SO
WILL BRITAIN ONE DAY BE MUSLIM?

SATURDAY ESSAY
[Daily Mail-May 5-2007]
*
Our failure to have children.
Welfarism.
Political Correctness.
And a
LACK of WILL
to fight Islamic extremism
THIS WEEK has been another terrible one
for those of us who want a society in which all races, religions and
cultures mix to their mutual advantage and
ENRICHMENT.
On Tuesday, five men were sentenced to
life in prison for plotting to use a huge fertiliser bomb in what would
have been the UK's largest mass murder.
Omar Khyam, Salahuddin Amin, Anthony
Garciaand Jawa Akbar -first and second generation immigrants - responded
to the tolerance of the British people
BY TRYING TO KILL AS MANY OF THEM AS
POSSIBLE.
It is absurd to hope that the exposure
of their evil after a 13-month trial which cost an estimated
£50,000,000
-has finally provided the wake-up call
that this slumbering country so badly needs?
I'm one of those old-fashioned
immigrants to this country who feels passionately grateful, is proudly
British (as well as Irish -having been born in Dublin) and believes that
immigrants have more duties than rights. And further, that one of those
is to adjust to British society rather than expecting it to adjust to
them. [ has been the practice for some decades but more so during the
Blair years.]
However, one aspect of contemporary
British society which I refuse to adjust to is its weakness in the face
of the
ENEMY WITHIN
In my many conversations with
like-minded people about the threat that radical Islam poses to the
BRITISH WAY OF LIFE
-And indeed, to European civilisation
-we frequently end by despairingly agreeing that the
WEST
-seems intention committing
POLITICAL and CULTURAL
SUICIDE.
When we look starkly at the demographic
statistics, the wimpishness of our
ESTABLISHMENT
-in the face of the
THREAT
-the perversions perpetuated by
POLITICAL CORRECTNESS
-and our passivity, it's hard to avoid
the
CONCLUSION
-that within a couple of generations
ISLAM
-will be in
CONTROL of EUROPE
And before anyone says that there
nothing wrong if this happened, since the vast majority of
MUSLIMS
are tolerant people who would not dream
of interfering with
OUR WAY OF LIFE
-it's necessary to point out that
in
MUSLIM COUNTRIES
, it's usually the radicals and
extremists
MULLAHS
-who regard
TOLERANCE
AS A VICE
-WHO MAKE THE RUNNING.
This occurs too in microcosm in
MUSLIM GHETTOS
around
EUROPE
We saw the frightening fundamentalist
fringe of
ISLAM
-marching, threatening and perpetuating
violence over the cartoons depicting
MOHAMMAD
IN
DENMARK
while the majority of Muslims - who,
yes, of course are tolerant and decent - kept their mouths shut and
stayed at
HOME
YES, Islam may be a great religion. BUT
-in its fundamentalist version, some of
its values are antipathetic to ours, and if they triumph in
EUROPE
-they will
THREATEN
OUR VALUES
such as
FREEDOM OF THOUGHT
and
SPEECH
and the spirit of intellectual inquiry
that made
EUROPEAN CIVILISATION
Great and Prosperous
The danger of ending up like these
poor, despotic and medieval
Islamic States
-in which millions live miserably is
the prospect that
CHRISTIANS
HINDUS
MODERATE MUSLIMS and NON-BELIEVERS
-should be uniting
TO PREVENT
BUT THE TRUTH IS WE ARE DOING LITTLE
TO STOP IT.
Consider first a few chilling
statistics.
EUROPEANS ARE FAILING TO REPRODUCE
[Yet in our own island millions of
potential citizens have been
SLAUGHTERED AT BIRTH
thanks to David Steels -Abortion Bill
of 1965?
It is still taking place in 2007 though
there is NOW an growing awareness of the tragedy to the potential
mother and to society in general that many more doctors today are
refusing to condone the
MURDER.
Recently the sight of full grown
foetuses being deprived of their lives has now brought the horror and
injustice of the action to destroy life.
In an age of contraception of many
devices and anti-life pills it is unbelievable that any potential mother
was unable to take the necessary steps to prevent conception.
David Steels Bill was to prevent
back-street abortions and he himself a few ears ago voiced his concern
as to what has happened over the years since.]
