British MSM Waking Up?

Frequent commenter Najistani says so and he leaves a link from the London Daily Express as evidence:


"At last a trumpet blast has been sounded against the creeping Islamification of Britain. For too long our ruling elite has been in denial about the consequences of this insidious process, pretending the assertiveness of Muslim culture is just another element in the rich diversity of British society....

Bishop Nazir-Ali is absolutely right. His critics are living in a fantasy world conjured up by their own deceitful clappy-happy rhetoric if they think Britain does not have a problem with the growing strength of Islam in our midst.

The fact is that, in all too many of our cities, Muslim radicalism has led to segregation, oppression of women, criminality and terrorism....

"Islam in Britain could be portrayed as a combination of the outstretched palm of victimhood, begging for official support, and the clenched fist of grievance, threatening violence if demands are not met. All too often the political establishment has surrendered, dressing up its feebleness as multi-cultural sensitivity....

We now have state-funded Muslim schools, housing projects, leisure centre sessions and community groups. Cultural cringe means that every superstitious demand of the radicals, no matter how absurd, is taken seriously by the authorities. So, while elderly people are dying of neglect, nurses are instructed to turn the beds of Muslim patients five times a day towards Mecca....

"The generation that fought the Second World War to protect our nation from foreign occupation must wonder why they bothered as the social landscape of our country is transformed....

There is no more graphic symbol of the change sweeping Britain than the demand from Muslims in Oxford that the city council should give mosques the right to broadcast the call to prayers over loudspeakers at least three times a day. The noisy summons to Muslim prayers smacks of ideological supremacy rather than spiritual concern.

"It is absurd to pretend that Muslim culture is not becoming the dominant force in all too many cities.... What is remarkable is that, in the name of diversity, so-called liberals have promoted the misogynistic authoritarian theocracy they claim to despise.

Christianity helped to build the safe, tolerant society which for generations has attracted migrants fleeing persecution or squalor. Yet now, as Christianity withers, large swathes of our country are starting to replicate the Third World."


Najistani says: No major newspaper would have dared publish this even a year ago. The truth about Islam is getting out. Let us hope that 2008 will be a year of victories for the counter-jihad.

yes, I bought the Express today - rare - and spluttered on my morning coffee at such a good article in a main newspaper. I was going to blog on it but I was beaten to it, I guess I prevaricated too long.

As Wallace, from Wallace and Gromit says, "No use prevaricating about the bush."

Nice to see some truth in the mainstream media for once....shame they are at least 10 years behind the reality of the situation. Our pensioners most def deserve better and as for our WW2 vets....their treatment leaves me utterly utterly disgusted...for me, any one who even lived through WW2 is a vet, let us not forget the war at home! Nice one Najistani!
