Giving up (our) liberty for (Islamic) securityWe have grown accustomed to living under the constant threat of a terror attack. This news would have shocked us a decade ago, but not anymore:
The response to this attack has been equally predictable, with the Home Office raising the security alert to its highest level and banning taking any liquids onto airplanes. We can further expect more calls for ID cards, a heightened level of surveillance and more funding for the government’s security agencies. In short, what can be summed up as giving up more of our long-treasured liberties, as one radio commentator alluded. Such a course of action will be foolhardy and fruitless; it will not make us significantly safer. The government could scrap the entirety of the Magna Carta, ignore every single international treaty it has ever signed (that’ll be the day…), put a surveillance camera onto every single street corner and increase security spending to unimaginable levels. It could abolish Parliament (which, judging by recent legislation, is its fondest desire), institute a semi-totalitarian order, but we could still expect another successful terrorist attack.
This might seem an extreme and bizarre statement, not dissimilar to the ravings of some half-crazed Randian convinced that the government cannot accomplish anything. You might well believe that these security measures are essential to keep ourselves safe from the scourge of terrorism. But just consider for a second who will, in practice, be spied upon and checked at airport security. Given the current political climate and the anti-discrimination legislation in effect, it will in all probability be for the most part whites, who are not the biggest of security risks (to put it mildly). Efforts targeted at those most likely to be terrorists, in other words at young Pakistani and Arab men, are likely to be damned as “discrimination” and “stereotyping”, whilst valuable resources will be wasted on whisking harmless old ladies and retired colonels. In such a climate, the only way to be reasonably certain of catching any malefactor is to search almost every single passenger, or, in another context, to keep every single subject of the Queen under almost constant surveillance. Whilst the ex-Communist Home Secretary, Doctor of Marxism John Reid, would not doubt welcome the creation of such a police state, the rest of us should pause before accepting it unreservedly. A genuine answer to the terror threats bedevilling us would be to lose our politically correct aversion to racial profiling. Arabs and Pakistanis make up fewer than 5% of the population, whilst filling up almost exclusively the ranks of the suicide bombers. Putting them alone under sufficient surveillance would have stopped each and every single terrorist attack of the past decade. Given that currently one in ten of all ethnicities are searched before boarding a plane, this could even lead to a decrease in security checks in certain circumstances. If such a solution was proposed, it would no doubt be dismissed as authoritarian, racist and likely to further incense the Muslim community. All these accusations are patently absurd. The suggestion that a measure that would lower the amount of surveillance of the majority of the population is somehow authoritarian belongs in the Ministry of Truth, alongside War is Peace and, even more appropriately, Freedom is Slavery. I most certainly do not expect the major civil liberties organisations to be at all interested in such arguments. However, their main concern is the empowerment of various minorities, not the protection of our ancient rights. These rights come in only as an occasionally convenient battering ram to hammer through their main aim. The accusation of racism is equally unfounded, if we understand racism to be an unreasoning, a priori judgement of a race. In this case, our judgement is very much not a priori. Moreover, racial profiling should be nothing controversial in a modern, liberal society. After all, liberals themselves practice a far more extreme version of it when they presume that all white students have been favoured by the educational system and so deserve to be discriminated against in university admissions. At least in the scenario proposed above, only suspicion, not guilt, would attach itself to a particular race. The last expected charge, that an attempt at racial profiling would arouse the anger of the Muslim community, is not only absurd but actually vile. For it is precisely the actions of this community, in encouraging and sheltering anti-Western radicals, that have led to the current predicament. Now, the least costly solution, both in terms of resources and liberty, is to be rejected because those at fault might get upset. If that term had not yet attached itself inexorably to another ethnicity, I would have said that the Islamists sure have some chutzpah! The lily-livered appeasing tendencies of our leaders will no doubt ensure that, no matter how many random searches, intrusive surveillance operations or infringements on their rights the majority will have to endure, the Islamic community will keep its right not to have any responsibility for the actions of its members attach to it. We aren’t just giving up a little liberty to gain a little security, which Ben Franklin warned against. We are sacrificing our own liberties to gain a little entirely undeserved security for the Islamists.

