Islamic terrorism, as everyone knows, has nothing to do with Islam. Not a thing. Apart from the name, the motivation and the entire purpose of the exercise. Still our governments and ‘leading experts’ insist that the two are completely unrelated.
Australian Federal Police Commissioner Krissy Barrett (above) has faced criticism for saying the Bondi Beach terrorist attack was “not motivated by religion”.
Commissioner Barrett had stated in the aftermath of the December 14 attack that the alleged terrorists were “inspired by Islamic State”.
“These are the alleged actions of those have aligned themselves to a terrorist organisation – not a religion,” she said.
The ‘terrorist organization’ being the Islamic State whose purpose is to make a state completely ruled by Islam. Hence the name.
Terrorism is a tactic. It’s not an identity. Saying that Muslim terrorists are terrorists not Muslims makes no sense. People don’t go ahead and gun down a 10-year-old girl on a beach or any of the other things Muslim terrorists do because they have no actual ideological motives. They kill people in the name of something. And that thing that Australian Federal Police Commissioner Krissy Barrett refuses to name isn’t terrorism. It’s Allah, Islam, the Koran and all that tremendously murderous stuff.
Saying that Islamic terrorists are terrorists not Muslims is like saying that Japanese soldiers are soldiers, not Japanese. Or that Marxist terrorists aren’t really Marxists. Or that the folks who quote the Koran and shout “Allahu Akbar” before killing a bunch of people aren’t really acting in the name of those religious principles because white liberals are convinced that’s not real Islam. Real Islam, like the true Scotsman, doesn’t actually exist anywhere except in the platonic ideals of the people who don’t practice it or for that matter any actual religion beyond occasionally going to hear a minister/rabbi in a rainbow scarf explain that everything you need to know about religion can be found in Das Kapital. That’s what they think Islam is.
But Muslims actually take their religion seriously. Seriously enough to keep on killing us. We’re the ones refusing to take it seriously.
