It’d be funny if it weren’t so sad, the way Britain is bending over, thanking Islam for the abuse, and asking for more please. The stories just keep coming, and honestly, it’s starting to piss me off on a personal level. My grandfather, and many of yours, are dead because they felt Britain and the rest of conquered Europe worthy enough to help defend. I begin to doubt why they bothered, as it seems their efforts merely put off the destruction of that civilization by about 70 years.
First from reader Bob M., another Allah Akbar, dogs are unclean! :
Police sniffer dogs will soon have to wear bootees when searching Muslim households to avoid causing offence.
The Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo) has drawn up guidelines, due to be published later this year, urging religious sensitivity when using dogs to seek out contraband.
The recommendation was originally drawn up to cover police searches of Mosques but has now been extended to Muslim homes, The Sunday Times reported.
Police officers will only use sniffer dogs to search a Muslim property in exceptional circumstances, should the owner object.
But the dog must wear bootees to cover its paws as it goes its search.
Dogs’ saliva is considered to be unclean or impure in Islamic teaching and it is forbidden to keep the animals as pets.
…Last week, some Muslims raised objections over being searched by explosive-detecting sniffer dogs at Brighton train station.
The Muslims reported that it was not permissible for them to have direct contact with dogs due to their religious or cultural beliefs.
I’m sticking with Kathy Shaidle’s all-encompassing on this: If your religion thinks dogs are unclean, your religion is fucking retarded. Sorry. Just true.
Next from reader John D., , much more disturbing and ominous:
Two boys were punished this week for refusing to kneel on prayer mats and worship Allah during a class demonstration on Islam, the Daily Mail reported.
Irate parents said a religious education teacher at the Alsager High School in England told students to wear Muslim headgear during a lesson on Tuesday. “But if Muslims were asked to go to church on Sunday and take Holy Communion, there would be war,” the grandfather of one of the students said.
The two boys belong to a class that includes 11- to 12-year-olds, and after their refusal to participate they were given detention, the story says.
…According to a statement from the Cheshire County Council on behalf of the school: “Educating children in the beliefs of different faith is part of the diversity curriculum on the basis that knowledge is essential to understanding.”
Sweet rotting Mohammed.
The good news is, at least some of the parents are . But I almost have to laugh at them because seriously people, what did you expect? Did you not see this coming a hundred miles away? Their mosques runneth over in your neighborhoods and you stand idly by. Their daughters disappear from school to be put in arranged marriages, and you whistle with your hands in your pockets, talking about tolerance and cultural differences. They’re about to make it so you can’t even get bomb-sniffing dogs within sight of them, and your police explain it’s all about “sensitivity.”
Bah. You’re gonna have to do a lot better than being “understanding diversity” yet being indignant when your own children are asked to wear towels on their heads and pray to Allah. I swear to all that is holy. If I had kids, and this even came close to happening in the U.S., I would FLIP MY SHIT.
But I’m a bigot of low tolerance, so never mind all this racist ranting from a hillbilly Amurrican. I haven’t been properly indoctrinated with diversity training, after all.
You’re the best. Absolutely right again. I wish you had a sub-category like “Stupid England” so I could direct my British friends to the full collection of all your wonderful rants regarding the suicide of the once mighty and noble Empire.
My take has always been that they have embraced Marx for too long – this was bound to happen eventually anyway. Islam is just the latest (and most lethal) Marxist tool that will finally teach us crude Americans how wrong we were to divorce oursleves from the mother country. See the Marx-Chomsky-leftist drivel from Adam Gadan and you’ll know what I mean. Adam Gadan (before he was blown to smithereens) could have been a handsomely paid editorialist for any newspaper in England. He chose poorly. But England, for the most part, would sooner side with the Islamists than the capitalists. And we continue to watch them slip into the abyss even as they rail against us. We’ll be here much longer. But eventually their fate will be our own.
The decline of Great Britain makes me want to vomit. My vacations there were wonderful. There were no more gracious people in the universe. But to just roll over and give up their civilization? It’s too much to bear.
I got your “bootees” right here, pal.
I think I like that better than any of the little “Jesus on a ____” exclamations you use Rachel (although I do get a snicker out of most of them).
Prepare for it people. It is coming to a U.S. school near you in the next decade. What the Islamist movement can’t accomplish by force, will be accomplished for them by our own Politically Correct liberals, who have control of the media, our educational institutions, and soon, our government. They will ass-kiss us into servitude.
