There were a series of coordinated terrorist strikes in the UK last week and my only real thought is: "Oh god, here we go again."
I'm not talking about terrorists, I'm talking about left wing apologists. Here we go again with the typical holier than thou boneheads espousing their typical bonehead theories about how Westerners are totally responsible for actions of radicals who want to kill us. It's rather insulting to think that 3000 people in the World Trade Center had it coming, but Daniel Pearl was a victim. I'm sure the fact that Pearl was a journalist has nothing to do with those media conclusions.
Already pollsters are running around asking Muslims if there is any "anti Islamic" backlash, if they're afraid of backlash, etc. Any large percentages are taken as proof that Westerners really are as racist and intolerant as everyone thinks we are. The burden is on us to fix the problem.
Talk about blaming the victim. Contrast this with how the media treats any and every story about Abu Grab or other mean things Westerners do to middle easterners. The first thing journalists do is run to Islamic Republics and ask them what they think of us.
Thus you get this weird twist where looking at Islamists funny justifies their terrorist actions and our attempt to stop them is "over reacting".
Has political correctness really turned us in to such idiots? For a lot of us the sad answer is "yes". The same people who have absolutely no problem at all with Affirmative Action (a racist policy built in to our laws) because of "white privilege" are the same people opposed to looking at the shared religion of terrorists in the West. Did I say that Muslims are the only ones who commit terrorist actions in the United States and Britain? No I did not. But whereas our law enforcement officials can watch white Neo Nazi groups with no one even complaining, Muslims are treated as if they have a special protection.
Does every Muslim support terrorism? The answer is no - but that shouldn't stop us from trying to find the ones that do. I still find it interesting - polls saying that Islamists don't trust the United States are waved around as big problems that need to be fixed while polls saying that most Islamists world wide are sympathic to terrorists are to be ignored as "racist".
We have a very serious problem here. There are people who are trying to kill civilians in the West simply because they're westerners. We have been getting lucky so far - a lot of their plots are being foiled or are just unsuccessful. But eventually, these people are going to succeed. The Lefty idea of running to these people and telling them how sorry we are and then trying to buy them off with money like they're some kind of voting block isn't working.
As typical though, big libs don't care. It's only a problem when it happens to them (again just look at how they Daniel Pearl as opposed to everyone else who's been a victim of terror.)
