Of Bermuda Grass and Islam
it’s left to the Cowboys to use the Round-Up
David Davis, the senior opposition Conservative member of Parliament (MP) “Britain has a proud history of tolerance towards people of different views, faiths and backgrounds. But we should not flinch from demanding the same tolerance and respect for the British way of life."
Gerald Howarth MP said if some Muslims “don’t like our way of life, there is a simple remedy: go to another country, get out."
Welcome back, Mssrs Van Winkle. Nasty dream, eh?
Yet, ‘tseems the multiculti has deep roots reluctant to let go—kinda like Bermuda grass. Says Mark Rice-Oxley, correspondent of the CS Monitor:
The problems facing multiculturalism have been underscored by the arrests that followed the failed July 21 attacks in London. The suspected bombers are east Africans who settled here in the early 1990s. Some took British citizenship. But the suspicion is that none really took to the British way of life. East African communities here are known for being particularly close-knit, in part because of the huge cultural barrier they face in settling here.
Didja catch that? Those sassy Muslims; “the suspicion is,” realized once they tried to blow up the Tube, they didn’t really take to the British way of life.
Another problem, community leaders say, is that minorities are expected to embrace a local culture that still discriminates against them and does not always represent their worldview.
Uhm… what’s wrong with this picture? I [this’s just me, mind you] I am not about to move to Saudi Arabia where the ‘local culture’ discriminates against me and in no way shape or form represents my worldview. That’d be like committing suicide.
Now, if’n one is moving from Somalia to Britain, moving away from starvation and random genocide, a little job discrimination due to the fact I didn’t speak English and therefore couldn’t do the dam job might not seem so bad. But thenagain, that’s Just Me©.
The practice in Iran and many other rural farming areas has been that the Christian farmers would hire Moslem workers, who would then bring their families and, ya come back a hundred years later and all those little Christian villages were Moslem. Along the lines of the Aztlan model. And Bermuda grass.
