One of Britain’s top Anglican bishops has infuriated Muslim leaders by claiming that Islamic extremism has turned parts of the nation into “no-go” areas for non-Muslims.
Writing in London’s Sunday Telegraph newspaper, the Pakistani-born bishop of Rochester, Michael Nazir-Ali, also warned of growing efforts to “impose an Islamic character” in some communities, including broadcasting the five-times-a-day call to prayer from mosques.
Islamic leaders have reacted angrily, including Ibrahim Mogra, of the Muslim Council of Britain’s inter-faith relations committee, who denounced the bishop’s remarks as “simple scaremongering.”
England is slipping into ever greater social fragmentation. The inner cities of many towns seem destined to become Muslim ghettoes, replicating little versions of Pakistan at its worst. The prospects for the next 20 years do not look good. Yet the ruling Labor party has made a pact with this incubus.
So lame, this always happens. Instead of actually providing facts or information the Muslims simply accuse him of being an Islamophobe and demand he should step down.
I think this confirms quite nicely my thesis that [url=http://islamdom.blogspot.com/2006/12/islam-and-victimhood.html]Muslims are adddicted to victimhood[/url].
Why have the leaders in the U.K. become so weak and spineless. The Britain I studied as a student was the country who held off the Nazi onslaught for months until the left leaning Americans realized that we were in real trouble. America is slow to move, but I believe we have finally realized that our Anglo-Saxon civilization is in jeopardy. I know that liberals like to think that the West is responsible for all the pains of the world, but remember, although there were mistakes, Britain carried the Gospel around the world, and everywhere their footprints are, one finds a civilized society. The exception of course are the areas where Muslim extremists want to take society back to a time when old men could marry preteen girls, rob and even kill Christians and Jews who refused to give up their faith in the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob.
If the British people don’t get off their “backsides” and start fighting back, “they” will take everything that took the “blood, sweat and tears” of the British people during the last thousand years of struggle and turn your country into a colony of the Muslim extremist.
Just more of the pc stuff. We certainly don’t want to offend those peaceful muslims!
RE:”Islamic leaders have reacted angrily, including Ibrahim Mogra, of the Muslim Council of Britain’s inter-faith relations committee, who denounced the bishop’s remarks as “simple scaremongering.”
Yes…of course…but do they deny the facts on the ground?
“How dare you say my religion is violent! I must kill you now!”
If that seems harsh, all I have to say is “Teddy Bear Mohammed” or “Mohammed Cartoons”

#2, it works well to use the weapons your enemy gives you. Victimhood is a convenient weapon for them to use when they’re the minority in a culture which panders to anyone claiming victim status. When they’re in the majority, however. Well, you know better than we what weapons Islamic governments use.
Quest, first a slight cavil:
[blockquote]The Britain I studied as a student was the country who held off the Nazi onslaught for months until the left leaning Americans realized that we were in real trouble.[/blockquote]
This was actually the Old Right, who correctly saw the European theater as the inevitable consequence of the fratricide started in World War I.
Otherwise you are completely correct. The West is coasting on 1600 years of Christian civilization, and when it’s gone it’s gone. In the post-Christian era, the West simply lacks the means to preserve itself. Its democratic secular states, including the US, will begin their slow unwinding, ironic victims of the diversity they championed.
