Real Horror

This page and it's sister page are founded in horror. If you look at their general content that fact can't help but jump out and declare that allegiance! The fact is though the horror they dwell in is fantasy, pure and simple. By now readers of this blog will be aware of the tragedy that occurred on Thursday the 7th of July. Facts were confused at the time but now we with clarity know the truth. Real Horror has reared it's grotesque head. 52+ people died at the hands of a few extremists, many more were injured. Questions were asked as to what country could originate the perpetrators? Was it Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan or some other mainly Islamic homeland? From which nest flew the first suicide bombers in Great Britain?

No Real Horror is finding out that every single one of London's suicide bombers was British born and bred! More horror is bound to follow. The security services of this country already expect another attack. Undoubtedly Hard Right Wing organisations such as the British National Party are queueing up to label every person of the Islamic faith as a future culprit. Retribution has followed with attacks on several Mosques across the nation. If we are not careful the nation could easily divide with acrimonious results. I hope people have the sense not to over react however the human race continually tries to find ways of harming itself so I won't be at all surprised if stupidity does reign supreme over common sense!

For those who don't know all the bombers came from West Yorkshire. They travelled into London via Luton Railway Station. Their Hire car was blown up yesterday in a controlled explosion and several houses were raided. During the raids neighbours were chucked out of their own homes and told not to return till the Police told them to. Many spent the night wherever they could find shelter!

As a Liberal these situations make it harder for people to understand a Liberal tolerant outlook. I would ask that people bear in mind that not every Muslim or Asian is a wannabe bomb carrying extremist. It will be that much harder for any who have lost loved ones or are related to the injured to see it but I ask that they attempt to. Knee jerk response and retribution will only serve to make matters worse and escalate the problems. This is not a White versus Islam problem. The problem belongs to us all. In the meantime the best response is to not let them win. By continuing as normal and not letting the act change the way we live we win, they lose.
It's a bit like ignoring a naughty childs tantrum but admittedly a little harder to overlook. Terrorism of this level is social bullying on a grand scale. The acts of cowards and madmen.

Violent death or injury makes no sense! The world makes no sense!

My respect and best wishes go out to anyone who was harmed physically, emotionally or mentally either directly or by association in respect to the events of Thursday the 7th. My Father and Brother were both taken from me by the vagaries of untimely death so I do in some measure understand.

I wish murder and mayhem were confined to fiction but they are not. Maybe one day they will be. We can all dream as much! Sleep well and try not to let fear rule you!
