« Rove-Plame-Wilson Haiku Exhibition | Main | Question: What's The Simplest Way To Say "Engages In Apologism"? »
July 16, 2005

Terrorist-In-Training At The Guardian Calls Islamic Extremism Just A Bit of Excessive "Sassiness!"

At the UK Guardian, an Islamicist "trainee journalist" Dilpazier Aslam is allowed to expound on the London Bombings.

His apologia:

If I'm asked about 7/7, I - a Yorkshire lad, born and bred - will respond first by giving an out-clause to being labelled a terrorist lover. I think what happened in London was a sad day and not the way to express your political anger.

Interesting that he explicitly admits his weak, obligatory "terrorism is bad" statement merely an "out-clause" to defend him against (as we shall see) the quite supported charge that he is, in fact, a "terrorist lover."

Then there's the "but".

There's always a "but." That's the problem.

Let's see how that "but" agrees with you, Chum:

I really didn't like it when British football hooligans beat that innocent Muslim to death, b-u-u-u-t...

See? An awful lot of wink-wink nudge-nudge support for the violent actions taken is implicit in that but.

If, as police announced yesterday, four men (at least three from Yorkshire) blew themselves up in the name of Islam, then please let us do ourselves a favour and not act shocked.

...

Shocked would be to suggest we didn't appreciate that when Falluja was flattened, the people under it were dead but not forgotten - long after we had moved on to reading more interesting headlines about the Olympics. It is not the done thing to make such comparisons, but Muslims on the street do. Some 2,749 people were killed in the 9/11 attacks. To discover the cost of "liberating" Iraqis you need to multiply that figure by eight, and still you will fall short of the estimated minimum of 22,787 civilian Iraqi casualties to date. But it's not cool to say this, now that London's skyline has also has plumed grey.

Hmmm... "not cool." I really appreciate he's using the language of youth to try to convince me!

How can I become an Islamicist terrorist supporter, Dilpazier?!

Shocked would also be to suggest that the bombings happened through no responsibility of our own. OK, the streets of London were filled with anti-war marchers, so why punish the average Londoner? But the argument that this was an essentially US-led war does not pass muster. In the Muslim world, the pond that divides Britain and America is a shallow one. And the same cry - why punish us? - is often heard from Iraqi mothers as the "collateral damage" increases daily.

...

The Muslim community is no monolithic whole. Yet there are some common features. Second- and third-generation Muslims are without the don't-rock-the-boat attitude that restricted our forefathers. We're much sassier with our opinions, not caring if the boat rocks or not.

...

Perhaps now is the time to be honest with each other and to stop labelling the enemy with simplistic terms such as "young", "underprivileged", "undereducated" and perhaps even "fringe". The don't-rock-the-boat attitude of elders doesn't mean the agitation wanes; it means it builds till it can be contained no more.

Yes, we shouldn't use those terms. They're as simplistic as they are accurate.

Dilpazier Aslam is a member of the terrorist-supporting group Hizb Ut Tahrir, described by even the UK Guardian as being Britain's most radical Muslim organization.

And now the Guardian has hired him, and gives his defense of terrorism prominent placement in its pages. Now that's sassy.

Here's some more "sassiness:"

wtc2.bmp

Sassy!

wtc.bmp

I'd like a double-shot of Sassy! And barkeep, keep 'em coming!

USSCole.jpg

Sprechen Sie "sassy," anyone? Dilpazier tells us he doesn't care if he "rocks the boat" with his sassiness. Well, consider this particular boat well-rocked, sir!

Seventeen dead seamen... the cause of death was listed as AOSS, or "acute onset sassiness syndrome."

Kenya.jpgNairobi2.jpg

I feel like I'm the meat in a Sassy sandwich!

Dharan19.jpg

Looks like someone's out for a sassy little stroll on the main street of Sassytown!

jumping_1.jpg

Just like Superman... except with yellow-sun-enhanced super-sassiness!

img.jpg

The clothes-- pure Saville Row. The extreme make-over-- by Sassy Salon!

...

Why, it's not a clash of civilazations at all. It's just the natural friction between those with no sass and those with extra-super mega-sass!

Thanks for the links to the Daily Ablution to Tim Blair, who has more.

Jeesh, ace. You begin by making us laugh and end with making us cry.

I'm much sassier with my opinions too. For example, it's my sassy opinion that this scumbag (apologies to bags filled with scum) is just an idiot with a big mouth that's going to be crying a lot louder when these two civilizations really collide.

That the Guardian gives him a voice convinces me even more that Britain is lost.

Posted by: Dave in Texas on July 16, 2005 01:33 PM

Has the Guardian ever reported the news instead of making it? There were the 2 or 3 death threats to Bush, the Ohio voters fiasco, and now this asshat. Where's a Hellcat missle when ya' need one.

you know that post would be so much funnier if it wasn't so f'n sad and true. it is so freaking unbelievable the balls this "reporter" has, and i'm so working up about it right now that i feel like Andy.

