Can Britain Survive Politically Correct Multi- Culturism? Can We?
In the modern British politically correct state, multiculturalism runs amok and hate and injustice flourish. Britain's top judge says the nation should allow Islamic Sharia top law. The head of the Church of England said the same thing. Police dogs might have to wear booties when they search Muslim homes to avoid offending Muslim homes who believe dogs are unclean. And Britain's home secretary has decided that Islamic Terrorism should be renamed: "Anti-Islamic Activity."
There is a real fear of Islam in Britain that is far different than here in America. And the headlines in the UK make it look like capitulation to Islam is inevitable. It is somewhat astonishing that in a population of 60 Million people a couple million Muslims cold make cause so much concern. Critics of the government say that is because Britain's politically correct leadership has been so slow in tackling this problem head on.
So-called "hate speech" is illegal in Britain, but that depends on who is doing the hating. When the British citizens protested the Mohammad cartoons at the Danish Embassy London in 2006, they expressed their allegiance to terrorists. They called for beheadings and nuclear attacks. British police arrested no one until there was public uproar. Compare that to when a British news program exposed violent rhetoric in local mosques. British police originally decided to arrest not the radical Imams who spewed the hatred and bigotry, but the news program that did the report for allegedly stirring up racial hatred.
Whole sections of Britain are now considered dangerous" no go" zones for non-Muslims.
A surge in "honor violence" – not getting involved in "family disputes" when women leave arranged marriages, beg for help from British police, are ignored and end up killed by their own families and buried in back yards - is only one result of bowing to ethnic diversity and bowing to Islam.
Gena Khan, Islamic Women's Advocate, is only one victim of this policy. She is in hiding. She says Britain now has more violence against women, more polygamy, domestic violence where Islam has taken over. The irony is that most Muslims fled to Britain to escape Shari Law!
Former drug dealer, now born again Christian Paul Ray was arrested on a hate crime for speaking out against Islam. Paul Ray had to flee to save his life.
Sally McNamara, is at the Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom at the Heritage Foundation. She says when you have a government who is so hampered by political correctness that they are unwilling to assert national values of tolerance, of rule of law, and of human rights, then you are creating mixed messages where you're saying the extremists can flourish. She says Britain now has a hornet's nest of Islamic extremism that they're trying to combat on a counter terrorism basis.
Stephen Gash, has a chapter of SIOE (Stop Islamization of Europe) in Britain. He says the majority of the British are being discriminated against while the minority (Isalmics) are being favored.
The question all ask is "Can Britain survive the politically correct multiculturism?" And for us in America, the next question is, "Can the United States survive what starts with political correctness and the "honor killings" by Muslim fathers that are already happening?"
