Don\u2019t speculate. Don\u2019t jump to conclusions. And whatever you do, don\u2019t get angry. Sure, a woman is dead and others are horribly injured, after being rammed with a van and stabbed in Berlin last night<\/a>. But we now have more details about the suspect. His name is Abdul. He\u2019s reportedly an Islamist. And you know what that means. You must tame your fury and strangle your angst. Don\u2019t be Islamophobic \u2013 shut your mouth.<\/p>\n

The news from Berlin is horrifying. Last night, near the Brandenburg Gate, a vile assault was launched on the partygoers of Berlin Pride. A white van was driven at speed into a throng of revellers. As is often the case with suspected Islamofascist attacks, the vehicular assault was followed by a mass stabbing. A woman is dead. Others have life-threatening injuries. A manhunt is now underway for the suspect, named by cops as one Abdul B.<\/p>\n

He is said to be a German citizen of Lebanese descent. He\u2019s described as an ISIS supporter. He is \u2018known for having connections to Islamist circles\u2019, in the convoluted telling of the BBC<\/a>. But remember, we don\u2019t know the \u2018attacker\u2019s motives\u2019. That\u2019s what virtually every media outlet is saying. And don\u2019t you dare speculate. Don\u2019t even think, far less say out loud, that Islamists harbour a burning animus for homosexuals and the liberty they enjoy in the \u2018kaffir\u2019 West. Just put the crying emoji in your social media and forget about it.<\/p>\n

Is anyone else sick of playing this game? Sick of having their anger policed? Sick of being defamed as a shit-stirrer simply for hating violent Islamism? Sick of being gaslit by spineless bureaucrats and suicidal leftists who insist Islamism is \u2018not the biggest threat we face\u2019? Sick of being told we are the bigots because our stomachs turn a little noisily at the sight of girls being blown to pieces in Manchester<\/a> and rockers being shot to death in Paris<\/a> and shoppers being mown down in Barcelona<\/a>? <\/p>\n

It happens every time: first there is the apocalyptic violence, then there is the muffling of public opinion. We are forbidden from hating the religious hysterics who murder our fellow citizens. Already the self-righteous are self-gagging in response to Berlin. Gender-drunk activists who think it\u2019s \u2018violent erasure\u2019 to say \u2018he\u2019 about men in dresses are issuing the most craven statements about this genuine violent erasure of homosexuals from the streets of Berlin.<\/p>\n

Britain\u2019s new secretary of state for Northern Ireland, Chris Bryant<\/a>, says the Berlin attack shows \u2018why we still need Pride\u2019. Does it show anything else, Chris? Like that Europe is now infested with an ideology that hates our way of life and our free women and our liberated gays? \u2018Sending all my love and solidarity to Berlin\u2019, said Green leader Zack Polanski<\/a>. Every single one of us knows that had this atrocity been carried out by neo-Nazi skinheads, Polanski would have said more than that. A lot more. But it\u2019s a suspected Islamist attack, and so, as a faithful servant of that bourgeois impulse to crush oikish concern over Islamism, he basically says fuck-all. <\/p>\n

In fact, it\u2019s even worse. The self-styled righteous of the West haven\u2019t only turned a blind eye to the Islamist pox \u2013 they\u2019ve inflamed it. They smashed free discussion of Islamism, which further emboldened this most rank ideology. They demonised its critics as racists<\/a>, making them fair game for the hatred and even violence of Islamist ideologues. And since 7 October 2023 they\u2019ve marched shoulder to shoulder with Islamists who openly chanted for the return of the Army of Muhammad<\/a> to finish off the Jews, and the rest of us too.<\/p>\n

Will the self-hating freaks of \u2018Queers for Palestine<\/a>\u2019 wake up now? Will they recognise that they\u2019ve thrown their lot in with religious extremists who would happily put them to death for their sins of the flesh? The signs are not good. At Berlin Pride itself there were Palestine flags. At Trans Pride in London on Saturday, a shirtless Sarah Jane Baker<\/a>, the ex-con trans activist, took to the stage with the words \u2018Free Gaza\u2019 scrawled in red under his gross moobs. If that useless lump were ever to set foot in Gaza, he\u2019d have new pronouns: \u2018was \/ were\u2019.<\/p>\n

These Gazaholic genderfluids with a keffiyeh up top and bottomless chaps down below are the single scariest testament to the lunacy of the modern West. They are the fluffers of an ideology that loathes them. They are suicidal simps for the most violent homophobes on Earth. They embody the death wish of the West itself. Their shameful shoulder-rubbing with the Islamist haters of Israel, Jews, America and Britain is a camp microcosm of the West\u2019s own institutionalised self-loathing. <\/p>\n

Screw the censors. Screw the anger police. Frankness is essential now. The truth is that hundreds upon hundreds of people in Europe have been slaughtered by Islamists. They\u2019ve been slain for the sin of enjoying pop music in Manchester or a pint in London or gay pride in Berlin. In the heart of our societies there exist networks of ideologues devoted to the violent dismantling of our civilisation, and our supine rulers and broken borders are making it worse. No more platitudes. No more flower-laying. No more \u2018Islamophobia\u2019 bollocks. Only the complete freedom to speak and the firmest of action will suffice now.<\/p>\n
