course could be further from the truth since Islam itself, all of it, is the perversion.
Time for realism and practicality in Western legal systems, i.e., full frontal recognition that Islam is malevolent and destructive and Western constitutions and laws will have to adapt to this. If not, the descent will continue, courtesy of Islam which will parasitically use Western law to eventually end Western law. A whole new crop of leaders is needed. People like May, Macron and Merkel not only are inadequate but actually harmful and one knows this by now or should know it. The West is in profound trouble at present and matters had better change dramatically or it could lead to the ending of Western Civilization as we know it.
Rufolino says
But ignorance is bliss and so is political correctness. People do NOT WANT to hear how nasty Islam is. Comfy illusion is vastly preferable.
A victim’s shocked mother said yesterday, to camera: “all religions believe the commandment ‘Thou shalt not kill’ ! Don’t they ?”
Phil Copson says
James, it’s perfectly clear how to deal with it, whether here or anywhere else. You do not allow anybody of any religion or nationality to call for anything which is plainly against the law, the constitution, and the safety of the nation.
Anyone calling for the overthrow of the constitution and it’s replacement by a caliphate, should be expelled.
Anyone preaching racial hatred against Jews, Christians, Sikhs, Hindus etc should be expelled.
Anyone calling for the murder of apostates, homosexuals, British soldiers and policemen etc should be expelled.
Anyone preaching the subjugation of women, and practicing polygamy and FGM should be expelled.
Preaching from the Koran should never have been allowed in the first place; now only a heavily-edited version should be allowed.
Mosques should be monitored, every service recorded, and any mosque preaching proscribed passages should be closed down. Muslim-only schools should be closed down.
It really is that simple. Having a British passport is irrelevant; they plainly do not consider themselves to be British, and therefore have already surrendered any entitlement to UK citizenship.
Had my parents been resident in Pakistan when I was born, would that make me a Pakistani ? No, of course not, and anyone who is dedicated to muslim rule is not British.
It is now circa 5.00pm UK time, so I am now going to spend Sunday evening circulating my thoughts to every MP whose e-mail address I can get hold of (they stop using their official Parliamentary ones once an election is called, as they are no longer officially MPs) and see if I can chivvy any of them into displaying a bit of backbone for once in their useless lives when they turn up to work on Monday morning and booting May out, or think of anything more practical that I can do.
So if you hear of Theresa May having an unexpected encounter with an alligator in the bath at number 10, or a more than usually talented and good-looking Northampton man being arrested by armed officers, you will know what to think…..
Wellington says
All of which you propose, Phil Copson, and much of which I agree with (though not all, for instance your call for an “edited” Koran) cannot occur, will not occur, until one paramount development occurs first and that is that Islam, this entire damn religion, is finally recognized very publicly, including by the vast bulk of the elites in the political realm, the media and academia, as the turd in the punch bowl of world religions.
Unless Islam, all of it, is widely characterized as a simply awful belief system which is a mortal threat to liberty, then you can forget anything more than just a few tactical victories here and there, if even that. Understand, I’m with you here but the sine qua non event that must transpire is no more games about what Islam is really about.
Phil Copson says
True, Goverment has to accept Islam at it’s own valuation, instead of pretending that there is a whole different one. Just believe what Islamic scholars say themselves about the beliefs and ambitions of Islam, and not what the local muslim salesman says who is trying to sell it to you.
My comment on the Koran is just my view of how you address the problem of having muslims living in your country. Unless there is total deportation, or total conversion to a different religion, then you have a muslim population following some form of Islam, and my view for what it’s worth – (which I grant you is zip, since I don’t have the power to bring it about…) – is that if the state doesn’t ban Islam altogether, then the state has a duty only to allow a religion stripped of all violence, supremacism, and misogyny etc.
If somebody wants to dress in robes once a week and attend a building with an oversized onion on top, then that’s their business provided that it doesn’t interfere with anybody else’s human rights, but there it ends. No marches, no public “praying”, no “prayer rooms”, no special privileges, no Halal food in our supermarkets, no nothing.
Donald R Laster Jr says
The problem is people don’t want to admit to what Islam really is – a theocracy dedicated to taking over the world and imposing its laws (Shar’iah) on everyone. Islam is a disembodied State or country and its citizens are those who are Islamics. Mosques are invasion control centers. Until people admit that and realize that an Islamic can not be a loyal citizen of a non-Islamic control society no one is safe.
gravenimage says
James–with all respect–Margaret Thatcher had no problems recognizing the threat of Communism.
Twelve years after the London Tube bombings and sixteen years after 9/11, Theresa May should not have a problem with recognizing the threat of Islam, either.
Wellington says
May shouldn’t, graveniimage, but the resistance by so many to conclude that mankind got a major religion which is putrid through and through is an exceedingly strong one. Communism, by comparison, was easier to properly assess (and even here many fell for the pernicious nonsense which is the creation of Marx) because it wasn’t a religion but a secular totalitarian ideology instead of a spiritual totalitarian ideology as Islam surely is.
Islam continues to hide behind its religious veil most effectively. It shouldn’t. God knows by now most everyone should assess Islam as you and I do, but the fact that so many don’t, including very intelligent people, only testifies to the resistance I already mentioned. Indeed, this is why I have many times said that Islam is not only the longest lived evil ideology of all time but also the best disguised one, though the disguise, I do believe, is wearing thinner and thinner with each passing year, although someone like May will hardly ever conclude about Islam what you and I have———but many others are and their numbers are growing and will never go down but only continually upwards.
One last point: May is no Thatcher. No doubt here. Hope you are keeping your sanity in these insane times in which we live. Too early for a beer but not too early for a three mile run (running and beer both contribute to the keeping of my sanity). Take care, my friend.

