Taliban Britain, One God, One Faith, One Culture
New Labourite Dan Hodges tells us that ‘The Left has struck Olympic gold. Or the Left has convinced itself that it’s struck Olympic gold, which in Labour circles amounts to pretty much the same thing.
“Have you been watching?” an excited shadow cabinet member asked me moments after Britain’s cyclists grabbed another medal. No, I’ve been hitching a ride on the Mars Rover. “This is good. There’s something for us here,” he enthused.’
The Left, and that includes the ever PC BBC, has got over its shock and horror at the display of pride in Britain and unity shown at the Olympics and are busy making squalid and laughable attempts to claw back the initiative and claim it as a victory for multi-culturalism.
Presumably the latest discovery in the animal world…a spider they have named ‘Trogloraptor’, as it lives in darkened caves and has vicious claws that grasp its prey….was named after these ‘multi-culturalists’ who still live in the darkness and grasp desperately at straws to save themselves and their doomed ideology.
Funny how that prime of example of multi-ethnic fusion, football, is derided as racist by the great and the good. Footballers come from all over the world and they make Britain’s Premier League the best in the world…..is that success a result of multi-culturalism? Apparently not, the Luvvies not really liking the working class’ sport….as the BBC sets out to prove in ‘Is Football Racist?‘: ‘Setting out with the belief that racism has been largely eradicated from the game and that the frenzy surrounding the recent allegations shows the issue is being taken seriously by the authorities, Clarke begins to face a stark realisation on a journey which sees the issue of racism in football come very close to home.’
Next in the series….’Is Islam Racist?’
Here on the Today programme Sarah Montague purrs in agreement and delight with a couple of comedians (no they really are) who push the multi-culti creed.
Essentially we are told Islam made Mo Farah run faster, the games were successful, we won medals, because we are multi-cultural.
Sarfraz Manzoor reveals that: ‘Multi-culturalism lead us to be winners….and that having an immigrant named Mohammed roared on by the crowd was fantastic.’
So Usain Bolt’s multi-cultural Jamaica made him so fast? The Kenyan long distance runners…again so successful because of their multi-cultural society? The Ethiopians? The Chinese? The Americans? The Russians? Of course….
‘Facts are meaningless. You could use facts to prove anything that’s even remotely true!’
I suspect the crowd were roaring on a sportsman who was succeeding after a huge amount of effort and hard work…they weren’t applauding him for being Muslim…they don’t care what religion he was…and never have….which is the point…he was putting religion and personal ideologies aside and entering the mainstream.
It has nothing to do with ‘multi-culturalism’….what these people panhandling for Multi-culturalism are really commenting on is the mutli-racial makeup of the GB team…..the success coming from hard work not religion or music you listen to or cultural food you eat.
Manzoor’s approach says Britain is racist….and that only these games have brought us together….that’s more a idea akin to ones dreamt up by the race ‘hustlers’ who depend for their own authority and life style in ‘their community’ on whipping up race division and hatred where non exists.
Manzoor goes on to tell us that ‘Young Muslim men in Birmingham go on jihad because they want to belong to the ‘Umma’, a Muslim world wide community…Muslims don’t believe in nationality.’
Manzour suddenly backtracks…and changes that to ‘extremist’ Muslims don’t believe in nationality…..unfortunately that’s not true…Islam is the only creed to which a Muslim must show loyalty and submission to.
Manzoor claims that no imam would recruit people to ‘extremist’ views….again and again this is proved wrong….C4’s Dispatches opened up that can of worms to absolutely no reaction from the BBC who spent the same week abusing Jade Goody for her ‘racist’ argument with a housemate in ‘Big Brother’.
Manzoor was a not a devout Muslim…however he became more devout after 9/11…which was a ‘Call to Arms’ by Osama Bin Laden…which I guess worked to different extents on Muslims.
‘The terror attacks forced me to understand what it means to be a Muslim and it pushed my Muslim identity to the foreground.‘
The BBC is under no illusions that they can use the Olympic success of Farah to make us understand Islam is OK:
‘ Mo’s display of his faith portrays to the rest of Britain that Somalis can remain true to their beliefs while fully integrating with the wider society, which will hopefully counter-balance the common association of Muslims with fundamentalism. He has remained true to his religious beliefs, giving a Muslim prayer after each win and thanking Allah for his victory.‘
But what of Somalians who refute Islam?:
‘Ayaan Hirsi Ali enters an apartment in New York followed by a bodyguard. The 40-year-old, who for the last six years has been unable to turn up at a venue without it being checked by security, is a writer, polemicist and critic of Islam. She is also a Somali immigrant, an ex-Muslim.’
