First Simon Jenkins article on the importance of doing nothing

[Ash]

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.

Well they weren't really targeting Catalonians, just the barbaric tourists

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

461 Europeans have been murdered by Islamic terror since 2016. 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.

We must not change our way of life. 'that's what they want'

From all these events there has been one weird bloke who wanted revenge and tried to attack the mosque and only succeeded to kill a bloke who was conveniently already dying.

That story stinks.

In that article there is mention of terrorism and terror.

The word 'Terrorist' is never used. 'Killer' and 'Suspects', on the other hand, are.

Is he deliberately trying to avoid calling these terrorists, terrorists?

Nah, just the mysteries of consciousness. All perfectly scientific.

Oooooh, what's all this then?

Believe in the spiritual do we?

Crystals, is it?

Auras?

Dabble in a bit of .... astrology .... do we, sir?

Hmmm?

Scientific mysteries. How very empirical....
