Videotape Message on London Bombings
From theIndependent Online:
In a flat West Yorkshire accent, Mohammed Sidique Khan declared: “Our words have no impact upon you, therefore I’m going to talk to you in a language that you understand. Our words are dead until we give them life with our blood.”
In the video, which was broadcast by the Arabic television station al-Jazeera, Khan said: “Your democratically elected governments continuously perpetuate atrocities against my people and your support of them makes you directly responsible, just as I am directly responsible for protecting and avenging my Muslim brothers and sisters.”
Khan, who worked as a learning mentor to children at a primary school in Beeston, Leeds, said: “Until we feel security, you will be our target. Until you stop the bombing, gassing, imprisonment and torture of my people, we will not stop this fight.”
Now, the response as usual is that:
David Davis, the Shadow Home Secretary, condemned the video. He said: “People across Britain will be sickened by this video. Nothing can justify the murder of innocent people”.
David, shut the fuck-up you ignorant fuck, we justified the deaths of the innocent people killed in Iraq without any problems. Look back at British foreign policy over the last 50 years, count the millions of innocent people dead as a result, now we have justified and even glorified this.
So don’t you dare say that terrorism cannot be justified, when Britain as a nation justifies it every single day. It cannot be one rule for ‘them’ and one rule for us, even-up, or shut-up.

So you are saying in this post that terrorism is justified?
I thought you didn’t believe that…
The terrorists killed innocent poeole, the terrorists says that they are not
innocent, which is bollocks!

I think you misunderstand my point. I am not saying that the London Bombings are justified at all. My point is that if terrorism can never be justified, as David Davis states (along with all the other New Labour folk), then how can Britain as a nation use terrorism as a tool of foreign policy?
The point I was trying to make is that terrorism is justified consistantly by British politicians as an essential way of pursuing balance of power politics in other countries, and politicians don’t seem to have any problem justifying it then.
We condemn terrorism whilst simultaneously conducting it, yet we seem to ignore this hypocrisy to suit our own moral illusions that we are a superior ‘civilised’ nation.
I certainly do not justify any terrorism, which includes our own, and subsequently I will not accept statements claiming that terrorism can never be justified when we not only justify it as a nation, we are it’s foremost perpetrators.
So lets set about condemning all terrorism, because until we do the innocent will continue to die because of the actions of a few.

Fair enough….I think the difference is that when we invaded Iraq the objective
was not to kill innocent civilians…a terrorist has that objective.
I think the major cock up was the total failure to secure anything near peace
within months of the invasion.

If you don’t like the country don’t live in it. It is highly unlikely that
Britain will ever change. Politics is stuck in it’s ways. Life is too short
to get stuck in something as frustrating as this. If you want to change the world
become the US president they seem to run things.
It’s an excellent site I just think it will cause you a great deal of frustration.

I take it you didn’t see the Ghandi quote in the top left hand corner?
You are saying “terrorists” have an objective of killing people, yet the USUK is somehow different, or not a terrorist, because killing people wasn’t their objective. Your logic is severely wrong, and on many counts.
1) The USUK did intend to kill people - they went to War. People who posed no real and/or immediate threat to themselves.
2) Many civilians have been killed since 20 March 2003
3) Up to half a million children alone were killed as a direct result of USUK lead sanctions imposed on Iraq after the USUK 1991 war against Iraq, many from lack of medicines and from cancer. Cancer that is directly attributable to the 1991 war, most likely from DU - a material scientifically known to cause cancers.
4) The CIA has for years played a leading role in overthrowing legitimate and occasionally, popularist regimes all over the world. They have encouraged bloodshed and play a part in torture and instigated assassinations.
5) The of the UK in Iraq (Its formation from Mesopotamia and brutal actions upon its people as well as its division into politically governable areas/countries) is riddled with accounts of savagery and brutality upon many of the innocent people in Iraq and the nearby regions.
6) Not content with terrorising peoples of other nationalities around the globe, the US (and most likely the UK) are responsible for hideous ‘false-flag’ acts of terrorism upon their OWN people! As the huge weight of evidence of 9-11 shows (and London 7/7 is showing to this day), and evidence of other acts within those two nations boundaries.
These few (of the many) documented facts are proof of who the real terrorists are. The Governments and of the United States and of the United Kingdom, and more often than not, NOT the actions of people who are simply labelled as ‘terrorists’ for political means who are the ones blamed for many ‘false-flag’ operations.
The information is out there George. If you check it out, you realise that just about EVERYTHING you have been told by your government is a complete lie. Investigation of this info. will shock you to your core and melt away those false beliefs the government has managed to cover most peoples hearts with. When you realise the lies and propaganda that the USUK pump out, you will experience an epiphany, your soul as a human being will be reborn and you will be amazed at how clearly you can the see lies and rot going on today.
Although probably, a life altering quest, I encourage you to do it.

I think the terminology is what confuses people. We view the London bombings and 9/11 as an act of terrorism
- unjustifiable, evil, etc - yet we view the bombing of Baghdhad, or the siege of Fallujah (using
phospherous and napalm) as an act of war, and war is always justifiable in the Western world it seems.
War is the terrorism of the rich, and until we collectively realise this, the terrorism of the poor will continue.
