“Islamist terrorism is where people tend to begin. The United Kingdom presents itself as a target, as a fragmenting, post-Christian society, increasingly divided about interpretations of its history, about its national aims, its values and in its political identity,” the RUSI (Royal United Services Institute) report said.
“That fragmentation is worsened by the firm self-image of those elements within it who refuse to integrate.”
The report said “lack of leadership from the majority, which in misplaced deference to ’multiculturalism’ failed to lay down the line to immigrant communities”.
Verb Sap. to Americans the next time they hear liberal politicians prattle on about multiculturalism or "celebrating diversity". Look across the pond and see precisely where that skewed way of thinking is leading Europe.

I recently read that there is a growing contingent in the UK, including the Archbishop of Canterbury Dr. Rowan Williams, behind implementing some level of Sharia law along side the common law. It is absolutely mind-boggling.

On that subject: Mark Steyn offered some stinging observations regarding the Archbishop of Canterbury and his flailing communion.
ReplyDelete"The established Church in England, in part because it’s fallen into the hands of buffoons like Rowan Williams, who is basically this sort of weird, Welsh druid who’s been promoted way beyond his abilities, that the established Church in the United Kingdom and in Continental Europe has fallen, because there is no free market in Churches. And I think if there is going to be a future for Christianity in Britain at all, it will come, it will not come from an established Church like this...."
And further,
"Well, you know, this man is supposedly the head, worldwide head of the Anglican Communion. The Anglican Communion, in many ways, is a healthy Church, if you look at, say, Nigeria. There are more Anglicans at Church in Nigeria every Sunday morning than there are in the U.S. and Canada and Britain combined. And the Nigerians, who…Nigerian Anglicans who live on the hard face of Sharia, where it has become the law in certain provinces in Nigeria, understand that Sharia is, in fact, incompatible with a pluralist society. So they understand, because they live with it, what an idiot the Archbishop of Canterbury is. And I think this in fact goes beyond defeatism. This is the kind of guy who actually is…his solution to the problem is to preemptively surrender. There’s a term, I think, it was the Times of London used some years back, to refer to post-Christian Churches, and I think as led by someone like the Archbishop of Canterbury, you actually see that in effect, the Anglicans are becoming a post-Christian Church."
