| SO WILL BRITAIN ONE DAY BE MUSLIM? by Ruth Dudley Edwards 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]
