Terrorist Incidents in Great Britain (UK Mainland) Since 2000
99 Dead and 973 injured by Islamic terrorists this century. The attacks came from the 7% of the population which is filling 17% of our prison cells. If the other 93% of us were like that 7%, then the prison population would be at 300,000, there would be a thousand dead from terrorist attacks and 12,000 injured,
But don’t worry, the King loves you. In 2006, during a visit to Al-Azhar University in Cairo, King Charles criticised the publication of Danish cartoons a year earlier which mocked the Prophet Muhammad. “The true mark of a civilised society is the respect it pays to minorities and to strangers,” he said. “The recent ghastly strife and anger over the Danish cartoons shows the danger that comes of our failure to listen and to respect what is precious and sacred to others.”
In 2014, author Martin Amis told Vanity Fair that he had argued with Charles over his refusal to support Salman Rushdie after a fatwa was issued against him following the publication of The Satanic Verses. Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini declared a fatwa against Rushdie, whose 1989 novel was accused of insulting Islam. Amis claimed that Charles told him that he would not offer support “if someone insults someone else’s deepest convictions”. Following the publication of the book, Rushdie’s Norwegian publisher was shot, his Italian translator was stabbed and his Japanese editor was murdered. Rushdie himself was severely injured last month after being repeatedly stabbed at a public appearance in New York.
He also called on people to resist the temptation to associate extremism with Islam. “We must not be tempted to believe that extremism is in some way the hallmark and essence of the Muslim. Extremism is no more the monopoly of Islam than it is the monopoly of other religions, including Christianity,” he said.
