In 1990 “The Muslim Manifesto: A Strategy for Survival” was written to create the Council of British Muslims which was to act “a Muslim parliament”. Hat tip to News By Us for this from Alan Cruba.
Britain’s Muslim Manifesto made it clear that “Political and cultural subservience goes against their grain” because “at its inception Islam created a political platform from which Muslims were to launch themselves on a global role as founders of great states, empires and a world civilization and culture.” According to the UK’s Muslim Manifesto, “The fact is that a Muslim woman cannot be a western woman.” The problem for Muslims in Great Britain was that “There are laws on the British Statute Book that are in direct conflict with the laws of Allah.” “We are Muslims first and last.” “Jihad is a basic requirement of Islam and living in Britain or having British nationality by birth or naturalization does not absolve the Muslim from his or her duty to participate in jihad: this participation can be active service in armed struggle abroad and/or the provision of material and moral support to those engaged in such struggle anywhere in the world.” “Islam is our guide in all situations.”
Is it clear now? It got clearer in the UK on 7/7 2005 “when born-and-bred Muslim British citizens killed some of them in London’s subways and buses.”
Assimilation, according to the Manifesto, wasn’t even an option. Why need it be? By the early 1990s, there were already about 1,000 mosques in Great Britain, many of them former Anglican churches that had been abandoned and sold to Muslims. As is the case of France today, the Manifesto recommended that “The Muslim community may have to define ‘no go’ areas where the exercise of ‘freedom of speech’ against Islam will not be tolerated.”
Caruba gives a warning.
- The next time you want to mock the “fundamentalist” Christians, famed for their patriotism, think again.
- The next time you shrug when you hear your local school system has banned the playing or singing of Christmas carols, think again.
- The next time you are inclined to say or think unkind things about American or Israeli Jews, think again.
- The next time your neighborhood, community or city yields to some new Islamic demand to conform to their “religious” rules, think again.
- The next time you read demands that something not be published or aired in America because it offends Muslim sensibilities, think again.
- The next time anyone tells you that Islam preaches tolerance or peace, think again.
We’ve been warned.

I have to react to the idea of not mocking Fundamentalist Christians at some level beyond simply pointing that everyone gets mocked by our society and we should just accept that some people don't like us or our ideas. It's really no big deal. No one who contributes here is doing so in the hope of winning love from Muslims.
I'm not intolerant of Christianity and Judaism in the West. They are a part of who we are and their ideas will be part of who we will be for at least the next few centuries (if we survive). While leftist thoughtlessness--which is more often Christian than secular--has lead us into great danger, I'm not going to run around embracing rightist fundamentalist Christians as brothers--perhaps as comrades as arms when they act such, but that's about it. To be clear, a comrade in arms is not someone who praises Islam as the Religion of Peace like fundamentalist Christian Surrender Monkey in Chief, George W Bush.
I don't agree that the evil of Islam some way excuses Christian evil. Nor does the fact that Islam is so much worse make Christianity great. Anymore than that Stalin was so evil did not make Tito an angel. Further, though I deeply believe that Islam and the environment are the two greatest threats we face, I'm going to stop ridiculing and mocking fundamentalist Christian beliefs. I may refrain from mocking fundamentalist Christians directly, because fundamentalist Christians are sufficiently diverse that I wouldn't think accurate. I have a inexplicable admiration for Tammy Faye Baker who certainly has been mocked by many a person including a great many fundamentalist Christians. I'm also quite open to dialogue about the Bible with all Christians. I actually enjoy the Bible greatly.
The issue of how much Christianity zealotry is acceptable to me has been an important issue for me recently because I have to vote in the race for Senator from Pennsylvania. I realized that even if Santorum is better on issue related to Islam, I simply can't bring myself to vote for the man. I've been obsessively reading about Santorum hoping that there is some way I could vote for him, but everything I read turns my stomach. He really believes the gay hatred and anti-abortion stuff he spews. He's not just faking it or going along to appease the bigots, like so many Republican Senators. I would have no trouble voting for a insincere Republican senator. And there are those environmental issues.
The fact that we stand together in defense of Western Civilization against Islamist savagery should in no way mean that we surrender our own principles. Comrades in arms is an excellent term. We fight together despite what we think about certain issues because our enemy would deny us the right to think at all. Freedom of thought is at the pinnacle of the hierarchy of values because if we don't have that we are nothing but programmed robots. Perhaps the thing that puts us in the greatest danger is that our people haven't been taught to properly appreciate this. All Americans should instinctively recoil in revulsion from anyone who boasts of being a "slave to" Allah or anything else. But too many still think that is an "inspiring" expression of "faith" and that we are "decadent" for not being blindly "devout" and "pious" in our turn. They forget that our ability to question and refuse to blindly believe is one of our greatest strengths.
Jacob Bronowski, standing in the pond of the Auschwitz prison camp: "Into this pond were flushed the ashes of some four million people. And that was not done by gas. It was done by arrogance. It was done by dogma. It was done by ignorance. When people believe that they have absolute knowledge, with no test in reality, this is how they behave. This is what men do when they aspire to the knowledge of gods." He could have stood on the pile at Ground Zero and spoken the same words. The Islamists believe they share in the omniscience of Allah and that this gives them the right to reduce the rest of us to ashes.
So I am not going to stop being an atheist Objectivist because many of my comrades in arms are Christians. I'm still going to tell them to keep the creche off the Lexington Battle Green, that's a shrine for ALL Americans and what belongs on it is the Flag and the Minuteman. (There are two big churches fronting it, please put the Nativity scenes on their lawns where they belong and look very nice, thank you for your consideration.)
On the other hand, I'm going to be a lot more patient with hearing all those Christmas carols this year. Heck, I'm going to roll down the car windows and sing along. I'd much rather hear "O Come All Ye Faithful" for the 400th time than the "call to prayer" yowled by some muzzein even once.
In all conscience I must add a cry of SHAME and a challenge to Mr. "Culture Warrior" Bill O'Reilly: Go ahead, big mouth. Here's the can opener. Publish the name of every woman in American who has had an abortion and try to get them all prosecuted for "murder". Then see what happens when tens of millions of Americans see their mothers, sisters, daughters, wives and lovers dragged off to jail to await trial. You want to put an abrupt end to this particular pet "crusade" of yours? Take it out of the realm of high-flown rhetoric and let the people see the impact of your beliefs on millions of real, living, functioning, thinking, loved and fully developed human beings. Destroy lives and marriages and families. It would be horrendous but at least it would put a stop once and for all to this cant.
That's me speaking up for my principles, ladies and gents. Now back to the war against those who would deny me the right to do that.
