Here we go again

All kinds of trash have crawled out of their caves saying "you reap what you have sown", meaning of course that London commuters are paying for their government's decision to do something that has displeased some Islamic extermists - in this case, join in the stupid Iraq war. You do something they don't like, they bomb you.

Well, no shit, Sherlock. They don't bomb you for smiling nicely at them and paying them jizya tax (if you don't know what it is, it's time to find out and Google is your friend). They bomb you for doing something they don't like. It's rather obvious. I still don't understand the corollary implied by people who say so: "just do everything to please them, and they won't bomb you". Just take a fucking look at Bin Laden or Omar Bakri or any other of their extremist leaders: are those the guys whom you would really like to please? No matter that some things that displease them are quite stupid on their own merit and therefore should not be done - but do you want to base your safety on not doing anything to displease Islamic extremists?

I wonder what happened when Germans bombed London? Did many people say "serves them/us right for joining that stupid war"? No, I am not comparing WWII with the stupid Iraq war: Saddam was an evil dictator of a much lesser caliber who mostly only killed his own people (about whom most Westerners, both pro-war and anti-war, do not really care) and occasionally the citizens of small neighboring countries like Kuwait, he had a lot less potential to cause real trouble for the West, and, worst of all, the countries who invaded Iraq had no idea what to do with it after occupying it.

Islamic terrorists bombed London for Britain joining in the Iraq war. They bombed the US for joining the Iraq war, pre-emptively, a year and a half before the war started (or was it for the previous war?). They bombed the Paris metro 10 years ago, 8 years before the French joined the war... oh, wait, they didn't. Oops. They also threatened to bomb the French if they ban veils in schools, and there were even idiots in the West who thought that France should back down on the veil issue in order to avoid giving a justification for terrorism.

They also threatened to kill Salman Rushdie for attacking Iraq... I mean for writing Satanic Verses. And even then some people said he shouldn't have done it. Apparently Western freedom of speech is void where prohibited by Ayatollah. And that wasn't a handful of extremists - that was the leader of a 70-million country, and that country has just democratically elected another religious fanatic.

"Now London is getting a taste of what Bagdad is experiencing every day," say some people, apparently meaning that this is just revenge. Bugger. I did not know all those suicide bombings in Bagdad are carried out by British suicide bombers. I was under the impression that most bombers there were from Saudi Arabia and Gulf countries. Not that I would encourage anyone to bomb civilian targets in those countries, especially since it is already being done, and mostly by the same kind of people who bomb Iraq and London.

Every fucking time when somebody somewhere does something that displeases Islamic extremists they threaten to kill somebody, often somebody quite unrelated to the events. This is a problem. Avoiding doing anything that might ever displease them is not a solution.

A little reminder to the terrorists: the last guys who bombed London before you were the Luftwaffe, and we all know how that ended. If you don't know, then again Google is your friend.
