UK - The danger of terrorism deniers Simon Jenkins <http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2088-2047134,00.html> illustrates the point perfectly. Now I am beginning to wonder. Not a day passes without some new sign of Bin Laden's mesmeric grip on the governments of Britain and America. His [bin Laden's] deeds lie behind half the world's headlines. British policy seems obsessed with one word: terrorism. The West is equivocating, writhing, slithering in precisely the direction most desired by its enemy. He must be roaring with delight. Yes, bin Laden, if he's alive, must be "roaring with delight" for not a day passes in Britain without some sort of Muslim appeasement. <http://ussneverdock.blogspot.com/2005/11/britain-islamization-of-britai\ n.html> While 40% of Muslims in the UK <http://ussneverdock.blogspot.com/2006/02/uk-40-of-muslims-want-sharia-l\ aw.html> want us to adopt Islamic law, Britain has begun to do just that. <http://ussneverdock.blogspot.com/2004/12/uk-adopting-sharia-law.html> On top of that, the UK and US media are afraid to publish some lame cartoons about bin Laden's prophet. Next Jenkins tries a little smoke and mirrors. On any objective measure, terrorism in the West is a trivial crime. True, New York and London saw outrages in 2001 and 2005 respectively. Both were the outcome of sloppy intelligence. Neither has been repeated, though of course they may be. Policing has improved and probably averted other attacks. But incidents genuinely attributable to Al-Qaeda rather than domestic grievances are comparable to the IRA and pro-Palestinian campaigns. Vigilance is important but only those with money in security have an interest in presenting Bin Laden as a cosmic threat. One is speechless. Jenkins would like you to forget that while New York and London in 2001 and 2005 have not been repeated, they were in fact repeats of earlier al Qaeda terrorists attacks. The WTC was attacked by al Qaeda back on Feb 26, 1993 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Trade_Center> - almost 13 years ago to this date. And Parliament was the target <http://ussneverdock.blogspot.com/2005/07/britain-iraq-not-cause-of-atta\ cks.html> of a failed al Qaeda attack on 9/11. Al Qaeda again tried to attack Parliament last year with Sarin gas. <http://ussneverdock.blogspot.com/2005/08/britain-sarin-attack-on-parlia\ ment.html> Did the IRA ever fly planes into buildings killing thousands or did they ever use WMDs? I don't think so. Jenkins also wants us to forget about the Embassy bombings and the attack on the USS Cole and all manner of al Qaeda attacks around the world since and up to this date. Jinkins entire piece is nothing more than a parroting of the BBC's "The Power of Nightmares" which aired just six months before the "myth" exploded in London and killed over 50 innocent Britons. One thing is clear, if you listen to people like Jenkins and the BBC you wind up dead. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] -------------------------- Want to discuss this topic?