*
Consider first a few chilling
statistics.
Europeans are failing to reproduce.
Just to keep the population steady, you need 2.1 births per women
[This is a case for Government action
by offering cash and other vital services to enable the reluctant mother
to do her best for her community and country.]
However in 2005, the European
average was 1.38.
In Ireland it was 1.9
France it was 1.89
Germany 1.35
Italy 1.23
Britain scored in the middle of this
range with 1.6
BUT
That was because - like France - we
have a large
MUSLIM POPULATION
with a high birth rate. Indeed,
MUSLIMS
are out breeding
non-Muslims
through out
EUROPE
[Many of whom have absolutely no
intention of integrating -
Thank you very much Mr Blair -we don't
think so.]
'Just look at the development within
Europe.'
said a triumphant Norwegian Imam a few
months ago
'where the number of
MUSLIMS
is expanding like mosquitoes.
Every Western women in the EU is
producing an average of 1.4 children. Every Muslim women in the same
countries is producing an average of 3.5 children.
'OUR WAY OF THINKING WILL PROVE MORE
POWERFUL THAN YOURS' he said.
The big question this poses is:
WHY ARE WE NOT REPRODUCING?
There are many reasons, but probably
the most important are the decline of religion and the liberation of
women.
[The populations which have the
stronger religious stance will be the eventual rulers of Europe. It can
be a Christian Europe or a Muslim Europe. The Governments of Europe and
the shrinking United Kingdom have to decide.]
In Ireland, when the Roman Catholic
Church effectively ran society, sex for procreation, contraceptives were
banned, the normal size for a family was around five or six children,
bur 12 or 13 were not uncommon.
As the country embraced secularism in
the 1980s, birth rates plummeted, exacerbated by the new -found
confidence of women that made them choose careers rather than
domesticity.
WHEREAS in the 1970s, I was regarded in
both the UK and Ireland as odd for being married but voluntarily
childless, these days, childlessness |
IS A COMMON CHOICE
It is a world where one-child families
abound and to have more than two children is to be regarded as eccentric
and probably environmentally irresponsible.
Moreover, the erosion of family life
and the long - hours culture place a heavy burden on those prepared to
rear the next generation.
Despite these social forces, even in
the UK, devote Muslims and Orthodox Jews obey instructions to have large
families.
Confronted with this demographic
revolution and official statistics which showed there were too few young
people to support an ageing population, European governments decided to
embrace
IMMIGRATION
-as an inherent good without any
thought for the consequences.
As a result, politicians and
businessmen assured us that we had to have economic growth in n order to
prop up ever greater public spending and that it could be provided only
by importing large numbers of workers from abroad
BUT WHY WASN'T THERE A NATIONAL
DEBATE
ABOUT
Whether it was wise to mortgage our
cultural future for the sake of a mess of financial pottage?
[A recent report on the cost and
benefit of large scale
IMMIGRATION
estimated that the country benefited by
ONLY - 50p
for each migrant]
Where were the politicians arguing
against the doctrine of
MULTICULTURALISM
-which holds that upholding majority
values is somehow
ILLEGITIMATE
Who among the liberal elite's
commentariat were challenging the moral relativism that flew in the face
of
SENSE and SENSIBILITY
-by insisting that the culture of
Shakespeare
The King James Bible
Keats's poetry
Turner's paintings
and
Elgar's music
-was no more important than - the
cultures of other
IMPORTED MINORITIES?
We know the answer all too well.
Cries of racism drowned out rational
argument - not just here but throughout
OLD EUROPE
As one gloomster put it:
POLITICAL CORRECTNESS
which is thought what
SENTIMENTALITY is to COMPASSION
-means that the intelligentsia of the
WEST
-has disarmed itself in advance of any
possible struggle.
The result of all this, as recent
events have made tragically clear, was that
BRITISH CULTURE
-was
UNDERMINED and SOCIAL COHESION
DAMAGED.
Separated from mainstream society by
geographical and cultural apartheid, which has been fostered by
MULTICULTURALISM
-many immigrants were denied the chance
to
INTEGRATE.
