| Islamic Terrorism and the Injustice Myth, Part 1 |
| 2006-11-21 |
| Alamgir Hussain When four young Muslims unleashed a suicidal terrorist attack on a bus and underground trains that crippled the London transportation system and killed 52 innocent commuters on July 7, 2005 (7/7 attack), Muslim leaders of UK came out in force to blame the UK government's foreign policy for the horrendous carnage. The leftists and liberal intellectuals and political leaders quickly joined the chorus of blaming the injustice in Afghanistan and Iraq for the attack. When PM Blair summoned a meeting with the Muslim leaders (in which he had obviously pressurized them about their violent tone over the years), overnight they changed their tune that there is no justification for terrorism. What was today a justified action in Islamic ideals, the next day became totally unjustified. They even found a verse in the Koran to discredit the horrendous terrorist attack which was a creditable act a day earlier. Over one year on, when the chief of MI5 in the UK published an intelligence report on the 10th of November, 2006 about the massive terrorist plots being pursued by the homegrown Islamic extremists in the UK, the media again became flooded with commentaries and expert opinions on how the injustice of UK government's involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan is putting the country at the wrath of these homegrown Muslim terrorists. The message one gets from these commentaries is that the UK government is at fault and these terrorists have a justifiable cause to avenge the injustices unleashed by the US and UK lead coalition in Iraq and UN-lead forces in Afghanistan . |