I read it. Theresa May wants to censor the internet:
(The terrorists) are bound together by the single, evil ideology of Islamist extremism that preaches hatred, sows division, and promotes sectarianism.
I’m holding my nose already. Wait for it:
It is an ideology that claims our Western values of freedom, democracy and human rights are incompatible with the religion of Islam.
That’s what they believe and that’s where they are right.
It is an ideology that is a perversion of Islam and a perversion of the truth.
No, Theresa. No perversion to see here. These terrorists are following the true Islam. You are the lying perverter here. But now it comes. Theresa May wants to censor the internet:
…..we cannot allow this ideology the safe space it needs to breed. Yet that is precisely what the internet – and the big companies that provide internet-based services – provide.
We need to work with allied, democratic governments to reach international agreements that regulate cyberspace to prevent the spread of extremism and terrorist planning. And we need to do everything we can at home to reduce the risks of extremism online.
Third, while we need to deprive the extremists of their safe spaces online, we must not forget about the safe spaces that continue to exist in the real world.
Ed Lee says
Censorship is not the answer. Facebook, Twitter, and the other social media sites do very little to police the jihadis, and a great deal to silence Robert Spencer, Jamie Glazov, etc. No matter what the quisling politicians say about regulating cyberspace, that will not change. An informed citizenry is essential to liberty. Censoring any form of communication will only hurt us.

Yes, Warren–I picked up on the sly condemnation of freedom of speech as well.
Somehow I imagine the main victims would be those criticizing Jihad–not those practicing it.

