MUSLIM DENIAL IN LONDON MEMORIALS

Just a year ago when the bombs went off in London Underground many ordinary British people were filled with hatred for Islam, the religion which motivated the bombers.

This particular form of Islam has become known as Islamofascism. It IS Fascism.

At best many people were CONFUSED about Islam. If so peaceful how come this?

But for many years the British Labour Party and the British and Irish neo-left have been attacking Israel and supporting those very same Islamofascists, otherwise known as "Palestinians".

Abbas the present President of the Palestinians and head of Fatah gained his doctorate by writing a thesis which denied the Holocaust.

Hamas, which the majority of "Palestinians" has just elected, is an arm of the Muslim Brotherhood.

All of these dhimmi groups in Britain have worked to hide the role of Islam in these bombings. It seems that this consistent position is very closely connected to their dhimmi hatred for Israel.

Amir Taheri of The Wall Street Journal has an interesting piece on this. This is an extract (July 7, 2006):

Muslim Matryushka

LONDON — Set within Regent’s Park, the Queen Mary’s Garden is home to the world’s largest collection of roses. Today, the garden will serve as the stage for a ceremony marking the first anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the underground and bus services here, in which 52 people died and more than 700 were injured.

Originally envisaged as a grand event with the queen and government leaders present, the ceremony has been rescripted as “a simple, sober event” to please a multicultural elite gripped by self-loathing. The queen has been advised to stay away, along with Tony Blair and other leading political figures. There will be no mention of the fact that the four suicide bombers involved in the 7/7 tragedy were British-born Muslims. Nor will the grieving families invited to the ceremony be told that their loved ones were victims of a global Islamofascist movement.

The rose garden is a few hundred yards from Regent’s Park Mosque, Britain’s largest. However, the idea for a 7/7 ceremony at the mosque, aired in January, was dropped when Muslim leaders said such a move could be exploited by “the enemies of Islam.” Some leaders have gone further, calling on their coreligionists not to break their noontime prayer (salat) to observe a two-minute silence on Friday, decreed by the government in remembrance of the 7/7 victims.

Rather than using the occasion to combat Islamofascism as the enemy of both Western democracies and Muslims everywhere, Muslim leaders and organizations in Britain have been in denial, or else have adopted a posture that could be described as “yes-but-however.” The posture starts with a “yes” — the mass murder of innocent people is, indeed, a horrendous crime. It then proceeds to a “but” — a claim that the terrorists had legitimate grievances ignored by a British government that shares the blame for the tragedy. Finally, it snakes to “however” — unless Britain recasts key aspects of its policies, it could expect more attacks.

This exercise in ambiguity is reflected in the Pew Global Attitudes Project, which has found that Muslims in Britain hold far more negative views of the West than Islamic minorities anywhere else in Europe. A majority of Britain’s estimated 1.8 million Muslims found Westerners to be “selfish, arrogant, greedy and immoral.” Just over half said Westerners were violent. Only 32% of Muslims in Britain had a favorable view of Jews; the same figure for French Muslims was 71%. Across the world, the attitudes of Muslims in Britain more resemble those in radical Arab countries than those in the West. "

This writer has got it exactly correct especially this comment about the ceremonies being used to keep ordinary people away from understanding the real nature of Islam and of Islamofascism.
