Just before the London bombings, Britain hit bottom
Here’s one of the worst things I’ve heard. It’s been widely written about, but this is the first time I’ve learned of it. But first here’s some background that I found today at Google. In January 2005, Iqbal Sacranie, the head of the Muslim Council of Britain, was promoting along with other Muslim activists and leftist politicians a law to criminalize “incitement to religious hatred.” Journalist Melanie Phillips asked him
whether he thought that any public statements about Islamic terrorism, or any speculation about the number of Muslims in Britain who might support Islamic terrorism, would constitute incitement to religious hatred. He said: ‘There is no such thing as an Islamic terrorist. This is deeply offensive. Saying Muslims are terrorists would be covered by this provision’.That’s pretty shocking, right? But that was just my setup. Here comes the punch line. Are you ready? In June 2005 Iqbal Sacranie was knighted. He’s an out-and-out enemy of Britain, an out-and-out apologist for terrorists, a person who wants to make Britain silent and helpless before terrorists, and he was knighted. Who tells the Queen to do these things? As I said, this is one of the worst things I’ve heard. Curious that it happened just a month before the London bombings. It was as though Britain had gone so far in nihilistic self-abasement that something had to blow. I’m reminded that in spring 2001 I had intimidations of a mass disaster coming to America, as I walked through midtown Manhattan thinking about the degradation of our culture.
