Don't think the future cannot be at hand:
The London neighborhood of the author's youth, Finsbury Park, is now one of the breeding grounds for a new phenomenon: the British jihadist. How did a nation move from cricket and fish-and-chips to burkas and shoe-bombers in a single generation?


how'd that happen in just a generation? easy: a nation made of ice cream. who unquestioningly followed and swallowed the leftist multiculti line they were spoonfed; who shouted down the old men who warned that *precisely this* would happen; who refuse to look at history or even THINK about applying history's lessons to today; who - grinning like the befuddled sheep they are - kept re-electing the treasonous swine that engineered the country's fall, all for the sake of a few more votes; who think with their slogans and their hopes and their wishes. they let in the vermin they were *warned* would destroy their country because they wanted to be "nice". they didn't want to be "mean", you see. insistence on high standards can be so *unpleasant*, old bean.
they then refuse to discuss or look at or even acknowledge the mess they created. but hey! **surely** that can't happen HERE.

Right on BB. Mark Styne also wrote a great article on May 1. His thesis, which of course he puts much better than I could, is basically this: the enemy is uninterested in and not at all good at, logic. Instead they are blindly dedicated to their cause, our defeat and their victory. That means they will win while we sit around trying to make debating points. As he kind of puts it: a sharp and sarcastic wit like Oscar Wilde would have no chance in a subway car late at night against a tough young man with a knife. It can be found through PJM today.

Whaaaaaaaaaa~! Scary!
Quick, someone hand me a new diaper, I think I crapped my pants.
Would anyone please explain to me how the "jihadist" threat we face today is any more difficult to deal with than the crime waves we faced in the 80s or the gang problems of the 90s? Do you think the Crips and the Bloods, or for that matter the John Gottis and the Cosa Nostra, were somehow less dangerous and less destructive on a whole? And yet you guys always manage to completely pass out from terror at every new "emerging threat", then run off and invade 3rd World countries in the Middle East, telling yourselves that killing Saddam/Assad/Ahmadinejad will save us all.
It's both breath-takingly paranoid and breath-takingly stupid. I can't wait for Democrats to take back the reigns and actually solve the Islamicist problem, rather than just talking big and getting our troops killed.

What is really amazing is the fact that we can have these guys on film, plain as the nose on your face, saying things about gays and women that would have anyone else in jail and yet these immams get a pass. Not just a pass they have libs that will sit there watch the tape and then look you right in the eye and say thats not what they mean or they didn't really say that. We are living in a surreal time in this country.
I think Matt and Tray of South Park did a very good episode that sums this all up. They showed everyone terrified of muslims but instead everyone burried their heads in the sand. Then they showed that the left in this country finds it perfectly alright to make fun of other groups just not muslims. If you get a chance watch it.

Why is it Zifnab you are willing to believe as fact that there is a vast right wing neocon plot to take over the world when not one neocon leader has gotten on tv and said " we the neocons will take over the world ". And yet, you sit here and ignore and deny such statements from muslims? Major islamic leaders get up in front of TV cameras and make those kinds of statements. What is it about them that makes you not believe them when they say those things. Why don't you think they mean it. Why can't you accept the idea that even if you don't think they mean it many angry, young muslim men do? I am not trying to belittle you, I really want to know why you refuse to take these people at their word.

Zif, could you do me a favor? Please tell me about a crime wave that killed about 3000 people in one day. You can't? Then why don't you stop writing complete and utter nonsense? BTW, did you read Styne?
Posted by: Fred Beloit | Friday, May 11, 2007 at 10:19 AM
Ziffy is just too stupid to realize that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. The exact same thing will soon be happening in the US, well, it is happening as we speak. Just not as bad as Britain.
Yeah, Zif, you crap your diapers every time a Christian is mentioned. You're so scared the evil Christians will try to make same sex butthole screwing illegal again. You and Kel and HairyBob ought to have a conference, and see if you can get the radical Muslims to kill the evil Christians for you. That would solve your problem. Uh...well..until your Muslim buddies realize what you are doing. Then...pop, there goes your little noggin, Ziffy.

Temp, you realize, don't you, that a meeting of Zif, zerodegreeskelvin and the Boob would only involve two people?

Zifnab still waiting for an answer.

How exactly can you prevent these jihadists from becoming jihadists? I hear a lot a panic and "see its happening in london" but what the hell is the cure?

i believe evan sayet has posted some really good, thought-provoking commentary as to why liberals - champions of women, gays, and mental defectives; enemy of state-sponsored religion above all things - why liberals reflexively defend the system - islam - that features hatred towards *everything* they say they stand for. witness ziffy's pavlovian defense of the islamic dogs: "sure they systematically beat women and hang queers, but look at the crips! and the mafia! and at least they're not as bad as bush!!"
no matter. someone asked ziffy a direct question, so, like the chickenshit bitch she is, she ran away.
if you ever want to hear a *really* interesting analysis of the liberal mindset, and have 45 minutes to spare, go to youtube and search for evan sayet. not you, ziffy: you wouldn't understand.

Barrasso the first step in stopping it and curing it is to get everyone thats not a muslim to get on the same page. We need to stop being in such denial about the fact that there is a serious attempt by a rather substancial group of muslims to impose their view of things on the rest of the world. The use every means at their disposal both peaceful and violent. Once we in the West can agree that its a problem we can talk about the solutions. We have to go after this in the schools, in the homes and anywhere else it pops up. We can't just treat this like a simple crime any more nor like the mob. We need to go after it just like we went after the Klan in the 60's. We broke them to a large extent, not perfectly by any stretch, but we really knocked them into the dirt where they belonged. Watch Mississippi Burning some time and see how Hackman handled those guys and you see how I want to go.

In a nut shell, this is a fight to the death. Arm yourself.
Death before Dishonor.