Posted by Nick Tamiroff on August 10, 2006, 11:28 PM | # Rnl,for once I am in total agreement-but it goes beyond Ragheads.If a crime occurs,the paper will have detailed descriptions of the vehicle and clothing of the perps,but no mention of race,UNLESS THEY WERE WHITE! And since 70-80% of all violent crime is committed by an aggregate of27% of the populace[13l;ack,14% Hispanic] ,just what is a valid argument AGAINST racial profiling?There were no blond,blue eyed,White Americans among the 9/11dickheads.there are no Whites in the Crips,Bloods,MS-13,Latin Kings,or the Mexican Mafia.The major White group is the Aryan Brotherhood,which is mainly prison-based,primarily for self-protection,as Whites are a minority.Hell’s Angels,the Outlaws,Satans Slaves,Warlocks,etc.,were basically White biker clubs that were dispersed by the FBI/BATF in the 90’s.Just think-where would feel safer-walking into a crowd of noisy blacks with hoodies,and baggy pantaloons, a group of bandana-headed Mexicans,a gang of Urdu speaking middle easterners, or a group of whites pissing and moaning about their day at the office? Fact-Niggers are guilty of 99% of inter-racial rape;Hispanics are porportionally resposible for the major portion of child abuse/molestation/murder,and when was the last time you heard of a non-raghead[Muslim] blow himself up in order to get 72 virgins-Shit,most of us would be estatic with one or two[IN OUR LIFETIME!] 3
Posted by Al Ross on August 11, 2006, 12:58 AM | # Racial profiling is essential for the simple reason that it works and any charges of ‘unfairness’ from the usual non-White quarters should be summarily dismissed. This principle applies to both domestic crime and Islamic terrorism and, of course, will never be enacted because the tender sensibilities of non-Whites must take precedence over the safety of Whites and,as usual, the Jews will always support this natural extension of their perverted worldview. 4
Posted by Andrew on August 11, 2006, 03:37 AM | # As silly as it might sound, the Authorities usually profile us, as in Corcasion, for no other purpose other than we would be less likely to complain, easy target if you like, and even if we did complain whilst six other Middle Eastern terrorists just walk on through, no one would listen; lets not to forget the agitprop and equal opportunity employment. Terrorists have high security Identities and work on the inside, and if you think that is silly, you better think again, because it is fact. And that is the legacy of all the leftist Ideological shit, our death warrant. 5
Posted by Alex Zeka on August 11, 2006, 06:25 AM | # Good point on the free speech issue, Rnl. Al, odd as it may sound to you, but, here in the UK, organised Jewry has been noticeably muted in its anti-Western sentiment of late. The Iranian President, with his Holocaust-denying comments, certainly expediated that. 6

Posted by Desmond Jones on August 12, 2006, 09:56 PM | # It appears that at least 2, Brian Young, and Don Stewart-Whyte, on the left [the press says three, however, Savant, on the right, looks decidedly Arabic] of the 24 alleged bombers were white.
Modern day John Browns perhaps. It is interesting to ponder why whites like John Brown or Don Stewart-Whyte turn against their EGI aiding and abetting the cause of other ethnies. 8
Posted by Al Ross on August 13, 2006, 01:00 AM | # If, as I suspect may be the case, the so-called ‘Whites’ on the list turn out to be pitiable products of miscegenation, we can be sure that the MSM will classify them as White. The subcon suspects, UK travel documents notwithstanding, are about as British as burqas. 9
Posted by Desmond Jones on August 13, 2006, 01:54 AM | # Two down, one to go Al. ONE was the white, middle-class son of Tory activists. The other had Caribbean roots and a traditional Christian upbringing Brian Young, [Carribean roots] like Richard Reid is ‘white’. LOL Don Stewart-Whyte is the son of Dorothea Stewart-Whyte, apparently “a Canadian garage manager and a PE teacher. His half-sister, from his father’s first marriage, is the model Heather Stewart-Whyte, the former wife of Yannick Noah, the French tennis player.”
