Britain’s Dhimmification Continues

Welcome to Eurabia:

Two schoolboys were given detention after refusing to kneel down and ‘pray to Allah’ during a religious education lesson.

Parents were outraged that the two boys from year seven (11 to 12-year-olds) were punished for not wanting to take part in the practical demonstration of how Allah is worshipped.

They said forcing their children to take part in the exercise at Alsager High School, near Stoke-on-Trent - which included wearing Muslim headgear - was a breach of their human rights.

You just can’t make up this shit:

Police sniffer dogs will have to wear bootees when searching the homes of Muslims so as not to cause offence.

Guidelines being drawn up by the Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo) urge awareness of religious sensitivities when using dogs to search for drugs and explosives. The guidelines, to be published this year, were designed to cover mosques but have been extended to include other buildings.

Where Muslims object, officers will be obliged to use sniffer dogs only in exceptional cases. Where dogs are used, they will have to wear bootees with rubber soles. “We are trying to ensure that police forces are aware of sensitivities that people can have with the dogs to make sure they are not going against any religious or cultural element within people’s homes. It is being addressed and forces are working towards doing it,” Acpo said.

Problems faced by the use of sniffer dogs were highlighted last week when Tayside police were forced to apologise for a crime prevention poster featuring a german shepherd puppy, in response to a complaint by a Muslim councillor.

Islamic injunctions warn Muslims against contact with dogs, which are regarded as “unclean”.

……John Midgley, co-founder of the Campaign Against Political Correctness, said: “The police are in effect being overly sensitive to potential criminals and not being sensitive enough to the public at large who need to be protected.

Ya think?

And yet another step toward the coming British Caliphate:

The most senior judge in England yesterday gave his blessing to the use of sharia law to resolve disputes among Muslims.

Lord Chief Justice Lord Phillips said that Islamic legal principles could be employed to deal with family and marital arguments and to regulate finance.

He declared: ‘Those entering into a contractual agreement can agree that the agreement shall be governed by a law other than English law.’

In his speech at an East London mosque, Lord Phillips signalled approval of sharia principles as long as punishments - and divorce rulings - complied with the law of the land.

But his remarks, which back the informal sharia courts operated by numerous mosques, provoked a barrage of criticism.

Lawyers warned that family and marital disputes settled by sharia could disadvantage women or the vulnerable.

Tories said that legal equality must be respected and that rulings incompatible with English law should never be enforceable.

Lord Phillips spoke five months after Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams suggested Islamic law could govern marital law, financial transactions and arbitration in disputes.

The Lord Chief Justice said yesterday of the Archbishop’s views: ‘It was not very radical to advocate embracing sharia law in the context of family disputes’.

He added there is ‘widespread misunderstanding as to the nature of sharia law’.

So, I guess we just ‘misunderstand’ the opressive, misogynist, violent nature of Sharia Law.

……Lord Phillips said that any sanctions must be ‘drawn from the laws of England and Wales’. Severe physical punishment - he mentioned stoning, flogging or amputating hands - is ‘out of the question’ in Britain, he added.

Yeah, right. Just wait until that, as well as ‘honor killings’ are argued before a British court as part of Sharia Law.

……Barrister and human rights specialist John Cooper said: ‘There should be one law by which everyone is held to account.

‘Well-crafted laws in this country, drawn up to protect both parties including the weak and vulnerable party in matrimonial break-ups, could be compromised.’

Resolution, the organisation of family law solicitors, said people should govern their lives in accordance with religious principles ‘provided that those beliefs and traditions do not contradict the fundamental principle of equality on which Britain’s laws are based.’

……Robert Whelan, of the Civitas think tank, said: ‘Everybody is governed by English law and it is not possible to sign away your legal rights. That is why guarantees on consumer products always have to tell customers their statutory rights are not affected.

‘There is not much doubt that in traditional Islamic communities women do not enjoy the freedoms that they have had for 100 years or more in Britain.

‘It is very easy to put pressure on young women in a male-dominated household. The English law stands to protect people from intimidation in such circumstances.’

Shadow Home Secretary Dominic Grieve said: ‘Mediation verdicts which are incompatible with our own legal principles should never be enforceable. One of the key aspects of our free society is equality. This should be understood and respected by all.’

The Ministry of Justice said: ‘English law takes precedence over any other legal system. The Government has no intention of changing this position. Alongside this, it is possible to resolve civil law dispute by other systems.’

