Shock treatment

In July 2005 the British were “shocked” to discover that a group of four “British born lads” were terrorist bombers. At the beginning of July 2007 the British were even more “shocked” to discover that two immigrant doctors working in British hospitals for the National Health Service were terrorist bombers. A day later the Brits were even more “shocked” when they found out that the two terrorist immigrant doctors working in British hospitals for the National Health Service were members of a group of eight terrorist immigrant doctors working in British hospitals for the National Health Service.

I want the Brits’ shock never to let up. I want it to go on increasing and increasing until they can’t stand it any more, until their idiot liberal picture of the universe collapses, until their belief in the benignity and harmlessness of Muslims—which is of course the very source of their shock—explodes. At that point the British will cease being “shocked” and start thinking and behaving like rational men who want to defend their country from its enemies.

Your words are shockingly good.

Karen writes from England:

There is very little discussion about the bombers amongst the general public. There was no one killed or harmed and so no-one feels the effects and it is just forgotten. It barely reached consciousness. People will have to feel the effects of terrorism before there is a significant change in attitude, such is their complacency.

The only people who are concerned are the Third World immigrant doctors who are afraid there will be obstacles put in place to make it more difficult to for them to remain and work in the land of milk and honey. All the Hindus are now putting “Religion: Hindu” on their CVs lest they be mistaken for Moslems and the Moslems are worried that no-one will want to hire them. I think their worries are misplaced, the NHS hires anyone and often the worse the better. There are very few checks done and any type of police records from Third World countries can be obtained by bribery and indeed most other documents can as well. The NHS hires people who are rejected for work in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates because they are insufficiently qualified and it makes fewer checks than these countries do on physicians’ qualifications and experience. It employs doctors based in Syria who fly in for a few weeks of work and people from India who have never worked in Britain, don’t know the system or culture and are utterly incompetent.

Terrorists will definitely strike again and the Government is going to do NOTHING to stop it.

Perhaps Karen is not seeing enough people or just watching one news channel. She is simply WRONG about what is happening in Britain since last week’s terrorist acts. There is ENDLESS discussion about the bombers in Britain. It is NOT “just forgotten.” It HAS made a deep impact (as did 7/7) on people. It CERTAINLY reached consciousness among the British public.

The problem is NOT that people haven’t felt the effects of terrorism. As I have said, the problem is that the UK indigenous mainstream have the (correct) perception that the Muslim terrorists are a minority and that the majority of Muslims do not support their acts.

What must be emphasised to the mainstream is the relation of Muslim terrorism to Islam itself; in other words how Islamic religion and Muslim culture are directly linked to Muslim terrorism EVEN IF MOST MUSLIMS DO NOT SUPPORT IT.

I write from England; I don’t expect you remember, but we corresponded a few months ago on Greek-derived compound words. [LA: That was a discussion of the proper spelling of gyneocracy.]

Karen is both right and wrong that there is little discussion about the terrorist doctors. There is little discussion, because there is no need. You don’t come across anyone who does not feel only distaste and disdain for Muslims and Islam. Nobody likes them, nobody admires them, nobody expects anything better from them, and everyone would be very glad to see them gone. There is discussion, but limited to brief concurrence on some variation of the propositions in the previous two sentences; beyond that, there is nothing to discuss.

Of course we could be discussing how to get rid of them, but the general sentiment is implicitly that one wouldn’t care how they went as long as they went; but it never will be. People don’t rise up in revolt at the slow soft suffocation of contemporary socialism, they just lose their enthusiasm, their energy and their independence. No one cares any longer, as there is nothing left of England to care about.

LA replies:

I must say to Timothy that when people say things like “there is nothing left of England to care about,” that is a terrible thing to say. It means admitting complete defeat. It is simply not true and one should never say anything like this. I’ve never seen an instance where the expression, “Seeing only the empty part of the glass, and not seeing the full part,” was more relevant.
