‘Free Jaggi’ had a blow. He’s been charged in India with murder. A political murder. In the UK, when the IRA did it, that was called terrorism. But his supporters don’t care. Just like Sinn Fein did not. This is State Sponsored. So it is State Sponsored terrorism. It’s a model which has worked well for Pakistan before.
Like most liberals I believe in freedom of speech and privacy. But Voltaire and JS Mill and all the others never foresaw the internet or modern terrorism. They never foresaw the ability to mass murder with such efficiency.
It used to be that unless harm is caused to another, the power of the State will not be used. Now that has to change. We cannot wait for murder before we arrest.
We have to stop people when they display the ISIS or the Khalistani flag. We have to revoke their nationality for it. We do have to undertake extreme vetting if you are from Pakistan or visit Saudi Arabia or Turkey.
Don’t tell me, ‘but that’s what the terrorists’ want. It’s not. They want you dead. They do not want you to limit their entry. They want you to have free speech – so they can have hate speech.
And I want my Government to have a backdoor key to unencrypt my communications if they need. I have nothing to hide. For God’s sake, we kept on telling them, the Mosques are breeding this problem, not all of them, but enough. We told them in the 1980s. We told them they are not integrating. They don’t listen. Now its Sikhism they are trying, unsuccessfully, to infiltrate – as they did Islam.
But all the time the bloody liberals said, ‘no, you are being intolerant’. And while we are at it, I am not tolerant of bourkas either. They are a political not religious item of clothing. They breed a desire to stay apart and we know extremism starts in small steps. This is one of them. It is an item of clothing stating ‘my way is better, not different, and I look down on you and your ways’. And mothers breed children who learn from parents. Stop. Enough.
When the ‘Free Jaggi’ useful idiots burn the Indian flag and seek to provoke in Kashmir through their State Sponsors of Pakistan, then display on the internet that their feelings are hurt – those are the people to be monitored for extremism. You read the warning here.
Do not tell me this will push people to extremism. I am not here to molly-coddle the wanna be extremist and plead he will not turn. And don’t tell me, the IRA were Catholic extremists. That’s because they were not – they had protestants who were Irish nationalists wanting a united Ireland. And as one of the Heads of the Church says it IS a Muslim problem – stop telling me the terrorists have nothing to do with Islam.
If it was Hindus doing it, I would say, ‘it is my job personally to stop you, personally’. I want them to know they are being monitored, watched, listened. Vigilance is the price of freedom. Either that, or more teenage girls die and a nation is terrorised. Come down hard.
