Some people will think this is mere
hyperbole. However, That's the problem. Britain
still doesn't grasp that it is facing a pincer
attack from both terrorism and cultural infiltration
and usurpation. . .
They fail to realise that the

society than
TERRORISM
they are simply blind to the
ruthless way in which the Islamists are exploiting
our chronic muddle of well-meaning toleration and
political correctness (backed by the threat of more
violence) to put ISLAM
on a SPECIAL-INDEED

BRITAIN.
But Islamism will be repulsed only if
Britain once again regains the confidence of its own

THREE years after the LONDON TUBE and
BUS BOMBING, it is alarming beyond measure to record
that Britain is even now sleepwalking into
ISLAMISATION
Some people will think this is mere
hyperbole. However, That's the problem. Britain
still doesn't grasp that it is facing a pincer
attack from both terrorism and cultural infiltration
and usurpation. . .
The former is understood, the latter
is generally not acknowledged or is even denied, and
those who call attention to it are pilloried as
either
'ISLAMOPHOBES'
or ALARMISTS who have taken up
residence on Planet Paranoia.
Certainly, the police and security
services have been foiling plot after plot and are
bringing to court a steady stream of Islamist
radicals- an improvement without doubt from two
years ago. And so, particularly within the British
elite, people think that things are broadly under
control.
They fail to realise that the
attempt to take over our
CULTURE
is even more deadly to this
society than
TERRORISM
they are simply blind to the
ruthless way in which the Islamists are exploiting
our chronic muddle of well-meaning toleration and
political correctness (backed by the threat of more
violence) to put ISLAM
on a SPECIAL-INDEED
,UNIQUE -FOOTING WITHIN
BRITAIN.
As a result, the steady
ISLAMISATION of
BRITISH PUBLIC LIFE
is either being IGNORED or tacitly
encouraged by a political security and judicial
establishment that is failing to IDENTIFY the
STEALTHY and MIND-BENDING GAME that is being PLAYED.
The official counter -radicalisation
programme illustrates the problem.
The Government wants to tackle
radicalisation within Britain's Muslim Community
by winning hearts and minds within
that community.Its strategy is based on isolating
the extremists and encouraging the moderates.
The problem, however, is that it
doesn't understand what Muslim extremism is.
believing that Islamic terrorism is motivated by an
ideology which has 'hijacked' and distorted Islam,
IT WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE
EXTREMISM WITHIN MAINSTREAM ISLAM ITSELF.
The reason so many older British
Muslims are traditionally moderate is that they were
brought up in the Asian subcontinent under a tamed
form of Islam, deriving from centuries of colonial
rule, which glossed over much of the teaching of
religion.
The Government believes that Islamic
radicalism can be countered by teaching authentic
Islam to Muslims.
But since Islamic radicalism is based
upon these very authentic religious precepts, this
will undoubtedly have the effect of radicalising
people who otherwise would never have thought in
this way.
The Mosques and Imams National
Advisory Board (MINAB) was set up to put in
effect the government's aim of ensuring
MODERATION in MOSQUES.
This was always unlikely given that
members of Islamist groupings were on the steering
committee. Although MINAB's chairman, Manazir Ahsan,
he is the director of the
ISLAMIC FOUNDATION
which follows the writings of Maulana
Maududi -who preached an end to sovereignty and
supremacy of unbelievers who should be made to live
in a state of subordination to ISLAM.Similarly, Dr
Ataullah Siddiqui, the Government's chief adviser on
Islamic Studies is a senior member of the
ISLAMIC FOUNDATION.
A report he wrote for the Government
last year, Islam at Universities in England, which
was publicly welcomed by the prime Minister, urged
that among other special privileges for Muslims that
should be allowed to teach Islamic subjects in
British Universities and that
NON-MUSLIMS SHOULD BE BANNED FROM
DOING SO.
In any event, the universities are
steadily being
ISLAMISED
with academic objectivity in the
teaching of ISLAM and the MIDDLE EAST studies being
set aside in FAVOUR of
INDOCTRINATION and PROPAGANDA.
A REPORT by Professor Anthony Glees
due to be published in the Autumn will argue that
extremist ideas are being spread by
ISLAMIC STUDY CENTRES
linked to
BRITISH UNIVERSITIES
and backed by multi-million-pound
donations from
SAUDI ARABIA and MUSLIM
ORGANISATIONS.
He says:
'BRITAIN'S UNIVERSITIES will
have to generate TWO NATIONAL CULTURES: One
NON-MUSLIM and largely SECULAR,-the other MUSLIM. We
will have TWO IDENTITIES and TWO SETS of
ALLEGIANCE and TWO LEGAL and POLITICAL SYSTEMS. This
must, by the GOVERNMENT'S OWN LOGIC hugely increase
the RISK of TERRORISM.
Even more terrifying, is the
increasing
ISLAMISATION of the POLICE.
It has been reported that up to eight
police officers and civilian staff working in the
METROPOLITAN POLICE
and other forces are suspected of
links to
EXTREMIST GROUPS
including
AL QAEDA,
with some even believed
to have attended
TERROR TRAINING CAMPS
IN
PAKISTAN and AFGHANISTAN.
One suspected jihadist police officer
working in the South East has been allowed to keep
his job despite being caught circulating internet
images of beheadings and roadside bombs in Iraq.
No less disturbing is the fact that
the
POLICE
are intentionally bringing
ISLAMISTS
into the FORCE in the utterly
MISGUIDED belief (shared by many if the SECURITY
SERVICE) that they can help counter Islamist
radicalism.
Commander Lambert believed that this
will enable the police to understand the way
extremists thought before they committed any
ACTS OF TERROR.
But it surely goes without saying
that a police officer who is committed
TO OVERTHROW THE WEST
and its replacement by an
ISLAMIC SOCIETY
poses a security risk of the
FIRST ORDER.
For a POLICE COUNTER-TERRORISM
specialist to be promoting this situation beggars
belief.
[The man is either a dangerous fool
or is an under cover tool for the Islamic Cause. Do
we have to wait to see which if any he is rather
than get him replaced so that there are NO DOUBTS
about his MOTIVES as future lives will be at risk
following such a politically correct agenda.]
Deeply alarmed sources have
furthermore told me that, in the overriding concern
by POLICE FORCES to hire more ETHNIC MINORITY
OFFICERS, they have junked VETTING CRITERIA
-particularly when it comes to hiring
POLICE COMMUNITY SUPPORT OFFICERS
who after two years can become fully
fledged police officers
WITH NO FURTHER VETTING REQUIRED.
The result say the sources, is that
the
SECURITY OF POLICE
OPERATIONS IS POTENTIALLY COMPROMISED.
Moreover, there have been disturbing
examples of the police protecting
ISLAMIC EXTREMISM.
In 2007, the CHANNEL 4
DISPATCHES
programme uncovered evidence of incitement to murder
homosexuals, the killing of British soldiers and
hatred of 'UNBELIEVERS' going on below the official
radar in ostensibly respectable
BRITISH MOSQUES.

