In post-bombing London the P.C. brigades are out in force

LONDON Well, in less than a week, it appears the British
authorities got them! But what are they? The BBC last week edited out the
word "terrorist" in its coverage of July 7th's subway and bus bombings in
favor of the word "bombers." The BBC believed that the word would be less
offensive to certain aggrieved British groups. Yes, terrorists have
feelings, too. Now that the men who committed these grisly crimes appear to
be Islamicists with terrorist sympathies and suicidal intent, can we call
them terrorists? Can we call them Muslim terrorists? Can we call them Muslim
suicide bombers and terrorists?
London was stalwart and inspiring last week. In the aftermath of
the, dare I say, terrorist attacks, the Londoners went about their business,
vowing to apprehend the criminals and otherwise carrying on just as they had
during the war whose victory they celebrated on the weekend German
sensibilities be damned. But the longer I am in London, the more I discover
that there are unsettling undercurrents within the government and among
elites. One is the application of politically correct rules to coverage of
the news. Another is to outlaw free speech as it relates to the treatment of
Islamofascism and the bloody consequences of Islamofascism.
One of the first concerns of some after the bombing was a
concern about "backlash." Frankly, I did not know at first what the term was
supposed to refer to. Was it referring to overreaction in terms of
government action, say, London's exerting some sort of pressure against
foreign countries that harbor terrorists? Was it referring to increased
police action against the citizenry? No, it was referring to hooligans
attacking Muslims, which had not happened yet and so far has not, save for a
few broken windows at a mosque. That sort of thing is deplorable, but why
was violence against Muslims among the first concerns of British elites? The
answer is that local Muslims have orchestrated this concern.
They have been very effective. As JWR columnist Mark Steyn pointed out in the
Daily Telegraph, "In most circumstances it would be regarded as appallingly
bad taste to deflect attention from an actual 'hate crime' [last week's
bombings] by scaremongering about a non-existent one." Yet apparently, this
has been going on for some time, and now Prime Minister Tony Blair is
hustling through Parliament a so-called Racial and Religious Hatred Bill. If
passed, it would send a person to jail for seven years if he is accused and
convicted of authoring words found offensive by aggrieved religious and
racial groups, for instance, I suppose, aggrieved terrorists. Opponents
argue that it would protect Satanists and other unusual believers.
How would it affect another journalist writing recently in a
British paper, Charles Moore, former editor of the Sunday Telegraph and
London's Spectator? Recently, he quoted a Saudi imam welcomed to Britain by
Mohammed Abdul Bari of the East London Mosque. The reverend imam, a couple
of years back in Mecca, described Jews as "scum of the earth," "rats of the
world," "monkeys and pigs who should be annihilated." When the imam is
criticized by the likes of Moore, Abdul Bari furiously defends him. Moore
went on to quote the local Muslim Weekly's Sheikh Dr. Abdalqadir as-Sufi's
writing that parliamentary democracy in Britain must be replaced by "a new
civilization based on the worship of Allah," and his description of the
leader of the Tory Party as "an illegal Jewish immigrant from Romania." He
also referred to the "near-demented Judaic banking elite."
In his trenchant article noting that Islam has yet to come up
with a Gandhi or a Martin Luther King, Moore criticized another visitor to
London welcomed by London's left-wing mayor, Ken Livingstone. The visitor, a
world-renowned spiritual leader, Yusuf al-Qaradawi, supports suicide bombing
in Israel, whipping homosexuals, and killing Americans in Iraq, civilians
and soldiers alike. Research such as this could land Moore in a British
calaboose if the Racial and Religious Hatred Bill is passed.
In the West, certain groups have a knack for capturing the moral
high ground and ending debate. When the feminists did this and the gay
rights groups accomplished this, mischief ensued but nothing more damaging.
If Islam's apologists for terror accomplish this feat, the world is in for
more than mischief. London will be in for more carnage and America, too.
