-RetweetBBC: 'A Warning to Britain'

Mon, May 7, 2007 at 4:07:27 pm PDT

BBC Panorama had a scary little show tonight on the refusal of British Muslims to integrate into mainstream society, and their takeover of the town of Blackburn; LGF operative Kasper has uploaded a clip.

RE: Lancashire?

Interesting.

What was I saying about the closing comments of Simon Schama's A History of Britain? The installment titled Empire of Good Intentions?

That if Britons want to maintain their concept of liberal democracy, they're going to have to fight for it. Not only in places like Calcutta and Delhi, but Lancashire.

I could watch the video, but had no sound. But that was telling enough.

It reminds me, I'm going to start a religion where we wear pancakes on our heads. If someone looks at me funny, I'm going to say that individual is a pancakeophobe and racist. It is my religious belief and don't you criticize me for it.

I'll probably implement some of David Koresh's "god says your wife wants to be with me tonight" stuff in my religion as well!

I think there are very few non-muslims who would feel safe with that parade going by their house. Can't the Ummah figure out how to have a happy parade with floats and candy instead of angry chants ijn Arabic?

Vive La France!

Vive le president de la republique!

I respect all cultures throughout the world, but so that it is quite clear: if I am elected President of the Republic, I will not accept women being treated as inferior to men. The French Republic holds these values: respect for women, equality between men and women. Nobody has the right to hold a prisoner, even within his own family. I say it clearly, that polygamy is prohibited in the territory of the French Republic. I will fight against female genital mutilation and those who do not wish to understand that the values of the French Republic include freedom for women, the dignity of women, respect for women -- they do not have any reason to be in France. If our laws are not respected and if one does not wish to understand our values, if one does not wish to learn French, then one does not have any reason to be on French territory.

...I'm interested to hear a translation as to what all those men in the parade were shouting.

It didn't sound to ME as if they were celebrating the birth of their 'salvation'. That would be sort of a joyful sound.

These guys sounded rather 'angry' and 'threatening'.

Did you hear the Police Officer complaining that "we try year after year to get the organizers to at least put Engish banners up, so that those who can't read it or can't understand it will know what it is straightaway".

Understanding is not the issue. Not if by "understanding", you mean comprehension. I comprehend the message of a triumphant mass of people shouting and waving flags not my own, while they march right down Main Street in my town.

These muslims that immigrate to other countries and take over entire cities are able to, not because these countries don't have militaries that could stop them, but because it's not politically correct in these countries to stop them. That includes our own. Like maybe while GB and the U.S. are defending Iraq, we can defend our own countries too?

ChuckP, I was thinking the same thing. No translation but it doesn't sound like they were saying "Love your brother". Its seems like the reporter could of been sensitive enough to understand the language of the "protesters", I meant "religious paraders". Whatever they were saying, I am sure the BBC really doesn't want me to know. Hate to say it, but its true, and we all know it.

"...have literally tried to re-design the town, to get the communities together again. ... The Turkish style was deliberately chosen, to be diplomatic. ... We felt tat people would like it from, uh, kind of, a multi-cultural perspective"

Stupid Woman. Stupid developer. Stupid town council.

Nobody actually likes multi-cultural anything. Neither the woman, nor the developer, nor any member of the town council would live there. None of the whites want to live in a "turkish style" home--not in Lancashire. If they did, they'd go to Turkey. And the Muslims who bought the homes are not interested in multi-culti anything except as a transition from English culture to the Caliphate.

I have resumed reading Churchill's "History of the English-Speaking Peoples", having taken an intermission after the second volume. This Saracen tide is a disaster.

Watch the video and feel like your doing something substantial to raise awareness. I doubt the angry third generation Pakistanis or their young women adopting the burkha as a proud symbol of protest will be convinced. I agree with the old lady in the video - it's rubbish. Not the ridiculous third world pride these idiots display. But the fact they can and do with such smiling pride.

I think the white/muslim diad they have going, even as they made a pretty good show, is evidence that the West is pretty much still using a languge about difference that is outmoded and not related to reality.

Worse though are the Karen Armstrongs, the liberals who see loving and tolerating every other culture in the world as the "White Man`s Burden." Somehow, "we" (since many of us are not actually white) can take it. Somehow, we have transcended the realities of Planet Earth and are able to tolerate those who would have us as their slaves. Other cultures are allowed to be narrow-minded, bigoted, inefficient, unproductive, irrational etc.. All those things which would be taken as inferiority in another "white" culture are not allowed to be noticed or have to rationalized away.