The only saving grace is that those same liberals will be the first ones put to death. Learn Chinese and immigrate, because I suspect that China will be the last bastion against the latest tide of Islamic conquest. Great choice huh, Communism or Islam.
Other than all that, I’m usually pretty optimistic.
:-)
The PCers try that in the US, and I bet there will be some serious shit flipping going on.
3 year olds that don’t want to try food from a different culture must be reported as ‘racist’.
I can only hope we’re taking lessons and learn from them.
Britain had Chamberlain before it had Churchill. There is still hope.
The problem is that the Brits have lost their self-confidence in the value of their own culture. They have been slowly and steadily worn down by leftist enabling multi-cultural crap that it becomes second nature to genuflect to it and pay homage to whomever cries victim. They are being hollowed out by it.
They really do have a decision to make and they ought to make it soon. They need to decide if they want to do the easy thing or the right thing. Because when you come right down to it, it is un-islamic for the muslims to not force you to worship muhammad. And a proper multiculturalist must respect their natural desire and indeed religious mandate to do that. It is, depending on how lost your soul is to the multiculti beast, practically proper to aid and comfort them in their quest.
Muslims are just using (yet another) tool that they didn’t invent. Leftist intellectuals created and established multiculturism to empower themselves. Multiculturism is the problem. It is the most obviously flawed and strangely accepted BS invented in my lifetime. And that includes Scientology. Well, perhaps its a tie.
Pray that the British people start valuing leaders with brass ones, like Margaret Thatcher, again.
Suppose I, a Westerner, went to an Islamic country and started yelling at the natives: “Hey! Stop following your local customs because I find them offensive! Rearrange your society right now to conform to what I consider normal and decent!”
I’d be lynched, right? And everyone back here in the States would say: “What an obnoxious jerk! He deserved what he got, behaving like that.”
But if Muslims go to Britain and do exactly the same thing, the Britons fall all over themselves to comply with the Muslims’ ridiculous demands.
The proper response would be to say: “Dogs are a normal part of our society and our customs. You knew that before you came here. We are not going to change our way of life just for you, and you are an arrogant, intolerant, provincial jackass for demanding that we do so. If you cannot accept the fact that our culture is different from yours, then you are not welcome here. Shut up and go back where you came from! Or to Hell, if that’s easier for you.”
How about this for a sound bite?
“Britain: It’s the new France”
That’s perfect. And really sad.
Can they be shamed into standing up for themselves?
A serious question; What would it take for Rachel’s readers to take to the streets and seriously protest an action taken by the local or federal government?
Rachel hit it, no bomb sniffing dogs in the name of “sensitivity”, complete BS.
My kids kneeling to Allah in school, no f’ing way. Come on England get you heads out!
Last Christmas I went on a 3-day trip to London with my family and we were all shocked to see Muslim women walking around in packs, wearing traditional clothing – and I mean the kind that leaves just a tiny slit for the eyes and it’s just a step below the burquah (sp?).
This past week we had two cases of Muslim teenage girls who were being forced/pressured into arranged marriages: one made the headlines by throwing herself from her apartment’s balcony, the other by running away from home and staging a kidnap.
The journalist who covered the first case was very careful to point out it had nothing to do with Hina Saleem.
As it happens, Hina Saleem was a 18 years old Pakistani girl who left her family to live with her Italian boyfriend and work on her own rather than marry the suitor her father had picked for her and be packed back to Pakistan. That paragon of paternal love, then, lured her back to the family house, killed her and buried her in the garden with the help of other family members.
I beg to differ: those cases have a lot to do with her!
Meanwhile, people write letters to the newspapers, wondering if reintroducing school uniforms for elementary school students (i.e. a long-sleeved apron to be worn over normal clothing) will make our cities look like Teheran.
Now excuse me, I must go and find a seat on the handbasket.
EDIT: How about training sniffer pigs?
Sniffer pigs. Yes!
I taught in London for about six years before picking up sticks and moving back to Australia, my Pommy husband in tow.
I’ll never forget an experience I had at one particular school. The class teacher, who was on some kind of course, had left a note asking me to cover an aspect of Judaism in the R.E (religious education) lesson. No sooner had the lesson begun than the Muslim pupils (about 4 in total) covered their ears with their hands. They stayed like that until I stopped talking and, not surprisingly, refused to do any of the written work that followed. “We’re not allowed to learn anything about Jews”, they told me. What was even more shocking was the reaction of the Head Teacher (Principal), who basically shrugged it off and told me that there was nothing he could do. And true to his word, that’s exactly what he did. Nothing. No detention. Not even a stern talking-to.
