Guest Post by Patrick J. Buchanan
On May 22, Salman Abedi, 22, waiting at the entrance of the Arianna Grande pop concert in Manchester, blew himself up, killing almost two dozen people, among them parents waiting to pick up their children.
Saturday, three Islamic terrorists committed “suicide-by-cop,” using a van to run down pedestrians on London Bridge, and then slashing and stabbing patrons of pubs and diners in the nearby Borough Market.
By all accounts, the killers bore no special grudge against those they murdered. They appear not even to have known their victims.
Why, then, did they kill these strangers, and themselves?

A BBC eyewitness suggests a motive: “They shouted, ‘This is for Allah’, as they stabbed indiscriminately.”
The murderers were Muslims. The rationale for their crimes lies in the belief that their bloody deeds would inscribe them in a book of martyrs, and Allah would reward them with instant ascension into the paradise that awaits all good Muslims.
Ideas have consequences. And where might these crazed killers have gotten an idea like that?
Is there a strain of Islam, the basis of which can be found in the Quran, that would justify what the murderers did at London Bridge?
On Palm Sunday, an explosion in Tanta, 56 miles north of Cairo, killed 29 and injured 71 Copts as they prayed at the Mar Girgis church. A second blast at a church in Alexandria killed 18 and wounded 35.
On May 26, masked gunmen stopped two buses carrying Coptic Christians to Saint Samuel the Confessor Monastery in Egypt, and opened fire, killing 26 and wounding 25.
“I call on Egyptians to unite in the face of this brutal terrorism,” said Ahmed el-Tayeb, the grand imam of al-Azhar, Egypt’s 1,000-year-old center of Islamic learning.
Yet, years of such atrocities have effected a near-complete cleansing of Christianity from its cradle provinces in the Holy Land.
Have something to say about this column?

If these persecutors and killers of Christians are apostates to Islam, headed to hell for their savageries, why have not all the imams of the world, Shiite and Sunni, risen together to condemn them as heretics?
Clearly, from the suicide bombings and shootings of civilians in the Middle East, now across the West, there is a belief among some Muslims that what the killers are doing is moral and meritorious — taking the martyr’s path to salvation.
When have the imams of Saudi Arabia, the Middle East, and West ever stood as one to condemn all such acts as against the tenets of Islam?
In condemning the London Bridge attack, Prime Minister Theresa May said that recent atrocities across England were “bound together by the single evil ideology of Islamist extremism.”
Correct. There is an extremist school of Islam that needs to be purged from the West, even as this school of fanatics is seeking to purge Christianity from the East.
We are at war. And the imams of Islam need to answer the question: “Whose side are you on?”
Are honor killings of girls and women caught in adultery justified? Are lashings and executions of Christian converts justified?
Do people who hold such beliefs really belong in the United States or in the West during this long war with Islamist extremism?
Other questions need answering as well.
Is our commitment to diversity broad enough to embrace people with Islamist beliefs? Is our First Amendment freedom of speech and of religion extensive enough to cover the sermons of imams who use mosques to preach in favor of expelling Christians from the Middle East and an eventual takeover of the West for an Islam where Sharia replaces constitutional law?
Are such Islamist beliefs not intolerable and perilous for our republic?
Clearly, the West is in a civilizational struggle, with the outcome in some doubt.
Four years after Pearl Harbor, the Japanese empire had ceased to exist. Japan was smoldering ruins, its navy at the bottom of the Pacific. An American proconsul, Douglas MacArthur, was dictating to the Japanese from the Dai-Ichi building.
Today we are in the 16th year of a war begun on 9/11. We are mired down in Libya, Syria, Iraq and Yemen. Our victory in Afghanistan is being reversed by the Taliban.
While the ISIS caliphate is being eradicated in Raqqa and Mosul, its elements are in two dozen countries of the Mideast. Muslim migrants and refugees, ISIS and al-Qaida among them, are moving into Europe.
Terrorist attacks in the West grow in number and lethality every year. The new normal. Now, second-generation Muslims within Europe seem to be converting to a violent version of Islam.
To fight them, we are being forced to circumscribe our sovereignty and empower police and intelligence agencies of which free men were once taught to be wary.
Wars, it is said, are the death of republics. And we now seem to be caught up in an endless war.
It is not an ‘endless war’ – there are two outcomes. The politicians are choosing the one that defies logic, human decency, and morality.
Ann Barnhardt has made a good suggestion, but it needs to be carried out more forcefully than she suggests.
This is just like the gun control debate with lefties. They want to ban all guns to stop gun crime, we argue it’s not the gun it’s the person and we argue it’s hard to legislate crazy.
There’s obviously a large group of crazy’s in the muslim religion, how do you find them and send them to their virgins?
Words and prayers are not working, war between countries will suck, war in the streets between religions will suck even more.
I wonder if there are muslims in OZ? Llpoh?
Known wolf attack in Melbourne yesterday.
Islam is inherently incompatible with traditional western principles and traditions.
If you accept that statement as truth, there is only one option to employ. It won’t be pretty, but it has to happen if we are to preserve our society.
That’s what they said.
There is no such thing as moderate Muslims.They are just disobedient but that does not make them hate us less.When they finally get the numbers these so called moderate Muslims will show their true colors.Just like in Bosnia , Lebanon and Nigeria . London is getting a little taste of what coming if they don’t put an end to Muslim immigration.
So that’s 680,030,000 Muslims that need a one way ticket to hell.
Nice video, KaD.

