Gatestone Institute ^ | 12/3/18 | Soerent Kern

February 1. Foreign Office officials invited 1,800 female staff members to wear Islamic headscarves to mark World Hijab Day. The department gave away taxpayer-funded headscarves, claiming they symbolized "liberation, respect and security." Critics, citing the compulsory veiling of women in Islamic countries such as Iran and Saudi Arabia, said the garment is a symbol of male oppression. Tory MP Andrew Bridgen said, "I'd like to know whose bright idea this was. It is ridiculous, a complete waste of taxpayers' money and not the business of a government department. I can't see the Foreign Office promoting Christianity or the handing out of crosses."

February 1. Max Hill QC, the independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, declared that it is "fundamentally wrong" to use the phrase "Islamist terrorism" to describe attacks carried out in Britain and elsewhere. Hill said that the word terrorism should not be attached "to any of the world religions" and that the term "Daesh-inspired terrorism" should be used instead. Tory MP Philip Davies blasted Hill for "pandering" to political correctness: "It might not be acceptable in the trendy metropolitan circles he moves in, but all he's doing is showing how out of touch he is with the public at large. I suggest this politically-correct snowflake gets out more."

February 1. The Home Office published the report of an 18-month independent review into the application of Sharia law in Britain by so-called Sharia councils. The review, chaired by Professor Mona Siddiqui, a professor of Islam at the University of Edinburgh, proposed legislative changes that would require Muslim couples to undergo a civil marriage before or at the same time as their Islamic ceremony. Such a requirement would provide women with legal protection under British law. The review said that nearly all those using Sharia councils were females seeking.... .....

Willingly bowing down to their new masters. Making it easy for their replacements to replace them.

Not without the English. Without them, no English culture. Without that, no England.

The English language and identity is itself a synthesis and a patch work of different nationalities and tongues. But the Normans showed their worth in battle, by inventing stirrups and breeding big horses. The Saxons were never able to remove them, but their adamant insistence on their own ways of doing things eventually turned into a newly synthesized language. The Scottish Stuarts failed to maintain their monarchy because they lost the crucial battles, but they kept their customs, and to this day the crown prince spends time in the public eye posturing around in a kilt. It’s the respect you give to a vanquished but worthy opponent.

But this Islamic invasion is nothing of the kind. They have proved their worth in street riots with police stymied by ROE set down by politicians. In an honest-to-G-d no-holds-barred battle, they would be sent packing. They don’t deserve to have their culture “celebrated”.

Does this ‘month of multi-culturalism’ include a celebration of the indigenous cultures of the British Isles, or is that considered racist?

Islam. When worshipping Satan just isn’t evil enough.

The Beaker People have been unfairly marginalized. And what about those Picts? What’s wrong with painting yourself blue and galloping around naked on horseback? Scared the crap out of the Romans.

Do these idiots know that the Iranian or Saudi women who don’t want to wear the hijab get throw in jail or worse? They are celebrating the oppression of women.
