MOSQUE COSTS RUB SALT IN TAXPAYER'S "WOUNDS"

Talk about adding insult to injury!!! After more than 23,000 people signed a petition in opposition to the building of mosque in Dudley, taxpayer now get to pay $200,000 (100,000 pounds) for the hearing & other costs that were needed for the Dudley Council to vote to overturn their original decision to ban the mosque.

Clearly the inspector, who ruled on the matter, doesn't believe in listening to the citizens of Britain but prefers to pander to muslims and build yet another mosquetrosity - he is another example of a dictatorial NuLabour minion who is (purposely) out of touch with the British people (in addition to being a pompous wanker).

There is a small glimmer of hope that the mosque - with its Christianity domineering 65' minaret that will undoubtedly blast the 5 times a day "screech to prayer" - will not be built as there is some question that the building must be completed by year's end - which is extremely unlikely.  But, you can count on groups of whinging muslims shouting "Islamophobia" and "racism" seeking said term be extended and that the city dhimmis will comply.

It is high time for British citizens to vote for politicians who will not only listen to and act upon the wishes of the British people but also - when required -appoint others to do so.  "Democracy be damned" NuLabour is clearly out to decimate the indigenous non-muslim British population and place us/them in a permanent position of submission to Islam. These quislings need to GO!

Mosque inquiry will cost taxpayers £100k

Taxpayers will pick up a £100,000 bill for the planning inquiry which resurrected plans for a Black Country mosque, it has been revealed.

The cost of the four-day hearing will be met by Dudley Council after the Government’s planning inspectorate overturned its decision to reject the £18 million proposal.

The authority was forced to hire security staff to police the summit at the inspector’s request - but will not receive a penny from Whitehall to cover costs.

The decision to allow the appeal for the project in Hall Street, Dudley, was this week announced after the public inquiry in June.

Dudley Council boss David Caunt described the decision as a “sad day” for local democracy saying it ignored the 22,000 people who signed a petition in opposition.

And Councillor Caunt said that the £100,000 bill rubbed salt in the wound.

“I’m very frustrated that a one man government-appointed judge and jury can turn up, listen to the arguments for four days and drive around the borough before coming to the conclusion that he knows better than the locals. The councillor added: “And then we have to pick up the bill for it.

“The security was requested by the inspector himself, but we have to pay,” he went on to say.

The council chief warned the price of the inquiry could even run over the authority’s initial £100,000 estimate because of the tight security measures.

Work on the mosque, featuring a 65-feet minaret, could start before Christmas. However the plans could yet be scuppered by a land-swap deal which states that the building must be “substantially” built by the end of the year.

Dudley Muslim Association now has outline planning permission for the scheme, but still needs to submit a detailed application which the council has up to 13 weeks to determine.

When the site was transferred to the association in 2003 there was a legal agreement that if the project was not “substantially” completed by the end of this year the land would be returned to the council. Muslim leaders have called for an extension to the deadline.

Mushtaq Hussain, secretary of Dudley Muslim Association, said: “We always maintained the condition was subject to us getting planning permission and having a reasonable and realistic time to get the project completed.”

2 ENGLISH SCHOOLBOYS PUNISHED FOR NOT KNEELING & PRAYING TO ALLAH

One cannot open any hard copy newspaper or internet news site today without the blazing headling stating "BRITISH MUSLIMS FEEL LIKE THE JEWS OF EUROPE". Now anyone who reads TheOPINIONATOR or any of the MANY other blogs and websites that have chronicled what can only be described as the mass immigration/colonisation of Great Britain by muslims knows with great certainty that the exact opposite is occuring. We highlight the daily pandering and dhimmi behaviour shown to muslims by British government, police and other authorities thus this jawdropping headline is nothing more than claptrap used to abet the continuation of the muslim initiated exaggerated claims of victimisation and the myth of Islamophobia. For as long as muslims can be percieved as victims the longer they can reap the rewards of being seen as the "downtrodden"  and the subsequent sympathies of the multicultural gulping, heritage loathing European/British liberals. In turn, Muslims have used victimisation and "hurt feelings" as a shield to implement their culture and Sharia Law into Britain.