For every non-Muslim kid who gets punished for refusing to worhip Allah, you can be sure there are countless other Muslim kids getting off scot-free for the same thing or similar, just like in the story I related.
And don’t get me started on the NHS (U.K’s National Health Service). From bitter personal experience I can assure you that socialised health care is FRIGHTENING.
Rachel, I really enjoy your blog. Sorry it’s taken me a couple of months to get out of lurker mode.
sniffer pigs
with bootees
Careful Rachel, least you bring down the wrath of an investigation of racism from the UN. The sheer volume of bribes and payoffs will bankrupt you in no time.
What Pat Berry said
That may well perfect
As a former Briton (well, almost – 850 days and counting until naturalization), there’s only one thing I can say to my former countrymen:
“Run! Run, you bloody fools! Get out while you can!”
(And for the love of sanity, don’t go to Canada. Well, okay, if you plan to keep voting for the same kind of leftist idiocy that broke England, then go to Canada. But otherwise…)
If we ever have to say, “President Obama”, I guarantee that this sort of thing will happen here. I bet California will be the one to lead the race in to turning us all in to complying little Muslims.
I know people talk big on blogs and comments but I mean it when I say, if that shit ever happens here, they can kill me first. I will never wear a burkha and I will never bow to some child molesting god.
You know, I’ve been wanting another dog for a really long time. I think, in the near future, I’m going to go get another dog…a black dog, with spots on its eyes. I think I’ll name him/her “Freedom”.
We already have a German Shepherd Pitbull Greyhound Mix called ‘Liberty’ (got her on my husband’s underway in January),and once our anklebitter is born…we’re getting a Cane Corso (google it,they look like Pitbulls but twice the size and more loveable but loyal as all hell.)And he will be named Patton…obviously after one of the greatest generals that ever lived.We’ve got the patriotic doggie names down.
This crap is already happening! That is the blog named Northern Virginistan which covers the Islamic Saudi Academy.Its lease was renewed by Fairfax County,VA.Even though there is NUMEROUS evidence that theyre teaching kids how to chop off hands,and decapitate Infidels.My parents are leading the battle and protesting the school…they protested feet from the front door with signs that said ‘Honk If You Hate Terrorism.’ And who honked and gave thumbs up? Local police…haha.
People think Im joking when they better start gathering their guns…As a tshirt slogan says…’The next war for Independence will be fought with AK-47s’
Its coming and it wont be anyone from NY or Boston this time…I will be caught in the South when this happens.The good ole boys from KY and Alabama havent forgotten 9/11 and have not forgotten about these psychopaths.Or I vote we get a bunch of people from the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) to come to America.Ask the Jews about how great their Muslims neighbors are.
Wachel: You threaten my people with slavery and death…
Liberal Dhimmi: This is blasmphemy! This is madness!
Wachel: Madness? This is Texas!
Yep. I really need to get some sleep…
To sum up many of Winston’s words to Adolph, in a modern context, “I got your sensitivity right here, pal.”
Now, where’d I put that CZ-75 ammo….?
Their sense of smell is supposed to be stronger than a bloodhound’s so its not as far out there as you’d think.
+1 for bomb-sniffing pigs.
looks like someone (all of us) needs to visit the . (can’t do the link to South Park episode, hafta do with a wiki about the real thing)
methinks that may be the problem. They are just too nice!
Sweet baby Jesus, we’re in trouble!
About the Islamic school in Northern Virginiastan: I really can’t believe how taxpayers are allowing this to continue. Are they getting all the facts when it’s time to vote? It just seems like if the people knew what exactly they were paying for, they would put a stop to it pronto.
huh. I just read my link to the Tolerance Museum. Scary place, it sounds like. South Park’s parody of it was not exagerating:
So they use emotionally charged propaganda instead of actual facts. Any chance it was put together by the chair of a political campaign?
UncleSamWifey, I live in Fairfax County. And I’ve never trusted Gerry Connolly, not since he first got into office back in 1998 or 2000 or whenever it was.
As for the ISA– right after 9-11, our church had two ISA reps come and talk to our Adult Ed class about what Islam was really all about. It actually sounded very moderate when they told the story… you and I should talk.
I’d teach my sniffer dog to squat every time I put booties on him. “Hey, I put booties on him, just like you asked. It is too bad about your shag carpeting…”
I think the Brits ought to train sniffing pigs to tackle the task. This is such utter poppycock.
