Our Islamic Fifth Column

City Journal ^ | Autumn 2001 | Farrukh Dhondy

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.

How can it be forwarded to all the journalists and pundits who are taking out of their rearends? I don't know how to do it--does anyone have an email list of journalists and anchors and other such people who should read this?

This was picked up by the WSJ's Opinion Journal after I posted it here. (/brag)

I agree, Islam is a cancer and a steamroller of democratic values.

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

It's already happening here, maybe worse than in the UK.

Hey, Sabertooth. Though I don't acknowledge every single one, I appreciate your 'pings'. Keep 'em comin'...you've got an eye for the good ones.

I will disagree with the author about one point, though -- if we would speed up the eventuality of just shooting these pricks when they decide to indulge a physical manifestation of their fanaticism, I believe it would go a long way to solving the problem. Hope I don't get the thread pulled, but it's a subject we're going to have to face sooner or later.
