Killing Women

Eight suspects are now reportedly in custody in relation to the triple carbomb attacks in Britain.

Details are sketchy, but at least five have been identified as "doctors" or residents. The reporting is fluid and can change, but so far one is identified is from Iraq, another is apparently a Jordan-trained Saudi, one is Indian, another is described as "Palestinian", and the latest suspect, arrested in Australia, is also a doctor.

There may be some double-counting however so we'll have to see.

In any event, there are certainly at least three if not more doctors in this (growing) group of eight.

And they had set out to specifically massacre women with exploding propane tanks, flaming gasoline, and boxes of nails for shrapnel; Hitchens explains:

Don't Mince Words
The London car-bomb plot was designed to kill women.

Why on earth do people keep saying, "There but for the grace of God …"? If matters had been very slightly different over the past weekend, the streets of London and the airport check-in area in Glasgow, Scotland, would have been strewn with charred body parts. And this would have been, according to the would-be perpetrators, because of the grace of God. Whatever our own private theology or theodicy, we might at least agree to take this vile belief seriously.

Instead, almost every other conceivable explanation was canvassed.
...
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.

Time to grow up and get over it.

The most noticeable thing about all theocracies is their sexual repression and their directly related determination to exert absolute control over women. In Britain, in the 21st century, there are now honor killings, forced marriages, clerically mandated wife-beatings, incest in all but name, and the adoption of apparel for females that one cannot be sure is chosen by them but which is claimed as an issue of (of all things) free expression. This would be bad enough on its own and if it were confined to the Muslim "community" alone. But, of course, such a toxin cannot be confined, and the votaries of theocracy now claim the God-given right to slaughter females at random for nothing more than their perceived immodesty. The least we can do, confronted by such radical evil, is to look it in the eye (something it strives to avoid) and call it by its right name.

This Evil is now in our cities and our own backyards.

And it simply will not stop attacking us until we literally burn to the ground the islamic ideology that generates it, and all who support it.

The alternative is to agree to sacrifice a few dozens or hundreds of our women now and then, to avoid offending "the noble aggrieved brown man."

Whoever's for that can do us all a favor and just die right now.