Other corpses seen spinning in their graves:
– Patton
– Eisenhower
– Bradley
– All the men they commanded who never made it back
– All the men they commanded who did make it back
– Mine when I die
Fixed.
This multicultural thing sure is great. Why just yesterday, the Muslims in class were required, as part of religious awareness studies, to say a rosary and take Communion. Of course, class was delayed a little while when the students in question lopped off the head of the teacher and set fire to the school.
Maybe I’m retarded, but the traffic on this multicult street seems to run only one way.
You do know that there are islamofascist training camps in New Yorkistan and Georgia (and about a half-dozen other places) that train their “religious devotees” in firearms and explosives — and the police won’t even go near the places (much less “homeland security”).
The New York News has a great article on what an undercover cop found in numerous mosques in NYC.
Public money is being used to actively teach islamofascism in schools – and to support islamofascist schools – all in the holy name of diversity and multiculturalism — and there is no outcry of rage and disgust. In fact, the government (such as it is) makes hand-wringing excuses for it; and the msm supports it wholeheartedly [not realizing, of course, that they and their “jobs” are for the long jump if the islamonazis ever take over].
People had better wake the hell up and take a long, hard look at what is going on in this country. Instead of laughing at England, or shaking our heads in disgust, we had better start actively opposing groups like CAIR (which is being allowed into government and law enforcement agencies as “cultural sensitivity advisors”). If we don’t, then we can just write to friends in England and ask them for advice on how WE can adapt OUR lives and society to THEIR ways and mores. The time has come to stop this bullshit! Start by writing your representatives and telling them how you feel. Attend city and local council meetings to oppose ANY acquiescence to islamofascism. And start treating these 7th century savages the same way that they treat Americans!! Don’t put up with their bullshit! Demand the same “sensitivity” from them as they demand from Americans.
It is our country — but it won’t be for long unless we actively struggle to keep it. We are in a war right NOW for our own country! FREEDOM ISN’T FREE!!
PS: Love the sniffer pig idea. Make it so!
England, as protrayed by Chip in Animal House:
[being spanked as part of Omega’s initiation]
Thank you, Muhammad! May I have another?
Or as Oliver Twist:
‘Please, Allah,’ replied Oliver, ‘I want some more.’
I call bullshit on this — according to “Muslims are Us” this ruling is true:
These assholes are just bitching to be bitching. Period. This isn’t even about religious tolerance — Muslims, according to their own teachings, can clearly own and interact with service dogs. Sorry to offend, Englishers, but you are asking for the aforementioned butthurting by bowing to this bullshit. Turn their religious teachings right back on them, ah say!
The website Islam-qa[7] addresses a person’s question regarding owning dogs:
So if it doesn’t benefit them economically, then it’s offensive. You know those “EASY” buttons they have on the commercials for Staples? I seriously have one that says “BULLSHIT ALERT — DEFCON 1″ on my desk, and it’s getting a workout today.
Source:
No Muslim child would have ever been made to pray to the Jewish/Christian God. Riots would have ensued. I personally believe that SEVERAL people should lose jobs/be prosecuted for human rights violations on those schoolchildren who were forced to “worship” Allah.
Follow the money. My bet is that there is serious Saudi money making inroads to people with power. Why else would the kowtowing to Muslims be so extreme and supported so high up the chain (so to speak)?
I also wonder at the amount of Saudi (or Muslim) money infesting our news services and colleges. The way the news is skewed, and the multi-culti, pro-Arab/Muslim tilt in education make me believe that it is quite sizable.
There will always be people who can be bought. The trick is to get the information and publicize it as widely as possible.
Also, LOVE the idea of the sniffer pigs! More, please! Faster!
Thanks to political correctness, he appears to be right!
Here we are on the anniversary of the Tube Bombings, and the Brits are doing what, exactly? Capitulating. Again.
Have to wonder if there’s been not a ‘brain drain’, but a ‘resolve drain’ over the last couple of centuries that has simultaneously weakened Europe and helped to maintain a precarious balance here.
Had the kiddies watching the second episode of John Adams last night — they were amazed and yet not amazed to see the struggle between those who wanted to stand up to tyranny, vs those who would appease it. This country only came into existence by the slimmest of chances. It will require only a tiny shift to the side of weakness, appeasement, and accommodation for us to join Europe in the new caliphate.
The Camel is in the tent, humps and all — Europe is humped, England is well on its way, and we’re next!
Here’s something I thought of…could having these kids pray to Allah in class be considered–by at least some crazy Muslims–to be a “conversion” to Islam? Whereupon, if they fail to follow the tenets of the faith from then on, as they almost certainly will, they can then be considered “apostates” and marked for death?
