Suicide Bombing OK Says London Mayor
Mayor of London Ken Livingstone has said that suicide bombing is a legitimate tactic for terrorists to use! Unbelievable! 2 weeks ago these monsters killed around 100 people in London, yesterday more tried to do the same and less than 24 hours after that second attack the mayor of the city bombed goes on TV defending the tactics used by the terrorists! (Hat tips to A Tangled Web and JihadWatch)
"Given that [they] don't have jet planes, don't have tanks, they only have their bodies to use as weapons. In an unfair balance, that's what people use."
Ken Livingstone, Mayor of London
What kind of fucked up world is this?
Ken Livingstone was talking about the Palestinians use of suicide bombers against Israel, rather than the Islamofascists bombing the shit out of London but a bomb's a bomb. Also, a fanatic is a fanatic, and if it takes one to know one, Red Ken should be able to spot them a mile off.
Ken has in the past defended IRA terrorism, Palestinian terrorism and now suicide bombers. In a disgusting distortion of reality, he went on to launch a verbal assault on Israel. If you want to read more of his interview there's a report on haaretz.
I don't give unreserved support to Israel as I don't know enough about the situation, but coming from Northern Ireland it's hard not to have sympathy with any state that gets a hard time for defending itself from the onslaught of fanatical terrorists with no idea of basic common human decency and no respect for life.
Is it far fetched to say that Britain looks to be a soft touch for terrorists because of wackos like Red Ken who apologise for every terrorist movement going? I'm not so sure. Livingstone gave this interview in response to a "media frenzy" surrounding the possible visit of Yusuf al-Qaradawi, a muslim cleric who has voiced support for Palestinian suicide bombers. The USA on the other hand have it sussed and have banned al-Qaradawi from entering the country. It's time for Britain to take a similar stance with the preachers of hate.
