Terrorizing the troops in the UK

| February 10, 2015

Our buddy, Aunty Brat sends us a link to her piece on threats of terrorism targeting troops at home in the UK. From BBC comes the story about Brusthom Ziamani who was on his way to behead some soldiers. Luckily, he stopped off to tell his girlfriend about his intentions. She wasn’t as enamored with the idea as he thought she would be;

Giving evidence from behind a screen, the former girlfriend told the court Mr Ziamani had turned up at her home several times and showed her the hammer and knife wrapped in the flag.

She said: “I asked why he had these and he said ‘me and the brothers are planning a terrorist attack’. I said what, like a bomb or something and he said ‘no, a soldier or a member of government.”‘

The jury was told their relationship had ended after he converted to Islam and began wearing Islamic clothing.

“He said things like when the Lee Rigby murder happened, he respected the people that had done it,” she told the court.

From the Daily Mail, comes the story of two female Army cadets who were threatened as they left their training center;

Police have mounted uniformed patrols around an Army Reserve after two girl cadets were threatened with beheading as they left the centre.

Two men had shouted the violent threats as they drove past the teenage cadets, who weren’t in uniform at the time.

[…]

It comes weeks after British police forces warned officers not to wear uniforms on the way to work after an ISIS-style plot to kidnap and behead an officer.

More than 7,000 officers in the West Midlands were warned they were in imminent danger following an anonymous telephone call to their headquarters on December 8.

Other forces urgently reviewed safety precautions and warned officers not to wear their uniform or ID badge when off duty.

I’m pretty sure that someone threatening to behead a couple of women on the street aren’t from the local Church of England parish. But, it looks to me like the war has followed the troops home. I guess the Left is OK with fighting them here, though.

“I guess the Left is OK with fighting them here, though.”

I think it’s more than that, Jonn. The left has bent over backwards to accomodate muslims here in the US and, to a greater extent, The UK and France. The President makes sure to get that point made, as he did just last week, once, again. You will not find the left making the same overatures towards Christians that they have to muslims. How many Christian chapels have been put up in public colleges, lately, with public money? I can tell you how many special foot baths have been put in around the country at public colleges specifically for muslim men to wash their feet before prayer. In puplic schools, I have seen special rooms set aside for muslim kids to use during EID and Ramadan, yet those same schools lose their shit if a couple of kids get together to pray as Christians before school. The left loves citing their “separation of church and state”, when going against anything Christian, but have never made a peep about muslim anything. Soak a crucifix in urine and call it “art”? No problem. Have a feces smeared Virgin Mary? That’s considered “edgy”. Do anything to a Koran? Heads, literally, will roll.

Yep. Just as long as they keep voting their guys into office.

Oh, make no mistake. The left have no desire to fight them here. They’re welcoming them with open arms, while denying the rest of us the right to bear any in response.

We have many imitators of Chamberlain. The difference is that modern imitators are worse in the sense that the Left is appeasing the terrorists unilaterally, without even a promise, however falsely given. Oh, there is another difference: the Left isn’t keen on umbrellas or bowlers, by and large.

And this is what happens when you have a Gubbment disarmed society.

Indeed. Somehow I doubt that the police would have to be hiding their profession if they were armed at the very least. Or perhaps the terrorists would think twice about their plans if they knew people were armed and ready to defend themselves.

Perhaps we should take a leaf out of the “middle eastern handbook” and offer up our Leftists as sacrifices to appease . . .
