London based readers may have read of the memorial to the victims of the 7/7 bombings being defaced by graffiti apparently by Islamists with such choice phrases as "Blair Lied, Thousands Died" "4 Innocent Muslims" and my personal "favourite"- "MI5 did 7/7"!
Naturally, MI5 actually caused the 7/7 bombings , if only because Islamic fundamentalists(much like Irish Republicans), are so monumentally incompetent that they couldn't even organized a "piss up in a brewery!"
Precisely what the 52 men, women and presumably children(of all religions including Muslim presumably although no one has ever tabulated the victims by religious creed) had to do with Iraqi regime change or claims of Saddam's WMD, escapes me. Given the cries of faux outrage that followed the release of a third rate film mocking the Prophet Mohammed, allegedly "blasphemous" cartoons of same in Denmark several years ago and an obscure preacher's threat to publicly burn a Koran some years back, it seems odd to me that self styled Islamists would engage in such behaviour!
Even during the worst periods of the NI "Troubles", opposing sides usually left graves and memorials of their opponents alone( although after an IRA bomb attack on the Commandant General of the Royal Marines in October 1981, Marines reportedly entered a cemetery and smashed the headstones of recently buried IRA hunger strikers in Milltown Cemetery).
All I can do is feel a profound sense of disgust at such an inhumane act( defacing the 7/7 memorial not what the Marines did -at least they had cause for retaliation).
Anybody else think as I do?
