You cannot fix suicidal. The poor girl was lost. She had no pride, fight or sense of history.
The hard part was that she was nice, smiling, positive and witty on other topics like music, her child, food, travel, etc.
It’s just when she just seemed to give up on the UK it was odd. Do they want Sharia Law? Do they want to be repressed? Do they hate Christ that much?
I was perplexed. Her friends also shared the same sentiment.
Her kind will get millions killed.
I grew up in England in the 70’s/80’s, moved here in the 80’s as a teenager. Even at that time hardly any kids went to Church. The school teachers were extremely liberal. Religion was mocked. We had a couple of years of teacher strikes but I don’t ever remember studying much about history or government. My parents were religious, we went to Church. It was something I wasn’t open about, you’d just be laughed at.
...but I could tell there was something wrong. We’d lost something. The biggest surprise in moving here was that many kids/families went to Church. If they found out you attended the only response was, “where do you attend?”. I was taken aback. THIS isn’t the USA that I’ve been told about. I’d heard all the stereotypes about Americans. We all saw the movies. What I found instead was a country that had held onto concepts that had traditionally (I’d come to learn) been also British. We (British) had been taken over by self-loathing, everything is morally relative, Christian hating liberals that see no difference between any religion. In fact, they believe in our (English) “crimes” so much that they assume those that we’re “guilty of oppressing” must have been more enlightened cultures....so let them emigrate here, who cares if British culture is diminished?
I’ll admit, for years the brainwashing of what America “was” had still lingered, even though I’d started to see through it. Then 911 happened. I started reading about Islam. I started reconciling my Christian upbringing against the horrors being committed in all Muslim countries. I realized the stupidity of the English arrogance toward America. I realized that America was the last country left that would even recognize the threat of Islam, it still has a critical mass of Christians. Europe doesn’t. There are a few that are starting to realize the difference between Islam and Christianity but they struggle with understanding it because they weren’t brought up as Christian - they just innately know that there’s a conflict between the traditional “English way” and what Islam represents. The fact that the “English way” is saturated with the influence of Judeo-Christian ethics is lost on most (same for Europe in general).
I can see the frustration brewing. Some speak up - although I recall a (British) TV talk show once had somebody warning against Islam - the panel members just replied “racist” and the audience applauded. They’ve been lied to over and over, about both Islam and history. It is quite the “group think” mentality on display.
So it doesn’t surprise me when you describe this lawyer, although I can understand your surprise at the shear ignorance of somebody that would, otherwise, be considered “educated” and intelligent. What may surprise you is that this attitude is held by those that have been “educated” - not realizing they’ve been indoctrinated. It is the common man, the “uneducated”, that see the problem more than many - they’re less self-loathing and recognize Islam is not compatible with the “English way”. They’re also only going to remain patient much longer, although it’s difficult to know what the trigger will be....not long now though I think.
Do they want Sharia Law? Most know nothing of it.
Do they want to be repressed? That’s just “racism” if you try to get them to see that.
Do they hate Christ that much? No, but they know little about him, they just mock all religion due to ignorance.
Her friends also shared the same sentiment -> yep, you’ll hear the same from many across the land, sad when you consider it is the country where people were morally compelled to join Crusades. Now they think that was a bad thing.