English law won’t ‘take precedence over any other legal system’ if rulings like Phillips’ continue.

Stop the Press! A Euro Muslim Supports the U.S. War on Terrorism

First a brief bio on the author:

Sameh El-Shahat was born in Egypt and educated at Cambridge. He spent 10 years in the City before becoming a film-maker, commentator and furniture designer.

So, the hot news now is Barack Obama.

Obama this, Obama that… Naturally, it is very laudable that the United States may have chosen to look beyond the issue of race and opted for a person purely on the merit of his character. But what will they find?

The usual hot air that Washington politicians seem to have made their own. Mr Obama is no different. We’re just too politically correct to say that the only thing refreshing about him is his colour. So we say he’s “bipartisan”, or he’s a “uniter”.

Whatever happened to leadership and honesty as presidential traits? I happen to believe that the only leader in the West to have these two admirable qualities in droves is the leader of the free world: George W Bush.

Yes, we’ve all heard the Bushisms and laughed at them but do you really think somebody supposedly that thick can make it to the top of the most sophisticated political system the world has ever seen?

No, and that is because Mr Bush is far cleverer than most of his predecessors. He may not have been a Rhodes Scholar, but he has the ability to reach out to his people and read them.

Actually, Bush is a graduate of Yale and attended Harvard Business School.

Take the Iraq war for example. OK, so he got us into Iraq in the first place. But for Pete’s sake, he’s the leader of the world’s only superpower. He needs to take decisions, even if sometimes they have nasty consequences - which is far better than we do in Europe, where we enjoy dithering not as a means to an end, but as an end in itself.

Something had to be done about Iraq and our government was all for attacking it too. So let’s not blame G.W. for the war.

And when things did go wrong in Iraq, and there were calls to pull out, Mr Bush just followed his own counsel and doubled his bet with the Surge.

And he was right because Iraq is in a relatively better shape today than it ever was and Al Qa’eda is a shadow of its former self in that country.

This is a man who has the courage of his convictions.

Let’s not forget how Europe does wars.

Usually we wait and wait until the enemy starts attacking, then we let them win a bit, then we fight until we are tired, then we just call the US to come over to clean our mess.
That is what happened in WWI, WWII, and the Balkans.

Bush is just showing us what a bunch of dangerous ditherers we are and we hate him for it. Naturally.

……Not much leadership from Europe here, as usual, just doublespeak. Once again, it is to Bush that we look for leadership.

Bush may not have the slickness of his predecessor, but he is a man you can trust and who prefers to tell it like it is.

……The fact is you guys hate Mr Bush because he is not a hypocrite and you are used to hypocrites as your leaders. We hate what we don’t understand.

Yes, yes, all you bleeding heart liberals are cringing out there. I can just hear you. But the fact is, Mr Bush has had to take some very tough decisions and the world needs people who can not only talk but also act tough and admit mistakes.

Of course you think Mr Obama is going to make a difference, but as I write this, he’s already giving all the signs of somebody who will say anything to get into power only to act in exactly the same way as the Washington clique he aims to replace!

Hating George W. Bush is not only dull and unoriginal, but it shows a complete lack of understanding of the world in which we live in.

You want liberty but you don’t want to defend it… right.

El-Shahat understands and appreciates the fact that a world with Islamic terrorist goons requires a leader with enough guts to fight them unmercifully, on their own turf.

Expect a death Fatwa to be issued any day now.

U.K. to Release Bin Laden’s “Right Hand Man”

Yep, this will make Britons feel a whole lot safer:

Radical cleric Abu Qatada, described as “Osama bin Laden’s right hand man in Europe,” is to be released in the next 24 hours.

Qatada, who is accused of giving advice and support to terrorists including the leader of the September 11 hijackers, has been described in official documents as a “truly dangerous individual” who was “heavily involved, indeed at the centre of terrorist activities associated with al-Qa’eda.”

He has been convicted twice in Jordan in his absence for conspiracy to carry out bomb attacks on two hotels in Amman in 1998, and providing finance and advice for a series of bomb attacks in Jordan planned to coincide with the Millennium.

It was those convictions which allowed him to argue in the Appeal Court he would not get a fair treatment in his home country.

What cracks me up, is that Jordan is just one of the producers and financiers of terrorism in the Middle East.

He will be electronically tagged and put under a 22-hour curfew at his family home in Acton, West London.

He will not be allowed a mobile phone or access to the internet and the bail conditions include a long list of Islamic radicals with whom he is banned from communicating, including Osama bin Laden.

