The first anniversary of the London bombings has provided the Masters of the Universe with another platform from which to lecture us lesser, presumably thicker mortals about the evils of “Islamic terrorism” – and in the process to consciously, deliberately manufacture the “fear of the other” that permits them to strip us of the remaining human and democratic rights of which their “war on terror” has yet to rob us.
Television screens all over the global village inform us that the “Islamic terrorists will never defeat us”. Images of London’s Nazi-era “Dunkirk Spirit” are invoked, even as we are told that more of our rights are going to be taken from us. They don’t of course put it that blatantly; they say they “will do everything necessary to defeat the jihadis.” In the US, UK, Canada, EU countries and elsewhere more “anti-terror” legislation is in the pipeline.
Islam is a Religion of Peace
As Bush-Blair and cohorts implore their subjects to follow them on their war on “Islamic terror”, and them and their cheerleaders in mass-medialand label Islam as “the religion of terrorists”, it is imperative that all those who can think for themselves begin to do exactly that. And one starting point could be Blair’s recent call to so-called “moderate Muslims” to expose the “extremists” within their communities.
