Commenting on the events in Woolwich, David Cameron has noted that there is nothing in Islam which justifies this horrific act. Here are two of my favourite quotes from The Koran:
Fight those who do not believe in Allah [9:29]
The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His apostle and
strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be
murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off
on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned [5:33]
Either David Cameron is hugely misinformed about Islam, or else he is a liar. I suspect the latter.
In other news, it appears that various people are worried about the EDL. The Daily Express reports:
Far-right extremists sent fear surging through Asian communities last night as they tried to stoke-up revenge attacks.
It appears that once again the press is using Asian as a euphemism for Muslim. As it happens, the two men shot in Woolwich yesterday are not Asian, although they are Muslim.
As for the EDL, I do not support them, but neither do I see any reason to insult them with meaningless tags. What does far-right mean? What does extremist mean? David Cameron bombed Libya, and murdered innocent civilians. Does he qualify as either far-right or extremist?
If there are any attacks on mosques, then I expect that the people responsible will be prosecuted and imprisoned - unless of course David Cameron decides to attack any mosques. He appears to be above the law - like just about every British prime minister before him.
