Britain’s suicide pact with Islamist terror rolls out the red

So the red carpet wasn’t for a state visit. It was for a terrorist. Britain took in a member of an avowedly antisemitic death cult, gave him status, maybe a house, and the room he needed to plan killing innocents. The story reads like a parody of British decline, except the punchline is blood. Safe space for planning murder is not a phrase any sane country should tolerate, yet here we are.

This didn’t happen because the intelligence services were asleep. It happened because the British establishment has convinced itself that showing strength toward Islamist terror is somehow gauche. They worry more about offending than about the victims. Meanwhile, the people who should be locked up are being treated like refugees with a grip on the housing market. Britain has chosen embarrassment over self-preservation, and the bills are coming due.

Maybe the world needed this image. The empire that once ruled half the globe can’t turn away a single man who proudly worships death. That’s not a strategic position, it’s a suicide pact. We say it plainly from this side of the Atlantic: you don’t negotiate with a death cult, you dismantle it. Until Britain remembers that, every tragedy it suffers from now on is a self-inflicted wound.
