The Myth of the “Innocent Civilians” Among Whom Terrorists Grow Up and Live

In England several Islamic leaders are claiming fatuously that the 7-7 terrorists were not asked to blow themselves up by other Islamists. 

Sir Iqbal Sacranie, of the Muslim Council of Britain, stated:

Sir Iqbal Sacranie, of the Muslim Council of Britain, said it had received news about the suspects with "anguish, shock and horror".

He said: "It appears our youth have been involved in last week's horrific bombings against innocent people.

"Nothing in Islam can ever justify the evil actions of the bombers."

Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner Andy Hayman said: "I want to make it absolutely clear that no-one should be in any doubt the work last Thursday is that of extremists and criminals.

"No-one should smear or stigmatise any community with these acts."

And Massoud Shadjareh, chairman of the Islamic Human Rights Commission, stated:

 "The criminality of anyone should not be associated with their nationality, ethnicity or religion.

"That sort of association is totally unjust and xenophobic and can create a great injustice by promoting prejudice that could fuel further violence against innocent people. A criminal is a criminal, is a criminal, full stop."

What a load of baloney. What a pathetic attempt to pull the wool over our eyes. When an Islamist cleric based in London has publicly called for war on England:

THE London bombings occurred exactly six months after an extremist cleric based in the capital declared that Islam was at war with Britain.

When a Professor who publicly favors terrorism is invited to London by a Muslim group to speak to Muslim children:

Egyptian-born Tariq Ramadan, who is banned from entering the United States, is due to speak at The Middle Path conference on July 24, 17 days after the London bombings.

He will address young Muslims at the Islamic Cultural Centre near Regent’s Park alongside other academics, with the £9,000- cost of his trip being partly paid by the Metropolitan Police and the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO).

Professor Ramadan has previously justified suicide bombings.

When the family of one of the 7-7 suicide bombers has publicly stated that he became a terrorist due to his involvement in the local Islamist religious organization:

Leeds-born Hasib attended the Matthew Murray High School, a few hundred yards from the £75,000 four-bedroom terraced family home in a rundown suburb of the city. According to one neighbour, Hussain "went off the rails" as a young teenager but became a reformed character when he "suddenly became devoutly religious" two years ago.

A friend of the family said: "His older brother was worried because Hasib seemed to be getting into some kind of gang and started wearing white robes but he decided there was no harm in him becoming religious. He didn't realise that there might have been something more sinister to it."

When multiple terrorist groups are based in London -- it is beyond question that the young terrorists committed these attacks on England precisely at the behest of those around them.

How to address it? People know perfectly well how to address it. Options include:

• Stigmatize it
• Ostracize it
• Make it illegal
• Arrest the leaders
• Deport the followers. 
  

Thoughts on Suitable Responses the British Can Make to the 7-7 Attacks

Earlier today, in response to this post, commenter A asked:

Detectives now believe all four London bombers were British citizens.

Do you support bombing British neighborhoods in retaliation?

In addition to the link A posted, we now have this later report:

London bombers 'were all British'
   
Detectives now believe the London bombings were carried out by four British-born men in what were possibly the country's first suicide attacks.

Security sources said it was likely at least three of the men, said to be of Pakistani descent, are dead, after belongings were found at the scenes. 

Clearly it's unsuitable for a country to be bombing territory on its own soil. However, in many ways deportation would have a similar effect.

The British have already begun to identify the centers of the society, that literally gave birth to these terrorists and encouraged them to commit these acts of war upon their own country:

Islamist Cleric Declared War On Britain Six Months Ago:

THE London bombings occurred exactly six months after an extremist cleric based in the capital declared that Islam was at war with Britain. 

I would recommend that the British consider a large-scale deportation of people involved in the mosque to which this cleric belonged, as well as of those connected with any other centers which can be identified, of the society that spawned these terrorists.

On those who are not deported, deportation would have a substantial effect. They would fear for their lives, in the sense of the continuing of their current lives in England. Theywould see that the consequences of supporting terrorists are real and very serious. So not only would deportation rid England of poisonous killers who have abused England's generosity; it would also show those who remain that terrorism doesn't work.
