There's an old Arab saying that warns, "Don't let the camel's nose into your tent. Once the nose is in, the rest of the camel will follow."
Britain has a camel problem. A big camel problem. A form of jihad is starting to engulf the nation. Last years bus and tube bombings and the foiled terrorist plot to blow up airlines were all instigated by young Muslims. The solution? Yep. Talk to the community.
And that’s what Britain did. But the answer the government received was not what they expected. When they asked Muslim community leaders how to tackle extremism in their midst, the Muslim leaders responded with two ‘far ranging’ solutions (my satiric reference). Extremism in the British Muslim community can be mediated with:
Communities Secretary Ruth Kelly had prepared an uncompromising message on the need to tackle dangerous radicalism. But, in what she admitted were 'sharp' exchanges, some senior Muslim figures turned the tables yesterday and made a series of demands which also included the introduction of sharia law for family matters. The group also asked Ms Kelly for separate public holidays for Muslims.
“Dr Syed Aziz Pasha, secretary general of the Union of Muslim Organizations of the UK and Ireland, said: 'We told her if you give us religious rights, we will be in a better position to convince young people that they are being treated equally along with other citizens.' Some of the 30 moderate Muslim leaders at the meeting told Miss Kelly that important days in their two main religious festivals - Ramadan and Eid-ul-Adha - should be made public holidays for followers of the faith. Sharia law, which is practiced in large parts of the Middle East, should also be introduced in Britain, they argued. While it specifies stonings and amputations as routine punishments for crimes, Dr Pasha said he wanted it only for family affairs.”
So….they only wish to stone and amputate family members?
“A recent poll suggested that a third of British Muslims would rather live under Sharia law, while a similar number said they also hope Britain will one day become an Islamic state. But Dr Pasha claimed the legal changes he proposed would help convince young Muslims to integrate better into British society.”
I bet they would! It would be Islam not Britain anymore.
I’ve spoken before about the Islamist strategy for the world domination of Islam. That strategy includes three types of jihad:
Demographic jihad is what’s taking place in Europe. Fjordman explained the tactic of demographic jihad or a lawful, non-violent jihad on the free world.
“British citizenship has been granted to nearly one million foreign nationals since Labour and Tony Blair came to power in 1997.”Grants of citizenship have quadrupled under the present Government. This is a direct result of their 'no limits' immigration policy." "Immigration on this scale is changing the nature of our society without public consent.”
Here’s the strategy of demographic jihad.
“Former Muslim Dr. Patrick Sookhdeo warned that British Muslims could soon form a state within the state. Dr Sookhdeo believed that "in a decade, you will see parts of English cities which are controlled by Muslim clerics and which follow, not the common law, but aspects of Muslim sharia law." "In 1980, the Islamic Council of Europe laid out their strategy for the future - and the fundamental rule was never dilute your presence. That is to say, do not integrate." "Rather, concentrate Muslim presence in a particular area until you are a majority in that area, so that the institutions of the local community come to reflect Islamic structures. The education system will be Islamic, the shops will serve only halal food, there will be no advertisements showing naked or semi-naked women, and so on."
It seems, for now, that Britain is losing the demographic jihad. When will they awake? And when they do, will it be too late and the civil war in Europe that some predict will occur? Who knows? But if Britain bows to the demands of the Islamists in their midst and allow the camel’s nose to enter their tent, the entire camel will be sitting in their laps in short time.
