Hamas Keeps Making a Fool out of Time Magazine

Time magazine of 13 August 2007 painted an idyllic picture of Gaza under Hamas rule [here & here]. This rosey colored view of Hamas reflects political sympathy in some quarters in the United States for this offshoot of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood and genocidal enemy of Israel. Nevertheless, despite the Western coddling that the Hamas has gotten for years, the tiger doesn't change its stripes. It continus to openly display its brutality, not only towards Israel and Jews elsewhere, but towards its own palestinian Arab brothers. See this late story from the Associated Press. Meanwhile, Fatah, the ostensibly moderate rival of Hamas, is showing that they're made out of the same right stuff [see here].

Ironically, the Philadelphia Bulletin reported last week & Israel Radio Beyt today [through David Bedein on Yoman Huts], that Hamas propaganda agencies have been allowed to operate in Britain [see here & here].

Muslim Leader Reminds Us that London Hosted Islamist Terrorists

After the July bombings in London, a Muslim leader in Italy remembered that London had hosted terrorists and terrorist leaders who had done their awful work in other cities in other countries. In the mid-1990s, terrorists struck several times in France, including the Paris subway, the Metro. French investigators traced the commanders of these attacks back to Islamic terrorist leaders in London. I believe that it was these French investigators who gave London the nickname Londonistan. Islamist terrorists operating against Israel also had connections in London, and enjoyed a broad tolerance from the British authorities. Khalid Chaouki [= Shawki] published his statement as a letter in Il Riformista [9 July 2005]. His letter describes him as director of the website Musulmaniditalia.com. Here are his words:

Another massacre. This time terrorism of an Islamic matrix has struck that capital that had indirectly tolerated it, [and] hosted international leaders of Islamist radicalism. London, the multicultural city where diverse cultures and traditions live together. That country of a great democratic tradition. . . always the refuge for millions of workers and intellectuals in search of liberty. Unfortunately, after New York and Madrid, it has now fallen to London's lot. . .

Ancora una strage. Questa volta il terrorismo di matrice islamica ha colpito quella capitale che l'aveva indirettamente tollerato, ospitato esponenti internazionali del radicalismo islamista. Londra, la citta' multiculturale dove convivono culture e tradizioni diverse. Quel paese di grande tradizione democratica . . . da sempre rifugio di milioni di lavoratori e intelletuali in cerca di liberta'. Purtroppo dopo New York e Madrid, ora e' toccato proprio a Londra. . .

Chaouki wants to be nice to the Brit government, so he says "indirectly tolerated." But didn't anybody in an official position in Britain know what was going on? Didn't anybody know that --for instance-- mad mullahs in Britain were preaching/inciting the murder of Jews and the Islamist takeover of Britain? What's a madda? Din't nobody know nuttin?

For more on British promotion of Islamist fanatics, see the recent posts here on Tony Blair, "palestinian authority" and Hamas [May 16, May 7].

There is good reason to call London Londonistan!
