It’s nice to see that Cameron can actually say that this is Islamic extremism. He has seemed to recognize the threat from extremist Islam, which isn’t just from the violent ones, but also from those who are “mostly peaceful”, and want to replace our modern first world societies with their repressive, regressive, 7th century notions, and use our own laws, rules, and mores against us. Obama can’t even say it
(Newsmax) Obama on Tuesday called the killing of the pilot “one more indication of the viciousness and barbarity of this organization.”
The president avoided associating the militants with Islam. “It also just indicates the degree to which, whatever ideology they’re operating off of, it’s bankrupt,” Obama said.
It’s a simple concept: they are operating within the ideology of fundamentalist Islam. The quote is also available many other places, such as Politico, for those Leftists who want to question the delivery source.
(UK Daily Mail) The threat posed by the ‘disease’ of Islamic extremism will last for a generation, David Cameron warned today as he rejected claims Britain was not doing enough to take on ISIS.
In an exclusive interview with MailOnline, the Prime Minister insisted the government was doing all it could to ‘defeat the monstrosity of Isil’.
But he warned it would require ‘long-term determination and perseverance’ in a fight which might not end in his lifetime.
It requires two main things; first, the so called “moderate Muslims” will have to say “no more in my name”. We aren’t asking for an apology. They shouldn’t have to apologize for the way some within their religion act. But, they have to fight back. They are not being blamed, but, sadly, one does have to wonder about these moderate Muslims and what they really believe when so few will condemn the actions of hardcore Islam.
Second, it requires Leftists world wide to acknowledge the problem emanating from the Islamists. We’ve discussed this many times, noting that the Islamists stand against almost everything Leftists do, yet, most Leftists refuse to condemn Islamists, often trot out the notion that they really aren’t Islamic (contradicted directly by what groups like ISIS, al Qaeda, the Muslim Brotherhood, and others say and write), and typically like to deflect to “hey, Christians did something bad!!!!!!!”. That last one is an interesting argument for two reasons
- Killings and bad actions from Christians are rarely done in the name of God and/or Jesus
- They are blaming the entire Christian religion for the actions of a few, but freak out when anyone condemns the hardcore Islamists, saying it is wrong to blame all Muslims (which isn’t usually what is being blamed).
Back to Cameron
He insisted countering the threat was about more than just military action. ‘We have got to go after the hate preachers, we’ve got to go after the radicalisation.
‘We have got to stop people travelling to Syria, we have got to prosecute those who have been and been radicalised and would do us harm.
‘You have seen actually a big growth in the number of people in Britain who have been prosecuted and convicted for Islamist extremist violence ’And we need to keep up our guard.’
Mr Cameron has read detailed reports of the latest video, in which al-Kassasbeh was set alight, but he has not actually watched it in full.
He did, however, view the footage of British hostages being beheaded last year.
‘These videos are absolutely horrific and depraved,’ the Prime Minister said.
‘And obviously I take the time to make sure I take the time to see what they are doing so I understand what families have been going through.’
Asked if Britain would be free of the jihadist threat in his lifetime, he admitted it was a battle which would last many years.
‘I think the threat of Islamist extremism is a threat that we are going to face throughout this generation.
‘It is going to be years rather than months.’
The threat from the Islamists has always been around, but has been truly growing as the world modernized, travel and relocation became easy, and societies started implementing “diversity” and “multiculturalism”, allowing the hardcore Muslims to spread with ease within 1st World nations, again, using our own laws, rules, and societal mores against us. Any complaint is called “Islamophobia”. They do all they can to restrict speech.
While ISIS could be defeated eventually in Iraq and Syria, the ‘disease’ of Islamic extremism is spreading around the world and is harder to contain, he warned.
‘What we have seen with Islamist extremism whether it is in Mali or Somalia or Afghanistan is that the disease is not necessarily the individual country.
‘The disease is the Islamist extremism and that’s what we have to fight, that’s the narrative that we have to beat.
The violent Muslims are an immediate danger. The ones who are spreading through softer means are a threat to the later, as they change our systems.
