London is bombed. Protect Muslims!

Desperation has again led Muslims to commit suicide bombings, this time in London. Brits still bewildered by the attacks, protesting, "But we're not Jewish!" need to get out of their cocoons and start asking the relevant question: Why is this happening? To stop terrorism, one must remove the root causes of terrorism. To that end, maybe it's time England pulled out of occupied Londonistan. Only then will this cycle of violence end. With the unemployment rate among British Muslims at 10 percent above the national average, perhaps a divestment campaign, as well as an academic boycott of England, would help England figure out what it's been doing wrong. Either way, our favoritism toward this colonial power at the expense of Muslims must end.

"Polls of British Muslims show a considerable sense of anger," reports the NY Times. "Eight out of 10 believe that the war on terrorism is a war on Islam, while a poll conducted last year…found a surprising 13 percent who said that further attacks…on the United States would be justified." This is worrisome, considering that Muslims in Europe and America are picking up electoral strength as their numbers grow. In fact, we can expect soon to see a new addition to the bumper sticker genre of "I'm a woman and I vote," or "I'm retired and I vote": "I'm Muslim and I bomb."

ROFL Darn you British don't you know that England is Muslim land. After all there was a certain Muslim named Haroon Rashid Aswat who the USA tried to get two years ago that apparently has more rights than the average Brit.

WTF? I would like to know where Gorin gets the idea that the British are saying THIS. The JWR just went down in my estimation. They should try hiring a responsible journalist next time rather than a comedienne.

A flat out lie. Not desperation, but strict following of the precepts written in their "holy" book.

[toddlintown]

It's sarcasm. Lighten up and re-read it.

[ImaGraftedBranch]

It was sarcasm. It was showing the brits their hypocrisy against the jews.

[agere_contra]

Yes I read it. It wasn't comedy (there was no humour, no funny bits). And as it wasn't funny, amusing, coulteresque/menckian humour, the purported sarcasm just reads straight - like someone seriously saying the British were saying , etc etc.

She makes a living from comedy? Seriously?

[No.6]

Um, yes, it's satire, and good satire at that.

It parodies the response the left makes to Israel every time someone blows up a bus or a pizza shop in Tel Aviv.

If it gets under your skin imagine being Israeli and hearing it daily for decades. Those guys are a lot more patient than I would be in their position, that's all I can say.

[toddlintown]

It's not comedy...it's satire.

Liberal British were saying exactly this sort of thing about Israel not too long ago. If you were unaware of that, you should apologize for your ignorance.
