| Message to the British Muslims of South-Asian origin |

| Paki Come Home ! By Dr Koenraad Elst After the timely folding of yet another Islamic terror plot, the public’s attention is focused once more on the “Paki problem”. Over twenty Muslims have been arrested in connection with the alleged discovery of preparations to blow up a set of airplanes on trans-Atlantic flights starting from London Heathrow. They are mostly holders of British citizenship, born in Britain though of South-Asian origin, and from well-settled families. To their British neighbours, fellow students or colleagues, they must have looked like success stories in terms of integration into British society. And yet, they secretly wanted to terminate the lives of hundreds of anonymous Britons, not excluding those same unsuspecting neighbours. This is only one incident, though apparently a very sizable one. We may even concede that the incriminating evidence is not fully in yet, so we shouldn’t judge in haste. But then, it is only one incident among many. The German police have just folded a Muslim plot to blow up trains, and worse than the failed terror attacks are all those that have succeeded. Remember the trains blown up in Madrid, the tourist centres blown up in Bali, the murder of Theo van Gogh in Amsterdam, and so many others. Specifically Pakistani connections were in evidence in the 1993 and 2001 attacks on the WTC in New York, on the public transport system of London on 7-7-2005, and in the endless series of terror attacks in India: buses stopped and all non-Muslims shot every other month in Jammu & Kashmir; repeated bomb attacks on trains and public buildings in Mumbai, from the big international trend-setter of 12-3-1993 (many synchronous explosions) to the latest one on 11-7-2006; on a political meeting in Coimbatore 1998; on Parliament buildings in Srinagar and Delhi in 2001; on temples in Gandhinagar, Ayodhya and Varanasi (the details of the latest temple attack in Imphal remain to be discovered); on a Diwali shopping crowd in Delhi, and so on. |

| #4 One of the things we were told early after 9/11 was that Muslims don't like to judge the "righteousness" of other Muslims; thus we wouldn't see Muslims arguing against the terrorists. Of course, we've seen what a complete and utter lie this is; Islam has as many divisions as any other faith, and they have no problem slaughtering each other over the differences. Word, RC. I've had my fill of this crap. Islam refuses to be held responsible for its wrong doings. I'm sick of us expending blood and treasure to bring Islam to account. Time to dismantle this pathological meme wholesale. |

| #3 As I have always asked; Where are the Moderate Muslim™ imams and clergy who are willing to martyr themselves by going amidst their jihadist brethern and laying their lives on the line to take back this so-called "peaceful" [spit] religion from such blasphemers? That form of martyrdom -- the form that matches the word's true meaning -- is against Islam. One of the things we were told early after 9/11 was that Muslims don't like to judge the "righteousness" of other Muslims; thus we wouldn't see Muslims arguing against the terrorists. Of course, we've seen what a complete and utter lie this is; Islam has as many divisions as any other faith, and they have no problem slaughtering each other over the differences. So the only real conclusion is that Muslims don't argue against the terrorists because they approve of them. And, frankly, I've watched it happen, with a self-declared "Moderate Muslim", born and raised in Australia, refusing to condemn Osama bin Laden. At first it was "we only have the accusations of others, and it's against Islam to make false accusations". Once it was pointed out that bin Laden had admitted his role, it was "well, I've heard it argued that the tape's fake". Even pointing to the admissions -- undisputed, in AQ's own communication -- over the African embassy bombings was met with denial and conspiracy theorizing. |

| #2 Why not go to the centres of militancy and repeat those sermons there? We don’t mean some perfunctory “open letter” meant for non-Muslim consumption, but an earnest effort to persuade the militant Muslims, one that doesn’t stop until the goal is reached. We suspect you have so far never tried this because in your heart of hearts, you are perfectly aware that Islam does condone these acts. As I have always asked; Where are the Moderate Muslim™ imams and clergy who are willing to martyr themselves by going amidst their jihadist brethern and laying their lives on the line to take back this so-called "peaceful" [spit] religion from such blasphemers? [crickets] Until there is something better than a thundering silence in answer to this question, Islam is worthy only of extermination. |
