The statements made by Christopher Hitchens regarding the targeted victims in the thwarted bomb attacks underscore the grotesqueness of the vicious attitude towards women - and life in general - promulgated by so-called radical Islam. That women are considered subhuman within Islam could not be more readily exemplified than by the hateful attitude that female British citizens are "slags" and "sluts" about whom nobody would be concerned.
Without a doubt, Islam is oppressive of women, as well as men and children. No amount of sophistry or mendacity asserting the opposite will serve to convince otherwise anyone who has given any serious thought to these important issues.
A nightclub full of uncovered women drinking alcohol is about as antipathetic to this mentality as one can get, and this violent attack is how it's going to go with this psychopathology that thinks it has the right to rule the world. Unless fiercely resisted and contained, this dementia will terrorize the rest of humanity into capitulating to its enslaving will. It has no intelligent argument to be made, just barbaric, animalistic and sadistic violence and aggression. If this derangement possessed significant weapons, the world would be dead already, as it succumbed to the cult of death.
We must take a stand now, as Muslim authorities in the UK and elsewhere are doing this time around - finally! Of course, we hope they are sincere, and that the words will sink in with the younger generation, if this world is to survive.
We will not be covered up and chased out of life, cowering in the corners surrounded by darkness and threats of harm. The world's dividing lines are clearly now those who love life and those who hate it - and we simply cannot allow those who hate life to win.
The London car-bomb plot was designed to kill women.
by Christopher Hitchens
...Only at the tail end of the coverage was it admitted that a car bomb might have been parked outside a club in Piccadilly because it was "ladies night" and that this explosion might have been designed to lure people into to the street, the better to be burned and shredded by the succeeding explosion from the second car-borne cargo of gasoline and nails. Since we have known since 2004 that a near-identical attack on a club called the Ministry of Sound was proposed in just these terms, on the grounds that dead "slags" or "sluts" would be regretted by nobody, a certain amount of trouble might have been saved by assuming the obvious. The murderers did not just want body parts in general but female body parts in particular.
I suppose that some people might want to shy away from this conclusion for whatever reason, but they cannot have been among the viewers of British Channel 4's recent Undercover Mosque, or among those who watched Sunday's report from Christiane Amanpour on CNN's Special Investigations Unit. On these shows, the British Muslim fanatics came right out with their program. Straight into the camera, leading figures like Anjem Choudary spoke of their love for Osama Bin Laden and their explicit rejection of any definition of Islam as a religion of peace. On tape or in person, mullahs in prominent British mosques called for the killing of Indians and Jews.
Liberal reluctance to confront this sheer horror is the result, I think, of a deep reticence about some furtive concept of "race." It is subconsciously assumed that a critique of political Islam is an attack on people with brown skins. One notes in passing that any such concession implicitly denies or negates Islam's claim to be a universal religion. Indeed, some of its own exponents certainly do speak as if they think of it as a tribal property. And, at any rate, in practice, so it is. The fascistic subculture that has taken root in Britain and that lives by violence and hatred is composed of two main elements. One is a refugee phenomenon, made up of shady exiles from the Middle East and Asia who are exploiting London's traditional hospitality, and one is the projection of an immigrant group that has its origins in a particularly backward and reactionary part of Pakistan.
To the shame-faced white-liberal refusal to confront these facts, one might counterpose a few observations. The first is that we were warned for years of the danger, by Britons also of Asian descent such as Hanif Kureishi, Monica Ali, and Salman Rushdie. They knew what the village mullahs looked like and sounded like, and they said as much....

This text by Hitchens would apply equally well to the history of Western encroachment on the rest of the planet. So often in life the perpetrators of evil camouflage themselves in attributing to their victims that which they themselves do. One can find this mechanism from the confines of the family all the way up to international affairs. In making this point one should not assume that I disagree with Hitchens but rather that we should all be very aware of the pot calling the kettle black. This I suspect is built into our psychological genes and is one of the reasons that the puppet masters find their job so easy. If you listen to Bush's rhetoric on 911 and the middle east wars one will perceive in his tirades an accurate description of ourselves. In another blog of August 2006 Vertigo says we do not need any proof of Al Quaeda's part in 911. I beg to differ. That is exactlywhat we need since it is patent nonsence and the lie should be exposed as pure spin to orchestrate the present disaster. Can you imagine being on the receiving end of White, Anglo-Saxon bullies convinced that the sun shines out of their rears?