Just remember it is wealthy Jews and Jewish interest that is behind this Muslim immigration .They put up the money and much of the legal assistance and brain power.They hate Christ , Christianity and Christians.This is the Jewish scheme for destroying the white European Christ bearing race once and for all.
Wealthy Jews are also the main ones promoting Culture Marxism propaganda through the media.
More Madonna and Katie Perry and Arrianna Grande “Pied Piper Concerts” by these useful-idiots will surely create a society that will lead to total destruction by Islam!
Worth a look too, for the figures on Islamic terrorism…

The very essence of Islam and its teachings are fundamentally incompatible with western values (what’s left of them anyway). Forcing totally incompatible cultures together is like forcing mice and cats into the same cage.
The outcome is predictable, which begs the question as to WHY politicians are so intent on doing just that.
What was that comment by JP Morgan ?
Something about creating division among the masses to keep them distracted while the bigger picture rolls on as intended by the powers that be.
So you have it – gender equality BS, left vs right, racial forced integration, preventable terrorism etc. Yep, the masses are 100% oblivious to the big picture obsessing over nonsense. For now anyway.
You are right that young European men have been dumbed down, brainwashed and castrated…Zombies. They did not rise up like their ancestors when their religion, country, women or even themselves were attacked by muslim invaders. Their religion is now liberalism which protects their enemies. Their country is now just a corporation of the rich and for the rich Oligarchs. Their women have become feminazis who sympathize and consort with the invaders. They themselves are unemployed or underemployed. They have been denied their God Given Right of Self Defense by TPTB and now run from the slightest danger. Muslims will bury Western Civilization unless a Populist like Charles Martel or El Cid arises and restores our Traditions. If by a miracle of God Europeans do throw out the Barbarians, including the Moderates because they will vote for a Caliphate, and manage to save themselves from slavery or beheading, please take down also the Oligarchs who forced destructive Cultural Marxism on the West in the first place.
Always carry. If you can.
Why doesn’t Buchanan just say what he thinks instead of dancing around the subject?
BB..you’re only half right. The Christians are making big bucks from the refugees here in the USA. Baptists etc are getting paid handsomely by the gooberment for their help in “Standing ” against those who are against the refugees .
Here’s a good article:
A short excerpt:
Islam is a political system, NOT a religion, and unless and until humanity wakes the hell up and STOPS referring to it as a religion, there is no hope. Islam is a hyper-aggressive, militaristic, expansionist, totalitarian political system designed to create a super-rich micro-oligarchical ruling class with a massive, destitute, genetically handicapped underclass below. The paper-thin faux-religious facade was a conscious, specific con from the very beginning – much like Mormonism and Scientology – a pure racket using borrowed and piggy-backed religious motifs to lend credibility to a massive, loosely-knit network of crime syndicate cells.
Islam is not a unified religion like Catholicism, with an organized structure, military grade regulations and a single point man responsible for interpreting and directing the masses. They kill one another at vastly higher rates than any other group. They’re more like the ragtag group of innumerable protestant denominations, each interpreting the Koran as is expedient to their objectives. We need to stop thinking about them as if they’re an organized whole.
All of their political and “religious” leadership needs to be help accountable. Enough excuses about “they” (the terrorists) don’t represent Islam and the political correctness that seeks to uphold, to the detriment of the larger society, the rights of the minority.
Start expelling their leadership, closing political offices and arresting anyone who utters anything in support of this irrational behavior, especially if they’re our politicians.
Stop Sharia courts.
Stop funding their ever growing families, and for God’s sake, stop all Muslim immigration.
Force them through these actions into self reflection and change if they want to be part of Western Civ.
One more thing, don’t forget to keep an eye on the Zionists who are very likely behind a lot of this chaos!

“What we must fight for is to safeguard the existence and reproduction of our race and our people, the sustenance of our children and the purity of our blood, the freedom and independence of the fatherland, so that our people may mature for the fulfillment of the mission allotted it by the creator of the universe. Every thought and every idea, every doctrine and all knowledge, must serve this purpose. And everything must be examined from this point of view and used or rejected according to its utility.” ~ 88 words
