It Was Only a Matter of Time
It has come to this in Britain. The only surprise to me is that it took so long, and that it was in Britain rather than France or the Netherlands. Why are they adopting the tactics of the terrorists? Because they work.
The next step will be when they begin to carry out their threats. The authorities will crack down much harder on non-Muslim Britons attacking Muslims than they have on the Muslims for their attacks and incitement; such is the nature of the "white guilt" cult. But these crackdowns will lead to increased, not decreased, attacks on Muslims as more people become convinced that the government will not protect them against a thuggish Muslim subculture. Unfortunately, the non-thuggish Muslims will also be attacked. They will radicalize, in self defense. And this will drive the cycle downwards.
I have long maintained three things: 1) people will fight the war against the jihadis if their governments don't; 2) Europe will have a civil war (Muslims v everyone else) in our lifetime; 3) Europe's politics, at the next tipping point, will go radically right wing to the same degree that they have been radically left wing since before WWII. I believe that this is evidence that the first point is starting to come about, and that it will lead to the second.