And of course it’s not just other Muslims Hirsi Ali has to be protected from because the Liberal/Left elite alll set about her for her ‘provocative’ views….surely she is the poster girl for Liberals who believe in integration and communal harmony? No?
You don’t hear much about her or her views on the BBC.
Elsewhere of course the usual suspects mounted the counter offensive…Freedland, the supporter of multi-culturalism everywhere except in the Middle East where Jews are a problem, in the Guardian, and Alibhai Brown in the Independent. Brown’s piece is probably one of the more nasty articles you will see…all the more odd because she herself has vigorously spoken out against muti-culturalism and its very real and nasty effects (see later):
Freedland:
‘The effect, of both these organisational and sporting triumphs, was a national good mood so unaccustomed in many it prompted suspicion and unease. Some wondered if all this patriotism was healthy for our collective soul.‘
Alibhai Brown being somewhat less than tolerant and multi-cultural herself:
‘The Burleyites took a thorough beating at these Games, watching as not just Guardian-types but the nation exalted in the success of a team as diverse as any British city.
Jesus! More multicultural crap! More bleedin’ foreigners winning our medals!
(Nowhere did Burley say that….Alibhai Brown just invented a bit of racism)
Tory MP Aidan Burley, an immigrant from New Zealand, dissed Danny Boyle’s inclusive opening ceremony in a tweet.
Mixed feelings must have curdled the patriotic juices when Mo Farah, born in Somalia, won the 10,000 metres, hugged his daughter and pregnant light-skinned wife. And when he pronounced himself the proudest of flag wavers. Or when Jessica Ennis, the daughter of a black father and a white mother, wept as she received her gold while 80,000 fans cheered and belted out the National Anthem.
I wonder how the formidable anti-immigration prophets and campaigners react when medals are won by super-fit migrants and children of migrants?’
The Indepenent itself had this headline…
‘Mo Farah hails Britain’s multicultural society for helping him win double Olympic gold’
“It is amazing. As a kid growing up in London, coming from Somalia, sport was a big thing for me. My story shows no matter what or where you come from, if you work hard at something [in Britain] you can achieve it. And it was amazing the support I got from the crowd.”
Unfortunaltely the truth was that Farah’s success owed more to the flag waving, one nation melting pot that is the USA than to ‘multi-culti’ Britain…as the Independent has to admit a little way down…..
‘The soon-to-be father of twins revealed how important his move to America last year had been in ensuring his development after he fell into a period after the 2008 Beijing Olympics of finishing sixth or seventh in races.
He said: “If I didn’t make that change I don’t think I would have been here today and competing with those guys.’
And let’s look at that multi-cultural legacy…what does mutli-culturalism really mean on the streets……..and note, these are British streets, not Islamabad or Mecca or Kandahar.
‘When I married V.S. Naipaul and moved to England in 1996, I thought I had left the horror behind.
Pakistan had drained my resolve, and I was tired of fighting a losing battle. To me, England, for all its ills, was the promised land.
Instead, I have found the horror I fled has followed me here. It is all around, eroding the very core of everything Britain believes in.
Why, then, have successive Governments refused to acknowledge the incestuous cultures that have evolved in these ghettos? Why does no one challenge the existence of the so-called ‘Islamic Parliaments’, with their retrogressive laws, that exist in cities such as Bradford and Leicester?
In these cities, teams of vigilantes terrorise Pakistani communities. They turn up unannounced to homes, insisting that Ramadan is respected and checking that everyone has come to prayers. They force shops to close, they check that the community is fasting, that women wear the veil.
The defenders of our precious multiculturalism must get real. My message to those who promote these entrenched ghetto ideas is this: go home if you want to practise your form of Islam. There is no place for it here.’
Alibhai-Brown seems conflicted and confused…her PC credentials and innermost instincts want her to be all ‘multi-cultural’, loving and praising and defending cultural separateness…unfortunately reality keeps on bringing her back down to earth….
