Storm Track Infiltration: Dateline UK – The Extinction of Britain

From Mark Steyn in a column at the Wall Street Journal. The real reason the West is in danger of extinction.

Radical Islam is what multiculturalism has been waiting for all along. In "The Survival of Culture," I quoted the eminent British barrister Helena Kennedy, Queen's Counsel.

Shortly after September 11, Baroness Kennedy argued on a BBC show that it was too easy to disparage "Islamic fundamentalists." "We as Western liberals too often are fundamentalist ourselves," she complained. "We don't look at our own fundamentalisms."

Well, said the interviewer, what exactly would those Western liberal fundamentalisms be? "One of the things that we are too ready to insist upon is that we are the tolerant people and that the intolerance is something that belongs to other countries like Islam. And I'm not sure that's true."

Hmm. Lady Kennedy was arguing that our tolerance of our own tolerance is making us intolerant of other people's intolerance, which is intolerable. And, unlikely as it sounds, this has now become the highest, most rarefied form of multiculturalism. So you're nice to gays and the Inuit? Big deal. Anyone can be tolerant of fellows like that, but tolerance of intolerance gives an even more intense frisson of pleasure to the multiculti-masochists.


I’d like to add a few recent examples from Britain showing its tolerance of intolerance to prove its tolerance.

Rea the rest at The Gathering Storm.

I am Intolerant of intolerance .....which is why I am so very, very proud to say that I am Islamaphobic. Lets face it, the religion of peace defines a whole NEW level of intolerance. Being intolerant of the culture of the host nation! It is for this reason that I am so very very disappointed that the liberal agenda would rather bury it's head in the sand than see what is going on around them with an honest objective eye...and say...'OK we have a problem here...'