This brings me to a far more egregious example of the so called "victims"- who of course are not the muslims at all - but the children of Great Britain who are systematically being deprived of their heritage, being made to feel guilty for the heritage OR having muslim customs forced upon them. In this latest case - two schoolboys received punishment for not submitting to demands -BY THEIR TEACHER - that they dress up as muslims bow down and worship Allah- in Arabic - in their school classroom.

"Two schoolboys were given detention after refusing to kneel down and 'pray to Allah' during a religious education lesson.Parents were outraged that the two boys from year seven (11 to 12-year-olds) were punished for not wanting to take part in the practical demonstration of how Allah is worshipped.They said forcing their children to take part in the exercise at Alsager High School, near Stoke-on-Trent - which included wearing Muslim headgear - was a breach of their human rights."

This brainwashing by the teacher (notice how the principal pleads ignorance)should cause more than just outrage - it should cause fear to grip the hearts of every true British man and woman as to how far their "leaders" are willing to go to sacrifice the thousands year old culture and customs of Great Britain on the altar of multiculturalism in order to muslmise the country and appease the muslim population. For that is EXACTLY what is happening.

The real victims are are our children and every single one of us is guilty of allowing their minds to be warped into believing that British pride is wrong and that other imported cultures are not just equal to(that was never the goal of multiculturalism) but superior to Britain. In every country where multiculturalism has taken hold the indigenous people and culture has suffered. Thus multiculturaliam has opened the British and European door to Islamic domination. Islam does not reciprocate as one mother noted:

"But if Muslims were asked to go to church on Sunday and take Holy Communion there would be war."

She's right. Now we must ask ourselves - just what will it take for us to say NO to the stealth implementation of Islam/Sharia Law and the consequential deterioration of our Western culture?

Will we allow our children to be punished for NOT bowing to Islam?

Schoolboys punished with detention for refusing to kneel in class and pray to Allah

By Daily Mail Reporter
Last updated at 11:30 AM on 04th July 2008

Two schoolboys were given detention after refusing to kneel down and 'pray to Allah' during a religious education lesson.

Parents were outraged that the two boys from year seven (11 to 12-year-olds) were punished for not wanting to take part in the practical demonstration of how Allah is worshipped.

They said forcing their children to take part in the exercise at Alsager High School, near Stoke-on-Trent - which included wearing Muslim headgear - was a breach of their human rights.

Alsager School, near Stoke, has received furious complaints from parents after two Year 7 boys were punished for refusing to kneel to Allah during a religious studies class

One parent, Sharon Luinen, said: "This isn't right, it's taking things too far.

"I understand that they have to learn about other religions. I can live with that but it is taking it a step too far to be punished because they wouldn't join in Muslim prayer.

"Making them pray to Allah, who isn't who they worship, is wrong and what got me is that they were told they were being disrespectful.

"I don't want this to look as if I have a problem with the school because I am generally very happy with it."

Another parent Karen Williams said: "I am absolutely furious my daughter was made to take part in it and I don't find it acceptable.

"I haven't got a problem with them teaching my child other religions and a small amount of information doesn't do any harm.

"But not only did they have to pray, the teacher had gone into the class and made them watch a short film and then said 'we are now going out to pray to Allah'.

"Then two boys got detention and all the other children missed their refreshment break because of the teacher.

"Not only was it forced upon them, my daughter was told off for not doing it right.

"They'd never done it before and they were supposed to do it in another language."

"My child has been forced to pray to Allah in a school lesson." The grandfather of one of the pupils in the class said: "It's absolutely disgusting, there's no other way of putting it.

"My daughter and a lot of other mothers are furious about their children being made to kneel on the floor and pray to Islam. If they didn't do it they were given detention.

"I am not racist, I've been friendly with an Indian for 30 years. I've also been to a Muslim wedding where it was explained to me that alcohol would not be served and I respected that.

"But if Muslims were asked to go to church on Sunday and take Holy Communion there would be war."

