Islamization of the West

Vox populi, vox Dei appears to be the operating strategy for Marine Le Pen and her National Rally party, which has committed to multiple popular referendums should she be elected as the next President of France, including on a potential law to “combat Islamist ideologies” within the country.

The frontrunning presidential candidate confirmed on Monday that, to enforce the ban on Islamic veils in public, she would seek to hold a referendum to impose fines on those who flout the 2010 law, which is currently rarely enforced.

Ed Miliband’s efforts to deport the ringleader of the Rochdale grooming gang came to nothing this week after Pakistan refused to take him back.

Mohammad Ishaq Dar, Pakistan’s deputy prime minister and foreign minister, informed Mr Miliband in a meeting on Thursday Pakistan would not accept Shabir Ahmed back because it was not legally bound to do so.

Pakistani officials told their British counterparts they ‘currently do not have any legislation or formal mechanism under which we can take him back’.

According to figures released by the Ministry of Justice, one in five Muslim prisoners in England and Wales are now white, compared with around 6% of Muslims as a whole. At first glance, that number may look relatively benign: men finding faith and perhaps a sense of purpose behind bars. But the truth is much darker.

During my 16 years in prison, I saw Islamist groups offer frightened and susceptible prisoners protection, status and belonging — sometimes backed by intimidation — in exchange for conversion. And as the number of Muslim people in British prisons grows, accounting for nearly a fifth of all prisoners, vulnerable people on hostile wings increasingly find themselves joining strong groups not as a theological decision but rather as a survival strategy.

Is it time to call for a new crusade?

Not long ago, merely uttering the word “crusade” in connection with Islam was enough to provoke outrage. When George W. Bush casually referred to the coming war on terrorism as a “crusade” in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, the backlash was swift enough that the administration distanced itself from the word. Considering the countless apologies, condemnations, and mea culpas concerning the crusades that Westerners have been subjected to ever since, one might have assumed that “crusade” had been permanently banished from public discourse.

Long before the Boy Scouts decided that our young men couldn’t possibly go camping in the woods without girls in tow, its female counterpart had gone woke.

Sure, you can still get those addictive cookies from little girls in cheap vests decorated with embroidered patches manning folding tables outside the grocery store. But if you enroll your own daughter among their ranks, she might come home repeating some blue-haired sermon about diversity, equity, and inclusion. Worse, she might even have to share bathrooms, dressing rooms, and lodging with her confused peers of the opposite sex.

Remigration.