AND, INSTEAD OF BEING TOLD BY THE HOST
COMMUNITY
THAT IF THEY DIDN'T WANT TO ADHERE
-to the values of a liberal, pluralist
democracy, they should
RETURN HOME
They were asked how they would like
BRITAIN
-to conform to
THEIR VALUES.
THE STORY WAS VERY MUCH THE SAME
THROUGHOUT EUROPE
The robust American political
commentator Mark Steyn, a disillusioned Anglophile has already written
us off. The thesis of his Blackly comic book,
*
America Alone:
The End Of The World As We Know It
*
-is that the U.S. will survive because
the
RELIGIOUS RIGHT ARE CONFIDENT
AND
REPRODUCE
BUT
THAT EUROPE IS FINISHED
Its not just demographic decline, he
says, it's also the unsustainability of the
MODERN WELFARE STATE
-in which we depend so much on our
own individual resources.
We are also, he believes, suffering
from 'civilisational exhaustion':
CULTURAL DISINTEGRATION
-brought about by
BIG GOVERNMENT
[Or if you prefer BIG BROTHER]
-which has fatally
DESTROYED OUR SENSE OF
SELF-RELIANCE.
MEANWHILE, we are importing large
numbers of unemployed youths from abroad in order to maintain
OUR
STANDARD OF LIVING
Yet many of these newcomers have
nothing
BUT
CONTEMPT
FOR
OUR
WAY OF LIFE
-and some even wish
TO DESTROY IT
Steyn sees this as a
CIVIL WAR
which
EUROPE
-is too timid even to acknowledge - let
alone
LET ALONE WIN
[This is something the Tory Mr Oliver Letwin
or as we have said on a number of occasions Mr Let-them-win -and they
will, who appears to be out of touch with the real issues that matter to
our country in the early years of the 21st century.]
Mr Steyn says:
'Islam has youth and WILL
Europe has age and WELFARE.'
It's hard not to agree with Mark Steyn,
especially as every day seems to bring more evidence
THAT AS A SOCIETY
WE ARE TERMINALLY
MAD
For example, this week's fertiliser
bomb trial had heard that the key plotters had been radicalised by the
hate preacher Omar Bakri Mohammed whom the judge condemned as
'a master of cowardice -who works in
the shadows.'
This was the same firebrand who as an
asylum -seeker here, had pocketed
£275,000
-in Welfare benefits.
[It is the same mentality shown by
Lord Chief Justice Phillips and Lord
Falconer and many others
-who
instead of spending the £32 million allocated for building prisons a few
years ago are now doing almost anything in order to keep thousands of
criminals many repeat offenders and dangerous, out of prison and giving
many early release so they can go back to torment their victims and as
has happened in a number of occasions returned to have another go at
their robbery or other offence knowing that the worst that might happen
is either a holiday or community service or whatever and as many
prisons these days are very much like 5star hotels there will be no
hardship encountered if they are so lucky to win the prison admission
lottery -then it will be a nice break to see old friends and anyway they
will be out before they have completed their degree in political science
or whatever.
The victims of crime, many of them
elderly - poor and lonely won't as a rule be free of fear of their
tormentor returning for a second or even third try to rob them of the
little they have and as has happened even assault and kill the
defenceless pensioner - but some victims even lose heart and end their
own lives by depriving themselves of food because they have lost hope
that they can be safe again and we have their so-called protectors such
as The Lord Chief Justice Phillips and Lord Falconer the new 'Justice'
Minister ? who says 'Jail's the wrong place for burglars' and
others who are doing whatever they can to keep the criminals out of
jail. If the Army can put up a temporary barracks in double quick
time then there would be spaces for all the thousands of criminals who
should be
OUT OF THE COMMUNITY.
Of course there would be complaints
that the conditions are not up to the standards of the 5star prisons
that they have 'visited' over the years and anyway there is
Tony Blair's
1998 HUMAN RIGHTS ACT
to keep them out of such uncomfortable
surroundings which would not provide the 'key' service which has been
introduced with their friendly solicitor providing a drugs service as an
extra comfort.