Parents said that their children were made to bend down on their knees on prayer mats which the RE teacher had got out of her cupboard and they were also told to wear Islamic headgear during the lesson on Tuesday afternoon.

Deputy headmaster Keith Plant said: "It's difficult to know at the moment whether this was part of the curriculum or not. I am not an RE teacher, I am an English teacher.

"At the moment it is our enterprise week and many of our members of staff are away.

"The particular member of staff you need to speak to isn't around. I think that it is a shame that so many parents have got in touch with the Press before coming to me.

"I have spoken to the teacher and she has articulately given me her version of events, but that is all I can give you at the moment."

A statement from Cheshire County Council on behalf of the school read: "The headteacher David Black contacted this authority immediately complaints were received.

"Enquiries are being made into the circumstances as a matter of urgency and all parents will be informed accordingly.

"Educating children in the beliefs of different faith is part of the diversity curriculum on the basis that knowledge is essential to understanding.

"We accept that such teaching is to be conducted with some sense of sensitivity."

ANOTHER CASE OF THE TAIL WAGGING THE DOG

Undoubtedly I am far from the only one who is absoutely SICK & TIRED of the muslim minority, in the UK, thinking that every bit of their culture should be implemented in Great Britain with NO regard to the thousands year old culture that the British people themselves have achieved and lived for millenia. (We could take this worldwide - but that is for a future blog) Let's face it - no one dragged these muslims, kicking and screaming into the UK. No one is forcing them to stay. Even more sickening is the British police and government who (for what appears to be on a daily basis) twist and turn themselves into apologetic dhimmi pretzels (let's emphasize that to DHIMMI PRETZELS) trying to appease bleating, whining and constantly "offended" muslims - offended by the same culture that THEY have chosen avail themselves - the same country that provides so many of those generous financial and physical benefits.  This isn't just insidious multiculturalism -  this is British cultural apartheid.

The muslim daily whinge and moan today - is none other than a picture of an adorable puppy sitting inside a police hat to advertise a new police non-emergency phone number. (I have written extensively about muslims & dogs - to read a few go here and here.) You would think, based on the muslim indignation, granted it is far short of that shown regarding the Danish MO-Cartoons or the Teddy Bear Teacher, but nevertheless defiant in its demands that the puppy poster not be used and vowing that, regardless of its importance, it will not be displayed in muslim businesses, etc.

Of course, based on past acrobatics used by politicians and police to instantly react to publicly appease the muslim community - local Dundee councillor Mohammed Asif immediatly contacted Tayside Police Chief Constable John Vine to discuss the "offence".  Asif said: 'My concern was that it's not welcomed by all communities, with the dog on the cards. It was probably a waste of resources going to these communities....'People who have shops just won't put up the postcard. Apparently the "expected" apologetic statement, from the Chief Constable came forthwith: 'This was an oversight and did not seek to offend or upset.'

Oversight? Why is it that the muslims think that every niche and cranny of British life, culture, mores, etc must first be approved by muslims? (Is it because the constant drumbeat of government and police appeasement?) Yet when it comes to muslims and the stealth implementation of Sharia Law into the UK or its customs -some of which are untenable and barbaric -- the British people (and everyone else) are immediately labeled as Islamophobic if great respect and subservience is not immediately shown. This is exactly what muslims want, expect and unfortunately have so far succeeded in establishing not only in the UK but most of Europe.

I'd like to think that the "Puppy Incident" will help to wake up the nation that has always loved it's dogs. In fact a huge number of dog breeds originated in the British Isles - more than anywhere else in the world.  Are we going to let the Islamic spurred hatred and disgust of our cherished "best friends" dictate to us? It is time to stop letting the tail wag the dog - and high time for the dog to start biting back-

WHAT DO YOU FIND OFFENSIVE?

MUSLIMS OUTRAGED AT POLICE ADVERT FEATURING CUTE PUPPY SITTING IN A POLICEMAN'S HAT

A postcard featuring a cute puppy sitting in a policeman's hat advertising a Scottish police force's new telephone number has sparked outrage from Muslims.   

