We Must Turn Back Before
It Is Too Late
By George Galloway MP
January 08, 2015 "ICH"
- The terrorist murder of French
journalists and police officers in Paris
this morning must like all such actions be
utterly condemned. Only hypocrites decry
some such murders but not others. Hypocrites
like among others the French government
which has been facilitating exactly such
carnage, except daily, in Syria for the last
four years. And through the agency of the
very same kind of terrorists as murdered the
French citizens today.
The provocative actions of the publication
Charlie Hebdo cannot possibly be a
justification for murder, mass murder. The
idea that God, the master of the worlds, the
creator of the universes is in need of
"revenge" against a small satirical
publication in Paris is absurd and makes a
mockery of Islam.
It was already difficult being a Muslim in
France in the teeth of ceaseless provocation
and the lash of racism and Islamophobia.
Today it just got more difficult. Those who
hate Muslims and their religion have been
strengthened by these murders. The west in
general appears locked on a course of
confrontation with much of the Muslim world.
Invasion, occupation, bombardment,
provocation chase and are chased by Islamist
fanaticism ever more savage and dangerous.
It is the road to disaster, for all of us.
We must turn back before it is too late.