Thanks, Peter. Many if not most of my readers are well aware of the shenanigans of other cultures worldwide going back centuries. Your remarks, obviously, could be construed as racist. We are not discussing white, brown, yellow or black here but a mentality. As bad as it can be in other places, nothing compares to the misogyny found within Muslim communities, regardless of the ethnicity or race of those cultures.
FYI, that paragraph you quote was not by Hitchens but by me.
I knew someone who was married to a Egyptian Muslim doctor. As an MD, he was well informed about the best places to beat her without leaving marks.
Remember that Josef Mengele was also a doctor...
We must keep an open mind to the not exactly small chance that the Piccadilly scare was false flag terrorism staged by MI6! It's happened in the past and gone unquestioned. Moon phases are relevant to this scare as they were for the 2005 London bombings & blastings - could it be that there's a 'hidden hand' fingering other parties?
I've long made up my mind about the bigotry of religion and I totally condemn violence, and I would also not like to be seen as part of anyone else's agenda. The Danish cartoon fiasco apparently took months to 'stir up', lots of people are duped (especially the likes of those young drivers who stormed Glasgow airport) & the lunar timing is so significant and the devices so puny that it may well indicate this to be more stirring!
Perspective, I hope, can be gained by acknowledging the 105 who died in Iraq from a truck bomb in the same week.

Yes, of course, "they" are always up to shenanigans. It is in "their" nature to make sure we don't know who's doing what.
In the meantime, I am very curious about your comments regarding the moon phases - particularly since Islam is a lunar religion. I would like to see more about this subject.
Good post, A. I'm frightened though by some of the more P.C. comments; when will we in the West get over this guilt complex!
I drew up a chart of new moons and full moons at the times of said Piccadilly 'car-bomb carnage' and the London bombing of 2005. These events are all closely synchronized with peaks and troughs in moon phase. Also, not unnoticed was the scheduled tribute concert for Princess Diana at Wembley stadium starting 4.00PM on the Saturday just following the Piccadilly scare. I looked up Diana's death's conjunction with either a new or full moon, and it turned out to be closely synchronised - within a mere 18 hours!
7th July 2005 London bombings - Moon/bombs 21 hours apart
21st July 2005 London blastings - Bomb/moon 3 hours apart
22nd July 2005 Jean Charles de Meneses moon/murder 21 hours
29th June 2007 Piccadilly failed car-bomb/moon 36 hours
31st August 1997 Diana Pont de l'Alma sacrifice/moon 18 hours
1st July 2007 Diana tribute at Wembley moon/concert 26 hours
Of London's 7th July 2005, most references to this tragic event call it 7/7 but the seventh day of the seventh month of 2005 is more correctly 7/7/7 as numerologically 2+0+0+5 = 7
Expressing dates in British- english; the day is placed before the month and a date like 9/11 is actually 11/9 However, the date of the London bombings keeps the same resonance either way the numerals are ordered i.e. 7/7/7 = 7/7/7
7+7+7+=21 and exactly two weeks later, on the full moon of the 21st, the failed London 'blastings' culminated in the killing of Jean Charles de Menezes on the 22nd.
I feel the placement of the moon at these events far too relevant to ignore.
Peace
On the moon subject...
I write in on 30th Dec. 2008, days after Israel brutaly attacked Gaza on saturday the 27th. I only bothered to check the moon phase just now, and surprise, surprise... Israel's miltary stormed in on the very day of a new moon! AND it was the first new moon after the winter solstice - the darkest day of the year! A portentous and intentional astronomical choice in my opinion.
