While it beats the usual "diversity is stronger than
hate" ritual, the UK Prime Minister's new anti-terrorism program falls well short of
one with any chance of success:
'We cannot and must not pretend things can continue as
they are. Things need to change and they need to change in four important
ways.'
- Defeating
the extreme Islamist ideology to make them understand 'pluralistic British
values' are superior
- Ending the
'safe space' online for the plotting of terror attacks
- Continuing
military action against ISIS terrorists in Iraq and Syria
- Tougher
prison sentences at home for terrorist offences
First, the problem is
not "the extreme Islamist ideology", the problem is Islam. Period. The West will continue to suffer
these attacks so long as Muslims are permitted to reside in the West. There is
a reason why Western nations periodically expelled troublesome minorities, and
they will have to do so again if they prefer peaceful societies to diverse
ones. The West will either embrace Reconquista 2.0 or it will cease to exist.
Second, pluralistic British values are not only not superior, they are not even coherent. "Pluralistic values" is a self-contradiction.
Third, the problem is not safe spaces online, but the safe spaces in the West. It's very difficult to commit an attack in London or Manchester if you reside in Libya and your travel is banned. Not so tough if you reside in Bradford.
Fourth, fighting them there instead of here hasn't worked since 2001. It's not going to work in 2017 either. Military action against Islam is needed in the UK, Europe, and the USA, not in Iraq and Syria.
Fifth, imprisoning terrorists has historically proven counterproductive everywhere from Egypt to Germany. It usually leads to more terrorist attacks and hostage-taking. Even simple deportation is probably preferable. And the prospect of prison is not likely to dissuade suicide bombers. Only severe reprisals will suffice to do that.
The leaders of the West are still shirking their duties. They're trying to win a war without fighting it. That is why new leadership is required. And that is why the God-Emperor should now declare martial law and imprison the judges who are illegally attempting to tie his hands.