billybob says
I will believe she is sincere when she apologizes to Tommy Robinson for years of political persecution by the state.and formally appoints him as a consultant. Please see this “Get these murderous scumbags off our streets” https://youtu.be/3ChjfFx_zLU
I listened to her speech carefully for any sign she might do something that could be effective. I was encouraged when she said all these attacks are linked by a common ideology and she almost identified that ideology, calling it “Islamist Extremism”. Then my hopes were dashed when she said that it is “perversion of Islam”. However, she sounded serious. It doesn’t matter what she calls it if she actually deals directly with the problem, so I listened carefully to her plans. However, I was immediately to be disappointed…
The very first step she spoke of – at the top of her list – was internet censorship, something that has been the wet dream of politicians everywhere for quite some time now. The internet is often so very inconvenient to them as it tends to expose their agendas of hypocrisy and corruption. The last time they had a serious go at censoring the internet was with the rise of on line child porn. They really pushed hard to use that excuse and it was very hard to maintain a free internet. The problem was the ban lists could be easily circumvented, and everybody knew that.
Now terrorism is the new compelling excuse, but the terrorists already have their own apps such as Telegram for encrypted communications, and besides that there is the Dark Web. This is often used for criminal enterprises but it is also vital for reporters to communicate from countries where free speech is repressed. You cannot censor evil on the internet without also censoring the freedom of speech that is vital in a modern democracy. It is not possible. The fact that she put internet censorship at the top of her list to me is a clear indicator that nothing useful will be accomplished by her regime in the fight against terror. It is only going to get worse for the citizens as the politicians and the power elites add more problems for us on top of the existing.
Newspeak says
As critique of islam is by default labeled “hate-speech” (=Newspeak) by almost all current Western (!) societies, and freedom of speech is being sacrificed to appease muslim and leftist voters, the only way to safely comment is by using the privacy tools the internet currently offers.
That this is not an imaginary threat, has become clear by the prosecution of critics in both the UK and Germany. It is telling that May proposes to further monitor/censor the internet. Given her track record, this will probably mean that islam critique is further oppressed, while the real issue with islam is left untouched.
Jay J. says
This is why they are trouble, the “leaders” are ignorant of the true teachings of Islam.
If they knew the true agenda of Islam, and cared about their nation, they would declare war on Islam…..but sadly, just like the apathy in the US, people are being brainwashed by the pied piper of PC propaganda and losing liberty all in the name of “tolerance”
shosh7154 says
It is soooooooooooooooo frustrating listening to leaders around the world and in the USA continue to deny deny deny the screaming truth. Where are the leaders who refuse to sell their souls to the highest bidder ?
shosh7154 says
Those leaders who deny the truth are the same as the murderers.
Kenny says
Perhaps we should all hold hands around some lighted candles and sing ‘we shall overcome’.
Yep, that’ll be about as effective in dealing with this as Theresa May’s refusal to tell the public what they already know, but daren’t say. However, she’s far from alone in her wilful ignorance.
Heather says
Islam is the poison that clouds one’s mind/conscience and deadens one’s heart and makes satan proud. Muslims have sold their souls to the devil and he’s laughing.

Beagle says
The deceitful May, Obama, Bush, Kerry, Merkel, Trudeau, and so on, approach will never work, aids in recruiting terrorists, prevents any real reform, and encourages conversion to Islam.
Claiming the latest incarnation of the jihad-martyrdom cult is a perversion of Islam can’t possibly work because the cult is based on a hyper-literal interpretation of the core texts of Islam. Modern jihadism is at its essence an Islamic authenticity movement, an effort to get back to Seventh Century application of theology. So recruiters can easily disprove May’s assertion by reference to online Qurans available literally anywhere at any time. So-called radicalization can be accomplished with little reference to anything but the Quran. Hadith, Sirah, geopolitical grievances, sex slavery perks and whatnot assist in the effort certainly. But Bin Laden used the Quran for his calls for jihad almost exclusively in his sharia-based fatwas.
May’s statements aid in recruiting terrorists because calling the Quran “a perversion of Islam” is offensive to Muslims. May seems to think peaceful Muslims are unaware of the call to jihad. So, the thinking goes, she must lie to protect thus far peaceful Muslims from their own Quran. Bollcks and twaddle. May is insulting their intelligence and their book. Muslims often lie to the kuffar about what’s in their books, but they know already. Which brings up another point: Muslims don’t give a damn what non-Muslim May says Islam is! Though they surely must contemptuously love her imbecilic obsequiousness.
May’s statements prevent reform, obviously, because if jihad terrorism is a “perversion of Islam” Islam itself is just fine and requires no reconsideration, contextualization, or reform of any kind. Western leaders have been in the thrall of Muslim Brotherhood handlers for so long they act as marionettes for their dawah and supremacism.
And finally, if Islam is peaceful and wonderful, unrelated to the endless string of mass murders, why not convert? Maybe the next group of bus attackers will spare your life, right? No other religion gets so much attention, special privileges, and great press from our leaders and media. What do you have to lose under the present self-deluded regime?
It’s easy to see how the good cop propaganda – bad cop of brutal murder dual nature of Islam has simultaneously charmed, baffled, and brutally murdered its way into power all over the world. Our leaders are too stupid or evil to combat it.
Phil Copson says
“The deceitful May, Obama, Bush, Kerry, Merkel, Trudeau, and so on, approach will never work…”
—————————————————————————————————————————-
That all depends on what you think their approach is intended to achieve; if you think that it is intended to prevent terrorism and the Islamisation of the West, then you’re right.
If you think that it is intended to keep the population quiet while the take-over happens, then it is working well; other than a bit of grumbling, the population are letting it happen, aren’t they? No marches, no riots, no politicians lynched, no sign of the famed “right-wing back-lash”, and no signs of incipient civil war. Other than the refusal of some Central/Eastern European countries to fall into line, it’s working out pretty ok for them, I’d say.
Given that everything that has happened so far was previously supposed to be impossible, how about this ? Desperate for Arab money and arms orders to finance supporting her muslim population, Merkel brokers an EU/ME/Turkish deal and unilaterally agrees to give Erdogan visa-free travel for 77 million Turks. This will finish off Europe and give the Saudis and Iranians the muslim-controlled Europe they want. As NATO members, Turkish troops then operate alongside Merkel’s “European Army” on a “security mission to protect muslims” to ensure that Poland, Hungary, Serbia,Czech Republic etc etc fall into line and accept “their share” of Third World migrants.
Because either Merkel accepts their refusal or she doesn’t, and unless she is forced from power which is unlikely, and unless her successor is of a different mind-set – also highly unlikely – then they will soon set about forcing Europe to comply with their master-plan. They can’t stop the mass migration, and since they now have a tiger by the tail and daren’t let go, they are just pretending to the electorate that it is them who is in charge and not the tiger.

