"Islamophobia is irrational!" - Yeah... sure...

On Sunday, Walt had a visitor to our cabin in the pines, one of those unthinking liberal types who calls himself a Christian but repeats the tired old mantras: "We all worship the same God." "Everyone's equal in God's sight." and "All religions are the same." As he could see the red rising up the back of my neck, he topped this off with, "Do you really believe the Muslims are trying to invade our country and kill us all?!"

"Well yeah!" says I. "Look around you!" The visitor told me I was being irrational, and the subject was changed to something anodine. 

Today, I will send him the link to a statement made this morning by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, in which he said that the murder of the three little girls pictured above at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class last year must lead to "fundamental change" in how the British state protects citizens, as well as a reckoning with threats from violent individuals whose behaviour and motives "challenge the traditional definition of terrorism."

Without giving us the new definition of terrorism, or ever once using the words "Islamic" or "Muslim", Sir Keir said the authorities need to answer "tough questions" about how why the violence-obsessed killer was not stopped before he stabbed the three girls to death in Southport last July. 

Mr Stammer announced that a public inquiry would investigate failings in the case of Axel Rudakubana, who injured another eight children, their instructor and a passer-by. For those who don't (or, like our visitor, choose not to) remember, our reports of the Manchester massacre maybe found here: "'Allahu akbar!' in Southport, England" and here: "Entering Week 2 of British race riots". On Monday, the first day of his trial, the Islamic terrorist -- for such he is -- unexpectedly changed his pleas to guilty. He is due to be sentenced on Thursday.

This week, half a year since the horrific event, we finally learn the truth about Axel Rudakubana, the truth that the politically correct British government, the police, and the lickspittle media have covered up right from the getgo.

The killer was referred to the government’s "Prevent" scheme three times before his attack in Southport. He was first referred to the anti-extremism programme om 2019, when he was a 13-year-old schoolboy. He was referred by teachers concerned by his obsession with school massacres. 

He was reportedly referred to Prevent twice in 2021 following his expulsion from the Range High School after staff were worried about his interest in the 2017 terror attacks, which included incidents in central London and the Manchester Arena bombing.

The referrals were not escalated, as "someone" decided that Rudakubana "did not hold a terrorist ideology" – the same reasoning used by police to justify the failure to charge him with terrorism offences. 

The bullshit meter on social went off the peg at the peak end as tensions mounted across the Disunited Kingdom. We'll show in blue examples of the politically correct bullshit fed to us by the British government and its minions.

Merseyside Police took the unusual step of issuing a statement that stressed the teenager being questioned was born in Cardiff. But confirmation that the killer was a British national did little to ease growing belief that the massacre was an Islamic State-inspired terrorist attack. 

Because Mr Rudakubana was not heard shouting "Allahu akbar!" (or anything) at the scene, and his family were devout Christians. there was nothing obvious that pointed to him being a Muslim convert or having any other ideology. During a press conference in Southport the evening of the attack, Serena Kennedy, the chief constable of Merseyside Police, said that while it was not being treated as terror-related, colleagues from counter-terror policing had offered to assist with the investigation.

Yet in the hours after the attack, police had searched the perp's home and found an al-Qaeda training manual along with what would soon be confirmed as ricin, the deadly toxin. The information was withheld from the public.  On the evening of July 31st, Mr Rudakubana was charged with three counts of murder, 10 counts of attempted murder and possession of "a bladed article" (like a knife? a machete? what?) in a public place. 

As with all suspects under the age of 18, he was not formally identified by the Peelers, leading to further claims that the full details were being covered up. Ya think?! Crucially, the teenager was not charged with terrorism offences relating to the al-Qaeda manual and ricin at that stage, waiting for another three months. 

While this may have been an operational decision to allow detectives more time to gather evidence of a motive, it also avoided stoking the growing disorder that was sweeping Britain. While visiting the scene the morning after the attack, Sir Keir was asked whether the killer had been on a terrorism watchlist. One heckler shouted, "How many more children are going to die on our streets?"

In a statement to the House of Commons a short time later, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper warned people against exploiting the attack to peddle misinformation and stir up community tension. But she didn't rule out a terrorist motive, telling MPs, "The investigation will, of course, pursue any contact the suspect may or may not have had with different agencies before the incident took place."

A spokesthingy for the Prime Minister added, "People should listen to the police, they should not do anything that is going to make the police’s job harder to manage the situation, to conduct their investigations. It is unhelpful [sic] to speculate on things like the motive and the circumstances around this."

Why do we call these statements bullshit? Because evidence found at Mr Rudakubana’s home immediately after murderous attack suggested that terrorism was indeed behind the atrocity. 

An al-Qaeda training manual found in Rudakubana’s bedroom provided a step-by-step guide to carrying out a terrorist attack. Bearing the title Military Studies in the Jihad Against the Tyrants: The Al-Qaeda Training Manual, the 180-page document was recovered by police hours after the teenager walked into the Taylor Swift holiday club in Southport and began stabbing children. 

The manual included a whole section on how to assassinate people with a knife and provided details of where on the body to stab someone to guarantee death. As well as providing terrorist instruction, the document -- which is available for purchase or download online -- offers religious justifications for waging jihad, complete with regular quotations from the Koran. 

It talks about the "overthrow of the godless regimes and their replacement with an Islamic regime". De Jerold Post, a former CIA operative turned academic and counter-terror specialist who edited the document in 2004, wrote in the preface: "The eighteen chapters of the Manual of Terror take the reader through a tour of al-Qaeda membership criteria, basic tradecraft, means and methods of communication, member safety, security, espionage, assassination and capture."

He added: "The tradecraft instructions are interwoven with Koranic justification designed to inspire the reader. There are detailed instructions on everything from ciphers to how to resist interrogation. But it is also a manual of terror with no less than four of the seventeen lessons or chapters devoted to techniques for assassination. But it is not merely a list of instructions, for it is also written to inspire the undercover operator as he carries on his dangerous work."

Apparently the discovery of this handbook for Islamic terrorists was not enough to convince the Bobbies that simply possessing the widely-available academic pamphlet proved that this was a terrorist incident. After all, Mr Rudakubana didn't confess or offer a single word of explanation since his arrest. Until Monday, when the Islamic terrorist pled guilty... with no explanation.

Are we crazy, then, to fear that fanatical followers of the Religion of Peace [TM] have invaded our countries, intending to replace our culture, religion and system of government with theirs? QED.
