Another Attack on Jews in London

 This article first appeared in New English Review.


-The Times


On Wednesday, a 45-year-old man from Somalia attacked and stabbed two Jewish men in London before being tasered and arrested by police. Today, The Times identified the stabber as Essa Suleiman, who, predictably, is being reported as "mentally disturbed". Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia, an Iranian backed group is claiming responsibility for the attack.  

At this point, one is tempted to throw up one's hands and say, "Well, here we go again". This is just the latest example of the West's failed experiment in importing millions of people from Islamic hellholes and expecting them to assimilate and leave behind their barbaric practices. In Europe and in America, not all, but far too many Somalis have shown that their proper place is in Somalia.

Now two Jewish men are recovering from their stab wounds in London, two more victims on the altar of the country's insane immigration practices. 

The video shows that after stabbing his two victims, Suleiman charged the cops, who responded by tasering him. Apparently, the Bobbies were not armed, a curious and outmoded British tradition. If this man had tried to charge cops with a knife in the US, he would have been shot and justifiably so. Sometimes, tasers are not sufficient to stop a man on a rampage.  

Beyond the case at hand, this incident points to a far larger problem. Our political leaders on both sides of the Atlantic have allowed in millions of mostly military-age men from Islamic countries without any meaningful vetting whatsoever.  This is the result: Jews being randomly attacked on the streets of major European cities, as well as places in the US like New York City, which, under Zohran Mamdani, is quickly deteriorating into another London under Sadiq Khan. Twenty-five years after 9-11, New York has elected an Islamist mayor, whose radical values were known to all. What has happened since he took office was easily predictable. True, these problems started long before Mamdani took office, but now things are worse. The radicals are emboldened by the knowledge that Mamdani is one of them.

Not to single out the British, but what is wrong with all of us that we cannot or will not protect our Jewish fellow citizens from the pure Jew hatred that infects far too many people who we allow into our countries? Any person with an ounce of common sense should have known what would happen, and it is playing out before our very eyes. New York City, London, Berlin, Paris, Amsterdam, Vienna, Malmo (Sweden), the list goes on. Jews cannot walk the streets in safety if they are dressed in Jewish garb. Jewish cemeteries and synagogues (churches too) are vandalized by people who choose to immigrate to countries with a Judeo-Christian heritage and who show their contempt for our own religions and traditions. Every year at Christmas time, traditional Christmas markets in Europe have to be carefully guarded by police lest they be the target of a terrorist attack.

Meanwhile, both Europe and North America are infected by individuals and organizations that are part of the Muslim Brotherhood. In the US, the Brotherhood is secretly represented by the Council on American Islamic Relations, the Islamic Circle of North America, the Muslim Public Affairs Council, and others. In virtually every Western European country, the Brotherhood has its tentacles in numerous charities and Islamic organizations, which act in furtherance of Islamist principles, in many cases with governmental financial support.

So now, while King Charles is cracking jokes with President Trump in the White House, feckless politicians like Prime Minister Keir Starmer wring their hands and reaffirm their support for their Jewish community, all the while insisting that the latest attacker is "mentally disturbed" and Islam is a religion of peace, as they await the next attack. They do nothing to fix the problem, which is that they have imported millions of people who have been taught to hate Jews (and Christians) since they were born. And what is the solution? Stop the flood, close the borders, properly vet immigrants, allow in only those who will assimilate and benefit our societies, and deport the criminals and radicals. True, that is easier said than done, given the millions we are now having to deal with, and some laws may have to be changed, but if this demographic trend is allowed to continue, our societies, at least in Western Europe, will be torn asunder, and Islam will, indeed, dominate Europe. If and when that day comes, our own relationship with Europe, including NATO, will disappear forever.

It pains me to write this, myself being married to an immigrant. Most of our friends are immigrants, and I have always supported immigration. What we don't need, however, are jihadists, Pakistani rape gangs, foreign mafias, and various and assorted criminals and fanatics from Morocco, Nigeria, Syria, Afghanistan, Somalia, Venezuela, and Central America, etc. For the sake of our safety and the well-being of our law-abiding and assimilated immigrants, this madness needs to not only be stopped but reversed, and it has to be now before it's too late. Sadly, in Europe's case, it may already be too late.
