Don't preach Christianity here: it's a muslim area

This story in today's Daily Mail has truly made my blood boil. A muslim Police Community Support Officer, Naeem Naguthney, stopped two Christian preachers from handing out Bible extracts in Birmingham because they were in a muslim area. He even told them that attempting to convert muslims to Christianity was a hate crime.

Naeem Naguthney is a disgrace to policing. It came as no surprise that this hate-filled abuser of his position was unemployed for 8 months before he secured a job as a PCSO (a job for which he is so evidently unsuited). One has to hope that the West Midlands Police will remove Naguthney from his post pending an enquiry - and that the two Christians he so foully abused will receive an apology.

The very idea that any part of this country is a no-go area for Christians (or indeed for the decent, law-abiding majority) shows quite how far we have sunk in the last 11 years. The cultural apartheid of multiculturalism and the evil creed of political correctness are to blame for the breakdown in relations between the different communities in Britain. There will be many more people in the police like Naguthney. Such fifth columnists whose loyalties lie elsewhere have already permeated and successfully undermined the effectiveness of the Prison Service, the Parole Board, the education system and our universities. Now they are seeking to do the same to the police (before no doubt moving on to our armed forces).

Men such as Naeem Naguthney have no business being in the police form, even as PCSOs. Given his illiberal attitudes, I wonder whether he has any business being in Britain itself. If he hates our pluralist society that much, he's welcome to go off to Saudi Arabia.

Multiculturalism breeds Cultural Apartheid

I'm never usually one to say "I told you so" - but today I will. For nearly twenty years I have warned that immigration was being ignored by politicians and that the only people who would benefit are the vile authoritarian extremists in the BNP.

So you will understand how there is an element of "I told you so" when I read that two-thirds of Britons fear race relations are so poor that tensions are likely to spill over into violence. One-quarter of Britons feel that, because of immigration, "my area doesn't feel like Britain". The great evil of multiculturalism - the creed of cultural apartheid forced on immigrants and the host community alike by our country's liberal elite - has been shown to have failed and is disowned by Trevor Phillips and condemned by David Cameron. 

But will the mainstream political parties finally do what is necessary to help first, second and third-generation immigrants integrate into British society. As the son of an immigrant mother and someone who is married to an immigrant, I am hardly likely to be doctrinally anti-immigration. But like the majority of my fellow citizens, I worry that too many people are being allowed into the country who show little or any desire to integrate into British society. I particularly worry about those who actively disavow British values and who instead wish to force their values on the rest of us. 

If the Tories fail to respond to the very real concerns of voters, another political party will - and that political party is the vile authoritarian British National Party. David Cameron was brave enough to condemn publicly the flawed concept of multiculturalism. Now he needs to show he is brave enough to tackle immigration and its consequences head-on. He can do so in a way that will ensure he is listened to more than another previous Tory leader would have been. 

Muslims & the "call to prayer"

You may recall the mighty row in Oxford concerning the proposed broadcast of the muslim "call to prayer". Locals don't want it but supine Anglican clergy meekly support the plans.

Here's further ammunition for the opponents of the muslims' plans.

This is your fault, Alan Johnson

Thanks to Alan Johnson's failure to beat Harriet Harman for the deputy leadership of the Labour Party, we are stuck with Mrs Dromey wielding power over us mere mortals - and, as Kevin Keegan might say, she's loving it.

Ms Harridan is said to be considering proposals that will allow employers to discriminate in favour of women, ethnic minorities and the disabled and therefore against white, able-bodied men - even if the latter is better qualified for a job.

For how much longer are we to be cursed with the scourge of political correctness?

If we live in a society governed by the rule of law and which is truly, for example, colour blind then why do we still tolerate the pernicious creed of cultural apartheid, more commonly known as multiculturalism. Martin Luther King was right when he said that he longed for the day when people would be judged for the content of their character rather than the colour of their skin.

Yet again Hattie Harman has shown herself to be a divisive figure obsessed by her hatred of white, heterosexual middle-class men. And thanks to Alan Johnson's inept deputy leadership campaign, we're stuck with her until someone has the cojones to challenge her this summer...

King Fahd Academy: One Year On

A little over a year ago, I wrote about the hateful bile taught to children at the King Fahd Academy - a school funded by the Saudi government and which used textbooks describing Jews as "apes" and Christians as "pigs".

Supposedly the then Schools Minister launched an investigation (a New Labour stalling tactic used to great effect and with increasing regularity by our beleaguered Prime Minister). I called for the Charity Commissioners to investigate and Paul Goodman MP subsequently filed a formal complaint.

It now transpires that while the King Fahd Academy shredded 2,000 copies of these textbooks, copies were made first.