Don’t laugh too hard at this thought. All it would take is one crazy Muslim, or a small group of them, who believes it, and these kids’ lives are in danger.
Which would be yet another reason for me to blow my overloads at the school officials permitting this to happen…and follow it up with a hefty lawsuit.
Maggie has volunteered to be your “sniffer hoghound”:
Excuse me while I kiss my filthy, unclean dog right on his lips.
Three years later — three to the day! —
As a former Briton (well, almost – 850 days and counting until naturalization), there’s only one thing I can say to my former countrymen:
“Run! Run, you bloody fools! Get out while you can!”
While I welcome you here, I can’t help but wonder why Britons should run instead of standing their ground. I’m reminded of :
Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail.
We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France,
we shall fight on the seas and oceans,
we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be,
we shall fight on the beaches,
we shall fight on the landing grounds,
we shall fight in the fields and in the streets,
we shall fight in the hills;
we shall never surrender.
Sad to say, it seems the British people are made of less stern stuff today.
Speaking of Churchill – my all-time favorite Churchill quote (and remarkably apropos):
“If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a small chance of survival. There may even be a worse case: you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.”
I wonder what Rob Farrington thinks about this nonsense … oh, Robert?
[post moved]
JennyR, that is my all time favorite quote from Churchill as well. Thanks for quoting it here.
I know I’ve mentioned it in previous threads, but you guys need to read the speculative fiction short story . It will send ice cubes down your back, guaranteed.
Redhead Infidel,
I think about that Dan Simmons story every so often. These days, I find that the interval between those musings is decreasing at an alarming rate.
I agree, physics geek. I’m thinking about it much more frequently these days. It’s an instructive story. I just re-read it now – again for the nth time – and it never fails to chill me.
And now, a swear I used when I was a kid … “Shheeeyite moslem.”
(imagine a Gomer Pyle voice).
***shudder***
Retrocop has it on the money. And, once again, Mark Steyn has published it in a book named “America Alone.” But, from what I’m seeing, I don’t think it will take too long for it to hit the U.S. We have far too many people willing to give all to Ali BenDover, just to ensure there will be “coexistence” (like the “coexist” bumper sticker).
Well, we know it’s not HONOR, right?
Oops, that should be:
“Shheeeyite mooooslahyumm.”
Phonetical, dontchaknow.
Stand up and fight, Brits! Whatever happened to the English bulldog??? Oh yeah, it was dirty, and offensive to your new masters…
Amen, sister.
Those assholes have a veritable:
of maniacal religiosity self-interest, no?
No bet. There is plenty of evidence of just that. It is they who are financing nearly all the fancy mosques we see going up pretty well everywhere these days. And those same mosques are being used as indoctrination centres for jihad.
You’ve got it in a nutshell:
Today’s Briton is not what he was in the days of Churchill. Sixty years of socialism took the heart right out of the country – only slightly offset by the Thatcher years, which while doing a good and admirable job on fixing the economy, didn’t do much to rebuild the lost social capital – and these last ten years under New Labor have gutted the spirit of the nation. Anyone with any get up and go did, leaving behind a massive, politically and numerically dominant population of underclass proles and cafe commies. (Oh, and there’s the whole thing with the national sovereignty having been sold cheap to the EU, too.)
The way I see it, there’s no country left to save. Oh, I’d save the monuments and the history and the landforms if I could, but I wouldn’t give a bucket of warm piss for most of the people.
I would argue that that is precisely the purpose of socialism. Once the spirit of the people is snuffed out, then the rulers can rule to their hearts’ content. Who is going to stop them?
Socialism is nothing more or less than a return to feudalism. The ruling class gets limousines and private planes, while the “masses” ride bicycles to work.
Rachel, sorry for the link
ho’ingwhoring, but–to quote Bill Paxton in Twister–.IIRC, a similar elementary students’ “pretend you are a Muslim” event occurred about 2007 in California. Sorry, I’m too lazy to google it right now.
I remember thinking at the time, that the “broadening educational” explanations given by the public school staff indicated a profound misunderstanding of both Islamic and Christian belief. To them, it seemed no different from reciting from, say, “Leaves of Grass” instead of “Ozymandias”.
“It’s just *words*, after all, what’s the big deal? You can’t mean people take this belief stuff *seriously*?”
To be fair, I would hazard a guess that the booties are for the protection of the dogs. We cannot have those poor innocent creatures touching a muslim now, can we? :P
