There are reports that a clean-shaven white man drove a van into a crowd of Muslims who had just left evening prayers in London. There are two probable explanations. First, the man is not Muslim and had decided to get 'payback' for the multiple attacks in recent weeks. Second, the man is Muslim and viewed the Muslims from this particular mosque as hypocrites. The first of those two options is more likely. If so, what does that portend?
The British government has been hapless in addressing the long-standing and growing issue of domestic Islamic terrorism. Worse, in the wake of every attack, the politicians defend Islam with claims that it is a religion of peace. Those claims have worn thin. The attacks are increasing in frequency and each new attacker proves to be a known wolf whom the government had investigated and set free. One of the June 3rd attackers - Khuram Shazad Butt - had appeared on a documentary last year called The Jihadis Next Door but he was somehow still on the loose to inflict death and mayhem. The government has demonstrated not only an inability to protect the citizens but an unwillingness to do so because recognizing the cause would be politically incorrect.
Islamic-based attacks in England this year:
March 22: 5 killed, 29 injured
May 22: 22 killed, 119 injured
June 3: 8 killed, 48 injured
Islamic-based attacks in European countries this year:
England: 3 attacks, 35 killed, 196 injured
France: 7 attacks, 4 killed, 6 injured
Germany: 3 attacks, 2 killed, 1 injured
Italy: 2 attacks, 4 injured
Russia: 4 attacks, 20 killed, 50 injured
Sweden:1 attack, 5 killed, 14 injured
With all that in mind, some idiot decided to take matters into his own hands and start killing Muslims in retaliation. More such idiots will appear with each new terrorist attack. The utter failure of a feckless government to address the problem, even deny the source of the problem, has left a desperate population with no recourse.
Islam and Western values are not compatible but to admit that would be to also admit the goal of multiculturalism is a failure. The dream of multiculturalism is a belief that many cannot let go even as it destroys their culture and kills them.