Posted by: on July 16, 2005 01:47 PM

Glad you picked up on this "story" Ace-- your treatment was exactly what I expected it would be.

Of course, whenever I read the word "sassy," I couldn't help but hear it in the sassy voice of Phil Hartman.

Cheers,
Dave at Garfield Ridge

P.S. Here's the site where I got the Hartman wavs. I offer that just to provide an excuse to one of my favorite Hartman SNL lines of all time, as Frank Sinatra telling Sting off.

Man, I miss that guy.

It's Time to Stick It to the Enemy in the GWOT!

I don't know about everyone else but I'm beginning to get very @#$%^& pissed off by the LL and the MSM that our so blind they can't see.

Please see this excerpt I posted over at Winds of Change in a lively discussion on this and then follow the links in this comment thread.

*****

Bill and others,

I believe you all are on the right track. It's fascinating to watch as a group consensus seems to be evolving across the political Blog sites. Others are starting to come to similar conclusions about what the cause is and what needs to be done to win the GWOT (Un PC - Islamofascism).

The secret is we must know our enemy and the ideology that drives it. We need to exploit the weaknesses of the enemy. We need to drive a stake literally through the very heart of the enemy (e.g. the Mad Mullahs of Iran would be a close first) and wipe this cult-like religious ideology that evolved from the sands of the Arabian and North African deserts from the face of the earth.

This ideology has been brought to our world by the radical madrasses of this movement by the oil money of the House of Saud. This is the key nexus of this mess that we have ignored for all too long because of our multiculturism, political correctness, and tolerance of other religions and cultures. The enemy is exploiting this strength of the American society. It's time we awoke and ram this back down their throats.

Dear Ace;
Thanks for the post on the Guardian's token towel-head. After initially grinding my teeth I realized young goat-breath isn't the problem; the politically correct girlie men on Fleet Street are--they hired the ungrateful poltroon to make themselves feel multiculturally better and flagellate themselves for having the poor taste to be born male, white and free.
But there is a bit of sunshine in all this for you Brits: you still have the ghastly 9/11 photos available to you.
The hand-wringing bed-wetters who run the feminist, racial-minority business we call the American media have banned the photos in America. The pansy boys who run the major media in America are worried Americans will become violent if we're shown the Twin Towers victims falling to their deaths or see the dark-skinned Arab terrorists who commandeered the commercial jets.

Keep up the good work.

I stumbled into this site accidentally, following some satirical links from other websites (yes, that's right others are pointing at you and laughing their asses off) I now deeply wish I hadn't. The views expressed here are thinly veiled messages of hate, violence, racism and xenophobia. Ok guys, you just go on beating your breasts, espousing your gung-ho short-sighted views, and enjoying your mutual dick-grabbing.

Meanwhile some of us grown-ups are going to try and find some answers to difficult questions like"Maybe we just got our asses blown off because we've been behaving like complete f*cking morons overseas and after we've caught and nailed up these guys what should we do differently to prevent it happening again, other than trying to bomb the rest of the world back into the stone age?"

Whilst we're doing that you guys feel free to sit around in this neanderthal circle-jerk, talking about 'towel-heads', 'girlie men', 'pansy boys' and 'scumbags' exposing yourselves as the small-minded, emotionally and politically retarded, d*ckless wonders that you are. Sheesh, you're starting to sound like Nazis for Chrissake!

Posted by: on July 16, 2005 08:38 PM

Sheesh, he sounds like Neville Chamberlain for Chrissake! "Peace in our time." Why do the mentally retarded always think that the answer to terror and threats of terror is to pack up their shit and run home? Why does the left think the answer to fascists and jihadists is to give them some territory, say the whole of the Middle East and some neighborhoods outside of Paris and inside of Leeds, to plan more acts of terror? Why should we make Bin Laden, Arafat, Zarqawi, Zawahiri and their ilk the new kings of Oilrabia? And why is cowardice, moral and physical, considered more mature, more adult? If someone is being mugged does this guy stand around and say "Well, they deserve it. Look at the clothes their wearing and the car they drive. If you flaunt your wealth you should expect that poor disadvantaged people are going to take it and kill you. It's only human nature for poor people to kill and steal just like its natural for Arabs to be mass-murdering other Arabs when America invades Iraq."

Newsflash dickhole: Bin Laden was "blowing our asses off" back in the early 90's. Just because you didn't know anybody who was at the WTC in '93 doesn't mean it didn't happen. Why did he hate us then? Because we were stationed in Saudi Arabia to keep Saddam in the "sanctions and inspections box". How can this guy be so uninformed ? This isn't secret information, it's recent history.

