"We're really blessed in this country to have the Judeo-Christian tradition of wanting to love each other and help each other have better lives and to enjoy life and be good to each other. As opposed to the tradition of some Islamofascist localities where they do the reverse - sending their own children off to be blown up."

    Muslims in the U.K.: Being Offended as a Political Strategy

    In the Western tradition we are raised to be considerate of others. Muslims in England are raised to be offended by everything that is non-Muslim. This makes Islam in England a perfect cancer directed against the British culture. They're offended by everything non-Muslim, and Westerners in England follow the Western tradition of caring about how others feel, and abandon Western ways to those claiming to be offended by them.  Mark Steyn describes the situation:

    ...the United Kingdom's descent into dhimmitude is beyond parody. Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council (Tory-controlled) has now announced that, following a complaint by a Muslim employee, all work pictures and knick-knacks of novelty pigs and "pig-related items" will be banned. Among the verboten items is one employee's box of tissues, because it features a representation of Winnie the Pooh and Piglet. And, as we know, Muslims regard pigs as "unclean", even an anthropomorphised cartoon pig wearing a scarf and a bright, colourful singlet.

    This is how jihad works. Muslims immigrate in large numbers to a country, and then demand that all others submit to Islam.

    So far the British are dumb enough to be letting it work.

    Cllr Mahbubur Rahman is in favour of the blanket pig crackdown. "It is a good thing, it is a tolerance and acceptance of their beliefs and understanding," he said.

    Notice how Rahman demands that non-Muslims tolerate and accept Islamic demands for them to submit to Islam -- but does not want Muslims to have any "tolerance and acceptance" of Western culture.

    Steyn provides additional examples of the inroads made by jihad in England:

    When the Queen knights a Muslim "community leader" whose line on the Rushdie fatwa was that "death is perhaps too easy", and when the Prime Minister has a Muslim "adviser" who is a Holocaust-denier and thinks the Iraq war was cooked up by a conspiracy of Freemasons and Jews, and when the Prime Minister's wife leads the legal battle for a Talibanesque dress code in British schools, you don't need a pig to know which side's bringing home the bacon.

    A couple of years ago, when an anxious-to-please head teacher in Batley was banning offensive "pig-centred books", Inayat Bunglawala of the Muslim Council of Britain commented that "there is absolutely no scriptural authority for this view. It is a misunderstanding of the Koranic instruction that Muslims may not eat pork." Mr Bunglawala is a typical "moderate" Muslim - he thinks the British media are "Zionist-controlled", etc - but on the pig thing he's surely right. It seems unlikely that even the exhaustive strictures of the Koran would have a line on Piglet.

    So these little news items that pop up every week now are significant mostly as a gauge of the progressive liberal's urge to self-abase and Western Muslims' ever greater boldness in flexing their political muscle.

    After all, how daffy does a Muslim's willingness to take offence have to be to get rejected out of court? Only the other day, Burger King withdrew its ice-cream cones from its British restaurants because Mr Rashad Akhtar of High Wycombe, after a trip to the Park Royal branch, complained that the creamy swirl on the lid resembled the word "Allah" in Arabic script.

    That's jihad. It's working in England.

    We must prevent that from happening here.

    We must control immigration to this country from Islamic nations.

    I don't know if we even have to restrict arrivals from all Islamic-majority countries. It seems to me that restricting those coming directly or indirectly from Pakistan or Saudi Arabia would be enough. It's the Wahabbis we need to detain or eliminate, not Muslims in general. After all, Iraq and Afghanistan are Muslim countries-- are we going to deny their citizens entry automatically?

    It may get to that point, but I believe the British Muslims who are pushing for non-Muslims to submit to Islam, are not all Wahabbis.

    > After all, Iraq and Afghanistan are Muslim countries-- are we going to deny their citizens entry automatically?

    I really like it that you're considering the correct ways to approach this.

    It seems to me that "control" is not necessarily to deny entry to everybody from a given country. It may be useful to reduce immigration substantially from all Muslim nations, until such time Muslims in general have their reformation in which they forswear making those of other religions submit to theirs.
