Article subtitle: Radical clerics are recruiting British Muslim kids as terrorists

An excellent read. Suggest that all finish his article by clicking on the source URL.

I wonder what the percentage of British Muslims is compared to the total population. Most certainly, it is more than in the US. If the British Muslims do not see that their religion is in fundamental disagreement with the values of democracy and freedom of choice, there will be a religious holy war in Britain as they try to force their middle-ages values upon all society. Similary, in the US, we are facing years of insecurity and likely terrorism unless we get a handle on these religious fanatics whose goal is to replace this country's freedoms with their own brand of the "truth", and to destroy all those who resist.

The closing paragraph of the article says it best:

"As for the officials of America and Britain, they need to redirect the effort and money that they have poured into race relations and multiculturalism into a clear, reasoned, energetic defense of the values of freedom and democracy. Their future depends on it."

Islam is a cancer. It takes root and spreads and kills the freedom of all in its path.

Very lucid article. Frightening implications, however.

This is an excellent (and disturbing) article. Every Freeper should click on the source and read the whole thing. You will learn a lot if you do.

A very good article. A must read.

The last line of Farrukh Dhondy's article says it all:

"As for the officials of America and Britain, they need to redirect the effort and money that they have poured into race relations and multiculturalism into a clear, reasoned, energetic defense of the values of freedom and democracy. Their future depends on it."

AMEN !!!

The problem exists in the U.S. to an even greater extent. About 80% of the mosques in the U.S. are financed by the Saudis, and follow the fundmentalist Wahhabi tradition. It's almost as retrogressive as the Taliban variety of the Muslim religion.

By the way, if you want to know if your local mosque is Wahhabi, just walk in and look around. Wahhabi mosques are NOT intensely decorated on almost every surface as are most non-Wahhabi Sunni or Shi'ite mosques. They are relatively plain.

I am sure we all get it, or let me say, any thinking person gets it. Now what to do about it becomes the next question, I know this, government worldwide will not only do nothing productive about the problem, but will hinder any solution. Most are to busy disarming their citizens to pay attention to much else.

A very interesting post, and worth reading all the way through.

I question his idea of a "reformation" of Islam as being the solution, however. The Christian "Reformation," including not only Protestantism but the Catholic movement known as the Counter-Reformation, basically built on things that were inherent in Christianity from the beginning, but had been somewhat obscured in the course of centuries of struggles between absolutist secular rulers and the rulers of the Church.

Free will and individual conscience? These things were part of Christianity from the very beginning. One of the most significant steps towards the equality of women, for example, was the fact that under Christianity, women had to give their consent to a marriage, and could not be married against their will. In practice, of course, they often were, especially those who were members of royal families, who seem to have been doled out to other royal houses purely in order to form alliances. But the principle was there, and was very important.

Islam has never had this principle of sovereign individuality; remember, even the name of the religion means "submission." In contrast, Christianity was spread by missionaries who suffered themselves (the martyrs), not by "missionaries" who made others suffer (as Islam has always done). Christianity was not based on the sword, either before or after the Reformation; Islam has been that way since its very beginnings.

In short, I'm not sure that any reform is possible. Perhaps ignoring it, as secularized Muslims do, is about the only solution, if one still wants to consider oneself Muslim. Or maybe it's time for these people to start searching out other possibilities.

Great post! Thanks for finding it.

....and that Christians were an ancient military enemy.

That's okay. I'm thinking of an old enemy also. The one they represent.

The activists and ambulance chasers of the Left demanded more multiculturalism in these schools—which gave cover to the ex-peasant community's demands for the Islamization of the schools' ethos and curriculum. They demanded—successfully, in some cases—that girls and boys be taught separately, that girl pupils cover their heads and limbs, that the schools serve halal meat, that Arabic and the Quran be taught, that British history classes depict Britain primarily as an exploitative, demonic nation. Principals who resisted these demands were branded racists.

WOW! I thought multi-cultualism ahd run amuck here in the States. Sorry for the Brits, but at least we have the example of their failed experience to use as a defense against those who are so intellectually lazy that they buy the crap put forth by the left. God help us.

The guy knows how to write! This one sentence explains how this happened.