This is the last viable racism in the West and it is funny that it is an illness borne by the vast majority of our high priests in academia, the media and politics.

Forgive me for even thinking "genocide". It puts me right up there with those who would love to see it happen to all non-Muslims and heaven knows I don't wish to be affiliated with their ilk.

The problem with immigration is that in the case of the UK and places like Germany, France and the Netherlands it's probably already too late. In the name of multiculturalism and mass immigration they went overboard and now they're drowning.

I agree we need to close our borders, at least for the time being. No more immigration, no visas, nothing. Otherwise, UK's problem will become ours. It's already happening in Canada and it started 30 some years ago.

Regarding immigration in particular, it is unfortunate there is not a single leader who can articulate how unprecedented and harmful our currrent scheme is to the fabric of a country. If Mexico showed itself as a shining example of liberty and opportunity I would welcome every newcomer. But Mexico is a corrupt, dangerous cleptocracy whose people are fleeing to come here.

And to all the others regarding the lack of assimilation - very true. I have no problem with people being proud of their heritage, or learning their parents' (not THEIR native) language. That's cool. But not to the point of purposely excluding yourself from the culture and nation in which you live. This isn't becoming a citizen or being an immigrant - it is, in fact, colonizing. Here in LA, Santa Ana, etc., you see this all the time. There are many individuals born and raised in the US that refuse to speak, and can barely speak, English, and have never been to Mexico, but continually parade their pride at being "Mexican" all the time.

Tragically, THIS is how the Faith of God becomes shattered, splintered and ineffective... when our LOVE FOR OTHER HUMANS (who used to be 'the same') is no longer sufficient to UNITE US... then the re-ligio is dead, gone, for re-ligio MEANS 're-unite', doesn't it?

Fortunately, Baha'u'llah RENEWED the Faith of God, and set in place a Covenant with His Followers: Unity (NOT UNIFORMITY) is powerful, highly desirable and achievable, so instead of arguing/quibbling/dividing, turn to 'Abdu-l Baha, the Center of the Covenant, to resolve any differences.

Currently going through Lucifer's Hammer again, gearing myself up for preparing a document to assist in individual and neighborhood preparedness for a possible pandemic of bird flu; at the request of the local public health people. A bit 'extreme', perhaps, but if the mortality rate jumps from 52% to 86% as it did in that one, fortunately short-'lived' burst of human-to-human contagion in Indonesia last year, it could be a useful frame of mind.

Could the lose have anything to do with someone not voting! I may not like or agree fully with any of them, but I will vote, otherwise I have to STFU because I gave up the right to give my opinion!


As far as I am concerned, any one of the Republicans running would still be far better than any of the Democrats. As much as I care about a lot of issues, I will never forgive the Democratic party for what they've done to the military. Nothing any Republican that is currently running for President has ever done anything nearly as treasonous as what Hillary, Obama, Kerry, Murtha, Pelosi and more have done. Nothing Pres. Bush has done is treasonous either. He might be misguided on some things, but he does not hate our military.

I will vote Republican no matter what. There is still hope for my guy to win though when you consider something that a friend of mine repeated (she heard Newt saying it on tv) which is that at this point in the 94 primaries, Bill Clinton was favored by 4% in the polls. Tancredo is higher than that and there is still plenty of time for him to have his message heard. He is not a one issue candidate either.

I couldn't agree more. After having served under 6 (OMG) CICs, I could never vote Democratic, but will always vote. I've voted when out of the country a couple of times, and not sure if they even counted, but I know I voiced my opinion with my vote. Anyone who served through the Carter and Clinton years should really think hard about their vote if they care for those still serving. I usually don't post when the military is talked about, hard to keep the civil response active.

The clip supplied by Kasper was edited from a 27 minute programme.

What was not shown in clip is that it is evident that the British White and muslim communities are unable to mix as they have very little in common, so much so that white residents are moving to other areas.

My fear is the troubles seen in Northern Ireland where the two religious communities, although a lot more peaceful now, need to be seperated by barded wire and walls will be mirrored up and down the length of the UK.

I have to agree with comments in #145 that Mo's birthday march does reek of the Sectarian Orange Order and Republican marches that antagonises the Protestant and Catholic communities.

The clip also highlights how out of touch government bodies are with the problem and unable to come up with solutions to deal with it.

You can see this evidently with the police unable to get the organisers of the march to get the banners to display multi-lingual writing, the Government advisor downplaying the problem and the property development which reeks of government interfering social engineering.