No, you’re right. I do think there is plenty of evidence this is a planned population replacement. In other contexts it would be viewed as colonialism and even ethnic cleansing. But indigenous Europeans, so nobody cares.

Is Jihadism Rising in the West? Why? 040617
These are unfortunately irrelevant questions because Jihad against non Muslims was proclaimed and acted upon by Muhammad and Muslims for the last 1400 years and is MANDATED in Sharia.
Dear British/ American/ European Infidels/ Kuffar, please always remember that as Infidels/ Kuffar/ Non Muslims, you are NOT the only ones targeted for Subjugation to Sharia or EXTERMINATION by Muslims (Arabs or otherwise) hence it is VITAL that you realize that one does not need more than two brain cells of logic to understand Muslims and Islam in a nutshell~
Since every Muslim is Sharia compliant, every Muslim cannot ever be a Law abiding LOYAL citizen in ANY non Muslim nation because these nations do not submit to Allah’s Sharia.
Hence every Muslim is the mortal and eternal enemy of every non Muslim Infidel/ Kafir on planet Earth (80% of current humanity)
Every Muslim is a potential Mass Murderer the instant he/ she decides that he/she is NOT Sharia compliant enough. (just like in the current case)
I agree that Not ALL Muslims are Terrorists BUT 100% of Terrorist attacks against Infidels/ Kuffar are committed only by MUSLIMS
Every Muslim is therefore a hair trigger Time Bomb primed to go off
Only in the WARPED imagination of leftists can one find Moderate, Militant, Radical or Extremist Muslims because in reality Muslims are Muslims just as Nazis are Nazis and no one ever addressed Nazis as Moderate, Militant, Radical or Extremist
All other explanations are superfluous and redundant
It is time for every decent and patriotic person to unshackle yourselves from the pre conceived but erroneous notion that ANYONE who is not a Muslim can make PEACE with Islam.
All anyone in doubt has to do is READ only chapters 2 to 9 of Muhammad’s Quran and watch the repeated mass slaughter of unarmed innocent European and American civilians by Muslims proclaiming they are doing the butchery to PLEASE their demonic god Allah
As usual, all that Europeans get after every Islamic mass murder are platitudes, meaningless expressions of sympathy to the hapless victims by the very leaders who are unwilling to protect their citizenry because of abject denial of all Facts and Reality regarding the TRUTH

NIce to hear from you again, IQ – what really gets my goat is May’s stunning chutzpah is saying that “there has been far too much tolerance of extremism…”
Who, as Home Secretary and Prime Minister, has done more to “tolerate” and enable extremism than her?
IQ al Rassooli says
Dear Phil
Your comment is of course perfect since it was under her watch that she disallowed Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller from entering the UK while she welcomed the most despicable Muslim clerics
The worst ENEMIES of the European and American peoples are NOT the Muslim terrorists but most of our criminally negligent and treasonous elites in politics, academia, clergy and media as well as hundreds of millions of voters who elected them and keep electing the same
Change will only occur if and when “We the People” remove these bastards and replace them with Politically Incorrect patriots

So true. And the worst part is these people don’t want to face what will happen to them if the Islamics get in control. We have north Africa as an example. It was a breadbasket in the 600s and before, until the Islamics destroyed it. Even the Vandals, who focused on the Roman Catholic Church, did not do what the Islamics did. People need to remember and re-learn history. And for that history still being known we need to thank Charles Martel and his grandson Charlemagne.

