Of course we are now waiting with bated breath to hear who the police has arrested following the "disturbances" in Birmingham over the weekend. We know how many so far: 35. No names.
After the Danish Embassy protests a few years ago when a small army of "British" muslims and "asylum seekers" were chanting for beheadings, rivers of blood and a rain of bombs to fall on London, the police didnt arrest a soul on that occasion . So Birmingham must have been quite a protest. Right?

How curious that there are communities within the community as a whole.
I had assumed (but then I am not a progressive socialist, so I wouldn't know) that the word community referred to something that is common to all. Communal, I guessed. A common purpose, though I am told it is from the Latin 'communitas' suggesting a fellowship.
But the fact there are separate communities that must be addressed specially (and carefully, in case they roar into flames at the very idea they need to be looked at, other than in being given large handouts of infidel money) and a community that must be preserved as a distinct, separate whole is, frankly, disturbing.
We have a law of the land, complete with a judicial system, a parliament (albeit currently holding a crop of corrupted self-servers) a monarch and, once, a way of life in which the community of citizens was equally served.
But now we have communities who disagree with the communal whole, and therefore need to be addressed separately. Given special privileges lest they cry foul; a religion that seeks division yet screams "racist!" when there is no race involved. We are scared they may be even more incited to kill innocents, so they must be soothed and placated.
But then the socialists and social-engineers will turn on the majority and say it is us at fault: we are not conforming to this new world, that we mistakenly cling to an outmoded idea.
So we have no fellowship now, because some fellows believe their fellows (no matter how bloodthirsty or unreasonable) in other places are always right no matter what harm they do, how many they kill because their deity demands it but can't manage it on His own, how many schoolgirls must have acid in their faces for daring to learn, how many briefly-free women must die to save "honour"
So here the communities must be distinct and whole and preserved, even if it is the fault of those of us who thought – stupidly and ignorantly, we now discover – our "leaders" would see what we do; that the fellowship of one community was what we most need.
And thanks to our preening, pompous and ignorant elected ones, will never have again.

Click on the video to the right. It is from the 2008 Global Peace and Unity Conference and features a Labour Muslim MP crowing about Islam's success peppered with "inshallahs". This was supressed, but has now become available. You have some predators in your parliament

"Prevent".
It sounds like it ought to be the name of a brand of condom.
In Terry Pratchett's early Discworld novel, 'Equal Rites', there is a witch who explains that there would be many a family bigger - and poorer - were it not for "Madame Goatfounder's Pennyroyal Preventatives".
Joking aside: I wonders, oh I wonders what would happen if, the very next time Muslims in the UK were caught plotting jihad, the government were to calmly and coldly *reduce* by at least half the amount of aid given to the Muslim country associated with said Muslims (if of foreign birth or ancestry) and also *reduce* the amount of money thrown at this or that Muslim 'community organisation'? And let it be known that the next such plot that is discovered, or worse, achieved, will result in the complete cessation of all aid to every Muslim country, and the cessation of funding to all Muslim NGOs within Britain. Just like that.

Very true. And yes, I agree, no more jizyah.
