Claire Short just said on Arabic TV that Osama Bin Laden’s cause was ‘just’. She attempts to temper her remarks with the following:
“So I think the killing of civilians is always wrong, all the Prophet Muhammad’s teachings said it was wrong, but I think the cause is just.”
In her own words, this woman now believes the following objectives to be just:
The genocidal murder of all the jews, everywhere in the world.
The oppression of all women.
The murder of all Homosexuals
The destruction of western civilization, democracy, liberty, an unbiased, secular Jurisprudence and the rule of law.
And of course the murder of every American, Briton, Australian, Pole, Japanese and persons who form the citizenry of any nation which took part in both the liberation of Iraq and Afghanistan.
It doesn’t matter if you wish to achieve these aims without the killing of civilians or not (much of the extremist anti-war left doesn’t seem to classify Jews as civilians anyway), they are reprehensible and nothing short of morally repugnant. I’m sorry to have to resort to profanity but kindly get the fuck out of my party Mrs Short.
Later
John