Tayside Police's new non-emergency phone number has prompted complaints from members of the Islamic community.

The choice of image on the Tayside Police cards - a black dog sitting in a police officer's hat - has now been raised with Chief Constable John Vine.

The advert has upset Muslims because dogs are considered ritually unclean and has sparked such anger that some shopkeepers in Dundee have refused to display the advert.

Dundee councillor Mohammed Asif said: 'My concern was that it's not welcomed by all communities, with the dog on the cards.

'It was probably a waste of resources going to these communities.

'They (the police) should have understood. Since then, the police have explained that it was an oversight on their part, and that if they'd seen it was going to cause upset they wouldn't have done it.' 

Councillor Asif, who is a member of the Tayside Joint Police Board, said that the force had a diversity adviser and was generally very aware of such issues.

He raised the matter with Mr Vine at a meeting of the board.   

Tayside Police Chief Constable John Vine said the advert was not intended to cause any offence

The chief constable said he was unaware of the concerns and that the force had not sought to cause any upset but added he would look into the matter.

Councillor Asif said: 'People who have shops just won't put up the postcard. But the police have said to me that it was simply an oversight and they did not seek to offend or upset.'

Cards featuring police dog-in-training Rebel have been distributed to communities throughout the area to advertise the single number point of contact for non-emergency calls to the police.

Rebel has proved a popular recruit for Tayside Police after coming through the very first Lothian and Borders Police dog-breeding programme in February.   

One of seven German Shepherd pups born in early December, he has now completed his course of inoculations, and is free to venture out onto the streets of Tayside.

A spokesman for Tayside Police said: 'Trainee police dog Rebel has proved extremely popular with children and adults since being introduced to the public, aged six weeks old, as Tayside Police's newest canine recruit.

'His incredible world-wide popularity - he has attracted record visitor numbers to our website - led us to believe Rebel could play a starring role in the promotion of our non-emergency number.

'We did not seek advice from the force's diversity adviser prior to publishing and distributing the postcards. That was an oversight and we apologise for any offence caused.'

ST GEORGE'S DAY PARADE AXED FOR SECOND TIME

It should come as no surprise that after previously dashing months of preparation and disappointing hundreds of local children and adults who had prepared to be in the "first" planned St George's Day Parade, axed last April by the city council- that the post-dated parade has also been cancelled. The first parade, scheduled to appropriately occur on St George's Day, was stopped by hugely suspicious "official" excuses of "health and safety" concerns when in actuality it was concern for the muslim community that was placed at a higher priority, by Bradford city officials, than the traditional English parade.  But an even more precise reason was soon apparent = muslim violence = " because the authorities fear it could spark race riots...... council bosses in Bradford, West Yorks, have ditched the event over concerns it could upset the Asian community, many of them Muslim."

I wrote about this travesty - you can read it here: UK ST GEORGE PARADE SCRAPPED

So why is the 2nd promised post-dated parade now defunct? According to the article:

"The announcement was met with anger and disbelief, and in a bid to pour oil over troubled waters an alternate date of July 1 was proposed. Now this second choice has also been pulled.

Vicar of Girlington, Reverend Tony Tooby, said: “They told us they were going to hold it on July 1 instead, but they have cancelled that.

“I thought they would cancel it, they just held it out as an olive branch to try and shut us up. The reality is the support for the event had gone because the sponsors lost interest.”

Guess the "powers that be" think that having a St. George's Day Parade on a date other than St. George's Day is rather silly - but wasn't that the point of moving the date -to begin with? Regardless of the latest faux reason yet another show of English pride has been banned from the streets of Great Britain. Guess dhimmi officials feel far safer with the March for Mohammed.

Notice how latest story has "rewritten history" - go to NOW SECOND PARADE IS ABANDONED

MUSLIMS OFFENDED BY SNIFFER DOGS

Looks like we now have another item to add to our ever growing LONG list of THINGS THAT OFFEND MUSLIMS.

