   It was quite natural for the 7/7 bombers to look for a charity to finance their mass murdering. Under the guise of “charity,” jihadists are being funded all over the globe. After all, it’s for the children.

   Another wake up call, but they’ll probably hit the snooze button once again. England seems to be in denial from what I’ve been reading. We, the U.S., seems not too far behind. Then again, I live in NYC, so I can’t speak for most of the the country. Let’s hope this gets some major attention, but I doubt it will.

   It was ballsy and brilliant of the Jihadists to ask for and recieve money from the very people they sought to destroy. Does Acorn get any of our tax money?

   _Alms for Jihad_-book “burned” in UK-by publisher - Cambridge Press. - because of Islamic pressure by UK Saudi-billionaire….
   The book-_Alms for Jihad_ — told the true story of Islamic-terrorist “charities”..

   THUS — the book BURNING!!!!!

   The book–:

   _Funding Evil_ still available in US…

   It - also - exposes the money trail of Islamic Terrorist funding!

   Every country knows we’re like the Brits and that we will believe anything and donate to everybody.

   After Katrina, Muslim charities with no board of directors on their website were listed on Foxnews. I wonder where the money went…

   Tonight I saw a story of Chinese kids hurt by the earthquake visiting the Olympics, and then the pitch, “how you can help.” I wonder where the money is going…

   I think the average Brit is tired of such political correctness nonsense. It’s the institutions like the BBC and other government departments that lack the balls to question anything Islamic.

    I read everything carefully - past my bedtime again.
    As far as the ratings of believabilty for broadcast stations - none of them are good - which isn’t surprising - not sure what that has to do with the 7/7 bombing.

    It is true - that the BBC charity unwittingly contributed money (meant for the Leeds Community School) to the bombers.

    The real shame is that there were people that worked in the bookstore and the school who were aware of the bombers “hate for western culture” and apparently did nothing about it.

    After 7/7 - as with our 9/11 - people are now much more alert towards such activity.

    We have to stop ignoring what is going on around us. We have to stop letting things that seem “funny” go because we’d be embarrassed if it was really nothing. I personally work with charities, and will be keeping my eye on where the monies are going.

    Relatives of those who died in the atrocity claimed Children in Need was hampered from asking about the money for fear of causing offence to Muslims.

    Great. Just great. 7/7 could’ve been prevented had this charity asked about what was going on with all the money they were handing out. Instead they were worried about offending muslims and people died as a result.

    I have started to really question charities since spring when my Catholic Church handed out a flyer. It was for a meeting sponcered by Catholic Charites, and it encouraged all “immegrants” to come and hear about their rights in the community, what to do if they are pulled over by the police, etc. I could not believe it! I went to the Catholic Charites web site, (feel free to check this), to learn that they also pay for lawers for “immegrants” facing deportation, needing housing, food, etc… Ummm?

    Also this week, the TV and radio stations in my area have started up the “back to school” drives asking for school supplies for needy children.

    Who are these kids? Anchor babies? Illegals fresh in from (insert country here)?

    I have to wonder… Are these charites creating a class/group of people who come to expect them?

    Do little Jesus’ parents come to count on the fact that he will be getting his school supplies for free, lunches for free, and christmas presents for free (Don’t forget about Toys-for-Tots), and there-for the parent can put their tax-free money towards other things like a new Plasma TV?

    Just wondering?

    You are so right!

    When ordinary people here in the UK hear about the latest PC nonsense they are so often quoted as saying that it’s “Political Correctness gone mad”.

    My thinking is that it’s not Political Correctness gone mad - it is Political Correctness.

    Ordinary people over here are sick and tired of it. As usual it’s those in authority that are causing the problem.

    Conservatives appear to have been caught unawares in both the UK and the USA. The left have been infiltrating institutions like the BBC for years.

    I for one can think of no way to take them back!

    (I prefer to call it PC fascism as this is much easier to say and more accurate).

    Well there is one way…Armed insurrection. Mind you for Britain its not really a viable option anymore. But it has to be considered. I think you are at the point over there that peaceful action is no longer going to be effective.

    Hey, while we’re talking about the boobs at the BBC, check who’s at the bottom of the media believability list (via Pew Research Center). With damned good reason:

    Not that MM needs any help, but I think if you read the quote above, she wasn’t linking it to the 7/7 bombing.

    I am not fond of armed insurrection wsmith6565. It too often results in a worse situation, indeed I can only think of one armed uprising that produced a better system and that happened some 230 years ago - one of our colonies got a bit above themselves. I wonder what became of them.

    Besides, the UK government is obsessed with disarming ordinary citizens (perhaps they are taking more note of their unpopularity than we give them credit for)

    I can, unfortunately, believe that the very liberal BBC gave money to terrorists and didn’t questions them due to Political Correctness.

    What I can’t believe is that CNN scored so much higher than Fox. I didn’t realize there were so many rubes out there watching the ‘news’.

    Political Correctness has only one purpose, and that is to camouflage and ultimately destroy truth. We must euphemize despicable behaviors and practice rhetorical yoga with dangerous beliefs so as not to offend people who are by definition offensive. What is happening in Britain is a preview of what we have coming if we continue to allow the morally- and intellectually-vacant to dictate what acceptable debate practice is in the U.S.

    No one should like armed insurrection. However, I don’t see much of a chance for any change in Britain short of that.

    I don’t think you can attain revolution by bloodless means. It’s that bad. If you shrink from it, be prepared for slavery.

    Another strong case for conceal carry:

    A 25-year-old British man is in a coma after three men savagely beat him and left him for dead Saturday when he reportedly failed to give them a cigarette, the U.K.’s Daily Mail is reporting.

    Martin Bramhall suffered serious injuries to the head when he was attacked by the men while waiting for a taxi after a night out, the Mail said.

    According to his girlfriend, Mahjabeen Ansaru, Bramhall was waiting at the taxi stand when the men approached him and asked him for a cigarette. When he said no, they began violently beating him.

    “He came home in a taxi and came straight to the bedroom,” Ansaru told the Mail. “He was unsteady on his feet and … the right side of his face was covered in blood. He was crying and not making any sense.”

    According to the Mail’s report, doctors fear that even if Bramhall survives, he may have permanent brain damage as a result of the beating.

    The attackers, who have not been caught, are said to be white men in their late teens or early 20s, the Mail said.

    “Children in Need” helped fund the 7/7 bombers’ jihad– and how the ninnies dispensing the philanthropic funds didn’t want to ask the (non-needy children) terrorist recipients what they were doing with the money for fear of offending Muslims:

    Of course not! We can’t offend the Muslim male, that would be….islamophobic!! No! We must be tolerant, even if it means the end of our culture! At least we were tolerant!