Is Dorothea black or a ‘metis’ like Noah. Is Heather [above] mixed? 10
Posted by Desmond Jones on August 13, 2006, 02:08 AM | # Heather Stewart-Whyte’s mother is apparently Spanish. 11
Posted by Alex Zeka on August 13, 2006, 04:08 AM | # Even if two out of twenty four of the terrorists turn out to be white, that would still leave an enormously disproportionate number of Arabs/Pakis. Targeted policing would still be enormously effective. Besides, I dare say that the whites will not turn out to be the ringleaders, meaning that no essential danger attaches to leaving them unmonitored, provided the others are. Finally, it is extremely likely that the whites in question are converts to Islam. Such people are obvious security risks aswell. 12
Posted by Getafix on August 13, 2006, 10:23 AM | # Ibrahim Savant (born Oliver Savant) is apparently the child of an ,a href=“http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-2308722,00.html”>Iranian father and English mother, although he reportedly is a convert to Islam, so either his father is a non-Muslim Iranian (not impossible, for instance Andre Agassi’s father is an Armenian from Iran) or he had a Muslim father who raised him without a religion. Stewart-Whyte is definitely white. Brian Young is presumably black (although I’ve heard no reference to his ethnicity, beyond the fact that his parents are from St. Lucia). 13
Posted by Al Ross on August 13, 2006, 11:10 AM | # Thanks to Desmond and Getafix for the further and better particulars. The conversion to Islam entails the adoption of a new ‘Islamic’ name but in truth these names are simply Arab ones, as Christians of that ethnic group utilise them also. This exercise will assist in profiling at the point of airline ticket purchase or registration for flying lessons,for example, and should prove valuable in monitoring ‘the enemy within’. 14
Posted by Rnl on August 13, 2006, 06:56 PM | # If we look at this story as a source of political propaganda against Third World immigration, it is a minor piece of bad luck that several of the terrorists are White. We would prefer that the color-coding be uniform, since we want to transmit the message that importing non-White Muslims into the West endangers the lives of the White majority, as it clearly does. The whiteness of some of the Muslim terrorists complicates our preferred structure. It would be better if all of them were non-White British citizens of Pakistani origin. That would make everything nice and neat. But if we think of the story more dispassionately, Islam’s ability to attract White recruits provides a powerful argument against multiracialism, though unfortunately an argument that lacks bumper-sticker simplicity. Multiracialists claim that if you import many diverse peoples into your nation, the weirder and the more unassimilable the better, and encourage these diverse peoples to retain their cultural differences (“multiculturalism”), at the end of the process everyone will gain. The various diverse peoples, by retaining their cultural identities, will acquire a sense of cultural confidence and personal entitlement in their new homes, and non-diverse Whites will acquire the opportunity of expanding their cultural horizons, which are no longer limited by the oppressive cultural homogeneity of the old nation-state. If you wanted to learn about Islam in the bad old days, you had to crack open an encyclopedia and read its Islam article. If you wanted to learn about Islam first-hand, you had to head off to Pakistan or Saudi Arabia. But in the good new days of multiracial diversity, you can visit a mosque down the street or converse with your Muslim neighbors, and if you have the misfortune to live in an unenriched section of town, you can take a bus. Throughout much of the West you can now acquire knowledge of Islam—or Voodoo, if that’s your preference—by personal contact with vibrant difference in your own country. Cultural enrichment is much easier. Our nations have become large supermarkets wherein cultural enrichment is easily available and openly displayed. But what if the easy cultural enrichment that multiculturalism promises is really cultural contamination? These White terrorists were not, we can be certain, converted to Islam after reading an encyclopedia article. They were converted to Islam by personal contact with British Muslims. Their contact with British Muslims didn’t, as multiculturalism predicts, expand their mental and cultural horizons, filling them with a tolerance for otherness and a cosmopolitan taste for exotic foods. Quite the contrary. It turned them into narrow-minded moral monsters, eager to kill thousands in the name of Allah. The loss of their old sense of membership in a group—the British people or, speaking more broadly, Western civilization—was replaced not by cosmopolitan tolerance but by a willingness to kill members of the group which, through their conversion, they had abandoned. If a Baptist converts to Catholicism, that’s bad news for Baptists, good news for Catholics, and a matter of complete indifference for everyone else. My life isn’t threatened by the fact that Catholicism has gained a new adherent. But if a Baptist converts to Islam, that’s bad news for everyone. Each additional Muslim in the West, whether imported through an immigration policy or gained by Islam through conversion, is an additional physical threat to the lives of non-Muslims. Becoming a Muslim means becoming a potential Muslim terrorist, and the greater one’s contact with Muslims, the greater one’s chances of being infected with the radical alienation from the nation that acts of terrorism require. Not only does a non-discriminatory immigration policy import Muslims, all of them potential terrorists and many of them sympathetic to terrorism, but the Muslims the policy imports may in turn contaminate non-Muslims, transforming them from run-of-the-mill citizens of the West into suicide bombers engaged in a holy war against the West. 15

And for deracinated Whites who feel little or no race-cultural allegiance to the civilization of which they are nominally a part, Islam can offer an identity with real meaning and strong convictions, both of which are in short supply in the West. If you define yourself almost entirely by your tolerance, as the multiculturalized West has done, you really have nothing substantial that you can call your own. Islam, despite its many appalling deficiencies, is at least a culture with a shape and a purpose. That may account for its attractiveness to some raceless Whites. 17

Auster has some good comments on this:
http://www.amnation.com/vfr/archives/006198.html
We should also note that Islamic terrorism indirectly generates demands for further abridgments of free-speech rights, directed not only against Muslim radicals but also against White dissenters. The latter, who insist on making the rather obvious point that Islamic terrorism can only thrive within large Muslim populations, are at least as great a threat to multiracialism as Muslim bombers and would-be bombers. Muslims are a poor advertisement for racial diversity, and opponents of racial diversity must be prevented or hindered from pointing that out. The more dangerous Muslims in the West become, the greater the need, from the perspective of multiracialism, that the dangers they pose not be publicly discussed.