Muslims, in Great Britain, are complaining that police "sniffer" dogs - used to detect bombs, drugs and.....terrorists are against Islam. That these valued members of the police and military - who undoubtedly have saved thousands of lives through their training - are considered "dirty" by muslims. (Let's not profile here but just who have been the terrorists of late?) So these "British" muslims do not want these filthy police dogs sniffing their sacred muslim robes. Yes - NO touching of muslims by dogs is the demand. Of course to abide by this demand would adversely affect the highly trained dogs from doing their jobs. Muslims say dogs sniffing their luggage is fine but absolutely no smelling the muslim passengers/people.

But it would appear that muslims have a habit of "picking and choosing" just what "unclean" dogs they will or won't let defile their muslim bodies (& cars). For instance, service dogs used as guides for the blind and many other life saving reasons - are too unclean to sit in muslim taxis - in fact muslim taxi drivers have been know to leave blind passengers stranded because they had a guide dog. At least, for now in the UK, disability seems to trump muslims distaste for service dogs and the law has been changed accordingly.

Whereas helpful dogs seem haram to muslims -the heinous act of dogfighting  has become rampant in England - with the majority of perpetrators being muslim. Helpless dogs, often puppies, have been seized upon by vile dogfighting muslim groups and raised to be forced into excessive breeding, fighting and eventual death. Clearly these despicable, barbaric acts involve muslims touching their four legged victims - but apparently it is OK to touch dogs as long as the dogs are being tortured, maimed and killed - all for "sport".  Says alot doesn't it? For recent instances of muslim individuals and group involvement in dogfighting go here  and here  and here.

Of course - to add to what is obviously a confusing relationship of muslims and dogs we also had the recent example of a dead dog being worth 15 child brides. Does this tell us that muslim little girls are even lower, on the muslim caste scale, than dogs? I'll leave the answer to that question up to the reader.

Getting back to muslims considering themselves "no sniff" zones when it comes to police dogs, I agree with the critics who say this is yet another example of muslims using their religion to force Islam into British laws and culture. Let's hope that the often softheaded dhimmi British judges, who will likely be called upon to rule on some future lawsuit regarding this issue, agree with Tory MP Philip Davies:

“As far as I am concerned, everyone should be treated equally in the face of the law and we cannot have people of different religious groups laying the law down. I hope the police will go about their business as they would do normally.”

SNIFFER DOGS OFFEND MUSLIMS

POLICE sniffer dogs trained to spot terrorists at railway stations may no longer come into contact with Muslim passengers – after complaints that it is against the suspects’ religion.

A report for the Transport Department has raised the prospect that the animals should only touch passengers’ luggage because it is considered “more acceptable”.

In the Muslim faith, dogs are deemed to be spiritually “unclean”. But banning them from touching passengers would severely restrict their ability to do their job.

The report follows trials of station security measures in the wake of the 2005 London suicide bomb attacks. In one trial, some female Muslims said the use of a body scanner was also unacceptable because it was tantamount to being forced to strip.

British Transport Police last night insisted it would still use sniffer dogs – which are trained to detect explosives – with any passengers regardless of faith, but handlers would remain aware of “cultural sensitivities”.

Critics said the complaints were just the latest example of minority religions trying to force their rules and morals on British society.

Tory MP Philip Davies said: “As far as I am concerned, everyone should be treated equally in the face of the law and we cannot have people of different religious groups laying the law down. I hope the police will go about their business as they would do normally.”

News of the security setback came as the Government yesterday admitted that installing 100 per cent airport-style screening at rail and Tube stations was “not feasible”.

ISLAM & THE MYTH OF MULTICULTURALISM

Clearly the European Union and more specifically the UK government have for decades proceeded on a course of social engineering and indigenous cultural suicide through multiculturalism. This has been done through no democratic vote of the British people but by the stealth elitists changing laws, discouraging British ethic pride,  encouraging rampant immigration into and across UK/European countries and by embellishing the immigrant cultures. Also used as a tool is vehemently enforced political correctness which greatly punishes anyone who voices or writes their disagreement with multiculturalism OR expressed overt pride in their British history and culture. The anti-thesis of multiculturalism is moral, religous and cultural solidarity.

