UK Press: "Islam is a Death Cult That Appeals to Social Misfits".....
Unusually harsh commentary from the London Times.....
It is the exclusive club that will accept almost anyone as a member.To become a Western foot soldier of jihadist Islam, and in some cases its sacrificial, exploding lamb, requires no one to pass a test of intellect or psychological stability.
Numerous examples of would-be martyrs for the cause have illustrated that violent Islamism is a death cult that holds a particularly seductive appeal to the social misfit.
The ideology is easy to absorb. It paints the world in black and white. And it offers you a chance to belong......It can begin in the privacy of the bedroom, on the street corner, in the coffee shop, the mosque, the prison.
The world is a simple place, they learn. It is inhabited by only two types of people: Muslim and non-Muslim.
God’s intention, as revealed to his final prophet, Muhammed, is that Islam should reign supreme. When the Prophet’s example is followed universally, all will be peace, harmony and beauty.

For what it's worth, the Times is the most conservative paper in the UK... (although conservatism in Europe is very different from American conservatism).

THE TIMES, unlike its rival (The Daily Dhimmigraph a.k.a. Daily Telegraph), at least does hard-hitting, factual reports on Moslem sects and practices (FGM, child brides, wife-beating, polygamy,etc). But dhimmitude still prevails with the likes of Andrew Norfolk (this article's writer): he's blathering on about 'militant islamism'; these writers spend more time thinking up new expressions for the same old evil rather than naming Islam and Moslems as the problem. Yet the readers' comments in most newspapers seem to know the truth so you get this crazy situation of msm parroting the same old lies while the readers are shouting for the gates to be shut and the enemy already within to be thrown out. When the breaking point finally comes, it will be a great deal worse than it need have been, largely due to msm's immoral and wilfull blindness. (OK, I'm done with my Rant for the Day.)