A number of questions arise. Having kicked the matter into the long grass last February, what is the status of the Department for Education enquiry announced by the then Minister? What has the Charity Commission discovered? Why is this school even open for business?

I am willing to bet that nothing whatsoever has happened since last February - so now we need the tenacious Mr Goodman to run with this story again.

"White flight": Trevor Phillips speaks

The chairman of the Equality & Human Rights Commission, Trevor Phillips, has endorsed remarks made by the Bishop of Rochester, Dr Michael Nazir-Ali, to warn of the spread of "no-go areas" for non-whites.

Speaking on Today this morning, Phillips said:

"White flight is accelerating, schools are becoming more segregated. I think that the Bishop of Rochester was right to raise this".

No doubt Ken Livingstone and his chums will once again attack Trevor Phillips for saying what so many people feel on the issue of multiculturalism.

On one hand it's great to hear the Bishop and Trevor Phillips raise these concerns - they are long overdue. But on the other hand it's troubling that it is only deemed acceptable for the rest of us to jump into the debate once leftists or ethnic minorities themselves raise the issue.

You STILL think multiculturalism has worked?

Here are more stories that surely highlight the evil wrought on us all by the pernicious doctrine of multiculturalism - forced on all of us, immigrant and indigenous Brit alike, against our will and in defiance of common sense:

Story No. 1: A British dentist who planned to murder UK troops in Afghanistan has been jailed.

Story No. 2: In an act of brazen hypocrisy given his previous demand that women remove their veils in his constituency office, Jack Straw censures a magistrate for refusing to deal with a case in which a muslim woman wore a veil.

Story No. 3: Dozens of private colleges are exposed as fronts for illegal immigration and student visa scams.

Story No. 4: A young girl rebelling against her parents' wishes that she enter into an arranged marriage was found smothered to death months she disappeared.

These are four stories on one day in Britain in 2008. A nation where jihadists roam free to spread hate and to plot violence, where sharia law is increasingly prevalent and where the government has lost control of our borders.

Immigration is back as a key issue: it's an issue the Tories must run with.

No call to prayer in Britain, thank you

Muslim leaders in Oxford have sought permission to have their call to prayer broadcast from their mosque. The two minute call to prayer - derided as a tuneless wail by some in comparison to the charming peal of church bells in English villages - is feared likely to turn the area into a muslim ghetto - and given the remarks today of the Rt Rev Michael Nazir-Ali, the Bishop of Rochester, in which he warned that Islamic extremists have created "no-go" areas across Britain where it is too dangerous for non-muslims to enter, the last thing we need is to have more cultural apartheid in Britain.

The Daily Telegraph reports that elders at Oxford Central Mosque argue that the call to prayer "is part of their tradition".

Well it's not part of ours. If local authorities refuse to listen to the views of local residents - most of whom I will bet won't want the call to prayer broadcast - then what is the point of local democracy?

And until Christians are allowed to practice freely in muslim countries, I don't particularly see why the lives of non-muslims should be blighted by yet another concession to the religious extremists who are hell-bent on turning Britain into a province of the new caliphate where sharia law is the norm and our ancient rights and freedoms are destroyed.

Multiculturalism, cultural apartheid and cultural appeasement have caused untold damage to lives of millions of Britons. Even with warnings from culturally acceptable voices such as Bishop Nazir-Ali or Trevor Phillips, such is the extent to which we have been cowed into submission that we are still only too willing to kow-tow to religious extremism and intolerance. Will we ever learn?

UPDATE: If you do nothing else today, please read two superb posts on the subject by Cranmer here and here.

Ruth Kelly is SO wrong

Today’s Zero is…Ruth Kelly, member of Opus Dei and ineffectual Communities Secretary – and someone used to having egg on her face. Ms Kelly, and Immigration Minister Liam Byrne, have called for a national “Britain Day” to reinforce a sense of citizenship and integration within communities. This initiative comes a day after Tony Blair called for more imams to be trained here in Britain rather than in the likes of Pakistan or Saudi Arabia and only a couple of weeks after Margaret Hodge’s welcome comments recognizing the grievances felt by indigenous communities of all races who are treated less favourably than newly arrived families from overseas.

The idea of a Britain Day as espoused by Ruth Kelly is, however, nonsense. It suggests a system of "earned citizenship", with a points-based system for newcomers to earn the rights of settling in Britain. Incentives could include cash top-ups linked to the Child Trust Fund or reduced tuition fees. My mother didn’t need that when she migrated here in the 1960s from Ireland. If the government stopped kow-towing to the politically correct Guardianistas and recognized that multiculturalism has led to ghettoisation, cultural apartheid and wholesale failure to integrate – particularly among muslims – then we wouldn’t need to have a Britain Day, and certainly not one as lame as the Britain Day proposed by Ruth Kelly.