7-POINT PLAN TO STOP THE ISLAMIZATION OF THE UNITED KINGDOM (UK)
It is more than obvious that the globalist UK government is using these premeditated Islamic jihad attacks as an ever increasing excuse to ramp up the UK police surveillance state, to scare the general population into submission, and to facilitate their own evil desire to turn the UK into an Islamic state. In response to the recent London attacks, UK Prime Minister Theresa May responded that, “It (Islamist extremism) is an ideology that is a perversion of Islam and a perversion of the truth.” Prime Minister May knows better… her UK government is an enemy to the UK people and must be stopped.
The UK politicians have long ago sold out their fellow citizens and Western values and are now in the advanced stages of committing their own cultural suicide by aiding and abetting the growth of Islam from within…like the malignant cancerous tumor that we all know that it is. Islam is an enemy to the UK people and must be destroyed.
The only way that the kafirs (non-Muslims) in the UK (and in the West) will ever be able to stop the Islamization of the UK, is to drive a stake through the heart of these two beasts, is to immediately implement the following 7-point plan:
– Millions of angry and motivated UK citizens, with their righteous indignation of “we’ve had enough and we are not going to take it anymore attitude,” must pour into the streets by the millions all across the UK simultaneously with their pitchforks sharpened and their torches burning bright and overwhelm every aspect of the UK government…grab every quisling politician by the hair of the head, drag them out of their hiding places kicking and screaming and brutally lock them into pillories, naked, tarred and feathered, on the steps of all government agencies. This action will finally give the millions of angry UK citizens the long overdue opportunity to vent their boiling anger on these traitors by throwing rotten tomatoes and eggs at them…verbally abusing them, spitting in their faces, and totally and completely humiliating these traitors in public. After a few days in the pillories, drag them all off to high security prisons until a new government has been put in place to serve them all a cold plate of justice.
– Islam, the Koran, and all aspects of Islamic culture (even Islamic names such as Muhammad) must be completely outlawed and purged, once and for all, from the UK as a dangerous and violent existential threat.
– All mosques, Islamic Centers, and Islamic organizations must he outlawed and shut down and boarded up.
– All Muslims in the UK must be arrested as enemies of the state (with force if necessary) and jailed awaiting deportation to some godforsaken shithole of a Third World failed Islamic state.
– The entry of Muslims into the UK, for any reason, must be stopped immediately.
– Every vestige of Islam and Islamic culture must be totally eradicated from of the UK.
– Remain vigilant…cut the heads of the two beasts and ensure that they do not grow back.

UK: May says “things need to change,” then repeats false and failed analysis that jihad is “perversion of Islam”
…………………..
Of course, “Islamism” is not a “perversion of Islam”–it *is* Islam.
At least she lauds the police who shot these Jihad scum–and actually praises British values. But what does she mean by this? Tolerance of savagery?
And the idea that Britons need to integrate with horrors of Islam is just madness.
At best, a confused and contradictory speech, and not at all the resolute declaration she no doubt believed it to be.
ibrahim itace muhammed says
mr spencer why do you think that British
pm is wrong for saying that attacks on soft targets the zionist sponsored groups call jihad is a perversion of islam?you want her to agree with your mischievous view like mad devil trump who agreed with you but later withdraws?mr spencer,can you cite any authority on islam which justifies attacks on softs targets like what isis and other terrorist groups have been doing?forget about your sentiment of hating islam and muslims and desire to see that they are banned from christian west;be fair and objective.your dream of driving muslims away from the west will never come true.Remeber millions of muslims are indigenous to the west,while you are migrant from Turkey.you are the one to pack and go back to your home country together with Gulen for promoting hatred in the west.

I suggest that Madam May go,back to 1898 and borrow some of Churchill’s commentary about Islam. He nailed it, and he was one of Britian’s greatest PMs.