Link: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/majornews/2145778/Abu-Qatada-Radical-cleric-to-be-released-’in-next-24-hours’.html

Why don’t they just send him to bed without his falafel? He’ll just get others to communicate and work around the ‘restrictions’ for him.
Do you promise, Abu Qatada, to be a good little reformed jihadist and make nice with the infidels?
Sure you do.

Welcome to Euristan.

The Irish Veto EU Treaty

Political leaders across Europe were shaking their heads in frustration this weekend at the Irish voters’ veto of the latest European Union treaty. But many of their citizens weren’t.

Ordinary Spaniards, Dutch, French and Britons, who wish they could get the same chance, might also say “no” to the cold, distant heart of Europe.

“Spaniards feel Spanish, the French feel French, and the Dutch feel Dutch. We will never all be in the same boat,” said Eduardo Herranz, a 41-year-old salesman in Madrid, Spain.

Which is why the European union was a piss-poor idea to begin with.

This is another reason why the Irish are so wary of the EU:

……Many Europeans say this is exactly the problem with democracy Brussels-style, where European Commission members are not directly elected but wield continental powers.

“We’re told we can vote no, that the system requires unanimity. But when (a `no’ vote) actually happens, every time, the EU tells us: You really only have a right to vote yes,” said Dublin travel agent Paul Brady, who voted against the treaty. “You know, I love traveling through Europe, but I don’t really want to live there all the time. I’d like to stay as close to America as Europe.”

That’s not a union, that’s a dictatorship. 

There’s widespread discontent with this form of ‘government’:

……Citizens across the continent complain they have no direct power to influence EU treaties, which are produced in legalese too complex to understand. They say it’s not enough that their elected governments help to negotiate such treaties.

Would-be voters in France and the Netherlands appear particularly annoyed on that score. Majorities there thought they had registered powerful statements against EU accountability by shooting down the EU’s proposed constitution in 2005.

Instead, most of the constitution’s rules for reshaping EU institutions and decision-making procedures reappeared in new packaging two years later when all 27 governments signed the Lisbon Treaty in the Portuguese capital.

“First they asked our opinion (on the constitution), and we said no. So the second time they didn’t ask our opinion. They said it wasn’t the same, just some little laws. But it is the same,” said Han de Vries, a parking meter attendant in Amsterdam.

……Rachel Sayer, a French woman spending the summer working in Dublin, said her country “would have voted no again” if given the opportunity to test the Lisbon Treaty.

“I know we voted no to the last one, and changes were made, and our government passed it without a revote. A lot of people didn’t like that,” said Sayer, 24, sitting in Dublin’s central park with friends.

So, what this all boils down to is that the respective governments of each country in the EU are not only overiding the will of their citizens, but pushing through their own agendas without the courtesy of a referendum.

Congratulations Europe. You’ve got that union you wanted.
 

Lost British Secret Documents Given to BBC

The passenger who found them is just as stupid and irresponsible as the asshat who left them behind.

LONDON - A government security breach involving secret documents that were left on a London commuter train has not jeopardized national security interests, British officials said Thursday.

The breach was traced back to a Cabinet office senior intelligence official who has been suspended pending an inquiry.

The documents assessing al-Qaida’s vulnerabilities and the capabilities of Iraq’s security forces were discovered by a passenger on a London commuter train Tuesday. The passenger then passed the documents to the British Broadcasting Corp.

Prime Minister Gordon Brown promised a full investigation.

“We take this seriously and of course any breach of intelligence cannot be condoned,” Brown told reporters Thursday. “We will have to trace where these documents have gone, if they have gone anywhere apart from in an envelope to a local BBC station.”

At least one page of the documents was stamped June 5, indicating the assessments were recent.

There was no evidence the breach threatened national security, said Ed Miliband from the Cabinet office.

“There is no evidence to suggest that our vital national security interests have been damaged or any individuals or operations have been put at risk,” Miliband said. “While the documents do not contain the names of individual sources or specific operational details, they are sensitive, high-level intelligence assessments.”

Britain’s Official Secrets Act prohibits individuals from circulating secret information.

Government rules also forbid the removal of secret documents without authorization and compliance with security procedures.
“No authorization was sought for the removal of the documents,” Miliband said.

The BBC has said it could not reveal the documents’ exact contents after receiving legal advice.

1. The official who removed the documents had no authorization to do so. 2. The bunghole who found them, turned them over to the BBC.

Security violations galore.
