The Islamist society in London is structured so as to give birth -- in every sense of the word -- to terrorist killers of women and children. This edition of Five-by-Five has great posts from around the blogosphere on this subject.
- "Your mosque preaches hatred for America and Britain, you claim Muslims are being murdered at the hands of the West, you claim a Zionist conspiracy controls the UK and is responsible for poor conditions in Muslim lands, you claim the the Anglo-American alliance is killing millions of Muslims, and that a real holocaust is being committed against your brothers around the world---yet, you say you want to change things peacefully?" [The Jawa Report]
- Evan Kohlmann describes a July 2002 trip to London in which he personally witnessed a group of about 20 British-born Muslim youths aged 12-20 being taught to hate non-Muslims. "Perhaps what disturbed me the most about Faisal's desperate words was searching around the room and seeing dozens of eyes diligently trained on him--the eyes of young, impressionable Muslim kids." [The CounterTerrorism Blog]
- On the Times of London description of the family of one of the 7-7 terrorists as being "good Muslims": "It seems incredible, from the outsider perspective, that they did not drop any hints about their views and plans to friends or relatives, but perhaps the views were common, and nobody thought they would carry out any action." Note -- if the common view is that it's a good idea to kill non-Muslims, it would be disingenuous for anyone to say it was not expected that action would be taken on them. [Ranting Profs]
- On those who lead young Muslims to kill others: "Those Pied Pipers must ruthlessly rooted out..." [Chrenkoff]
- Public opinion in Iraq detesting terrorism builds. "At Kindi hospital, where many victims were taken, a distraught mother swathed in black sat cross-legged outside the operating room. 'May God curse the mujahedeen and their leader'..." [Jihad Watch]
Suspected London bomb maker sought:
British police and intelligence officials have launched a nationwide manhunt for a man identified as a likely bomb maker in last week's London attacks, who was seen on a security tape with the four suspected bombers, according to a U.S. official.
"They know who No. 5 is," said the official, who has access to substantial intelligence flowing from the bomb investigation but asked to not be identified.
