Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts
UK: “Moderate” Muslim Maajid Nawaz: “We, the United Kingdom, produced Jihadi John”
“We, the United Kingdom, produced Jihadi John. We, the United Kingdom, produced his other acolytes around him in the so-called Jihadi Beatles. Something in our cities and towns, something in the atmosphere within our communities in this country have produced the most infamous terrorists, at least in my lifetime. We need to start asking that question: what is it in our culture, in our cities, in our towns that is producing these sort of monsters.”
Good idea. Let’s not only ask the question. Let’s answer it. “What is it in our culture, in our cities, in our towns that is producing these sort of monsters”? Easy: it’s Islam’s doctrines of jihad warfare against unbelievers, preached in mosques in the UK. But Islamic supremacists and jihadists always deflect responsibility, claiming that jihad mass murderers are only reacting to the evils supposedly perpetrated against Muslims by the Infidels. Nawaz here is feeding that perception and the implication that Muslims are being victimized, and that it is all the fault of non-Muslims, of “Islamophobia” to which the poor dears are simply reacting.
“We, the United Kingdom, produced Jihadi John.” No. Muslims within the United Kingdom produced Jihadi John. That is not an unimportant distinction. Why is Nawaz eliding it? Odd stance for a renowned “moderate” to take.
“Britain Must Take Responsibility For The Jihadi Beatles, Insists Maajid Nawaz,” LBC, February 13, 2018:
Maajid Nawaz insisted the so-called “Jihadi Beatles” should be tried in Britain rather than Syria… because they are British….Speaking on LBC as he stood in for James O’Brien, he said: “We, the United Kingdom, produced Jihadi John. We, the United Kingdom, produced his other acolytes around him in the so-called Jihadi Beatles.“Something in our cities and towns, something in the atmosphere within our communities in this country have produced the most infamous terrorists, at least in my lifetime.“We need to start asking that question: what is it in our culture, in our cities, in our towns that is producing these sort of monsters.”