UNDERCOVER
MOSQUE
But instead of prosecuting such
fanatics, the
West Midlands Police
first tried to prosecute the
programme makers and then accused them of selective
editing and distortion and undermining community
cohesion. - a libel for which the
POLICE
and the
CROWN PROSECUTION SERVICE
were subsequently forced to
apologise.
A REPORT by the Centre for
Social Cohesion on
HONOUR KILLINGS
and similar violence revealed that
several women's groups, particularly in the Midlands
and Northern England, say they are reluctant to go
to the
POLICE
with women who have run away from
home to escape violence because they cannot trust
ASIAN POLICE OFFICERS
not to betray the girls to their
abusing families.
In February, Christian evangelists
Arthur Cunningham and Joseph Abraham were handing
out Bible extracts in Alum Rock, Birmingham. They
were stopped by a Muslim police Community Support
Officer on preaching in a 'Muslim area', and warned
that they might get beaten up if they came back.
What on earth is happening when in
the heart of
ENGLAND
a British support officer , employed
by the British State to enforce the
LAW of ENGLAND
aggressively prevents
CHRISTIANS
from preaching the established
FAITH of ENGLAND
on the grounds that this is now a
'hate crime'
When the Bishop of Rochester, Dr
Michael Nazir-Ali warned that Britain was developing
MUSLIM NO-GO AREAS
he was denounced as
Islamophobic.
The establishment queued up to say
they didn't recognise the Britain he was describing.
But British public life is progressively being
ISLAMISED
with Muslim radicals in areas with
large concentrations of Muslims increasingly
intimidating
NON-MUSLIMS.
After a vicar in East London Canon
Michael Ainsworth , was beaten up by three Muslims
in his own churchyard in March
it was revealed that there had been
many attacks on churches in the area by such youths,
who on one occasion shouted:
'This should not be a
church-this should be a mosque.
Yet last month, one of the youths in
the Ainsworth attack walked free after a judge
accepted his claim that the attack was not
religiously motivated.
Sharia law is steadily encroaching
into British institutions. last week Lord Phillips,
the most senior judge in England and Wales, said it
could play a role in some parts of the legal system.
This followed comments by the
Archbishop of Canterbury who declared that Muslim
families should be able to choose between English
and Islamic law in marital and family issues.
But the fact is that Britain is
already developing a parallel sharia jurisdiction in
such matters, with a blind eye being turned to such
practices as:
FORCED MARRIAGES
COUSIN MARRIAGES
FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION
and POLYGAMY:
Indeed welfare benefits are now given
to the multiple wives of Muslim men.
Meanwhile, the courts still appear to
be bending over backwards to appease Muslim
radicalism. last month a judge freed from prison Abu
Qatada, the most important Al Qaeda operative in
Europe and the lynchpin of numerous European terror
attacks, who is being held pending deportation to
Jordon to stand trial.
His release on bail - a kind of house
arrest -followed a Appeal Court ruling that he could
not be deported to Jordon because any
prosecution there might have been obtained as a
result of a witness being tortured -a breach of the
European Convention of Human Rights.
Why do the British authorities appear
to go out of their way to thwart efforts to fight
and defeat jihadi terror?
While Islamists are being appeased,
the Christian Church is being discriminated against.
The Bishop of Rochester said that the decline of
Christian Values was destroying the
Britishness and had created a 'moral vacuum' which
radical Islam was filling.
In reply to this cri de coeur
from a civilisation under siege, Hazel Blears, the
Communities Secretary maintained it was right that
more money and effort was spent on Islam than
Christianity because of the threat from extremism
and home grown terrorism.
But Islamism will be repulsed only if
Britain once again regains the confidence of its own
CULTURE-HERITAGE and TRADITIONS.
AND THESE ARE BASED ON
CHRISTIANITY...
Ms Blears's lamentable comment
graphically illustrates the problem. While the
ordinary people of Britain are increasingly aghast
at the way their country is being transformed to
ISLAMISATION
the political, judicial, security and
intellectual elites are busy denying the nature of
the danger and making it far, far worse through a
combination of
EXTREME ARROGANCE
and
SHEER FUNK.
The
Islamists launched their JIHAD against the WEST
because they perceived IT WAS WEAK and CONFUSED it
would not possess the wherewithal TO DEFEND ITSELF.
When it comes to BRITAIN -THEY NEVER
SPOKE A TRUER WORD.
