Fascinating in more ways than one. Callender was the same man who had first publicized the Thomas Jefferson/Sally Hemmings rumors in 1802, after having a falling out with Jefferson.

--- "His polemical, knockabout style has ruffled feathers in the US, where the Jewish question is notoriously sensitive." "The Jewish question"? "Notoriously sensitive"? Is this really how they talk at the BBC?---

I'm sure these same bozos would tell Jews that they have to put the Holocaust behind them!

Thanks for the ping. "Multicultural Britain" is an understatement. Cow-towing to every racial and enthic "minority" is more accurate---and the more violent they are the more asskissing they get.

An often overlooked aspect to all this...

The Kilroy-Silk column criticized Arab States and Arab culture, but it is Muslim organizations in Britain that are raising a stink, and most British Muslims aren't even even Arabs, they're Pakistani (Central Asians).

I happen to have a number of (non-Arab) Muslim friends and acquaintances. My whispering campaign: "Why are you letting Arabs use your religion as a vehicle for destroying your culture and imposing theirs?"

"So when are people going to get fed up enought to start doing something about this?"

Good question.

And when you have the President of the United States cowed into the same actions, it is pathetic.

Lord, I wish that fit into a tagline. That's the best summary of Islamism I have ever seen.

How about a slight rewrite for tagging purposes:

Has Steyn written any books yet - that's his cure to his past unemployment. He'll be a best-seller.

certain Muslim beliefs "are not compatible with a plural society: Islam does not know how to exist as a minority culture. For it is not just a set of private individual principles and beliefs. Islam is a social creed above all, a radically different way of organising society as a whole."

Want to keep this one.

Thanks Pokey!

It really is an Arab problem, not a muslim problem.

The Arabs are evidently incapable of self-government in the modern world.

Tough love placemarker.

Secondly he could learn something about Muslims and Arabs – they gave us maths and medicine...

So, the Greeks are directly responsible for Lord of the Rings since they gave us theatre?

That Islam combines church, state and culture in one big goody bag is something that's taught in Middle Eastern History 101.

I forget who wrote it, but a while back I read an essay that said that in Islam, *everything* is a religious issue -- a car mechanic had better be able to show how his repairs originated with the teachings of the Koran.

Radical Islam is an insane murder cult; "moderate" Islam is its Trojan Horse in the West.

I view Islam more as a cult than a religion in the Judeo-Christian mold. Perhaps there will be a Reformation-like change some day to bring Islam into the modern world, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

We're going to find out, sooner or later,

If Abdul will pray, to a smoking crater.

Oh? Then why are muslims chopping off heads and burning churches from the Philippines to Nigeria and a dozen more non-arab places in between?

Islam is a bloody insane murder cult. Period.
