OK, I've blogged quite a lot on this subject: My starting point was that we face a threat - a global threat - from 'radical Islam' and that we need to know, since there are now so many Muslims living in our society, that their views and outlook are compatible with our own. Fundamentally that our way of life is not under threat from people who have become our neighbours.
That does not mean that I think they should give up their personal belief systems or their religion but that, when push comes to shove - as it surely will do eventually - we can rely on our Muslim communities to be on the side of 'us' Brits instead of being a threat to us.
This is not a racist or bigoted view but a practical one. Islam isn't a race anyway so off you jolly well fuck with that rejoinder. 'Practical' because we are facing a threat at the moment and we do, I think, need to know who's on our side. That's what happens in a time of war and I would strongly suggest that this is exactly where we are right now.
I have studied the Quran, not in great depth (I don't speak the 7th Century Arabic dialect which qualifies one to claim that right), but I have read academic papers as well as comments and viewpoints from people I respect and I have to conclude that it does not promote a 'religion of peace' and that it's time we rejected this bullshit for what it is - PC propaganda, the motivation for which I simply cannot understand. It's like wilfully misinterpreting and misrepresenting something that can kill us, in order not to offend the perpetrators of horror on our streets. On what planet can this be a good thing?
For fear of offending people, some of whom would kill us as soon as look at us, we seem to be trying to address their threat with kindness, with understanding and generosity. Values that we may be proud of, but which our sworn enemy sees as weakness and opportunity.
One does not stop a bully by appeasement, but by standing up to them. But this is what we seem to be trying to do right now.
All of which I've blogged about before. And my suggested solution has been to enable the so-called 'moderate Muslims' to speak out against this violence and this aspiration to take over 'the West' and to establish a global Caliphate by asking them - and making highly public their answer - whether they're on our side or not. So that the 'moderates' voice could be heard loud and clear by all in their communities as a crucial starting point to weeding out the extremists that we know (for sure) are living amongst our Muslim communities.
That was why Mr Pickles' letter to the Muslim community this week was so welcome. It was what I have been calling for for months and it was a good - and timely - letter. The response to it from many Muslim groups has not been positive and I have to say, therefore, that many of my suspicions seem to have been confirmed.
My concerns now, are essentially these:
1. Do 'moderate Muslims' actually exist or is their very view of how we should be governed (Sharia law) incompatible with what we want to see in our country?
2. Do they really abhor the violence that has been visited on our streets (France, Canada, Australia etc) or are they quietly supporting it?
3. Does the Quran (written when we though the earth was flat, almost 1,400 years ago) take precedence in the minds and hearts of British Muslims over our modern laws and values?
4. Can one be a Muslim and reject some verses of the Quran? Like one can be a Christian and ignore some of the more barbarous verses of the Old Testament?
Number 4 is key. The Quran calls for a global Caliphate established using violence if necessary. That's not an opinion. It's a fact. If Muslims cannot reject one of the most important elements of their 'book' in the light of modernity, then they are, quite simply, enemies of our western society.
I still cling on to some hope that modern Muslims can do this, but sadly I see absolutely no evidence that this is the case.
Pickles needs to ask the question again, but more specifically. I'm not sure that he will given the response so far received. He - and everyone in the establishment - must understand that this is a problem, but they're too scared to tackle it.
If they don't there will be war on our streets in my opinion. And because of our terrified PC media, when this war starts (it already has to all intents and purpose), we will not understand the nature of our enemy and we might well lose the war for that reason.
If they do, there may still be war - I think that this is inevitable now - but at least we will have been able to identify our enemy (Islam, the Quran and Muslims) and we'll know where we stand and who we're fighting against.
What will this 'war' look like in the UK? What do you do when your opponent has 5 million 'sleepers' ready to fight on the streets of your country? When its 'army' has already invaded? And when one's enemy sees dying as a martyr as a glorious outcome?
It's a terrifying thought, but unlike our so-called leaders I'll contemplate the reality of that thought. And if you think about it seriously, you will too. Nothing I have said above is impossible. Not much, frankly, is all that unlikely. I think it's happening as we speak. Time is running out and whilst the Muslim population is currently at 5% of our population, it will be more than 50% by 2050. Unless we do something about it.
If you think I'm bonkers, look at Sweden right now. And Denmark. Holland? Germany where PERGIDA protests are being banned.
When (if) we get to a Muslim majority population in the UK we will have Sharia law. There are enclaves in the UK right now that have Sharia law. Name me one Muslim country in the world that is not a basket case, a shithole. Just one will do. There aren't any.
So what can/will we do? If we come to understand that Muslims are not on our side? That they're actually working against us, using our PC-mad world, our tolerance and our generosity against us?
Rounding them up would look like what the Nazis did to the Jews in WW2. It would not be a good look. But if their committed view is to subjugate all of us in the West to living under Sharia law, taking us back, as a society, to medieval times, could we do it?
I think we should, but looking around the place at the moment, I don't think we would have the balls to do it.
And the trouble is that our opponents are not remotely interested in compromise or the 'live and let live' attitude that we have.
They won't give up until we are defeated, cast under the yolk of their medieval religion. We may well be the pawns of corporations and the élite in our modern society today , but we have opportunity and many freedoms. If we are taken over by the Muslim faith we will have neither of those things.
We'll pray on our knees six times a day and worship Allah. Every day. Forever. On pain of death.
What did the Charlie Hebdo guy say? I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees?
It's time we told Islam to fuck off. And time that we told it's followers either to get on side or to fuck off too. And time we rounded up and sent back to the Islamic world British Muslims who are not on our side. Many may have been born and raised here in the UK, so this won't be easy, but if they're not 'Brits', if they're fighting against us, if they want to live in a country that's governed by Sharia Law, we should help them to achieve that goal.
And we should be crystal clear about this: It will not, ever, be in the UK. They have a choice right now. To come on board or not. If their so-called 'leaders' including Baroness Warsi are to be believed, they are determined not to take that opportunity.
That window of opportunity is closing fast. We want to talk and to discuss this issue. We want you to be on our side so that we can face this threat together and defeat it. If you're not prepared to be part of the solution, you are part of the problem and we will solve it eventually. Or die in the attempt. If history tells you nothing else, on the 50th anniversary of Churchill's death, it should tell you that we will never, ever be slaves.
It's time for our 'moderate Muslims' to have another think. To ignore the bullying 'leaders' in their midst and to come on side, or, frankly, to fuck off. It's their choice. Not one that we can impose at this time, but we will find a solution if they don't.
It may not be pretty, if and when it comes, but it will be decisive. We are generous and tolerant, slow to rile, it's what makes us special in the world. But when we eventually wake up and realise that this is about our freedoms, we will not roll over. We never have and we never will. Because we understand what is important in this world.
Thanks for reading.