Dear is the letter I wrote to Mr. Aslam:

You do not get it. There is a GIGANTIC difference between innocent casualties in war who are accidentally injured or killed and innocent civilians who are purposefully targeted by terrorists. I should also point out that most people who die in Iraq are killed by other Iraqis or foreign terrorists and NOT by Americans or other coalition forces. I do wish people like you would stop this moral equivalency - as if one dead person is the same as any other. Once again and for the gazillionth time.... Americans do not target civilians... but civilians sometimes get caught in the cross fire. The 9/11 terrorists, the 3/17 terrorists, the 7/7 terrorists and every homicide bomber in Iraq, Palestine or any other place intentionally targets innocent civilians, especially women and children. And I should also add that no terrorists were murdered in Abu Graib or Guantanamo - in contrast to the many innocent people beheaded in Iraq. In fact, Guantanamo is really a pretty nice place, all things considered. The inmates, of course, lie about it, but it's not bad - better than what they're used to, better than what they deserve. Did you catch the item in the news about the terrorist training manual found in Manchester? It instructs all the "brothers" to claim they are tortured even if they're not. You people at the Guardian are the personification of Churchill's definition of an appeaser...one who keeps feeding the alligator in hopes it will eat him last.

Take off your rose colored glasses. America is not the enemy. Though you may be a Muslim, do you really want to live in a place that looks like Afghanistan under the Taliban? It was pretty awful, especially for women. Instead of writing drivel, decent Muslims should be outraged over what terrorists do and actively take steps to stop the carnage.

July,

You need to spend a little time away from the leftist echo chamber you frequent. Not only do you come off as arrogant, but as a hypocrite who claims to be an adult and then launches a nasty ad hominem attack on people he doesn't know. I know you think you're witty and clever, but really you're just pathetic.

I bet you and the other "grown-ups" have your pictures posted on "We'reSorry.com." Only idiots like you would see the effort to bring democracy to these areas as "bomb[ing] the rest of the world back into the stone age." You must be very very sorry b/c despite of people like you, it's working.

Reading that crap makes one wonder what the UK press is really about. It also makes me realise that Hitler had the right idea, but went after the wrong people; and I suspect we can get much of the world to help. I'm sure the Hindus would like to rid their part of the world of Muslims, as would the Chinese, and Russians. Israel, though an odd ally at times, is still an ally and one that has demonstrated its willingness to rid their part of the world of Muslims. Let's go for it and get rid of these turds once and for all. If the ragheads want to fight, let's fight.

Regarding the frustrations with the WoT, frankly, I'm beyond getting pissed at the LLL and the MSM, I'm starting to get pissed at Bush like many others. I was mad at Blair long ago, now we see Bush isn't much better. Hell, even the French seem to do a better job at sticking it to their muslim 'guests'.


(For any LLL reading this, don't get excited, while we may get pissed at Bush, the chances of us voting for whatever apologist piece of shit you choose to run for the Dems is very slim unless of course the Dems do a 180, shed their Moonbat base and start getting some actual policies together (ones that don't contain pages and pages of handwringing and head tilting).

"Maybe we just got our asses blown off because we've been behaving like complete f*cking morons overseas and after we've caught and nailed up these guys "

Let's say that is the case for the US, what about the other countless nations under attack by Muslims? China, Russia, India, Pakistan, Thailand, Norway, Darfur, most of Africa? Damn, I just wish those Indonesians would quit their imperialistic ways and got out of the middle east.

Asshat.

Ace,

Very nicely done. A very impressive and insightful treatment of a young man who has no clue what civilization is all about. To be civilized requires the use of civil behavior. I doubt that he would recognize uncivilized behavior until it blew up under his ass.

How come, in enumerating the "civilian casualties" In Iraq, no one ever notes that the primary killer of Iraqi civilians is the "resistance," and that, in fact, civilians are their preferred targets; and that "civilians" are also what 100% of the "resistance" fighters impersonate. So how many of these "civilian" Iraqi dead were victims of coalition forces; and how many were enemy fighters? It is a nice logic that allows the Islamofascists to both create the body count and blame it on those who are trying to stop them.

Posted by: John Boyle on July 17, 2005 11:35 PM

Regarding "Sassiness". You may take some criticism for the use of dramatic photos and accompanying text. Personally I think it serves as a very good reminder of whom we are dealing with in the war on terror. You've got a major pair, keep calling 'em as you see 'em

Posted by: commonasdirt on July 18, 2005 12:06 AM

Quite a nice collection of photo's and sassy captions. Pictures of 9-11 are very scarce on the internet, and nonexistent on the dupetube. I have all of these pictures of terror, burnt into my mind....I will never forget, and I will continue taking down names of those who are refusing to help America and the civilized world in it's time of peril.