THERE IS NO LONGER
JUSTICE AS THE
SENTENCE DOES NOT FIT THE CRIME
ANYMORE]
*
To continue:
Despite all this, I still believe there
are grounds for hope - largely because Muslim hotheads have overplayed
their hand by blowing people up, rioting in their neighbourhoods or
broadcasting hate -filled speeches which alienate them from the host
community.
*
[Well we are of the opinion that until
the Government shows to the Muslim population that they will not give
way on insisting that ALL newcomers and those already with us conform to
OUR RULE OF LAW
-and punish without hesitation any
breaches of the Law and make it plain that anyone who is a threat to our
country WILL BE extradited. BUT of course we have Tony Blair's 1998
Human Rights Act and articles within the 1951 British led Convention of
Human Rights which will need amending.
It should be made quite clear that
those who have no intention to
INTEGRATE
-should be reminded of their commitment
which they gave when they where granted immigration or asylum status
(which should be a legal requirement in the future)
Unless drastic action is taken by the
next Prime Minister as a priority , future generations of the indigenous
population will find themselves foreigners in their own country with
their religion and culture under growing threat. The evidence is
before our eyes it is a warning of what the future will bring if action
is not taken
QUICKLY AND DECISIVELY
Those moderate Muslims will at last
feel secure in the knowledge that they are safe from the extremist
influence which up to now they have had it all their own way. By our
commitment
IT WILL BE SECURITY THROUGH STRENGTH OF
PURPOSE AND THE MUSLIMS WILL BE WITH US
Continue as NOW and they will have
nothing but contempt for our indecision and inadequate moral integrity.]
*
To continue:
The sharp-suited, soft spoken
undercover agents of the
MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD
-the banned Egyptian group whose former
members include Osma Bin Laden -understand that power is best secured by
STEALTH
by infiltrating institutions and
seducing the
MEDIA
Libya's Colonel Gaddafi once
exemplified this policy
He said:
'There are signs that Allah will
grant Islam victory in Europe -without swords, without guns-without
conquests. The 50 million Muslims in Europe will turn it into a Muslim
continent within a few decades.'
[AND THEY SURE MEAN IT]
[Our survival as a Christian nation can
only be achieved by the Government reversing it's abhorrent legislation
as to Religious freedom of speech and action because not to do so further emphasises to the extremist elements in our country that we are WEAK and
AMORAL nation and therefore ready for conversion by stealth as their
numbers obtain the victory while we ignore our Christian past at our
peril.
Our close relations to America must be strengthened
particularly in the moral arena so that our nations will gain the
grudging respect of those who have a desire to replace our Christian
heritage with their own.
There will be many who will say that we
live in a secular environment and that the Government of the day should
not concern itself but we have no choice we either support our
Institutions and that includes our Christian inheritance which is
ingrained into the very fabric of our nation or lose that
priceless heirloom the foundation of our IDENTITY and accept another
more fanatical regime who do not believe in toleration but only in the
observance of their one and only deliverer who will have no other faiths
before it.
WE HAVE TO MAKE A CHOICE
-because a vacuum must be filled and it
is better that we know what contain.
The Choice Is Yours!
-but better it will be to retain our
own heritage than be converted to another.]
*
But the violent extremists have
provoked some signs of a backlash, not just among indigenous populations
of Europe but among those tolerant immigrants who value the countries
THAT TOOK THEM IN
The Swedes, of all people, whom
liberals claimed had produced a perfect society, are trying to row back
on the
WELFARE STATE
-to encourage the
WORK ETHIC
and are demanding
THAT IMMIGRANTS INTEGRATE
Nyamko Sabuni a female, Muslim, African
immigrant who is now the country's
INTEGRATION and EQUALITY
MINISTER
-insists that
ALL IMMIGRANTS
-should learn Swedish and find a job.
She is also intent on criminalising
FORCED MARRIAGES
CHECKING GIRLS FOR EVIDENCE OF FEMALE
CIRCUMCISION
and
BANNING THE VEIL
as well as
STATE FUNDING
for RELIGIOUS SCHOOLS.
[This is an area that needs the
new Premier Gordon Brown to put his attention as to make it plain that
their is one
RULE OF LAW
in
ENGLAND
[NO EXCEPTIONS FOR MUSLIMS OR ANYONE
ELSE IN OUR COUNTRY]
