Britain capitulates to terror

If anyone had doubted the extent to which Britain has capitulated to Islamic terror, the banning of Geert Wilders a few hours ago should surely open their eyes. Wilders, the Dutch member of parliament who had made an uncompromising stand against the Koranic sources of Islamist extremism and violence, was due to give a screening of Fitna, his film on this subject, at the House of Lords on Thursday. This meeting had been postponed after Lord Ahmed had previously threatened the House of Lords authorities that he would bring a force of 10,000 Muslims to lay siege to the Lords if Wilders was allowed to speak. To their credit, the Lords authorities had stood firm and said extra police would be drafted in to meet this threat and the Wilders meeting should go ahead.

But now the government has announced that it is banning Wilders from the country. A letter from the Home Secretary’s office to Wilders, delivered via the British embassy in the Hague, said:

...the Secretary of State is of the view that your presence in the UK would pose a genuine, present and sufficiently serious threat to one of the fundamental interests of society. The Secretary of State is satisfied that your statements about Muslims and their beliefs, as expressed in your film Fitna and elsewhere would threaten community harmony and therefore public security in the UK.

End of film 'Fitna'...

"Defend our Freedoms."

UK Government answers: "No!"

Britain capitulates to terror

This is not news.

This has been a continuous, on-going, non-stop, perpetual, did I mention continuious?, pattern for quite a few YEARS, now!

[vimto]

That part ain't news I agree - but banning Geert Wilders from entering the country is a massive blow to freedom of speech and a significant additional capitulation to islam.

Coming to America?

The appropriate response by Mr. Wilders’ friends in the House of Lords would be to go ahead with showing the film and video-link Mr Wilders' commentary in from Holland.

I imagine an appearance by the Foreign Secretary defending the action's of the Foreign Ministry would be in order. Don't forget to invite the actual faceless decision maker who made this determination.

Obama is opening the borders and provding money to bring Hamas to America.

And no it will not open the eyes of those determined to not see what is before them.

Once they are done there, they WILL head here. It helps the rags that our current illegal alien president is a Muzzie.

[cweese]

Lord Ahmed??? Seriously?

[buccaneer81]

They're already here:

Don’t mock...or I’ll Keeeeel you!

[Cicero]

Funny coincidence. Hugo Chavez has just barred Lech Walensa from visiting Venezuela at the same time that the UK is barring Gert Wilders.

Two left-wing banana republics.

[vimto]

World gone crazy.

Bah!

[WayneS]

Already here...

[WayneS]

Why would you expect them do anything differently?

Mr. Wilders is, after all, an enemy of the people.

;^(

[WayneS]

I noticed that nowhere in their “statement’ do they claim he is not telling the truth; only that his words threaten “community harmony”, whetever THAT is.

[cweese]

I thought mooselimbs loved to be mocked? Especially in the UK???

[RedMonqey]

The heros that fought and died in the Battle of Britain was a complete waste. To surrender to these muslims is worse than submitting to Hitler and the Nazis bastards of Berlin.

At least Hitler would have preserved SOME of Western ideals.

No future aid to the {former} Great Britain

[vimto]

You won't have any argument from me.

Churchill would be spinning in his grave right now. Remember that they laughed at him when he predicted the War with Hitler.

For all those who gave and still do give their lives for freedom, I salute them, but Brown and his cronies have no idea what freedom looks like and don't consider it worth fighting for. What's the point of winning in Iraq and selling your homeland for a camel? I am angry.

[Dr.Zoidberg]

There can be few images more depressing than that of the British Bulldog rolling over and showing it’s belly in surrender to a bunch of mohammedan pigs.

What a shame.
