NYTIMES:
CLITHEROE, England — On a chilly night this winter, this pristine town in some of Britain’s most untouched countryside voted to allow a former Christian church to become a mosque. Britain may continue to regard itself as a Christian nation. But practicing Muslims are likely to outnumber church-attending Christians in several decades, according to a recent survey by Christian Research, a group that specializes in documenting the status of Christianity in Britain. ... With a population of 14,500, a Norman castle and an Anglican church established in 1122, Clitheroe is tucked away in Lancashire County in the north. People here liked to think they represented a last barrier to the mosques that had become features in surrounding industrial towns. ...WHILE THE UK'S LEFT-WING PM COWERS AT THE FEET OF THE MULLAH'S IF IRAN, THE TOWNS AND CITIES WITHIN HER OWN SHORES ARE RAPIDLY BECOMING ISLAMIFIED. 70 YEARS. AND THEN SHARIA.
But the fight is hardly over. Beneath the official vote lies a river of resentment among those who fear that the broader patterns in Britain will emerge here. In one sign of the tensions, some of the church’s windows have been smashed. ...
Today, Britain has fewer than 500,000 practicing Methodists, and of its Christians, only about 6 percent are regulars at church, according to Peter Brierley, executive director of Christian Research. Though numbers for comparison are not known precisely, most agree that Britain’s Muslims are far more regular mosque attendants. The symbolic encroachment of Islam at the pinnacles of British power is already clear. At Oxford University, town residents recently but unsuccessfully fought the building of a Center for Islamic Studies, and in the House of Lords the number of Muslim members has gone from none to seven during the decade of the Labor government.
UNLESS EUROPE TAKES HARSH ACTION NOW, EURABIA IS INEVITABLE, AND WITH IT THE END OF A CIVILIZATION.
THIS IS A REAL THREAT - UNLIKE "MAN-MADE GLOBAL WARMING".
AND UNLIKE GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE, WE CAN ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS THREAT. BUT THE TIME IS NOW. OR NEVER.
(RIGHT NOW I FEEL THAT THE UK AND THE EU HAVE NEITHER THE WILLPOWER, THE LEADERSHIP OR THE AWARENESS TO HALT ISLAMIFICATION. IN OTHER WORDS, THEY ARE COWARDLY & APPEASING, AND IN DENIAL. AND MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT: UNLESS THEY FIGHT BACK, THE INSIDIOUS ABSORPTION OF THE EU INTO THE "MUSLIM-BORG" WILL HAPPEN.)
PS: I USED THE TERM "RAPIDLY" IN THE TITLE OF THIS POST, ADVISEDLY. THIS WILL HAPPEN WITHIN THE NEXT FEW-TO-SEVERAL DECADES. COMPARED TO THE LIFE-SPAN OF THE UK'S CULTURE, THIS IS VERY FAST. IF THEY RESIST BETTER THAN THEY HAVE TO DATE, THEN MAYBE IT WILL BE SLOWED - BUT I DOUBT THAT IT WILL BE STOPPED. I PRAY IT WILL. BUT I FEAR IT WILL NOT.

Brilliant analysis. Pray tell what should the good Christian Brits do with the Muslims amongst them? Forced expulsion? Internment? Please tell your enraptured readers your final solution ...
ReplyDeleteYou refer to Islamic culture as if it were all identical. This is no more true than it would be of European Christian culture.
ReplyDeleteBut let's say for the sake of argument this was true - so what?
If Islamic culture actually makes and keeps people happier, more free and more productive than current European culture, European culture will be 'erased'.
Otherwise, no problem.
And realistically what will happen is assimilation and advancement of cultures.
METASAILOR:
ReplyDeleteYOU WROTE - "IT'D BE OKAY IF ISLAMIC CULTURE KEEPS PEOPLE MORE FREE & PRODUCTIVE"!?!?!?!?
WHAT UNIVERSE DO YOU LIVE IN!?!?!?
IS THERE A SINGLE MUSLIM COUNTRY WHERE THIS IS TRUE!?!?!? WHERE IS HAS EVER BEEN TRUE?!?!?!?
YOUR DENIAL SI EMBLEMATIC OF THE LEFT. OF MULTI-CULTURALISM. AND A ROOT PROBLEM.
MARTIS: IF THE BRITS DON;LT WANT TO BECOME LIKE EGYPT AND PAKISTAN THEN THEY'D BETTER START GOING TO CHURCH AND HAVING BABIES.
AND DEMANDING ASSIMILATION OF IMMIGRANTS.
YOUR ACCUSATORY SUGGESTIONS REVEAL YOUR PARANOIA OF THE RIGHT.
YOU SHOULD BE MORE REALISTIC ABOUT THE VERY REAL THREAT OF ISLAMIFICATION.
MANY MUSLIMS ARE VBER6Y OPEN ABOUT THEIR PLANS TO TAKE OVER EUROPE DEMOGRAPHICALLY.
AND IT APPEARS TO BE WORKING.
REMEMBER: ISTANBUL WAS ONCE THE CENTER OF THE WEST.
IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN - FURTHER WEST. IN FAT: IT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.
AND YOU AND YOUR ILK ARE IN DENIAL.

ReplyDeletethe ottoman empire did what for humanity? bupkus. they expanded NO ONE'S rights or liberties, invented NOTHING useful. Attaturk did more for turks in twenty years than the ottoman emperors did for those under their hegemony in 500. (ask the saudis - who HATE the turks for how they were treated!)
and you're DEFENDING them - a MUSLIM EMPIRE!?!? you probably deride the USA/Bush as an empire in the next breath!
you're hypocrisy would be astounding except for the fact that it has become so common on the left.
europe under sharia will be a hell-hole of misogyny, poverty, and ignorance.
like every other place in the world under sharia.
the only livable muslim nations are the (classically-)liberalized nations - and they are under threat (of islamo-fascism), too.
if you believe as FDR and Eleanor and JFK did that ALL human being EVERYWHERE deserve their innate UNIVERSAL human rights, than you MUST oppose the expansion of islamofication.
if ylu don;t care about universal human rights, and don;t care if europe fals under the Caliphate, then by all measn: turn a blind eye and argue that the ottoman empire was benign.
asshole.
Can't argue with the analysis, however, without Islam, modern Europe would not be modern Europe: arabic numbers made double-entry bookkeeping possible, hence capitalism. Chemistry, algebra ("al-gebra"), optics, distilliation alembics (hence whiskey). Greek and Roman classics in arabic translation reintroduced (the Christians burned them, remember). And let's not forget coffee and hashish.
ReplyDeleteHistorically, Islam is tolerant of other monotheistic relegions, it wasn't the Muslims who closed down a 6th century synagogue in Toledo, Spain, it was the Catholic Reconquista.
I'm sure the Druid priests bemoaned the christianization of England, too. Civilizations come and go, no big deal.
You can't fight demographics, other than by global themonuclear war or outright genocide.
