Terrorists Chosen Over Police

Many commentators and politicians in Britain have rightly stated that the problem of domestic terrorism in Britain is a problem that will remain unsolved until the Moslem community there stops tolerating Islamofascism in its midst. And so, on the heels of the recent mistaken shooting of a Brazilian man believed to be a terrorist by the police, the following indicates that this message has not yet taken hold, at least among Moslem organizations there.

Calls for a public inquiry were backed by the Islamic Human Rights Commission. Massoud Shadareh, a spokesman, said: "Britain is a democracy. We cannot allow police to kill people simply on the basis of suspicion and without anyone debating the policy that belongs to a police state."

And here's another:

Muslim organisations and civil liberties groups in Britain have expressed deep concern as non-whites live in increasing fear of the police whilst the general public live in fear of more terrorism in the wake of the recent attacks which have raised many unanswered questions.

Dr Azzam Tamimi from the Muslim Association of Britain says the police should review their procedures.

"Frankly it doesn't matter whether he is a Muslim or not," he said.

"He is a human being and it's human life that are being targeted, whether by terrorists or whether in this case unfortunately by people who are supposed to be chasing away or catching the terrorists."

If, by "Britain is a democracy", we take Shadareh to mean that it is a nation that protects individual rights, he is right about that fact, but wrong in the implications he draws from that fact during a time of war.

The London police were doing what they had to do to protect innocent people on a subway from someone that certain members of the Moslem community cast under the light of suspicion by their actions. Rather than slamming the London police for taking a life, Shadareh should have apologized for the fact that certain members of his faith made such action by the police necessary in the first place. His coreligionists are guilty, not of one mistaken killing, but of at least 56 intentional killings and injuries to hundreds more people.

Likewise, Dr. Tamimi is correct that the religious identity of the shooting victim is irrelevant, but wrong as well in the implications he draws. In addition to the faith of the innocent man shot by the police being irrelevant, so were those of the innocent people butchered -- by Moslems -- in the London subway system. Tamimi, should have apologized for the fact that religious intolerance on the part of some in his community has resulted in the slaughter and injury of so many innocent people already, only to be compounded by the fact that an innocent man has been killed in an attempt to stop more of the same.

Even were we to put what these Moslem apologists said in the best possible light by employing the imbecillic, bean-counting reckoning of a Molly Ivins, the Moslems are still behind by 55 corpses. But it is, in fact, worse: Anyone who dies because of anything Britain has to do to defend itself from Islamic terrorists has died as a result of what Moslems have done.

So Shadareh and Tamimi actually have 57 deaths for which they should be profusely apologizing. Furthermore, they should shut up about Britain being a police state and promise to do whatever it takes to discourage Islamic terrorism among Moslem youths in Britain. The police need support in their efforts to stop futher massacres by Moslems, not castigation from Moslems for an innocent mistake ultimately caused by Moslems.

The leaders of the Islamic community in Britain do no one but the terrorists any favors by their recent pronouncements.