It is hard to say if multiculturalism is the tool that has caused the imposition of the muslim culture on the British people OR if the proponents of Islam played a major role in the root cause or impetus of and behind the derisive multiculturalism - regardless the end effect has often proven deleterious to the British people and culture. One only has to read their daily newspaper to see constant changes in British society to embrace - in fact - to embellish the muslim culture over that of the British heritage. Yet, though said with bold "forked tongue" the UK politicians still tell us that they want enculturation or assimilation of the muslim population into the Western world. They spout rhetoric telling us that second and third generations will become more British and less "muslim" citing "Britishness" is to be re-emphasized to fit the Nu Great Britain. Yet the exact opposite is occurring.  Islam refuses to change and its youth often face death for turning to western ways. The government in turn have chosen to act more like dhimmis.

Now comes yet another of what is really going on in the muslim community. Muslims imams are adding roadblocks to the westernization of muslim women. These women are now being told that they must NOT marry non-muslim Western men. Obviously the imams want to keep their women for muslim-only procreation and thus the progeny of these marriages will remain under the control of Islam and Sharia law not western/British governments. Yet another fact showing us that what is occurring in Great Britain and Europe is muslim colonization NOT the assimilation of the rapidly growing muslim population.

ISLAM SET TO E-X-P-A-N-D IN OLDHAM ENGLAND

More evidence that muslims are quickly increasing in numbers throughout the UK.  Will every English town and city soon have a "pavilion in the park" replete with minaret for the 5 times a day - screech to prayer?

Let's remember that just two months ago a long planned and awaited show of English pride - the St George's Day Parade was cancelled in Oldham due to highly questionable and subjective "health and safety" concerns.

Perhaps instead of spending money on a showy, palatial mosque the local muslim leaders would be better off using the money to oppose forced marriage - suspected as the reason that 36 young "Asian" students have gone missing and is considered to be a "crisis".  Or, to help with community cohesion to combat muslim gang violence. Or, to educate against and prevent young muslim Pakistani men from sexually abusing vulnerable young British girls (some of the girls being as young as 12). Or, to stop the escalating muslim against white British violence - the most recent attack occurring only a few days ago.

There appears to be many ways the Oldham muslims could better "serve the local community"  the least of which is a larger mosque.

A pavilion in a park: The 21st century mosque

by Ruhubia Akbor
11/ 6/2008

THIS is how Werneth’s proposed mosque and Islamic centre could look.

A series of artist’s impressions were unveiled when an amended plans for the building were submitted to Oldham Council.

Werneth Jamia Masjid, part of the Ummah Welfare Trust, says it has outgrown its current premises on Manchester Road and wants to expand into a new building on adjoining land.

Previous plans were deferred for further discussions as the building was deemed to be too big. The new proposals take into consideration planning officer’s concerns.

Altaf Raja, vice president at the mosque, said: "The old mosque has been there since 1977/78 and we have never had any problems with our neighbours.

"We serve the local community as a whole and have outgrown our current building. We’re hoping to get approval as we’ve consulted with planning officers and they've agreed to our plans in principle. After two or three meetings with planners, the size of the building is now smaller and the design has completely changed. The location has also moved slightly as we wanted some more open space."

The design and access statement submitted to the council describes the building as "a contemporary, refined and elegant building, set well back from the road – as a pavilion in a park. The external language draws inspiration from Islamic geometrical principles but set within a contemporary style while being respectful of its context."

The traditional minaret has been incorporated into a sculptural feature wall and the dome is only over the front portion of the building. The capacity of the main prayer hall has been reduced from 1,000 worshippers to 650 and a number of community facilities will be provided.

Mr Raja said: "It’s far more than just a mosque. The building will be multi-purpose providing facilities for men, women, children and non-muslims. What’s the point in leaving this open space which is not utilised and is in a mess? A few people use this land to cut through but we’re going to include open space within the design. The main intention behind it is that everyone will suffer if the youth go bad. This will keep them off the streets in a nice facility under the supervision of responsible people. In the old building we had weight lifting gear and pool table, now there will be room for a lounge, reading rooms, meeting rooms, teaching rooms, prayer facilities, internet access and library."

