Burgess’ “1985” was also a prescient vision of an Islamist England.

An excerpt about Burgess’ view of the future:
“Kidnapping and skyjacking by dissident groups. Microbombs of immense destructiveness place in public buildings. More thorough frisking at airports and at cinema entrances and on railroad stations – indeed, everywhere: restrictions on human dignity in the name of human safety. New oil strikes, but the bulk of the oil in the hands of the Arabs. More and more Islamic propaganda. Islamic religion taught in schools as a condition for getting oil”

Wow. Sound familiar?
