When I arrived in London in September it had been more than forty years since I had last spent any time in the city
Police procedures mandate that Muslim officers be included on the scene in cases where Islamic sensitivities might be an issue.
This is what London has come to. Halal food in all schools. No eating in front of your Muslim colleagues during Ramadan. Special accommodations for Muslims in public buildings. Officially sanctioned Sharia courts.
And above all, no racist speech. Muslims may gather and scream Death to those who insult Islam! with impunity. But a non-Muslim who objects to the spread of Sharia may be arrested, charged, convicted, fined, and slapped with an Anti-Social Behavior Order (ASBO) forbidding him from taking part in any activist events for several years.

If I want a dose of Islam, i’ll go to Bumphucistan.
Could this ever happen our USA?
Answer: Dearborn, Michigan: America’s Muslim Capital

Quite close. It is 19% of the Moon that is visible with the other 81% in darkness.
With Allah (aka Hubal, the Moon god) requires forcible submission to her. The Left also requires forcible submission.
With God it is a voluntary submission through struggle with the self.
America take heed.

This is the reality of 21st century Britain. This is not creeping Sharia, it is galloping Sharia.”
Until recently — as the rest of Western Europe fell to Islam — I had thought that at least the British, in the tradition of Churchill, would be the last to surrender.
Alas, this cannot be so. If anything, it looks like Britain may become the _first_ nation to fall completely under Islam’s grasp.
The article mentions the English Defense League. While many here would write off the EDL with other parties like the National Front, Austria’s Freedom Party, and Belgium’s Vlams Block (sp?) as being “facistic”, “racist”, “xenophobic”, or what-have-you, these are the ONLY political parties that have the ability to save Western Europe from Islam. Every other European political party, from the left through the “middle” to the so-called European “conservatives”, is doing everything within their power to accelerate Europe’s surrender.
For Western Europe, it’s two choices:
1. Boxcars, or,
2. Burqhas.
If they cannot muster the will and intestinal fortitude for option #1, they WILL end up with option #2.
And it may be only a matter of time afterwards ‘til we face a similar battle on the soil of the Western Hemisphere...
Just sayin’...
No, they are not.
London, Bradford, Birmingham has problems.
Liverpool, Manchester, Belfast, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Leeds, Nottingham, Cardiff.....the vast majority of UK cities do not have a Muslim problem.
1—Cameron is simply an average politician.
He isnt a dhimmi, hasnt been intimidated or bought off etc, he is a politician who is trying to be everyone’s friend and as a result isnt hard enough on some issues and/or bolts the stable after the horse has bolted.
Still, he is a better PM than Gordon Brown, Tony Blair, Ed Milliband or any Labourite or Liberal Democrat. Cameron may not be Churchill Mark 2, but he is at least a conservative, even if its with a small c.
2—The EDL are not heroes. Myself and other British freepers have explained why 1,987,456 times, and I really am getting tired puncturing the FR love affair with the EDL.

1—There is halal food in most schools because most schools in a major city in the UK will have some Muslim pupils. That dosent mean everyone has to eat, or even that the Muslim kids have to. Ther writer talks about halal food as if its complusary for everyone.
Halal food in school is no different to the Italian, Chinese, Indian, Greek, Caribbean foods that schoolchildren can eat and have done for years. Its just another type of food.
2—No. It is perfectly fine to eat with Muslim colleagues. 99% of whom dont care what you eat. There have been a couple of instances where Muslims have asked people not eat pork near them, but these were ignored, and there is no law or any sort banning it. Even at the most PC companies and organisations.
3—There are five Sharia courts in England. None in Scotland, Wales or NI, and there are no plans to introduce more. And the govt has the right to suspend and shut them down if abused.
The courts are bound by English law, and are the Muslim equivalent of the Jewish Beth Din courts which have been in the UK for 100 years. The courts cannot supercede English law.
4—No, Muslims cannot spread hate with impunity. It is ignored in the US that Muslim protestors who shout hate equally get arrested. There seems to be a myth that they dont. I can assure you they do, and the British govt since 2001 has brought in more laws to ban and curtail hate speech.
5—The ‘non-muslims’ the writer refers to are not innocent little kiddies, but usually members of the BNP or EDL, and are convicted (and usually have previous convictions for) of racial hatred, assault, affray. They are not the innocents the writer makes them out to be.
I am all for proper criticism of Britain and Muslims. But the author ‘hasnt been to London for 40 years’, and it frankly shows. Poor article full of myths and urban stories.
And poor arguments.
1Cameron is simply an average politician.
If so, England is done. He is so far below average in my view as to be worthy of scorn.
He isnt a dhimmi, hasnt been intimidated or bought off etc, he is a politician who is trying to be everyones friend and as a result isnt hard enough on some issues and/or bolts the stable after the horse has bolted.
You have not convinced me in the least: My own eyes/ears see a walking Dhimmi in that man.
2The EDL are not heroes. Myself and other British freepers have explained why 1,987,456 times, and I really am getting tired puncturing the FR love affair with the EDL
The EDL strike me has far more heroic than any other group in the UK at this time — including, especially, the “Conservative” Party.
I guess you are fine with Muslim ‘no-go’ zones in your country? We all know they are there, and what is Cameron doing about them? Nothing, I would venture to say.
I think the Michael Savage (and the Kinks) have it right:

I would dearly love to be proven wrong, as I am a fan of the way the English established their once-vaunted Empire (outside of the original 13 Colonies, of course)!
