A New Trend For UK Immigrants?

Deva Kumarasiri is an immigrant from Sri Lanka who moved to the UK 17 years ago. He's also proud to be British. So much so that if other immigrants come into his postal outlet who have not bothered to learn English, he tells them to go away and learn it.

I would LOVE to see this guy in Canada be taken in front of one of our dreadful "human rights" kangaroo courts. He would make mincemeat of them!

Update: Thanks to David I've learned that Mr. Kumarasiri has been forced to a new location because of threats from angry Muslims. Britain truly has lost its soul.

Pat Condell: Shame on the Netherlands

The Strange Marriage of the NDP with Islamic Radicals

This article by Barbara Kay should be a must read for all Canadian voters. One of the key paragraphs is this one:

It soon became apparent that the particular political focus of all three of the speakers is the NDP, which has shamelessly courted and integrated into its inner circles Islamist Muslims with views that are antithetical and even dangerous to the continued health of Canadian values. Fatah has watched in frustration as Islamists in the NDP pursue a relentless campaign to instill a sense of victimhood in Muslim youth.

Preaching victimhood has ALWAYS been my major problem with the NDP and other like-minded socialist parties. The danger here is that they are actually helping to push a visible minority in Canada further to the fringes. Cynics say this is to achieve more power via the voting booth. I tend to think it's just blind ignorance on the part of those in the NDP.

Pat Condell: Islam's War on Freedom

Pat Condell is an English comedian who is most famous for lambasting Fundamentalist Christians in the U.S. Here he shares some thoughts on an upcoming Islamic Free Speech conference:

Look up "Moron" and you'll see the photo of Avi Lewis

Avi Lewis is the poster boy for American hating, Christian hating extremist liberals. Watch him here try to lecture a very brave woman from Somalia, Ayaan Hirsi, about his warped view that there's a lack of freedom and democracy in the United States.

Without a doubt, he represents everything that is wrong with Canadian liberals. Incidentally, some have speculated that this CBC interview was what got him the job at Al Jazeera.

Pat Condell: Islam is not a victim

The Hijacking of Islam

The religion of Islam is supposed to stand for Equality and Social Justice. But it has been hijacked and now seems to represent something very different. So says Tarek Fatah, in this fascinating interview with CFRB's John Moore, which you can listen to here. The more I listen to Fatah, the more I admire him. You can visit his website here.

SteynWatch: The "Case" Against Him

Calgary Herald - Jan 2, 2008 - Naseem Mithoowani, Khurrum Awan, Muneeza Sheikh and Daniel Simard write that "some clarifications are in order" re: The Calgary Herald's coverage of their complaint to at least three of Canada's many "human rights" commissions about an excerpt from my book, America Alone, published by Maclean's.

So, in that spirit, let me clarify one point of their column,"Debate denied over Maclean's Muslim article," which ran Saturday. They cite the following quote as an "extract from Steyn's article": "The number of Muslims is expanding like mosquitoes."

That line certainly appears in my text, but they're not my words. Rather, they were said by a prominent Scandinavian Muslim, Mullah Krekar, to a respectable Norwegian newspaper. The imam was boasting at how Islam would outbreed Europe: "We're the ones who will change you . . . Just look at the development within Europe, where the number of Muslims is expanding like mosquitoes. Every western woman in the EU is producing an average of 1.4 children. Every Muslim woman in the same countries is producing 3.5 children."

This is the nub of Messrs Mithoowani, Awan, Sheikh and Simard's complaints against Maclean's: They're objecting to a Canadian magazine quoting accurately the statements of leading Muslims. And at least two of Canada's "human rights" commissions, to their shame, have accepted their absurd proposition that accurately quoting leading Muslims is somehow "Islamophobic."

The complainants were not "denied debate." They could -- as many Maclean's readers (infidel and Muslim alike) did on the letters page -- have had all the debate they wanted in the weeks after the article appeared. Instead, they waited five months before going in to see Maclean's editors, which is only marginally less ridiculous than me wandering in and demanding a right of reply to the Calgary Herald's rotogravure special on the Relief of Mafeking. They then demanded, among other ludicrous conditions, money for their "cause."

They and their friends at the Canadian Islamic Congress are seemingly not interested in stimulating debate, but only in shutting it down, by making it more trouble than it's worth for editors to run articles on one of the central questions of the age: Islam's relationship with a dying West. In using quasi-judicial coercion to squash debate, they make one of the central points of my argument -- that a proportion of Islam is inimical to western traditions of freedom -- more eloquently than I ever could.

It is puzzling to me, even granted the cobwebbed modishness of these misbegotten creations of the Trudeaupian Seventies, why the Canadian and British Columbia "Human Rights" Commissions regard it as within their jurisdiction to regulate the editorial decisions of privately owned magazines. But any Canadian interested in freedom of expression should be deeply concerned by the commissions' willingness to hear this "case."

My fellow British Columbians, your tax dollars are funding the BC Human Rights Tribunal. I tried to figure out who the members of this group are. There's an Org chart but no names are listed. This is a kangaroo court created at the height of political correctness. It is not a court of law and clearly cannot exist in an open and democratic country.

Is Gordon Brown Right or Wrong?

New British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, has quickly set new policy after the recent terrorism attempts:

Gordon Brown has banned ministers from using the word ‘Muslim’ in ¬connection with the ¬terrorism crisis. The Prime Minister has also instructed his team – including new Home Secretary Jacqui Smith – that the phrase ‘war on ¬terror’ is to be dropped. The shake-up is part of a fresh attempt to improve community relations and avoid offending Muslims, adopting a more ‘consensual’ tone than existed under Tony Blair… Mr Brown’s spokesman acknowledged yesterday that ministers had been given specific guidelines to avoid inflammatory language. ‘There is clearly a need to strike a consensual tone in relation to all communities across the UK,’ the spokesman said. ‘It is important that the country remains united.’

Is this the right or wrong decision? Watch this interview with reformed terrorist, Hasan Butt, and then decide:




Still not decided? Then read this recent posting by the author of "Londistan".
