UK: Slouching towards Dhimmitude

This ripping "All-Bishop-Nazir-Ali-did-was-state-the-bleedin'-obvious" op-ed piece in the Daily Mail by some guy named Richard Littlejohn hits the Islam-o-nail right on the head about the dreadful things going on in the UK. (Lionheart included.)

Britain's no-go zones? Don't even go there.
Mail reader Barry Gower from the Isle of Dogs, suggested I catch up with an item the programme broadcast about the suitability of women for police firearms duty. The officer in charge explained that there were no barriers to women being deployed in specialist weapons units - bar one.

"Young black males and Muslim males don't react well to being told what to do by a woman," she said. "So we adapt and overcome and use a male officer."

So that's all right, then. What happens if a female member of SO19 confronts an Islamic suicide bomber about to blow himself up on the Tube?

Does she shout: "Armed police! Put your hands on your head and get down on your knees NOW!"?

Or does she say: "I'm so sorry to trouble you sir but would you mind awfully not detonating your device until I have had the opportunity to summon a male officer who will be able to arrest you in a manner appropriate to your cultural sensitivities"?

And given that most gun crime is committed by black youths, does that mean women officers will never be sent to tackle members of the Crayzee Eyzes Killas Posse involved in a drive-by shooting for fear that they might refuse to surrender themselves to no filthy bitch ho, innit?

The money quote:
The pernicious doctrine of multiculturalism has turned us into a society where people are frightened to speak their minds and justice has been flipped on its head.

To express an opinion contrary to the ruthlessly enforced, politically motivated conformity of the Fascist Left is to risk a vicious campaign of character assassination which, if you work in the public sector, will almost certainly cost you your job.

The private sector isn't immune, either.

Only last week, we learned of a banker who was sacked for making a harmless, lame joke about Shi'ites. Bishop Nazir-Ali: All he did was state the obvious but there have been demands for his resignation

We have reached the ludicrous position where a Pakistani clergyman is facing demands for his resignation and is being accused of stirring up racial and religious hatred simply for speaking the truth.

Cal Thomas has a go at it in his post over at Human Events: Segregation: Muslim Style.

Where there are large concentrations of Muslims in England, “no-go” zones are being established and, according to the Rt Rev Michael Nazir-Ali, the Church of England’s Bishop of Rochester, non-Muslims who “trespass” in such neighborhoods risk attack.

Multiculturalism, globalism, and an emphasis on “inter-faith” (which is really inter-faithless because in this view Truth does not exist) are contributing to the decline of the West just as paganism, hedonism and greed undermined past empires. Rather than learn from their mistakes, the West thinks it can engage in such practices without consequence.

So in honor of the occasion:




Turning and turning in the widening gyre


The falcon cannot hear the falconer;


Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;


Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,


The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere


The ceremony of innocence is drowned;


The best lack all conviction, while the worst


Are full of passionate intensity.


Surely some revelation is at hand;


Surely the Second Coming is at hand.


The Second Coming!


Hardly are those words out


When a vast image out of Spritus Mundi


Troubles my sight: somewhere in the sands of the desert.




A shape with lion body and the head of a man,


A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,


Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it


Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.


The darkness drops again; but now I know


That twenty centuries of stony sleep


were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,


And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,


Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
