Ayaan, I am so grateful for your intelligence and insights. The British are tolerant people - we embrace differences and eccentricities. It's one on our many strengths, it's also potentially going to be our downfall! I don't think most people have the imagination and understanding of what is at stake here. Our liberal values are being used against us. We could experience a civil war, and a Lebanon like outcome with Islamists gaining complete control over our society if we're not careful. Our government are capitulating to the Muslim vote and don't seem to understand history - when the Islamo-leftists team up, eventually the socialists are eliminated!
Great reporting, Ayaan. Hopefully this story will be widely read in the U.K.
Three takeaways for me from across the pond: 1. Based on experience throughout Western Europe in recent years, Islam has no interest in integrating into European Society. It seems much more interested in seizing control of European culture.
2. I am amazed that the British people have allowed things to get this far. At this point, re-imposing British values is going to be difficult and messy, if it happens at all.
3. All this has implications, however unsavory it sounds, for the number of Muslim immigrants the U.S. should allow in to avoid similar problems here. We have been spared from this so far only because of our geography.
I fear Britain has succumb. We are lost, our values and traditions thrown to the wind like so much flotsam and jetsam. It is a miserable demise of a truly great nation.
A deep dive into the facts. 100% accurate and scary. This is what happens when religious freedom meets religious intimidation. Unless the UK government can define the problem, in public, and then act on it to change, it’s game over. Michel Houellebecq’s Submission, which is a satiric cautionary tale about how socialism and Islamism gain control of the political (and then the entire social) scene in France, will be coming to western nation with pluralistic values near you.

No, the British aren’t tolerant people.
Especially if you’re American . If you come in the Middle East then they are.
No wonder 2nd and 3rd generations of “Americans” (uneducated farmers ) were able to release themselves from George 3 and the British monarchy.
