What is this plight to which Europe has been reduced?
The vast quivering mass of tormented, bewildered human beings
Who wait in their cities and their homes
And scan the dark horizons for the approach of some new form of Tyranny or terror with the sullen silence of despair.
But for the Great Republic across the Atlantic Ocean saving
Europe from ruin and enslavement The Dark Ages would have Returned in their cruelty and squalor.
They may still return.
The salvation of the common people in Europe from war and servitude
Must be established on solid foundations,
And must be created by the readiness of
All men and women to die rather than to submit to tyranny.
Let Europe arise.
Churchill, paraphrased from a speech in 1946
The BBC’s Panorama produced a programme about Islam in Britain that totally destroyed the BBC’s carefully contrived narrative of the ideology that is intended to lull us into a sense of false security and persuade us that there are no issues with Islam, that the problems stem from a very small minority of extremists, criminals, madmen even, who pervert the great religion for their own ends.
Panorama was on last night, and I asked what is the likelihood of the truths revealed in that programme finding their way into the BBC’s everyday coverage.
Already we have the answer….not a chance in hell.
The Today programme (06:39) tried to enlighten us about the dark underbelly of the Pegida protests in Germany.
Ostensibly, note that sly little word ‘ostensibly’, the BBC said, Pegida is about extremist Islam.
That additional ‘ostensibly’ tells you everything you need to know about how the BBC’s report would approach this subject. It was a subtle maligning of the intentions of Pegida…the classic ‘liberal’ smear tactic that suggests the real motive is racism.
Indeed the report went on in precisely that vein….the good folk in the Pegida marches are ignorant, they don’t understand the great joys and benefits that immigrants bring (so already off the subject of Islam)….it’s up to politicians to enlighten them! LOL.
However we are told ‘They are not all neo-Nazis’….implying that most are. Proof of that? How about this instead…… ‘Not all Muslims are fanatical Koran thumpers but…..’ Not something you will hear from the good liberatti but they are happy to label anyone who does anything they don’t like as Nazis…quite extraordinary….are the four million marchers in France ‘neo-nazis’?
‘Amusingly’ the report ended from a place close to where a synagogue was destroyed on ‘Kristallnacht’ and we were told that ‘People (ie ignorant Pegida types) don’t learn from history’….what an irony eh? Trying to take the image of the Kristallnacht just days after a Jewish shop was attacked and the free Press brutally murdered by extremist thugs and use it to suggest that people who are protesting about extremism by the very people who committed those crimes are the same as the Nazis!
We’ve just had a programme laying out the extremist ideology that pervades much of the Muslim world, Panorama remember told us that this ideology is ‘mainstream’ in the UK now, and yet only hours later we’re being told that this is something to celebrate in our midst and we’re being lectured that we don’t learn from history.
I might humbly suggest that the people who don’t learn from history are those who bury their heads in the sand and ignore the very dark future that is rapidly approaching.
Remember this well….Labour MP and former minister Shahid Malik quoted this from Islamic scholars:
“It is necessary by sharia to abide by the laws of the country one lives in, regardless of the nature of the law, as long as the law doesn’t demand something that is against Islam….
“It is necessary upon a Muslim to listen to and obey the ruler, as long as one is not ordered to carry out a sin.”
Of course that means a sin in the eyes of Allah as defined by the Koran and Sharia….in other words Sharia law, not British law, is the final arbiter of how a Muslim should live in the UK according to Malik….If British law demands you do something that is ‘unIslamic’ you should refuse to do it.
The Daily Mirror told us in 2006 that:
As a result of demands such as these…..
Dr Syed Aziz Pasha, secretary-general of the Union of Muslim Organisations of the UK and Ireland, demanded the British institute Sharia Law in England and grant Muslims national Islamic holidays… “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.”
In other words more Islam is the answer to the extremists demand for more Islam….clever huh?
This was the MCB’s tactic when trying to impose an Islamic ethos into secular schools just a year later….something remarkably never mentioned by the BBC when it eventually got around to reporting the current attacks on our schools in the Trojan Horse plot…..the man at the centre of that plot being the same man who authored the MCB ‘guidance’ for schools in 2007. Something that might have been of note perhaps.
As pointed out the BBC has already decided to ignore the ‘warnings from history’ and the warnings from its own revelatory report on the subject of just how mainstream ‘conservative’ Islam is in the UK.
It does everything it can to prevent ‘Europe arising’ to defend its values and beliefs, culture and society. The BBC would rather you be crushed and oppressed by an extreme ideology than for you to ‘offend’ or ‘insult’ those who wish to impose it by reiterating your own beliefs and values.
Standing up for democracy, freedom of thought and expression, freedom to leave your religion, freedom to criticise an ideology…..all are apparently ‘insulting and offensive’ to certain people.
The BBC would rather have the ‘sullen silence of despair’ than for you to be allowed to voice your concerns.
David Goodhart said, on the BBC, and subsequently ignored….
It has become clear that to remain liberal the state may have to prescribe a clearer hierarchy of values.
The gulf between conservative Islam and secular liberal Britain is larger than with any comparable large group….for those of us who value an open, liberal society it is time to explain why it is superior to the alternatives.
Some claim that if people understood Islam more everything would be fine, they would be more tolerant, I think quite the contrary….the more they understand about it the more alien they would find it…authoritarian, collectivist, patriarchal, misogynist…..all sorts of things that Britain might have been 100 years ago but isn’t now.
Tolerating the intolerable is not a sensible attitude however ‘liberal’ you profess to be…sometimes you just have to stand up and say No! A time when compromise must end.
