Political Correctness is the Incubator of Islamism
by Amil Imani
14 Feb, 2007
Time and again we are told by the politically correct “experts” not to worry about Islam posing a threat to our way of life. We are repeatedly lectured that only a very small minority of Muslims are troublemakers who are giving the peaceful masses of Muslims a bad name. We are also informed that the terrorists, who happened to be Muslims, are the disaffected and the young. And not to worry, since as the fire of youth turns to ashes of old age the rebellious will mellow, as they always have.
With heavy assurances like this, coming from so many know-it-all authoritative figures, we can sleep soundly without the aid of sleeping pills. After all, people reason that these pundits are “experts” whose job is to know and tell it like it is. Those who voice contrary views must be a bunch of racist, alarmist hate mongers. Who is right?
Wouldn’t be more prudent to let the facts settle the matter, rather than blindly accepting either position? Of course it would, except for one huge problem. In the face of threats, people tend to go to the mind’s medicine cabinet and take a few denial and rationalization pills, in the same way that it is the aspirin bottle they turn to when a headache strikes. Why not? We are the Easy Species. We love effortless, quick and simple solutions. And that’s not invariably bad. It has given us all kinds of labor and time saving devices.
Yet, the Islam problem is very real and deadly. Neither the pronouncements of the experts, nor the tranquilizing pills of the mind can make it go away. It is here and it shows every sign of imposing itself on us.
Europe is already badly infected with Islamism. It is the coal-miners’ canary. It is telling us that the next stop is America. We must act and act now. We must not sacrifice our cherished way of life and the lives of our children at the altar of political correctness: the incubator of Islamofascism.

I am British even though I don't live in London I think that ambulance crew member who spotted the car last night should be commendated he saved a lot people last night from being killed or seriously injured. The news said that 60 liters of petrol and nails and gas canisters were found in the mercedese benz that would have destroyed buildings aswell as loss of life. These people want to try and destroy our democracy and way of life and we Brits will not let them we managed to defeat Hitler during World War II we will defeat them in the war on Terror.

It show that even our governments try to do their best to protect their citizens and quest while living in that country. It is up to the citizens to look out for each other. But we as citizens must stand behind our governments as they must work together to build policy to help people that cannot help them self and their governments.Only by this support will our world be a better place to live.

How many more questions about this story. They have been on here every second. We all know that London had two bombs which did not go off. They was defused by the police.

Sounds like "home grown" amatuers- to me. Al-queda "wanna-be's"... Dangerous ENOUGH, & there are probably MORE- too, but nothing to get into a panic about. It's just the "way" of the new World... :(

I did not want to comment on what it may have been, but I did acknowledge the great job of detecting such a thing in good time..

Small time terrorists doing what they have been doing for over thirty years.
Best way to stop this is right before they are being born.

I don't know if it was terrorist or not, but the intent was there.
I think it just shows that it is getting more dangerous by the day regardless where you live.

Another one will take its place. They always do.
I'm not worried. After all, we brought this on ourselves--by declaring war on the Muslim people and their way of life.
