Three People’s Path to Destruction
Here are stories about three of the bombers. What is striking is these people had so much to live for – and yet they were convinced they had to die and kill many others. I have to say that the time of overheated rhetoric must come to an end. It is emotionalized exaggeration which drives people to feel there is no hope and desparate actions are required. Are media and politicians overreact constantly. They do all they can to get people angry and upset. They call it motivated. But motivation can become desparation to easily.
I know it happens on both sides, but right now the left in our country is dancing dangerously close to this edge. Can we forget how Dick Durbin’s slanderous comments played out with our enemies? Can we ignore the rabid hate on the left which can never be satiated because it feeds its own demise? The right needs to pay attention as well. The Fallwell/Robertson statements on 9-11, Buchanan’s islationistic rants, were all greeted with the proper condemnation. And this must be the model forever. But the left is the one that demands hyper-angry rhetoric to motivate its base, which gets angrier and angrier with every political loss they have. Losses caused by their hate and America’s instictive response to pull away from hate.
Read these stories and ponder how could these people become worked up into such a desparate, angry state they felt they had to die and kill their neighbors to save the world….
First, Hasib Hussain:
He was the tallest boy in his class. Hasib Hussain, aged 10, in his final year at Ingram Road Primary School in Holbeck, Leeds, was already showing signs of being a promising athlete and had ambitions to be a professional cricketer. But he was always an unassuming child.
A few years later, however, Hussain was to become one of Britain’s first home-grown suicide bombers at the age of 18. One week ago yesterday, he told his mother he was going to London with friends for the night. Once there, he boarded a No 30 bus and detonated the last of the four bombs that shook the capital.
…Acquaintances said Hussain was once as passionate about football as he was about cricket. He was a member of the Holbeck Hornets football team, belonged to a local cricket team and was often seen playing in his whites.One of the last conversations he had with his parents was on Wednesday afternoon. He told his mother, Maniza, that he intended to travel down to London the next day with “a few of the lads”. He was casual about his plans, according to a resident, who said he had told Mrs Hussain: “I might go to London for the night and come back tomorrow morning.”
His mother saw him asleep on the sofa a few hours later. She thought nothing of his plans. “He goes to stay with friends two or three times a month,” said the resident.
Next, Mohammed Sadique Khan
Mohammed Sadique Khan had married for love. Flouting the cultural conventions of his community, he rejected an arranged marriage. Instead, the 30-year-old learning assistant and mentor married Hasina, the girl he met and fell in love with while studying at Leeds University.
His parents were from Pakistan, hers from Gujarat in India. But despite the differences, they married four years ago and only a few months ago set up home close to Hasina’s widowed mother in a council housing estate in Dewsbury, away from Khan’s normal stomping ground close to where he was born in a run- down part of south Leeds.
The couple already had an eight-month-old daughter. Hasina was pregnant with their second child. She was excited and looking forward to the birth. But unknown to her, her husband had chosen to take a path that would mean he would never see his second baby born.
Last week, he closed the door on the family home and left the immaculate gardens of Lees Holm for the last time. He chose to end his life in the inferno of a Circle line Tube train after detonating his rucksack bomb in a tunnel near Edgware Road station. Seven people died with him, 100 were wounded, at least 10 of them with injuries so serious they will be permanently maimed.
And finally, Shahzad Tanweer
Shahzad Tanweer, a bright sports science graduate, seemed to have his life planned. He was “proud to be British” according to his uncle, Bashir Ahmad, and planned a career in sport. Yet the youngster’s life went unthinkably wrong. The promising young man died in a suicide attack on the London Underground, along with the seven commuters he murdered at Aldgate last week. He was 22.
His mother, Parveen, was in a safe house last night, along with the rest of the family, where she has been “crying uncontrollably” since she was given the news about her son.
He attended Wortley High School and excelled at sport as well as his lessons. Though reports have focused on his interest in cricket, his best sport was long jump. Trophies lining the family home in Colwyn Road, Beeston, attest to that. He left school to study sports science at Leeds Metropolitan University. His father, Mumtaz, was delighted his son had not gone off the rails, according to Mr Ahmad. “He was very pleased because at an age when he could have been going down to the pub, he was regularly visiting the mosque and studying,” said Mr Ahmad.
The Nazi’s had a gift for turning good decent people into supporters of horrific carnage by playing on their fears and emotions. On a lesser scale Jim Jones was able to so control a whole community he convinced them to kill themselves and their children. So it is no surprise Islamic Fascists are using the same tricks as occultists have for centuries. If the occultists are now gaining ground in our middle class neighborhoods and able to turn three seemingly decent people into weapons of mass destruction, then we have a very serious problem.
To begin with, mosques may need to be monitored somehow – unobtrusively and with respect. I know this is radical, and it is not a slam against all or even the vast majority of mosques. But it appears that in too many mosques a secret, evil society has established itself. A very dangerous one.
