Stand up to be counted

From News of the World:

Blasting a passenger airliner out of the sky, killing hundreds of innocent men, women and children, is NEVER acceptable. Under any circumstances. There is NEVER an excuse.

A terrible tragedy costing Muslim lives in Lebanon or Iraq or Afghanistan is never ever an excuse for terrorism here.

It is totally unacceptable, totally wrong. What one party perceives as a wrong, no matter how strongly they feel, does not, in turn, justify another wrong being done to avenge it.

And until every single member of the Muslim community believes that and preaches that—from an ordinary parent to imam or madrassa teacher—terrorism can't be beaten.


READ

No quarrel with imploring the Muslim community to accept responsibility for this grave problem and assist in its defeat, but if terrorism can't be beaten until “every single member” of the Muslim community believes and preaches against it, then, given recent statistics on Muslim assimilation in Britain (see post below), there is no hope. But the terror MUST be beaten. Therefore, any strategy for defeating it must take into account the stark reality that a sizable portion of the population you desperately need behind you is and will be against you.
