A Letter from a Beleaguered Brit

Unsolicited from a reader in the UK:

I am just heartily sick of the sensation that I am being ethnically, culturally and demographically cleansed out of existence. Maybe that's an overreaction. But my home town of Rochdale in the UK looks like a suburb of Islamabad. And forget Muslims feeling cowed after 9/11 - no way it was only after 9/11 that the burqas and beards became popular and it was from then on that my grandmother felt real hostility wearing her (jewish) father's Star of David on a chain around her neck. In 2001 the North of England was subjected to nights of rioting caused by Pakistani men; I expect we'll see much worse in the years to come, particularly since the response to those riots was for masses of academics and liberal commentators to see the obvious and instead blame the host community. And nobody wants to mention the increasing harassment of the North's Jewish communities in areas such as Prestwich. If you get the chance there is a program on this subject produced by Richard Little John, it was on Channel 4 and was called "The War on Britain's Jews. Oh and you might also find this interesting, it's a link to MPAC's reaction to the proposed airing of the show representatives are regularly to be found on Sky News and the like giving the moderate Muslim reaction to terror attacks and the like; you know the usual we abhor the killing of innocents and the like.

Here's more the show anon is speaking about from Judith at HNN which bear out anon's remarks:

CHANNEL FOUR: "THE WAR AGAINST BRITAIN'S JEWS"

Well, the idea does not surprise me but the extend of the problem does. The channel four documentary maker, In The new anti-Semitism: How the Left reversed history to bring Judaism under attack Richard Littlejohn writes:

Ever since 9/11 I've detected an increase in anxiety among Jewish friends and neighbours in my part of North London. As I've always argued: just because you're paranoid, it doesn't mean they're not out to get you.

When I went to address a ladies' charity lunch at a synagogue in Finchley, I was astonished at the level of security. You don't expect to see bouncers in black bomber jackets on the door at a place of worship.

I soon discovered this wasn't unusual. Nor is it confined to London. The Chief Constable of Greater Manchester, Mike Todd, took me out on patrol with his officers and members of the Community Security Trust, which provides protection for the Jewish community.

These patrols are mounted every Friday night following a series of unprovoked attacks on Jews on their way to synagogue. We passed a care home surrounded by barbed wire.

At the King David School, there are high fences, floodlights, CCTV cameras and full time guards. It was the kind of security you associate with a prison.

They're even installing bombproof windows in many prominent Jewish institutions and running evacuation drills.

This sounded to me like Cold War panic. Surely it's all a bit over the top? Far from it, said Todd.

'We know that people carry out hostile reconnaissance. You do know that there will be attacks potentially and so what we're trying to do is make it a hostile environment to those people who want to engage in anti-Semitic attacks.'

Thanks to a man of conscience and the new technology, it is possible to watch the program in 6 installments.

Another pathetic anecdote from a Brit weighs;

You should see the North of England for yourself, it may be a vision of your future. For example an ex-girlfriend of mine went out with a chap whose dad was from Pakistan. The dad divorced his wife and was later found chopped up in the boot of a car; he'd been seeing a younger girl. That was about 10 years ago, nobody called them honour killings then, but we had all heard plenty of stories about people from that community who  disappeared mysteriously. Indeed as a teen I had a "girlfriend" from a Pakistani family. It was an innocent teen thing, roller skating and  coca cola at early evening kids' discos. But meeting her involved a series of byzantine maneuvers designed to make sure her brothers did not find out about what we were doing. She was convinced they would have hurt me very badly if they found out what we were up to. That did not surprise me for some reason as I remember Pakistani lads from my school going to Pakistan at 10 to get married, so I knew they had peculair ways when it came to love and stuff.

UPDATE: Please read more on MPAC here. Joe Kaufman lays it all out.