Here is Alibhai-Brown in her ‘all whites are imperialist colonisers’ mode:
‘ In France they refuse to rethink their old assimilationist model. As their populations get ethnically more complex, the state either asks for compliance or enforces post-enlightenment values combined with colonial hubris. Liberty, fraternity and a secular state are the foundations of a good democracy, but even incomers willing, indeed happy, to commit to the Republic’s tenets balk at the underpinning supremacist paradigm.’
So She thinks assimilation and integration are a problem not a boon?
And yet here she is giving it both barrels to ghettoisation and yes, multi-culturalism:
Yasmin Alibhai-Brown: Who’d be female under Islamic law?
In Muslim states, violence against women is validated. A dark age is upon us.
‘I look out of my study (in the UK) at the common and see a wife fully burkaed on a sunny day. She sits still. Her children and husband run around, laughing, playing cricket. She sits still, dead, buried, a ghost. She is complicit in her own degradation, as are countless others. Their acquiescence in a free democracy is a crime against their sisters who have no such choices in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Afghanistan and elsewhere.‘
And again:
The Talibanisation of British childhood by hardline parents
‘I have met Muslim lawyers and academics who have turned to Taliban-style beliefs.
These men propagate Wahhabism – the joyless and backward Saudi belief system followed by Al Qaeda and espoused by hate preachers such as omar Bakri and his successor Anjem Choudary.
In 2003, Bakri told a journalist that their brand of Islam would get to increasing numbers of young minds and hearts.
It has – and to their parents, too.
The rapid spread of rigid, diehard Islam is deeply worrying. Yet those in power, focused on terrorist cells, seem oblivious to this other peril.
I could never have imagined, nine years on, that the Taliban would be claiming to have ‘won the war’ in Afghanistan.
Or, much worse, that our politicians and Muslim ‘leaders’ here would allow their twisted ideology to spread across Britain.
Make no mistake, Taliban devotees are in our schools, playgrounds, homes, mosques, political parties, public service, private firms and universities.
And if we are to have any hope of combating them, we need to stop this attitude of appeasement and understand why so many Muslims are attracted to the most punishing forms of belief, suppressing women and children.
Eye-watering amounts of Saudi money goes into promoting Wahhabism.
They fund mosques, religious-schools, imams, conferences and trips to Saudi Arabia.
They are our wealthy allies and so are never questioned or stopped.
Meanwhile, the liberal position is to let people be and do what they wish within the law. Liberals tolerate the intolerable because they don’t have to live with the consequences. Yet the problem is in part caused by liberal values.
The full burka has been banned in France (where the hijab – a headscarf – is also not allowed in schools) and other European nations will follow.
In Britain, where personal liberty is sacrosanct, such state actions would appear authoritarian.
To me, that hands-off approach makes no sense.
Why are we fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan and indulging Taliban values here?
Even if it offends liberal principles, the powerful must find a way of stopping Islamicists from promulgating their distorted creed.
If they don’t, the future is bleak for Muslims and the country. Many of us British Muslims care deeply about both.’

This is a guest post by Leyton Oriental
We have all read about how moderate/liberal minded Muslims have been the target of assassinations in Pakistan and how some of them have been forced to flee conservative Islamic societies in order to stay alive. But here in the UK, the Muslim community is far more religiously conservative than many Muslim majority societies.
It is shocking but not surprising to learn that one of Britain’s leading moderate Muslim Imams is being hounded out of his job for expressing views which are unpalatable to the conservative Muslims.
There has been a concerted campaign by many Muslims to remove Usama Hasan from his post as Imam of Masjid al-Tawhid in Leyton, East London. The “charges” against him are:
Seeking to reconcile Islam with the theory of evolution
Claiming that the Hijab is not mandatory
Acceptance of secularism in the practice of good governance
It’s important to note that the elements of religious intolerance which are seeking to remove him are not extremist Muslims but mainstream conservative Muslims. It just goes to show how intolerant and thuggish traditional Muslims have become and how liberal Muslims are the real victims, even here in the UK. This campaign to denounce Hasan have included calling him an unbeliever and an apostate. Needless to say that these accusations come with the calls for his execution which some have been “brave” enough to make.
