The trial of six British jihadists accused of attempting to construct bombs in order to murder their fellow countrymen has made for some of the grimmest news since, well, four British jihadists actually did so.

Back last July, of course, the British left were busy wringing their hands and wailing that the cause of all the attempted and actual self-detonations was alienation, racism, Islamophobia, and any number of other, strangely Islam-friendly, talking points so beloved of liberals. This considered, it’s of great interest to actually hear from a group of would-be bombers in person:

David Waters QC, for the prosecution, said: “Jawad Akbar referred to attacks upon the utilities, gas, water or electrical supplies.
“Alternatively, a big nightclub in central London might be a target.”
Mr Akbar allegedly said: “The biggest nightclub in central London, no one can put their hands up and say they are innocent - those slags dancing around.”
Later, he was recorded saying: “I think the club thing you could do but the gas would be much harder.”

… So, not much in the way of angst and cultural alienation there, then. In fact, not much of anything at all beyond an utter, utter contempt for human life. But wait, there’s more:

Mr Mahmood was allegedly recorded saying the Madrid bombings were “absolutely beautiful”, while brother Shujah said it would have been “fantissimo” if they had been staged during the holidays to target families.

And more:

He said Mr Mahmood had said: “You could get a job in a soccer stadium as a beer vendor.
“You just put poison in a syringe, injecting it in a can and put a sticker on it which would stop it leaking and give it out.
“Or you could get mobile vending carts - all those vans going round selling burgers. He said he had done it. I didn’t believe it.
“He said you could stand on street corners selling poison burgers and then just leave the area.”

When you put all of this together, then, the picture that emerges is one of men who hate us unconditionally, and who positively relish the prospect of causing as much suffering as possible. In particular, Jawad and his cohorts seem to gleefully focus on the shock value of interrupting the English at play — Whether we’re nightclubbing, drinking beer and watching football, or taking our families on holiday (’fantissimo’), no target seems to have been too soft for these scumbags, no victim too helpless or unsuspecting.

This evidence presents Islamofascism’s enablers on the left with something of a problem. After all, in the past they’ve been fortunate (if that’s the right word) in either being able to argue that suicide-bombers take their secrets to the grave, or, failing that, to concoct wild conspiracy theories (as happened with last year’s ricin plot) that cast doubt on precisely what the intentions of the Islamopaths in question actually were.

Not so this time.

Right now, we’re getting an up-close-and-personal look into the workings of the global jihad. And wouldn’t you know it? The moment that happens, all the left’s cherished shibboleths about ‘alienation’ and ‘Islamophobia’ suddenly loose their power. We’re not looking at ‘troubled’ young men, let alone ‘insurgents’ or ‘minutemen’. These guys are just garden-variety psychopaths, and everyone can see it.

So what to do? What to do? Well, if you’re a leftist drone working for the BBC, Plan B appears to be one of scrubbing all references to Islam from the reporting of the trial. Indeed, over the course of one, two, three, four, five, six articles on the proceedings, the word ‘Muslim’ makes only one appearance, while ‘Islam’ gets no mention at all … Which is, one might think, a little odd considering the obvious importance of the RoP to these creatures.

Because, surely, there’s no one alive today who isn’t fully aware of the relationship between Islamism and terror. This being the case, the only question is whether the BBC think so little of the truth that they are willing to make such a glaring omission, or that they think so little of the intelligence of their readers they believe any of us will be fooled by it. Pick your insult.
