”On an Economic Level, the Impact of British Muslims Is Massively Negative”

DAILY EXPRESS: IT WAS the Church of England’s Gerald Ratner moment, wasn’t it?

A comprehensive trashing of the brand by the guy meant to be spreading the word.



Whatever Rowan Williams does from here on in, his call for Britain to accommodate the Islamic legal system of sharia law is what he will always be remembered for.



With the General Synod now in full swing, perhaps the time has come for non-Anglicans to withdraw from intruding on private grief because there is a far bigger and scarier problem to be considered in the wake of Dr Williams’s outburst than the shambles that is the CofE.



It is this: while the Arch­bishop and his fellow travellers spout their nonsense, the leaders of British Islam still don’t appreciate the degree to which their behaviour is despised by the majority of the public.

Unless they give up their obsession with grievance and victimhood and instead under­stand the need to integrate and contribute positively, Britain will slide towards segregation and civil strife.



There are plenty of opinion polls which highlight the views of the estimated two million Muslims in this country. Apparently, 40 per cent wish to live under sharia law. But there never seem to be any polls highlighting what the rest of us think about the Muslims in our midst. I wonder why? The Time Has Come for Muslims to Fully Adopt the British Way of Life >>> By Patrick O’Flynn

My comment on Mr O'Flynn’s article:

First of all, I should like to applaud Mr O'Flynn for cutting to the chase in the excellent article. It is indeed time, nay high time, for Muslims to "fully adopt the British way of life". Unfortunately, however, it is not likely ever to happen. Why? Because the notion of integration runs counter to the Muslim’s faith. The prophet Muhammad told them in clear terms NOT to integrate with the infidel; in fact, he went further than this: He told them to dress differently and at all times to tell themselves apart in their behaviour.

Further, Muslims, according to their faith, are supposed to accept the laws of the land wherever they live, but only when those laws passed by government do not contradict or a conflict with Islamic law. Where there is a contradiction or conflict of interest, Muslims are supposed to be faithful to Islam, and Allah's commands.

Muslims view the United Kingdom and indeed all of the West as the lands of the infidel. The lands of the infidel belong to the 'House of War', or Dar ul Harb. The 'House of War' is in a state of Jahiliyyah, or a pre-Islamic state of chaos. This, in their eyes, is an inferior state of being, one which is ripe for takeover at the earliest convenience.

It is therefore hard to see how the majority of Muslims will ever be prepared to integrate into British society as full citizens of our country. The so-called 'moderate Muslims' might, for a time, but what is a 'moderate Muslim' anyway? A moderate Muslim is actually only a Muslim in name, a nominal Muslim. A nominal Muslim can, at any time in the future, re-find his roots and faith and become devout. Indeed, so many of them eventually do, especially as they get older and settle down. Then they can be a 'better' rôle model for their children. At that point, the women start veiling up, and the men start growing their beards ever-longer. This is the reality of the problem we face with Muslims.

To my knowledge, there is no precedent for this integration in world history; on the contrary, each and every country Muslims have ever been allowed to enter and put down roots, they have eventually taken over: Egypt, Libya, Syria, the Lebanon (in the process of being Islamized as I write this), etc. The only exception was Moorish Spain, and that country was Islamized for centuries. It took the Spaniards more than five hundred years to regain their former land, but the re-conquest, or Reconquista, was ugly and bloody.

So, it seems to me that we are hoping against hope in waiting for the full integration of Muslims in our midst. Indeed, history tells us that the opposite is more likely to be the case: The indigenous population of Great Britain is more likely, eventually, to be coerced into accepting Islam. Either that, or become Dhimmis. This, if we are not careful, will be achieved through cultural creep.

This is the sad reality which the Archdhimmi of Canterbury refuses to come to terms with, despite all his so-called erudition and intellectuality. - ©Mark Alexander
