I don’t usually write about the politics of other countries, I stick to American politics. I rarely even write about American foreign policy. I wasn’t going to write about the terrorist attack in Manchester, even though I live in the U.K.
I’m not going to say the victims are in my prayers
(even though they are). If we pray for London then why aren’t we praying for
the people of Beirut or any other place in the world where innocent people die?
Are we only praying for London (or any other country in the West) because,
well, it’s the West?
I’m not going to put a Union Jack overlay on my
Facebook page photo. This is selective mourning. It was done for the Paris
attacks but was it done for the attacks on the Russian subway system? Or the
[constant] attacks on Syria? No and no!
I’m not going to embarrass myself by using any
hashtags which people on social media seems to think it makes a difference. I’m
not a narcissist. No #manchesterbombing, #manchesterarena, #ariana, or any of
the myriad, over done hashtags.
I shouldn’t have to qualify my feelings with acts
which are basically meaningless on social media.
What I’m going to write about is how people have
become delirious to the way they treat others right after a terrorist attack.

People are criticizing the government’s policies
which lead to these attacks. Germany has pretty much an open border policy
towards migrants and they are learning the hard way. France, Paris in
particular has an open border policy towards migrants and between them, the
U.K., and Germany, are probably suffering the most.
The U.K., this is their second attack in two months. Khalid
Masood’s led him to kill four people and injured more than 50 in the murderous
attack in Westminster. Masood had a 20-year history of offending which saw him
jailed at least twice. He was born in Kent with the birth name
Adrian Elms, a local-bred terrorist.
The government’s policies toward immigration isn’t so
much about how many migrants the U.K. let’s in. It isn’t really about their
vetting system. In a way it is, but these are just the results of the real
problem with the government’s policies which is the constant bombing of Syria.
That’s the problem.
Anyone who criticizes the U.K.’s immigration policies
in any way, shape, or form is automatically labeled a racist. A xenophobe. An islamophobia.
There is no room for discussion. Most of the people still want more
immigration. Will they ever learn?
Instead of having a discussion on how to prevent this
in the future, people are outraged at the latest tweet by Tommy Robinson and
Katie Hopkins.
The attention has turned to Katie’s use of the phrase
“final solution.” According to the Independent, “Hopkins isn’t that
well-attuned to sensitivities about the Holocaust.” Since when did the Jewish
people lay claim to the phrase “final solution?"

For a moment I thought the Independent was coming to
their senses when they wrote, “she was, for once, speaking some sense behind
the usual attention-seeking interventions.” The author went as far to say, “Maybe,
to be fair, Hopkins was thinking about the various education and
de-radicalisation programmes that are going on in communities and prisons with
a view to eradicating mindsets, not people.” But then the author goes on to say
“I have my doubts, though.”
But you have to expect this when the Mayor of London,
Sadiq Khan is a Muslim himself. And you really have to
expect this when the Mayor has such a non-nonchalant attitude and makes statements
such as the threat of terror attacks are “part and parcel of living in a big
city.”
If we take the advice that Khan is giving Londoners,
then all that does is normalizes terrorist attacks and terrorism in general. To
simply make this claim about terrorism gives those arm-chair terrorists wanting
to do harm a free reign. Quran 4:95 criticizes "peaceful" Muslims
saying they're not as worthy to Allah as the ones who fight.
