Manchester: Britain Remains Paralyzed by Political Correctness
05-23-2017 Dale Hurd CBN NEWS The under-appreciated British analyst George Igler once said to me, "This accusation of racism is potentially the most powerful weapon known to man." Such is the power of the "accusation of racism" that yet another Muslim terrorist attack -- this one using nails and ball bearings on kids as young as 8 -- is not enough to bring British leaders to sufficient moral courage and mental clarity to even utter the word, "Muslim." British leaders remain more afraid of the "racist" label than of terrorism and carnage. Predictably, Prime Minister Theresa May's statement on the bombing contained no mention of Islam or the Quran, even though it has been reported that the 23-year-old British-born attacker was heard 'chanting Islamic prayers loudly in the street' outside his home in the days before the attack. The director of Sharia Watch UK, Anne Marie Waters, tweeted, "Watched the news & wish I hadn't. Its nothing short of surreal. Every single politician on there was pretending, like actors with a script." Under the spell of political correctness, the only socially acceptable responses to mass murder inspired by Islam's holy book are vague and helpless condolences, warnings against "Islamophobia," candlelight vigils and unity marches with big signs reading "Refugees Welcome!" Only a "Nazi" would disagree. Former British politician and journalist Louise Mensch tweeted today, "To all my dear Muslim brothers and sisters in Manchester and across the U.K., we got your back. Neither terrorists nor Nazis will divide us." On Twitter, "Quen Took," who describes itself as "Femme" and "Queer," genuflected with the tweet, "Don't use #Manchester incident as an excuse for Islamophobia. Stand with our beautiful Muslim siblings & don't scapegoat innocent people. " Here's a stat for you: a 2016 poll showed that only one third of British Muslims would inform police if a Muslim acquaintance became radicalized. The UK is now such a cozy place for Muslim radicals that dangerous Salafists from France are emigrating to Birmingham. Clearly, Britain's Muslim population has a problem that needs to be addressed. If British leaders had the courage to do so. read more |
Blood on Their Hands
Dave Sussman May 23, 2017 RICOCHET Tonight our hearts break for parents, their teenagers and even young children who were brutally murdered and injured for simply attending a pop concert in Manchester, England. Those of us who feel angry are justified. There is blood on the hands of politicians who refuse to admit evil exists in our midst. Violence occurs when evil is allowed to metastasize, and it has been allowed. British officials have stepped back from no-go zones because “Islamophobia.” The Mayor of London has accepted this carnage as the price for “living in a major city”. Read that again. The Mayor of one of the world’s greatest cities said this: Sadiq Khan: London mayor says terror attacks ‘part and parcel’ of living in a major city. I grew up in England, have returned many times and watched as the town of my childhood profoundly changed. There is no doubt a vast majority of immigrants are hardworking, family-minded people of good faith. But we now have a reality that the media won’t report due to political correctness, that there are extremist Sharia no-go zones across the island country that politicians and police will not address. Manchester is suffering tonight from the result of Islamism expanding across the country. On my last trip to Birmingham, I stopped for a pint at a local pub on the way to the airport and found myself in one such zone. I was practically escorted out as young Muslim men dressed like football hooligans eyed me with contempt. My guardian angel told me I had no business in that pub or neighborhood, that the “police won’t ‘elp you ‘ere, guv.” As National Review’s Andrew C. McCarthy stated, “Birmingham, a city increasingly enveloped by sharia enclaves that, to varying degrees, have become “no-go zones” for non-Muslims and agents of the state, including police.” Theresa May is up for re-election on June 8 and this act of barbarism will play a role in her campaign, as it should. For those of us parents who have taken their teenagers to concerts just like this, we have a message for politicians across the globe; It’s time to take back the narrative from those who’s national security policy’s primary concern is Islamophobia or racism. Frankly, damn them. Their political correctness will only result in more carnage, more parents mourning, and more children dying. |
