First Simon Jenkins article on the importance of doing nothing

[Burney]

461 Europeans have been murdered by Islamic terror since 2015. But we should just sit tight and not even put up barriers to protect ourselves because that's 'terrorising' our cities to his mind.

I really would love to kick that man squarely in the gonads.

That appalling woman Yasmin Alibhai-Brown was wringing her hands about it yesterday with the words 'What have Catalonians ever done to muslims?', thus clearly suggesting that the rest of us basically deserved it.

However relevant or not-relevant the approx one-to-two million deaths in Muslim countries resulting from recent conflicts initiated by US-UK-France and some other NATO outlets may be in this discussion, the above could equally be making the point that the 'revenge on crusaders' argument sometimes made by IS/AQ and their ilk is utterly specious.

Hmm but I was a told it's nothing to do with Islam.

But they don't make that argument. In Dabiq they made it clear that they would still kill us regardless of our foreign policy. They don't kill us because of what we do, they kill us because we exist.

The only people who actually think ISIS attack us because of our foreign policies are western-based lefties keen to excuse muslim extremism and condemn western nations.

It's the 'poor man's guided missile' apparently.

Yes. The idiocy in that article was so general that I missed quite how stupid that analogy was.

I have no idea who the bloke is but the article veers between stupid and pointless, frequently embracing both.

Who gives a **** if we have to put up a few barriers?

This statue stuff in America is annoying the **** out of me as well, not least because I have ended up agreeing with Donald ****ing Trump......
