The term Londonistan was coined by the French
embassy in London in the late 1990s, as a result of their frustration over
the lack of co-operation from the British security establishment. In December
1994, the Groupe Islamique Armé (GIA), an Algerian Moslem terrorist
organization, hijacked an Air France flight, number 8969 and threatened to
fly the plane into the Eiffel Tower. The hijacking was ended when the GIGN
mounted a raid on the plane at Marseille airport. In the fall of 1995, the
GIA carried out a series of bomb attacks on the Paris metro (subway). The
DSG, (French FBI), infiltrated and broke up the GIA in France. The leaders
of the GIA who ordered the attacks escaped to Britain. The French government
had raised numerous extradition requests for the GIA leaders only to see them
turned down by the British.
The British looked the other way as the GIA
along with Chechen, Kashmiri and Palestinian terrorists carried out there
fund raising and coordinated attacks from their London safe havens. As Spengler
mentions in his essay, the British would not take action against the Islamic
terrorists unless they started to attack Britain or British interests. The
British also took the view that as the GIA leadership who were Arabs and the
Moslem population of Britain was largely from Pakistan and Bangladesh. That
the Algerians would not radicalize the Moslems of Britain because of language
and cultural differences. They failed to see the religious connection among
the Algerians, Bangladeshis, Kashmiris and Pakistanis.
In the 1990s, because of Islam, second and
third generations of Moslems in Britain failed to successfully integrate into
wider society. Report after report, highlighted how Moslems generally performed
badly in all economic, educational and employment indicators compared to Christians,
Jews, Buddhist, Sikhs and Hindus. Moslems also felt let down by the lack of
response as to what they saw as an "attack on their religion" by
the British author Salman Rushdie. Moslems Failed to understand that Rushdie
had every right to publish his book, the Satanic verses. This sense of alienation
drove many Moslems into the arms of their Arab "brothers".
In contrast to their parents' generation who
were hard working and put family values above all else and had a secular outlook,
the Moslem youths were not interested in jobs or education. But became interested
in "liberating Palestine", and driving the infidels out of "Moslem
lands" and other Arab and Islamic causes. Their heroes were Saddam Hussein,
Yasser Arafat, Osama Bin Laden and Abu Al Zaraqwi. The political left, who
shared their views, the likes of Ken Livingstone and George Galloway, were
seen as natural allies because the left had an anti American and anti Jewish
streak.
Whether or not the British security authorities
took their eye of the ball or whether they had their eye on it in the first
place, only MI5 or MI6 knows the answer to that question. The French, Russian,
Israeli and Indian governments all clearly put their cases to the British
and warned of the consequences to Britain, if no action was taken. In the
early 1990s, local politicians of Jewish and Indian origin were warning successive
governments of what uncontrolled Moslem immigration and the absences of any
vetting of Imams would do to Britain. For they have seen at first hand what
Islam had done to their countries and region.
I travel to Britain at least once a month
and I have noticed a hardening of attitudes towards Moslems amongst the population
since 7/7. Moslems are seen as a fifth column, who's Islam is incompatible
with the modern world. Many soft Moslem apologists, including Tony Blair and
Prince Charles who use to give excuses whenever there was a terrorist outrage
in the Middle East, no longer give Moslems political cover. Only die-hard
Moslem apologists such as Galloway and Livingstone offer feeble excuses for
the worldwide acts of Moslems. Before 7/7 Charles would shower praise on Moslems
and say how we all "misunderstood Islam". Charles has not uttered
a word on Islam since 7/7. The British know only too well who has misunderstood
Islam.
9/11 and especially 7/7 can be seen as a watershed
in the UK. In my travels there since 7/7 I have had conversations in pubs
and clubs with people who consider themselves liberals. They say to me that
Moslems are the fifth column, you should not trust them and Islam is incompatible
with the modern world. Other similar statements are also made. Britons are
finally waking up and are challenging Moslems and Moslem apologists.
7/7 has also had a major impact on the European
psyche along with the French riots in the Fall of 2005. The elite in Europe
were shocked when British born, British educated young men blew themselves
up on the London mass transit system. They then saw Moslems burning the cars,
shops and businesses of their non-Moslems neighbors throughout France. Finally
they witnessed the acts of violence and vandalism by Moslems in response to
a few cartoons of Mohammed published in a Danish newspaper. Many saw this
as an assault on freedom and the freedom of the press. Added to this are the
comments made by President Ahmadinejad, the Islamofascist leader of Iran stating
"wiping Israel of the map" and the winning of Hamas in the Palestinian
elections. Many compared these events as to the Nazis being voted into the
Reichstag.
Moslem apologists no longer offer excuses
for the actions of Moslems. The state of denial that many in Europe had enveloped
themselves in has now been lifted. In recent months European leaders have
taken a tough line against Hamas and Iran. In France Nicholas Sharozy, the
interior minister is introducing a points system for would be immigrants.
Immigrants settled in France can no longer bring family members into the country
if they have no job. The Dutch government is considering banning the burqa
in public places.
Debates are going on in the bars, pubs, cafes
and beer kellers of Europe about Islam and the threat it poses to civilization.
I always offer my opinion in such exchanges.
In executing the war of Moslem terrorism,
we must above all else adhere to our democratic principals and human rights.
Moslems who carry out, condone and encourage terror and violence should be
punished. Those Moslems who do not engage in terror must be encouraged to
leave Islam. All relevant information about Islam, Mohammed, Islamic history
and core Islamic beliefs should be made available to them. With Saudi petrodollars,
Moslems have launched several satellite television channels across Europe.
A well-funded and well-organized television channels run by the apostates
should be setup to convince the large majority of Moslems who are non violent
to leave Islam.
Similarly, just because someone looks like
a Moslem, does not necessarily mean he/she is a Moslem. Many Arabs who in
the US are Christians as are most Iranians. Many have left the ancestral lands
because of Islamic bigotry and persecution. Stop and think before you descend
to the level of barbarity of Moslems.
