Fundamentally, we're useful idiots
Anthony Browne
As the rest of Europe acts, extreme Islamists take advantage of British naivety

ELEMENTS WITHIN the British establishment were notoriously sympathetic to Hitler. Today the Islamists enjoy similar support. In the 1930s it was Edward VIII, aristocrats and the Daily Mail; this time it is left-wing activists, The Guardian and sections of the BBC. They may not want a global theocracy, but they are like the West’s apologists for the Soviet Union — useful idiots

Islamic radicals, like Hitler, cultivate support by nurturing grievances against others. Islamists, like Hitler, scapegoat Jews for their problems and want to destroy them. Islamists, like Hitler, decree that the punishment for homosexuality is death. Hitler divided the world into Aryans and subhuman non-Aryans, while Islamists divide the world into Muslims and sub-human infidels. Nazis aimed for their Thousand-Year Reich, while Islamists aim for their eternal Caliphate. The Nazi party used terror to achieve power, and from London to Amsterdam, Bali to New York, Egypt to Turkey, Islamists are trying to do the same.

Steyn is brilliant. What he says of the generous UK system of welfare is equally true and possibly even more giving in Canada. Couple that with an idiot like Carolyn Parrish who panders to the Imams to stay in power and curses the US....I have only one question - when can we get this fella to run up here and clean out this sty of a parliament?

[A. Pole]

Living off of welfare under British rule demoralizes Muslims, especially if they are told by their leaders that their true coarse in history is to rule most of Europe under a powerful new Islamic theocracy.

Actually in the past Muslims after conquering the new fresh country did live off the welfare as the conquered dhimmis had to pay taxes. Only when the conquered population shrunk too much this arrangement collapsed.

Steyn is a genious another great article.. Keep them coming.

[vaudine]

Mark Steyn should be required reading in all HS and college civics, govt., history,journalism classes. He hits it right on the head. I really would like to know the statistics of how many Americans and British know about the historical spread and empire questing of radical Islam. If all they read and hear is the western media, then, of course, it is new and all George Bush's fault.

Great stuff! Thanks for the ping, Pokey!

Here the Government talks about deporting extremist imams, but does nothing. In contrast, France has deported ten radical imams in the past two years, with another one deported to Algeria last week, and ten more are under police surveillance. In France, no mosque is off limits to the police. While Britain welcomes Sheikh al-Qaradawi, Germany last week deported an imam who simply supported the Muslim Brotherhood. In Bavaria alone, 14 “hate preachers” have been deported since November 2004, and a further 20 have received notifications of deportation.

Ouch! Thats gotta hurt. The article points out that the British are more lenient against the islamofascist than even >gasp< FRANCE! Oh the shame!

Oops, this was meant as a reply to post #25 and the Times Online article that we mentioned within.

Steyn is dead-on brilliant. He has the guts to point out what very few dare to think: the goal of Islam/muslims is to spread itself throughout Europe and the West. Muslims have no interest in compromise; they want an Islamic world. Do we now see why the Crusades were so vital? Poor Britain, I seriously doubt the UK can withstand the onslaught...