What are you doing? Are you thinking clearly? What you are doing is offensive. Are you telling me that you honestly think any reasonable interpretation of the article, We rock the boat, is that the author means that the terrorist attacks are "opinions."

You guys really ruin public discourse when you do these dirty and dishonest things. An "opinion" may figuratively "rock the boat" but, by definition, it does not destroy or kill. By definition an opinion is not a physical act.
o·pin·ion n.
* A belief or conclusion held with confidence but not substantiated by positive knowledge or proof: “The world is not run by thought, nor by imagination, but by opinion” (Elizabeth Drew).
* A judgment based on special knowledge and given by an expert: a medical opinion.
* A judgment or estimation of the merit of a person or thing: has a low opinion of braggarts.
* The prevailing view: public opinion.
It is disgusting that you play such games about life and death issues. Opinion isn't terror, your post's title is extremely offensive, the author did not call Islamic Extremism "Just A Bit of Excessive "Sassiness!""

Poignantly stunning and succinct response to the Guardinista’s ex-employee Al Sassy - Ace. Now, can we finally get a collective Western response, a la 911? LET’S ROLL!

(Posted in memory of the first innocent American terrorist victims on 9/11 that chose to be more than just Islamofascist victims by charging their highjackers above Pittsburg to force a “change in the flight destination plan” and become true HEROES. Never forget these vitims turned HEROES!)

Correction: I wrote that Labour is losing 88% (now 87%) of the seats it is "defending." I think that's wrong. The right way to say it is the seats they are contesting -- that is, they don't necessarily already hold these seats, but they have put up a candidate to run for the seat. It's still very bad but not as bad as losing 87% of the seats they already held.

Incidentally, the only reason this didn't already happen in the US is because of the Very Bad Orange Man (who is right on 85% of all policy calls and extremely, existentially right on 15% of them)
No political party that is NOT also a doomsday religious cult would EVER choose a cataclysmic loss -- and possible extinction as a party -- to support a toxically unpopular favoritism of NON-CITIZEN ILLEGAL MIGRANTS over actual citizen voters.

Yup, Labour is losing 80% of its seats...

@TheBritLad

🚨 BREAKING: Labour have lost 80% of all seats contested as of 2:25 AM.<
br> If this continues, Keir Starmer will be out of office next week.

Reform has surged and projected to pick up between 1700-2100 seats.


Wow, up to 1700-2100 seats. It's not incredible that this is happening. It's incredible that the Davos crowd is so absolutely determined to privilege Muslim "migrants" over the actual native population who elects them, no matter how loudly the natives scream that they want to be prioritized, that they will gladly self-extinguish as a party rather than simply representing the interests of their own voters. Astonishing.
Remember, when they call other people "cultists" -- they are the ones so imprisoned in their social reinforcement and discipline bubbles that they will choose political death rather than dare upset the Karen Enforcement Officers of their cult.
Update: Now they've lost 83% of the seats they were defending.

Reform are basically wiping Labour out in the North. It's not a defeat. It's not even a rout. Labour are simply ceasing to exist.


Nick Lowles
@lowles_nick

Tonight’s results are calamitous for Labour. Not just for Keir Starmer's leadership, but for the very future of the party
STARMERGEDDON: In early returns, Reform gains 135 seats, Labour loses 90, the Fake Conservatives lose 36 (and I didn't even know they could fall any further), the Lib Dems lose 4, and the Greens gain 6. Note that the only other party gaining seats is the Greens and they're only gaining a handful of seats.
Update: Reform now up 145, Labour down 98.
Labour projected to lose Wales -- where they've ruled for 27 years.
Fulton County Georgia just discovered 400 boxes of ballots for Labour
Update: REF +156, LAB -107, CON -45
Brutal: In four out of five council seats where Labour is defending, they've lost. 80%.
I'm sure it's not this simple, but Reform is straight taking Labour's and the "Conservatives'" seats. They've lost almost exactly what Reform gained. If understand this right (and warning, I probably don't), all of London's council seats are up for election, and Labour might lose hugely there, as their old voters abandon them for Reform, Muslim Indenpendents, and the Greens.
REF +190, LAB -134, CON -56.
Updates on the Labour collapse in council elections -- which wags are calling #Starmergeddon -- from Beege Welborne. There are about 5000 seats up for grabs, Labour is expected to lose 1,800, Reform will probably gain 1,580, up from... zero. So this would be more than that.
People claim that while Labour has adopted the Sharia Agenda to appeal to the million Muslims it allowed to migrate to the country, those voters are ditching Labour to vote for the Muslim Independent Party or the Greens. Delicious. This shadenfreude is going straight to my thighs.
Oh, and if Starmer loses about as badly as expected, Labour will toss him out of a window Braveheart style and replace him. He will announce he is resigning to spend more time with his Gay Ukrainian Male Prostitutes.
