Great reply! Never forget the Crimean War (Britain aiding the Muslims against the Christian empire of Russia, which was trying to help free other Christians from Muslim tyranny). Sad the the famous poem “Charge of the Light Brigade” was about 600 men killed because of a stupid order, on the side of Muslims against their fellow Christians.

-—Daud Abdullah, the Deputy Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB), suggested that the religion of the attackers was incidental to their actions when he said: “Let’s not create a hypothetical problem…it can be the work of Muslims, Christians, Jews or Buddhists.” -—

-—Osama Saeed of the Muslim Association of Britain, meanwhile, expressed exasperation at the fact that non-Muslims expected Muslims to be active in opposing terror activities within the Islamic community: “We are seething with anger about this,” he said-—

Don’t look at us. Don’t ask us to help.

[claudiustg]

Let’s see, you’ve disarmed your own populace and made them almost totally dependent on the government, and imported enough Muslims to start your own third world country. So what’s the plan?

[airborne]

So innocent people will continue to die, while our governments will continue to insist that Islam is peaceful.

[snugs]

I am getting tired of this all Britons are totally dependent on their government we are no more or less dependent upon our government than you are yours.

The only difference is the right to bear arms which is what I am certain you are inferring but that does not make a total dependency.

[claudiustg]

There’s a reason this article is called “Denial in Britain”. :^)

bump for publicity

[snugs]

Please explain your comment I am not in denial of anything we have a problem but you also have a similar one that is all I am saying.

"Thanks to multiculturalism and political correctness, the UK authorities can't honestly acknowledge jihad has Muslim roots."

"Because political correctness is killing us. Political correctness is the disease that is killing the west, it is the apathy by which the Muslims are killing us one-by-one. We have got to throw it in the garbage where it belongs." Brigette Gabriel

(I love this lady. LOL!)

My comment, “There is a reason the article is called ‘Denial in Britain’” is based on the fact that the article is about denial in Britain.

As to why America is different than Britain let me count the ways.

We have a written Constitution that cannot be modified by an Act of Parliament.
We have a constitutional Bill of Rights.
We have redress for grievances against the executive and legislative branches of government in the courts.
We have States that make laws which the Federal government cannot abrogate.
We have Montana!
We have more guns in private hands and more freedom than the rest of the world put together.

As an example of the last, I could go down to the gun store right now and buy as many Romanian AK-47’s with under-folding stocks as they have, with no background check, no question, and no waiting.

Why? Because I’m a free citizen with rights (and I have a CCW). Can you even conceive of such a thing in Britain?

[claudiustg]

Oh, no damn tax either!

[snugs]

No and for something like that I do not want to. One thing to able to own and use a firearm which I agree but IMHO there should be some sort of background checks.

[snugs]

Britain like the US, Australia and Canada give their citizens basic freedoms and rights but in different ways but all follow a democratic political systemsa often referred to as liberal democracy. Liberal Democracy

A minute ago, Fox news said inside sources revealed that Jihadists planned several nuclear attacks in the US, which didn’t come off, so now they’re considering one man throwing a grenade in NYC. (Sometimes simple works better.)

London Mayor Ken Livingstone went even farther, asserting: “In this city, Muslims are more likely to be law-abiding than non-Muslims and less likely to support the use of violence to achieve political ends than non-Muslims."

Red Ken again. We're not dealing with a hypothetical situation here, we're dealing with a real one. We needn't speculate who is more or less likely to use violence, we need to address those who actually did.

Face it - these were Muslims, committing a crime for reasons of a religious war. To pretend otherwise is willful ignorance, and if people die as a result it's criminal negligence.

[sport]

Agree.

We have what we call a Republic when we’re happy with it. The rest of the time it’s just the govment. :^)

[snugs]

And I am proud to be a Royalist :o)

[claudiustg]

We fought a war over certain aspects of your government. Perhaps you’ll recall it. Oddly enough what really kicked it into high gear was when British troops marched out to confiscate some of our guns in the Concord-Lexington area. We’ve always been sensitive about that sort of thing. :^)
