The Real Lessons from the Woolwich Killing

Regrettably, the reaction to the brutal murder of drummer Lee Rigby would seem to imply that Britain has learned little in over a decade of worrying about terrorism. Despite draconian laws, we are told that Britain has not been tough enough on ‘violent extremism’.

Left should call Muslims tin foil hats

Also, Indymedia was honest to recently ban the rantings of a tin foil hat conspiracy theorist about Woolwich being an MI5 inside job. An honest Left movement would reject such ideas.

The fact that most Muslims believe the conspiracy theories and fear that they are being set up as a whipping boy should be ignored by the Left. The Left know better about these issues than the people who suffer from them. The Left is not being racist if it ignores, well, most of the whole Muslim world who believe that Al Qaida is run by CIA. The Left believes these Muslims are tin foil hat idiots.

The Left should be more honest in saying that Muslims should recognise that their young men constitute a danger to the UK. Afterall, a couple of hours on the Internet turns them into suicide bombers. It is simply a fact that many young Muslims are going to be angry about the neo-colonial actions of the UK and the West in Muslim worlds. In fact, they are going to be more angry than the Muslims who are actually having their families and homes destroyed and who have never made their way to the UK to blow anybody up. Man Utd loving UK Muslims on the other hand, who are thousands of miles away from the drone attacks, want to commit suicide because no Western army blew up their family. The Left knows that this is right.

The Left should ignore the fact that the beheading story was a lie made up to stoke anti-Muslim hatred. They should reject the conspiri-loons who question how a car could have crossed a lane with up coming traffic, mounted a pavement and knocked over a soldier by a road sign without touching the road sign and caused a dent in the car that looks as if the car ran into Iron Man. The Left knows that the story we are told is perfectly rational - apart from the beheading bit.

The only people who would put about conspiracy theories that says that MI5 did the Woolwich terror killing are people who work for MI5.
