If anyone in Britain wrote that today, they’d likely be called before some hate speech tribunal and either fined or jailed.

Enoch Powell’s 1968 speech never even addressed Islam’s qualities (or lack thereof). He merely noted that multicultural societies tend to balkanize and turn internally violent. That alone was enough to ruin his career.

Just imagine the firestorm if a prominent person today were to write something like this.

I wonder if Khartoum or The Four Feathers are even aired on the BBC? How about the The Beatles HELP!? John Lennon calls them “filthy eastern people with their filthy eastern ways.
