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.
