ANATOMY OF A MURDER

 

 

There has been what police term a ‘major incident’ in the English Midlands city of Nottingham. Two people were found dead in the street and, later, a third. Three others were hospitalised. Whenever this sort of event occurs, the initial reports must be examined forensically. In this case, early media coverage told us that the police Counter Terrorism Unit were involved. There is a mention of understanding the ‘ideology’ behind the attack. Eye-witnesses say the man driving the van – who is 31 and under arrest – had dark skin. Finally, the police have urged the public to ‘be cautious’. Usually, they tell the public not to ‘jump to conclusions’, and this means the same thing and refers to social media.

All of these indicators suggest that the attacker was a Muslim. This will worry those shadowy figures in government whose job it is to ensure that the ‘optics’ surrounding an event like this always serve to protect brand Islam, one of the UK government’s top priorities. I have watched the various media advances with interest. The city has had sections of it cordoned off, and this cordon seems to be expanding. Two men at a commercial premises have been arrested. There will be a press conference by the Nottinghamshire police later today, which will again have to be looked at forensically for key words and phrases.

If I am wrong, I will eat humble pie with a side order of crow, but it is a pound to a pinch of snuff that, if the suspect were a white Englishman, his identity would have been made known straight away. Twitter is, apparently, alive with Leftist crayon wielders calling the attack a ‘white supremacist’ act. Whenever a serious incident takes place, there is a hard rump of Leftists imploring heaven – their version of heaven – that it is a white guy.

If it is a Muslim, the next phase of distraction will begin, as the suspect will be labelled a ‘lone wolf’ with ‘mental health issues’. Now, you could argue that adherence to the Koran and various other primitive jujus indicates a level of problematic mental health in itself, but the use of these phrases misunderstands the fundamental nature of Islamic terrorism.

In the days when Al Qa’eda were the biggest gang in town, we Western news consumer were sold the idea of some James Bond villain’s shadowy organization. But ‘Al Qa’eda’ translates from the Arabic as ‘the method’, ‘the way of doing things’, ‘the protocol’, and ‘base camp’. There is no undersea island, just the knowledge that there will be a steady stream of one-off attacks carried out in adherence to a theologico-social set of commands and extending to all Muslims. Muslim attacks can happen at any time and in the leafiest of English counties, which, along with the visible effects in cordoning off streets, has the additional bonus in terms of anarcho-tyranny by keeping people scared of their own streets, and painfully aware of the unspoken (because you aren’t permitted to) danger of violent Islam.

As I say, if I am wrong I will find a hat and eat it. But I am betting this driver is a Mussulman.