The plans can be viewed at www.oldham.gov.uk

REPORT FINDS BRITISH GOVERNMENT DISCRIMINATES AGAINST CHRISTIANITY

It will come as no surprise to my readers that a recent report by the Church of England has found that the Labour government has blatently discriminated against Christianity in Great Britain.  Recently I wrote about two Christian preachers  who were threatened, by police, with "hate crime" charges for preaching in a muslim neighborhood.

The report also states the Gordon Brown's NuLabour Government lacks a moral vision for the country plus the decline of Christian values is destroying the British culture and has left a "moral vacuum" for radical Islam to fill:

"...the Rt Rev Michael Nazir-Ali, (stated) last week that the decline of Christian values is destroying Britishness and has created a "moral vacuum" which radical Islam is filling.

- and "British Islam", as it is referred to below, is the focus:

"We were told that while capacity studies had been undertaken by Government with regard to British Islam, similar studies had not been carried out for any of the UK's largest faith communities. If what we were told is correct, the churches simply do not register on the policy-making radar in serious terms. The Government has focused so intensely on minority faiths that it has failed to develop a coherent evidence base for the largest religious body in the UK, the Christian church."

Clearly all of the Labour governments focus, energy and money has been spent on pandering to Islam in every venue. Most will not doubt that the lack of respect for and the decline of Christianity has led to the throngs of social and moral ills that now pervade Great Britain.(see here and here and here  and here for just a few examples)

Thus, while the British government has opened its borders wide to unmitigated mass immigration from primarily Islamic countries at the same time it has slammed the door shut on the Church of England and Christianity - to the detriment of the Country.

15 MUSLIM CHILD BRIDES USED AS PAYMENT FOR DEATH OF DOG

How many times has the Western World been chastised, denounced as Islamophobic and threatened by muslims, for saying that the muslim religion is "soft on pedophilia"? If this taboo subject, abhorred by ALL Western nations, has no place in Islam then why are little girls - ages between 3 - 10 years old - considered old enough to be bartered (for a dead dog) as marriageable =  brides??

Whereas it is commendable that some government officials, in Pakistan, are voicing their outrage-- the origination of the source of the mindset that foments much of the muslim population to consider the use of little girls (referred to in article as "ladies") as chattel capable of performing "wifely" duties - though "unspeakable" is clear.

entire article - emphasis mine

15 CHILD BRIDES USED TO SETTLE PAKISTAN FEUD

• Declan Walsh in Islamabad
• The Guardian,
• Thursday June 5 2008
• Article history

It started with a dead dog, escalated into a tit-for-tat tribal war, and has now reached a grotesque climax with the exchange of 15 child brides.

Pakistani human rights activists are outraged at reports that a long-running blood feud in a remote corner of western Baluchistan province has been resolved by the handing over of 15 girls, aged between three and 10, for marriage.

"There has to be action," said Asma Jahangir, a leading rights campaigner. "These people who force others to sell their daughters must be sent to prison."

The new government in Islamabad, led by the party of the late Benazir Bhutto, has promised to act. "We will not allow young girls to be traded like this," said the information minister, Sherry Rehman. "The culprits who tried to do this will be arrested. The orders have been given."

But Jahangir said those orders had not been acted upon. "There is a dysfunction in the whole system. They are not listening to the government," she said. "We need to see them being more effective than just rhetoric."

Vanni, an ancient tribal practice in which feuding clans settle their differences by exchanging women for marriage, is illegal in Pakistan. In 2004 the Sindh high court outlawed all such "parallel justice" systems. But the writ of government is weak in rural areas, and local police often turn a blind eye.

The current controversy started with a row over a dog, said Muhammad Paryal Marri, a researcher in northern Sindh for the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan.

A dog owned by one tribe, the Chakranis, was shot dead because it strayed too close to a well controlled by their rivals, the Qalandaris. In revenge the Chakranis shot a donkey belonging to the other side. A ferocious bout of tit-for-tat killings ensued in which 19 people, including five women, were killed.

