Islamist London
AIM ^ | May 15, 2016 | Andrew McCarthy

Posted on 05/16/2016 6:44:04 AM PDT by detective

I am afraid that grim reality requires choosing the second of David Pryce-Jones’s two ways of looking at London’s election of Sadiq Khan as mayor: By choosing an enabler of Muslim extremism, the British are losing control of their destiny.

In the run-up to the mayoral election, the invaluable Daniel Johnson, editor of Standpoint, provided the essential backdrop:

Indeed, what has emerged before our eyes in Britain is a kind of Islamist state within a state…. A new survey by ICM with the former head of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, Trevor Phillips, for Channel Four and the Sunday Times confirms that Salafists are fast becoming the dominant influence on British Islam. Nearly a quarter (23 per cent) of a sample of 1,081 adult Muslims want to see “areas of Britain in which sharia law is introduced instead of British law”. Nearly a third (31 per cent) of them think “it is acceptable for a British Muslim to keep more than one wife”, even though polygamy is in theory punishable by up to five years imprisonment. Wives should “always obey their husbands”, according to 39 per cent; the survey did not ask about the Koran’s injunction to husbands to “chastise” their wives, but Trevor Phillips sees it as “a clear invitation to legitimise domestic violence”. About 5 per cent of British Muslims sympathise with stoning adulterers. That may seem a small percentage, but only 66 per cent completely condemn such executions. This suggests that about a third would go along with such punishments under certain circumstances.

It’s only a matter of time before the Queen is bowing down before a muzzy, the cross is removed from the Union Jack and the BBC is broadcasting the jihadi call to “prayer”.

You Brits deserve what is coming to you.

One wonders how things would have turned out had Stephanopoulos not been so alert. From 2008, on ABC news:

Obama: You’re absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith and you’re absolutely right that that has not...
Stephanopoulos (interrupting): Your Christian faith.
Obama: My Christian faith. Well, what I’m saying...

The Queen actually has enormous power which she has never used as it would start a civil war. But, I think the time is coming when she (or the next King) will have to dissolve the govt and take over. It appears to me that it will be necessary soon if Great Britain is to remain a civilized, free, and JudeoChristian nation.

Tony Blair put the final nail in the coffin on the once great British empire.

He certainly did.

I remember after 9-11 Blair saying it was because Muslims had "Grievances", and it was backed up by our Pres. Bush saying Islam was a religion of peace.
And Bush stupidly following it up with we all worship the same God.

Bush and Blair deflected the motivation of the 9-11 hijackers who killed 3,000 Americans from Muslims who did what Allah wanted done and followed the examples set by Muhammad ,this was deflected too other things.

Between Bush and Blair's avoidance of the real problem, which is Islam itself, they set us Kafirs back about 10 years in facing up to the real problem of fundamental Islam.

Every other excuse was made from poverty to colonialism etc. -Tom

13% of the population in London is Muslim.

The new Muslim Mayor got 57% of the vote.

44% of the rest of the Londoners voted for him.

This shows how great the influence of the Muslim and politically correct liberals and other politicians in England is.

Donald Trump and the tens millions of American supporting him represent a Fire Wall in the United States against such wanton foolishness and danger.

Khan's revenge.

London is the most significant capitol in Europe, along with maybe Paris.

This is a major landmark in the fall of the West to islam.

Yep, there might be a sequel...with Khan slinking off into the sunset just having himself ripped a new one...

The reasons driving London voters to vote either for or against Khan were firstly his party (Labour) and secondly his manifesto, which (like Goldsmith’s) was entirely concerned with down-to-earth issues like housing, transport and pollution. The fact that Khan is a Muslim hardly featured in the campaign, and most Londoners, I suspect, wouldn’t have been bothered about it one way or the other. Just as at the last General Election British voters weren’t bothered one way or the other by the fact that the Labour leader (and potential Prime Minister) was a Jew. In neither case was the ethnicity/religion a significant electoral factor.

That’s pretty much clear...and my point.

Understand, we have plenty of loyal Muslim American who are fighting the terrorists and extremists and who came to America to get away from them. Who revere the Constitution.

But we also have plenty who are not...and you have to know a way for tell the difference. The big terror attack at Ft. Hood in Texas was conducted by an obviously radicalized and extreme leaning Major in the US military. How he got as far as he got was beyond me.

It is the same type of PC sickness.

As to the new London mayor, I have read where this individual make statements that seem to have some leaning toward, or at the least, understanding for some of the terror groups. How Londoner’s could not take that into account is beyond me.

UK: Muslim McDonald’s worker planned jihad mass murder attack at Heathrow Airport

Jihad Watch ^ | May 18, 2016 | Robert Spencer
Posted on 5/19/2016, 5:55:04 PM by Lera

“The court documents also claim Pham was told to maximise the carnage by coating the bomb with metal bolts and cause as many casualties as possible.” To show how much he loved Allah and Muhammad!

“Former London McDonalds worker plotted suicide terror attack at Heathrow Airport, court hears,” by Amita Joshi, GetWestLondon, May 16, 2016:

A former McDonalds worker was trained by Al Qaeda to become a suicide bomber and attack Heathrow Airport , according to US court papers.

Minh Pham, who previously lived in South London’s New Cross, was taught to wear a backpack containing a bomb and target passengers arriving from America and Israel in the west London airport.
