of "psychological torture"
By Robert Spencer
"Psychological torture." Come on. If these demonstrators had any concern at all for preventing another terrorist attack in the U.K., they would accept the inconvenience of questioning as the price of preserving British society. I myself am often singled out for extra screening, and while it can be annoying, I would never term it "psychological torture" -- I am glad to see security personnel doing their jobs.
And then Mohammad Asif affects high dudgeon at Afghans being asked to become "informers and spies"! You would think that he and the people he represents would be honored at being asked to join the war effort against those they themselves would call hijackers of their religion. I am about to go out to speak at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and I know what I will find there: large numbers of angry Muslims pretending that I am fabricating the jihad terror threat and the textual grounds within the Qur'an and other Islamic texts that jihadists point to in order to justify their actions. They will loudly complain about the bare suggestion that some Muslims might be waging a jihad against the West. But ask them to join, then, in the defense of the West, and they'd be as outraged as these protesters in Scotland. Read more ...