Upon entering the FBI building in Omaha Nebraska, a visitor is greeted by a plaque on the wall to the left, containing the following inscription:Upon entering the FBI building in

MUSLIM PUBLIC AFFAIRS COUNCIL

AMERICAN MUSLIM ASSOCIATION

(AMA)

AND PAY TRIBUTE TOHONOR

OUR FALLEN HEROES OF THE

SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 ATTACKS

For someone unfamiliar with MPAC, the memorial may very well appear innocuous. But once one understands the true nature of this group and its leaders’ storied history of defending terrorists, including Osama bin Laden, the harmful implications of its embrace by some in our government will be made immediately apparent. Read it all.

Pamela, what we view around the world today are the rumblings of war. At one point I thought we were in World War Three, but I wonder if WW3 has actually started yet. Some people are looking for a smackdown, asking for it, begging for it. The PC approach to war has NO effect on the motivation of the enemy. Big bombs and massive destruction, shortages of food, clean water, and other goods resulting from such destruction is the only way to get their attention. Kill them and destroy their lands until they raise the white flag.
Happy hunting.

You just know something's severely fucked with my little island homeland when you have its National Union of Journalists boycotting Israel, and to a lesser extent the Transport and General Workers Union.
Evidently we learned nothing from what happened 60-odd years ago.
Shocking and disgusting.
Truly we've regressed enormously since 1868, where we had Disraeli as our Prime Minister.

I've heard that this is happening in France, and other countries in the Continent.

Well, it looks like the police is not taking measures for protection. The People are on their own. The Jews are on their own. It looks like the Jews, the People are going to have to take Neighborhood Watches themselves.

The powers that be have abandoned us.


As was said before:

PEOPLE, WE'RE ON OURE OWN!

It's simple math: as the number of Muslims in the UK increases, so does the number of bombings and acts of violence directed towards Jews and other non-Muslims.
Same formula applies to any country, any time, any where.
Do the math!

I think this speaks for itself: When I first met my half Jewish friends Jewish grandparents, they we're talking to me about a holiday they'd recently been on to Israel, but as soon as they mentioned the fact they'd been to Israel, they rushed to justify it with "We only go because we have family their, really" and had a sort of uneasy look.
I don't know if that uneasiness (fear?) is something they feel when they tell anyone about going to Israel, or if they felt it because they assumed I was a libtard/socialist (most gays are).
They were shocked when I said "I'd love to have a holiday in Israel" =D.

Also, in my Sociology lessons at college, the teacher seems to love it when the Muslims say 9/11 was a Jewish/Israeli/capitalist plot (you'd be shocked by how often you hear people say "George Bush let 9/11 happen as an excuse for an oil war" in this country) but when I point out that it was 19 muslims that hijacked those planes and tell the Muslims that they are anti-semitic, the teacher accuses me of being racist (!) or 'culturaly insensitive'..

Ayn Rand at 100: "Yours is the Glory"

  • Aynrandstamp_1

  • Speaking to the unnamed, unchampioned, beating heart of her new land, Ayn was to say: 'Yours is the glory.'"
    A man whose ability and independence leads others to reject him, but who perseveres nevertheless to achieve his values. Man as an individual, as a creator. What's the most depraved type of human being? Not a sadist or a murderer or a sex maniac or a dictator; "The man without a purpose." Yet most people seem to go through their lives without a clearly defined purpose.


Barter


  • Life has Loveliness to sell,
    All beautiful and splendid things,
    Blue waves whitened on a cliff,
    Soaring fires that sways and swing,
    And children's faces looking up,
    Holding wonder like a cup

    Life has Loveliness to sell,
    Music like a curve of Gold,
    Scent of pinetrees in the rain,
    Eyes that love you, arms that hold,
    And for your spirit's still delight,
    Holy stars that star the night.

    Spend all you have for loveliness,
    Buy it and never count the cost;
    For one white singing hour of Peace
    Count many a year of strife well lost
    And for a breath of ecstasy
    Give all you have been, or could be.
