I guess this ongoing
pattern was set in motion just two months after 9/11, when
Muslims raised a ruckus that the U.S. Post Office forgot to
include in its holiday-stamp poster the new Eid al-Fitr stamp (an Islamic
winter holiday). The Russian language has a word that's a stronger version
of "gall" or "chutzpah." The term is "naglost," and it's when you defecate
on someone's doorstep then ring the bell to ask for toilet paper.
ArabicNews.com reports: "Speakers
from 22 countries around the world are attending the festival, representing
Christian and Jewish faiths as well as an array of cultural, ethnic, professional
and ideological trends. London Mayor Ken Livingstone, former Iraq hostage Norman
Kember and the BBC's security correspondent, Frank Gardner, who survived an
attack in Saudi Arabia, are among those sharing the platform with many prominent
Muslims."
So all these chumps are converging on London this week to dutifully assuage
Western suspicions and insist that there's no need for whatever vigilance
we may have left in us, proving that Islam isn't a threat, but merely our
future. The Muslims should keep killing us just for being stupid.
"A corresponding economic conference to promote London as a center for investment
for the Islamic world is also being held in Carnary Wharf in east London."
Which is just grand. With Western nations already dependent on Muslim countries
for oil, let's make our economies hinge on Muslims even more, so we have
even less wiggle room to piss them off by fighting terror. (For example,
a 116-page report by
the London-based Islamic Human Rights Commission released this week equates
the British government's anti-terror measures to a "latter-day witch-hunt" of
Muslims, and recommends repealing existing anti-terrorism legislation,
disallowing ethnic profiling and not using words like "extremism.")
Ihtisham Hibatullah, of the Muslims Association of Britain, which planned IslamExpo,
said that mainstream Muslims would be "condemning terrorist atrocities
taking place in London and elsewhere against innocents...There will be
a strong message from the mainstream Muslim community against all violence
by extremists."
Just as the new UN Human Rights Council has done this very week! The body yesterday
voted on a resolution that condemns Israel and dispatches a special fact-finding mission
to Gaza.
To wit, among IslamExpo's main speakers will be Palestinian-born Azzam Tamimi,
who in a 2004 BBC interview said that he would sacrifice himself for the "noble cause" of
Palestine if he "had the opportunity….Millions of people say this around
the world."
Expo spokesman Anas Altikriti reiterated that the conference is intended to "build
bridges" between Muslims and non-Muslims, adding "I think I speak on behalf
of all at IslamExpo in saying we are extremely proud to have Dr. Tamimi involved." I
guess we know at least one bridge they want to build with the non-Muslim world.
(The 116-page report likewise calls for the British government to stop its
occasional objections to Israel-bashing.)
The only Brit who didn't play nicely this week was Tony Blair who, according
to BBC, "called on moderate Muslim leaders to speak out more against extremists
within their communities. But Muslim Council of Britain secretary general
Dr Muhammad Abdul Bari accused Mr Blair of playing an 'unhelpful blame
game' by suggesting moderate Muslims were doing too little to challenge
extreme views."
So just when Blair mustered a testicle to tell Muslims instead of being
told by Muslims, the new rule is you can't even say that Muslims don't
speak out enough against Islamic violence.
Western nations will prevail in the War on Terror, and they'll be
very peaceful Islamic countries. CRO