That UK Government “Dement” strategy in full: “Top Terror Tsar” Cressida “Kumbaya” Dick outlines Theresa May’s exciting new “Lie, Cry, Deny.” 3-Step Strategy for Surrender…Yours to cut out and stab.
Step1. Lie: Islam is a Religion of Peace and Ramadan does not mean ramming attacks.
Step 2. Cry: Babble about “cohesion”, light candles, “We will remember you until we don’t etc.”
Step 3. Deny: “We have no idea why they did it” / “This is a perversion of a great faith”.
(surely: “The faith of a great pervert.” ? – Ed.)
(Remember: If it walks like a Dick, talks like a Dick, and cries on camera, it’s Cressida Dick!”)
Ver Auger says
The Ramadan jihad carnage has been particularly gruesome this year. Jihad is one of the five pillars of faith for practicing Muslims, and to die during the mass-murder of Kafirs is viewed by many as the highest form of “martyrdom”. This is a tenet of Islam even under the best circumstances, but the bombing and invasions of Muslim lands by “Crusader” military forces has been called a most powerful provocation of violent jihad by those who commit it.
Despite the best of intentions, every U.S. mid-east intervention from Iran to Libya to Iraq to Afghanistan has been completely futile, cost American lives and treasure, and stoked the flames of jihad against us.
I hoped that President Trump’s “America First” policy would bless us with isolationist peace and prosperity. Unfortunately, he wants to annihilate ISIS first. That little project is likely to degenerate into another endless bloody quagmire, as damaging to our economy as the first two Iraq wars were, and motivating yet another generation of Muslims to blow themselves up in our midst.
Instead of waging another war, maybe we could just rescue and airlift out the Christians and other persecuted minorities, and resettle them in the West, in exchange for Muslims who hate living among “Crusaders,” and would prefer the Caliphate’s purest Sharia.

London bridges falling down my fair lady…look up the source for this rhyme.
An error in the beginning is an error in principle.
Islam’s error was in Mecca at it’s beginnings when formed from offshoot of Christian/Judaeo teaching which had spread throughout the middle east for the 500 years prior to Islam. Several offshoots of Christianity had formed throughout the know world one of which was Arianism which denied the divinity of Jesus Christ; combined with culture and paganism formed what we know as the Koran and Islam.
Donald R Laster Jr says
Mohammad was a dedicated follower of Hubal the moon god, chief god of the Arab pantheon of 360 or gods, who is historically known as Baal. Islam is not related to Christianity in any way. It is not an offshoot of inaccurate or distorted Christian teachings, nor of Judaism. Mohammad tried to trick Jews and Christians into following his god with lies and deceptions since his god was being abandoned by people who chose Christianity and Judaism. He was rejected and switched to violence. Islam is rooted in lies and deceptions from its beginning.
The word “allah” when translated means “the god”.
ibrahim itace muhammed says
Donald it means you have nothing to say except repeating these lies that has been discarded for long
ago .If you read history you will come accross encounter between muslims and polytheists at Badr where the commander of the polytheists boasted that Hubal is their helper
.the holy prophet Muhammad instructed Muslims to reply him that Allah is helper of muslims in that war and Allah actually helped muslims where they defeated the polytheists .If Allah is Hubal the two camps will invoke the help of the same deity .Again there was no idol among the three hundred and sixty idols being worshiped by pagan Arabs then known as Allah.But they have an idol known as Hubal or Baal and they never called him Allah.where does your assumption stands now.Absolute
lie.idiot
Donald R Laster Jr says
You don’t like it when people point out the facts related to Islam’s history and source. The simple fact is that Islam, a theocracy, is rooted in the polytheist religion of Arabia from the 600s back. And “Allah” is not a name. It is like the Hebrew word “Elohim” which is used in the Jewish text to reference the god of Judaism. The word means “provider” and depending upon its use it references the god of the Jews or a person. Even today Islamic don’t like when non-Islamics used the word “Allah” (the god) to reference gods other than the god of Islam. An Islamic who uses the word “Allah” is referencing Hubal the god, or Allah, of Islam. The word “Allah” tended to be used to reference Hubal chief god of the Arab pantheon of gods. Islamics are taught to lie and you don’t like it when the lies are exposed. The Arabs of Mohammad times, as well as the Christians and Jews, knew who Mohammad’s god was and what he was about. They rejected him and he switched to murder and violence. You can engage in “taquiyya” and “kitman” all you want but the real history is there for people to find and read. Charles Martel and Charlemagne worked hard to keep the real history available as did the Byzantine Empire and Eastern Orthodox Church.
