The Mayor of London

If you haven't heard or read them yet, you'll be seeing these words from London Mayor Ken Livingstone in response to the terrorist attacks:

I want to say one thing specifically to the world today. This was not a terrorist attack against the mighty and the powerful. It was not aimed at Presidents or Prime Ministers. It was aimed at ordinary, working-class Londoners, black and white, Muslim and Christian, Hindu and Jew, young and old. It was an indiscriminate attempt to slaughter, irrespective of any considerations for age, for class, for religion, or whatever.

That isn't an ideology, it isnÂ’t even a perverted faith - it is just an indiscriminate attempt at mass murder and we know what the objective is. They seek to divide Londoners. They seek to turn Londoners against each other. I said yesterday to the International Olympic Committee, that the city of London is the greatest in the world, because everybody lives side by side in harmony. Londoners will not be divided by this cowardly attack. They will stand together in solidarity alongside those who have been injured and those who have been bereaved and that is why IÂ’m proud to be the mayor of that city.

Pretty powerful words. It's an interesting source, though, considering that Livingstone seems to be a jihadi sympathizer. He has defended Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi as a "man of peace" and a "moderate." Yet Al-Qaradawi has been called the "Theologian of Terror" and the "Goebbels of modern Egypt."

This is a trend we see too often. These radical murders are allowed to move freely among us, even dine with Presidents and Prime Ministers, while at the same time espousing death and destruction to their followers. How many dead will there be before we recognize that our thoughtless genuflecting at the altar of "diversity" and "political correctness" merely enables the murder of our neighbors and countrymen?
