I think Peter Worthington pretty much sums things up in his recent column on why people need to be even more diligent in this fight against terrorism. While we seem to have let down our guard and relegated terrorism to a matter that just occurs "over there" some four years after September 11th, Worthington reminds his readers that the police are in the front lines of this war and should be given all of the respect and cooperation that they need to prevent another accidental shooting like the one that occurred on July 21, 2005. Above all else, Worthington notes that the most important sector of the world that needs to step up in their diligence is the Muslim community. I think that he put it best when he wrote:
The ones to blame for this perilous policy are Muslims -- not that all Muslims are terrorists, but most terrorists these days are Muslim.I'd have to say that Worthington might have his rough edges but he seems to always come through with some great advice.
The Muslim clerics who rant about civil rights and police brutality in London (or Guantanamo Bay or Abu Ghraib) should first admonish those whose faith is so perverted that they feel a duty to kill infidels.
How dare leaders of Muslim mosques and organizations accuse police of over-reacting and accusing them of making London streets unsafe for people to walk on!
The police aren't bombing anyone, and it's just luck that those backpacks and individuals caught the day before the shooting of the Brazilian did not explode, killing and wounding as the 7/7 bombs did.
