The Islamization of Britain in 2013
Gatestone Institute ^ | December 30, 2013 | Soeren Kern

In May, new census data published by the British government showed that Islam is set to become the dominant religion in Britain within the next generation.

On being informed that the girl did not want to get married, Mohammed Shahid Akhtar, Imam of Birmingham's Central Jamia Masjid Ghamkol Sharif Mosque, said, "She's 14. By Sharia, grace of Allah, she's legal to get married."

The Muslim population of Britain topped 3.3 million by the end of 2013 to become around 5.2% of the overall population of 63 million, according to figures extrapolated from a recent study on the growth of the Muslim population in Europe.

At the same time, opinion surveys consistently show that voters in Britain view Islam and the question of Muslim immigration as a top-ranked public concern. The British public, it seems, is increasingly worried about the establishment of a parallel Muslim society there.

But government efforts to push back against the Islamization of Britain have been halting and half-hearted.

What follows is a chronological review of some of the main stories involving the rise of Islam in Britain during 2013.

In January, Muslim gangs were filmed loitering on streets in London and demanding that passersby conform to Islamic Sharia law. In a series of videos, the self-proclaimed vigilantes—who call themselves Muslim London Patrol—are seen abusing non-Muslim pedestrians and repeatedly shouting "this is a Muslim area."

One video records the men shouting: "Allah is the greatest! Islam is here, whether you like it or not. We are here! We are here! What we need is Islam! What we need is Sharia!"

Their influence is not due to their merit achievements or contributions to society But rather due to their well- known propensity to murder and maybe. ( especially against Christians and Jews) In other words , threats and/ or intimidation. And it works even quicker when a society’s political elite is full of either ignorant “ useful idiots “ or subversive enemy agents or domestic traitors (or combined). If the border is open or if the politicians are spending tax funds to actually bring them in, that country is being sold out for sure.

“I really can’t understand why the left coddles Muslims, even when they are threatened by them in the street.”

Because they share a common enemy: Christ Jesus.

I agree.

However, I talked to my husband about this FR topic at lunch, and he made me understand, that the left is not interested in Islam or Christianity, they are only interested in the expansion of the state, which they will abide anything as long as they can proceed.

So I guess an example would be with worthless TSA. They use the excuse of Islamic terrorist, but really they just want to feel up nuns and terrorize us with this prospect to keep us compliant.

Sounds like what they need is concealed carry. :-)

And, all in the name of tolerance. It's what's happening, incrementally, here.

Freeze the *bullies* (target), so you can take away their liberties and rights.
