To keep Muslims happy, the UK’s Labour Party wants to destroy pub culture
American Thinker ^ | 16 Aug, 2024 | Andrea Widburg

This is not a matter of reading between the lines. The government has been explicit about its goal.

One of the things most associated with Great Britain is the pub culture. Seemingly, every novel has a scene in a pub or tavern where the locals gather, not to carouse or drink themselves into a silent, depressed stupor, but, instead, to come together as a community. It is a watering hole offering beer and whiskey—or, as some might say, the very water of life itself. But the UK’s new Labour government is not on board with this ancient culture. And importantly, it’s not waging a war to fight alcohol abuse; rather, it wants to keep Muslims happy.

For centuries, the British have enjoyed their taverns and pubs, and their poets and writers have celebrated them:

SNIP

Dr. Peter Hammond has pointed out that, by the time the Muslim population is over 10%, it’s proselytized, demanded halal food in markets and public accommodations (they get their halal, but you don’t get your alcohol), pushed the government to implement Sharia laws, and increasingly used violence to force these demands to be met—all while Muslims are actually a very small proportion of the population.

That demand for accommodation seems to be falling on fertile soil when it comes to the UK’s new Labour government, which is headquartered in London. So far, the government hasn’t passed any laws but it is forcing its employees to change their social habits so that Muslims are more comfortable—and that includes changing Britain’s pub culture:

Staff at Britain’s Home Office, roughly equivalent to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, have been instructed to make every other social event alcohol-free amid concerns over inclusivity. Sources say senior bureaucrats want to make sure “every other social isn’t the pub”

The Labour party is begging to surrender to jihad.

The irony is Muslims drink plenty, at home and abroad.

Ever been to a hotel bar in Bahrain? They're filled with drunk Saudis. And since the hotel staff are all Filipinos, the hookers are all Russians, and the bartenders are all Brits, no other Muslims are around to narc them out except the other Muslim sinners themselves.

When I lived in the UK about a dozen years ago, I had conversation with an Egyptian diplomat acquaintance about Muslim students at a British university demanding a ban on alcohol on campus. I asked him if abstaining from alcohol was a profession of one’s faith in Islam. He said “yes”. I then asked him if by banning alcohol, campus officials would be denying Muslim students the ability to choose to abstain from alcohol and therefore the ability to express their faith. He answered “You know, I never thought of it like that. You’re right.”

Bahrain and Dubai.

Muslims, in many respects, sin just like the rest of the Abrahamic religions do. Some are devoutly pious. Others, much less so.

And Europe has a great problem with Muslim immigrants who have fallen deeply into drug addiction and alcoholism, increasing their penchant for criminality.

And not just Europe. Iran has had a huge drug problem amongst it's underclass. It's upperclass, the children of Iran's elite and powerful, --many of whom were educated at Western universities, like to dress in Western clothing and listen to Western music. And they'll snort blow and drink top-shelf scotch without concern.

While Iranian peasant girls are getting acid thrown into their faces for being insufficiently covered, the daughters of Iran's ruling class are dancing at discos in micro-miniskirts.

Moooslims are not happy until your head is falling into a basket.

What Muslims don’t understand is that the Bible does not forbid drinking alchol. It puts you in a state of uncleanliness, to which the stricture is not being able to go to the temple while you have alcohol in your system.

But it does not forbid drinking. It just demands you use wisdom to see if it is right for you. If you have a penchant for alcoholism, wisdom says that you should not drink. But it is not forbidden for everybody.

G. K. Chesterton foretold this 110 years ago in “The Flying Inn.”

Ever been to a hotel bar in Bahrain? Yes, the Gulf Hotel in Manama. I went with some other Americans to one of the bars to get a beer and watch whatever sports they had on. I went to the restroom which was quite large and every sink was occupied by Arab-dressed men throwing up. They were all falling-down drunk.

Yep, same with Dubai. Hotel bars full of Saudis and Kuwaitis.

Kuwaitis also distill their own stuff - sometimes on the balconies of high or mid rise apartment buildings. They put them out of sight during Ramadan.

Well I could never understand how the British could drink warm beer. Now they have just let the Muslims take over their country.

Elections have consequences.

They elected open borders globalists, and now they are the minority in many urban areas.

They will not be able to vote their way out of it.

The US is on a high speed track to the same fate.
