Sicilian,
We hear you…more and more Americans do not want our country to become another England.

Hm, I can imagine what some English people who actually live in England would have to say in response!We hear you…more and more Americans do not want our country to become another England.
Because there isn’t an English library in the entire country?Why don’t you check the library?
Then there is this article, The Islamisation of Britain which quotes an article from the Church of England newspaper, lamenting the reverse discrimination which is white-anting Britain’s Christian heritage.In order to facilitate this enormous (not to mention unwarranted and unmandated) social change, the political élite have enabled changes in legislation and policy that not only facilitate and encourage Islamisation (with blind eyes turned to some of its less-acceptable practices and customs), but have enacted legislation and a culture of political correctness aimed at restricting criticism of it.
The rising rate of emigration meant that nearly 1.6 million Britons left the country to live abroad between 1997 and 2006.
On December 14th, last year, she wrote an article lambasting the Church of England, which she sees as doing it’s bit to undermine Britain’s social structure. In that article she wroteSocial liberalism is all about destroying the normative Judeo-Christian moral principles of society which social conservatism is all about defending.
In that same article she lauds the US for its open Christian beleifs.Rationality is actually underpinned by Judeo-Christian beliefs…Without the Biblical narrative, which gave the world the revolutionary idea of an orderly universe that could therefore be investigated by the use of reason, science would never have developed in the first place.
And it was the Judeo-Christian belief that all individuals are made equal in the image of God that gave rise to human rights and democracy.
She constantly rails against the moral decline of Britain and the west in general and passionately regrets the breakdown in social morals and institutions…"…its hostility has contributed enormously to the climate of rabid hysteria, irrationality and bigotry towards Israel now consuming British public debate.
The only article I can find in her archives which is in any way crtical of the Church is that of February 28th 2009, where she expresses dismay at the Pope’s lifting of an excommunication edict against Britain’s Bishop Richard Willaimson, a holocaust denier and who is “… on record as saying that the Jews are fighting for world domination ‘to prepare the Anti-Christ’s throne in Jerusalem”. Fair criticism I’d say.If we are ever to defeat the global jihad against free societies, it is vital to tell that truth — that it is the West that is under attack. It is in that context that the Pope’s remarks must be seen — defending Christianity and western civilisation from an onslaught that has not just snuffed out many innocent lives, but seeks to snuff out freedom and truth itself.

Jean, it is far worse than even that article tells us. Read Censorship by Intimidation, written by British Journalist, Melanie POhillips, who writes extensively on this topic. She sees that the secularisation of European society is trashing the Judeo-Christian heritage of the west, creating a moral vacuum into which steps a ruthless Islam. Christianity moves to appease and worsens the situation. Sad, really.I had no idea that this was happening in the UK. I hope it never gets to this in the US.

Many are troubled by the present version of Islam which takes up Jihad with weapons as its main belief. It is true that the Muslims are suffering very much due to the attack from the white people of the west. So many Muslims are now struggling under the foriegn attacks. But that is not a struggle for Islam. It is a struggle to save their own skins.Jean, it is far worse than even that article tells us.

It is very true that the white people of the West have had their hospitality and tolerance turned back on them by the intolerance of Islam. The Islamic religion keeps demanding more and more concessions in the name of religious tolerance, yet displays none of that tolerance it expects from others.Many are troubled by the present version of Islam which takes up Jihad with weapons as its main belief.

The Muslims should have stayed away from their theory of Jihad with weapons against all non-believers. There was no such order in the Quran to oppose and kill the non-believers. There is not one mistake now. There are many mistakes which are causing harm to Islam and poor Muslims.
The struggle of Muslims in western countries to establish their own law (Sharia) by any means is illegal. They should live and enjoy peacefully there and seek the love of the people of those lands. They should not try to upset the peaceful situation in the land where they are living. Otherwise they will suffer all the more.
The trouble with Islam is that the Muslims cannot agree on a consistent interpretation of the Quran. It is a fragmented religion without a controlling Caliphate and so interpretations of the Quran and Hadiths are left up to individual Mullahs, many of whom think the Quranic interpretations should be more literal and therefore stricter. This tension within Islam is what gives us Jihad by the sword and what we call terrorism. It even takes a form of Jihad against other Muslims. It is a crazy, disunited, unpredictable religion whose adherents are too easily influenced by extreme Mullahs preaching intolerance and contempt in their Mosques. the result, home grown radicals in the UK and Australia. And, let’s not forget the constant Jihad against the sovereign state of israel.The best Jihad that the Muslims can carry out in western countries is to deliver sermons in their mosques for all Muslims to remain peaceful, to abide by the laws. They can also deliever sermons to protect all people from sinning and sex and drinking and gambling. But that should also be done very peacefully without mentioning any faith.
There is no need to deliver any political lecture from the loudspeakers of the mosques. The Mosques should only be used for spiritual uplift only.For prayers and for struggle against bad habits, gently.
Yes, they should be peaceful. Most of us westerners wouldn’t have a problem with them if they were.Many are troubled by the present version of Islam which takes up Jihad with weapons as its main belief.

Oh, those aggressive “white people of the west.”Muslims suffer more at the hands of other Muslims. As an Ahmadi, Planten, you of all people should know that.

Yes, they should have stayed away from it. But the Qu’ran says “slay the unbelievers wherever you find them.” (9:5) Those of us who have any knowledge of Islam at all or have been on this forum for any length of time know about that one.