When I watch that "martyrdom video" of the Yorkshire bomber, what I see is not a Muslim or an Asian, but your typical gob-happy arrogant bastard Yorkshireman, and he has the belligerant Yorkshire bastards accent to go with it. Gobby little tosser. Then I notice he's a Muslim and then I am dumbstruck at the awful realisation of a hybrid creature born of those two awful things...Islam and Yorkshiremen!

The Panorama prog wasnt too bad for BBC. Although it seemed to be trying to blame it on old whitey for running away ( hence the clevver-dick little title "White Fright", as though to imply an irrational fear, a phobia, as in, of course, Islamophobia, geddit ). Hilariously, it was presented by a man called White! The best bit was the smart new homes built with Turkish interiors, in the expectation that this would appeal to both Muslims and non-Muslims and which seemed to have equally repelled both markets. Clueless!

Meanwhile, Blackburn I realise is in Lancashire, and I confess I find the Lancastrian manner very appealing. The accent is very charming. So Im not anti-Northernites entirely.

Britons trust politicians less than car salesmen: poll

LONDON (AFP) - Politicians are the least trusted people in Britain, with more faith placed in car salesmen, a survey released on Tuesday revealed.

The poll of 1,900 readers of Reader's Digest magazine showed that firefighters inspired trust in 97 percent of respondents, the highest rate of any profession, followed by pharmacists, pilots, nurses and doctors.

Faith in politicians, however, dropped from an already-low 15 percent in 2002 to seven percent in the latest poll. Eight percent of respondents said they trusted car salesmen.

It marks the first time in the survey's history that politicians have been the least-trusted profession.

To be fair it kind of seemed to me,that the "Asian population" had almost the same ratio of the "will do anything" "will do nothing". Though it was my observation that the Indians were far more entrepripinurial. That said, all seemed to agree that the new arrivals were a major cause for concern. I was warned off Birmingham (for instance)for fear of being targeted by these people. They were serious,it was a no go zone even then. Here's the question.

The BBC Panorama program made much of ‘white flight’, with the not so subtle hints of racism aimed at the white i.e. native population, a population that incidentally had absolutely no say in the importation of mulsim immigrants into their towns.

But the phenomenon is not one of white flight. It is one of Kaffir flight, and can witnessed to varying degrees right across the world, anywhere in fact where muslims and non-muslims are, or were in close proximity.

The non-muslim and hardly ‘white’ populations of Pakistan, Bangladesh, Kashmir, Lebanon, Palestine, Northern Nigeria, Southern Philippines and Turkey have all sharply declined in the last 50 years.

In fact the entire Middle East outside of Israel, is literally emptying of non-muslims.

You do get the impression that there are some responsible BBC journalists who try to get a little of the truth out past the blatent liberal agenda of their editors.

Overall, I felt the TV programme tried to portray the issue as White semi-racism. It did little to confront the regression of the muslim community back to a non-integrating confrontational religious identity.

While it attacked the liberal multicultural policy of the Inspired Circa Housing project, at the end it presented a warm fuzzy image of white and muslim children sitting together, sorting out their differences with crayons and paper.

The average member of public who watched the TV prog will go away and feel safe that with liberal multiculturalism, things will eventually sort themselves out.

I just wished the American lizards could see the full TV programme and understand why this problem is not being taken seriously in UK society apart from the affected communities.

The 'youngsters' will be the ones to start it. It'll probably look like those suburbs of Paris; as your beaches are not as 'attractive' as those in Australia, e.g., Bondi.

Good luck...

#153 Carradine -

That's ok. I'm Eastern Orthodox, and we've never had to have the Faith renewed. After all, it was given "once for all to the saints." (Jude 3). No need to add, subtract, or change anything. So, that would mean that we've got you beat by, what, 1811 years? Hehehehehe . . .

In any event, I'm more concerned about the True Faith than getting along theologically, necessarily.

Which, of course, brings us back to the topic - theological disagreements that lead to purposefull isolation and hostility, as seen in the video.

#(forgot the number) Limey in Yank's Clothing:
Yeah, Westminster is pretty cool. I don't mean to sound racist, but several public school teacher friends of mine prefer Westminster to, say, Santa Ana or Hawaiian Gardens, etc. They say the Vietnamese kids come to this country, bust their butts, learn the language quickly, and are grateful.

The Mexican "immigrants" seem to have been poisoned by a lot of activists and leftists who infuse psuedo-history of California and the Southwest with racist propaganda (La Raza anyone?) and have led these poor kids into an extreme version of American egocentrism exacerbated by racist isolationism.

Oh, and I also like Westminster because it's the only city in the U.S., I believe, that Communist Party officials cannot enter. How's that for a slice of fried gold?