The fighting ended in 2002 when Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti - a rebellious tribal chieftain who was later killed by the Pakistan army - brought the two sides together. Bugti ordered the Chakranis to hand over 15 child brides in compensation; at a jirga, or tribal council. Last Friday they finally agreed to make good on that promise, said Marri.

"They agreed to pay some money and exchange the ladies," he said.

Such brutal traditions have only come to light for a broader public in the past decade, thanks to activism by human rights groups and publicity from local media.

"Barbarity in the name of tradition," declared the English-langauge newspaper Dawn earlier this week in a scathing editorial against the "medieval mindset that dominates many sections of our society".

But, despite previous shows of similar anger, official action has lagged far behind. "The government is unwilling to use its authority to protect women. It will find any excuse," said Jahangir.

CHRISTIAN PREACHERS THREATENED WITH "HATE CRIME" ARREST FOR PREACHING IN UK MUSLIM NEIGHBORHOOD

Here is an outrageous example of the depths of dhimmitude that pervades much of the UK and particularly Birmingham, England. Two Christian evanglelist preachers have been banned from handing out Christian pamphlets in a muslim area of Birmingham. In fact, they have been threatened, by a police officer, with arrest for committing a "hate crime" if they return to the area.  A hate crime for distributing Christian literature???

"He said we were in a Muslim area and were not allowed to spread our Christian message. He said we were committing a hate crime by telling the youths to leave Islam and said that he was going to take us to the police station."

The officer further went on to tell the men if they returned and got beaten - it was their own fault:

"The ministers claim he also advised them not to return to the area. As he walked away, the PCSO said: "You have been warned. If you come back here and get beaten up, well you have been warned".

How ironic that as UK Schools Secretary, Ed Balls, wants to implement a program that would have imams and muslim clerics enter into all British schools to teach so that pupils would learn about the Koran and Islam in the context of a multicultural society. Thus across the country ALL British children will be given instruction about Islam.

Yet - Christians are being threatened with arrest for "hate crimes" and jailtime for discussing and professing their religion. Further proof that the no-go areas, in the UK , are muslim only enclaves protected against non muslims by the British police.

(As an aside - the religious demographics of Birmingham England show that Christians are still in the majority with 59.1% of the population whereas muslims are 14.9%. Clearly muslims are given preferential treatment)

Christian preachers face arrest in Birmingham

by David Harrison

A police community support officer ordered two Christian preachers to stop handing out gospel leaflets in a predominantly Muslim area of Birmingham.

Arthur Cunningham, 48, and Joseph Abraham, 65, both full-time evangelical ministers, have launched legal action against West Midlands Police, claiming the officer infringed their right to profess their religion.

Mr Abraham said: "I couldn't believe this was happening in Britain. The Bishop of Rochester was criticised by the Church of England recently when he said there were no-go areas in Britain but he was right; there are certainly no-go areas for Christians who want to share the gospel."

Last night, Christian campaigners described the officer's behaviour as "deeply alarming".

The preachers, both ministers in Birmingham, were handing out leaflets on Alum Rock Road in February when they started talking to four Asian youths.

A police community support officer (PCSO) interrupted the conversation and began questioning the ministers about their beliefs.

They said when the officer realised they were American, although both have lived in Britain for many years, he launched a tirade against President Bush and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Mr Cunningham said: "I told him that this had nothing to do with the gospel we were preaching but he became very aggressive.

"He said we were in a Muslim area and were not allowed to spread our Christian message. He said we were committing a hate crime by telling the youths to leave Islam and said that he was going to take us to the police station."

The preacher refused to give the PCSO his address because he felt the officer's manner was "threatening and intimidating".

The ministers claim he also advised them not to return to the area. As he walked away, the PCSO said: "You have been warned. If you come back here and get beaten up, well you have been warned".

West Midlands Police, who refused to apologise, said the incident had been "fully investigated" and the officer would be given training in understanding hate crime and communication.
