		<description><![CDATA[So they operated with impunity for over twenty years.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/da1.gif"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-245900" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/da1.gif" alt="da1" width="272" height="153" /></a>Britain’s <a href="http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/birmingham-city-council-hid-links-8131813">Birmingham Mail</a> reported last week that Birmingham’s City Council buried a report about Muslim cab drivers exploiting non-Muslim girls back in 1990.</p>
<p>A researcher, Dr. Jill Jesson, drafted a report on this issue. But, she explained, “the report was shelved, buried, it was never made public. I was shocked to be told that copies of the report were to be destroyed and that nothing further was to be said. Clearly, there was something in this report that someone in the department was worried about.”</p>
<p>Authorities were worried because Jesson’s report illustrated that virtually all of the exploitative cab drivers were “Asians,” the British media euphemism for Muslims, and their victims were “white,” i.e., non-Muslim. The exploitation of these girls stems from Qur’an-based religious beliefs, but British officials were terrified because stopping this exploitation would appear “racist.”</p>
<p>Jesson elaborated:</p>
<blockquote><p>“There was a link between the sexual abuse of the girls and private hire drivers in the city. I thought at the time I did the work that there was an issue with race. Most of the girls were white. I was asked to take this link out, to erase it….Every time a news item has come on about sexual grooming of young girls and girls in care, and the link, too, between private hire drivers, I have thought ‘I told them about that in 1991 but they didn’t want to acknowledge it.’”</p></blockquote>
<p>“The sad part of this story,” Jesson concluded, “is not the suppression of evidence but that the relevant organisations have failed to address this problem.”</p>
<p>Indeed so – and that is because of its racial and religious aspects. British authorities persist in seeing this as a racial issue, when in fact these cabbies only preyed upon these girls because they were non-Muslims, and thus eligible to become “captives of the right hand” (cf. Qur’an 4:3, 4:24, 23:1-6, 33:50) and used as sex slaves.</p>
<p>But the fact that they see it as a racial issue, and their anxiety to avoid “racism,” led them to cover up these cases and allow thousands of girls to be victimized for twenty-three years. The officials responsible for this should be arrested, tried, and imprisoned; and the race-mongers on the current British scene, such as far-Left smearmongers such as Nick Lowles of Hope Not Hate and Fiyaz Mughal of Tell Mama UK, denounced by opinion-makers and policymakers from all points on the political spectrum — and tried also if their complicity in this behavior is found to have risen to criminal culpability.</p>
<p>Instead, British authorities are looking for scapegoats. The <a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-30103480">BBC</a> reported last week that “the police watchdog is to investigate 10 South Yorkshire Police officers over the handling of child sexual exploitation in Rotherham,” where <a href="http://www.jihadwatch.org/2014/08/uk-1400-non-muslim-children-exploited-by-muslim-rape-gangs-authorities-did-nothing-for-fear-of-being-thought-as-racist">1,400 British non-Muslim children were gang-raped</a> and brutalized by Muslims, and “several staff described their nervousness about identifying the ethnic origins of perpetrators for fear of being thought as racist; others remembered clear direction from their managers not to do so.”</p>
<p>These managers are the ones who are really responsible for this, along with opinion-makers such as Lowles and Mughal who created the culture in which people cower in fear of charges of “racism.” These ten police officers who are being investigated are just being set up to take the fall; they originated neither the police policies nor the cultural climate that led to the abandonment of these 1,400 abused children to their fate. Those who created the climate in which those who knew about this hesitated to speak out, for fear of being called “racist,” are the ones who ought to be put on trial — Lowles and Mughal and their ilk. These police officers, if they did cover up the activities of these rape gangs, are just the symptoms of the problem, not its cause.</p>
<p>But they will nonetheless see the ruin of their careers, at very least, and jail time at most – all for being cognizant of the fact that modern-day Britain is busy choosing death over “racism.” They will see their lives destroyed simply for following the <em>zeitgeist</em>. If they had the wit and the courage to do so, they ought to point an accusing finger at the judges who condemn them, and the politicians who appointed those judges, and the media figures who applauded those appointments. They are the ones responsible for the imminent demise of Britain. But Britain will fall before their trial date comes around.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Manchester authorities have higher priorities. ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/uk.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-244407" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/uk-285x350.jpg" alt="uk" width="247" height="303" /></a>Depressing revelations about the sexual abuse of teens and young women in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, England continue to rear their ugly head. Just last week the Freedom Center’s own Robert Spencer wrote about reports that the “sexual exploitation of vulnerable children has become the social norm in some parts of Greater Manchester.” Now the <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2815055/Police-cap-arrests-Rochdale-sex-abuse-inquiry-Social-worker-whistleblower-says-dozens-offenders-streets.html#ixzz3HnTrTWa2"><em>Daily Mail</em> reports</a> that dozens of child sex offenders are still at large there because the police <em>aren’t bothering to arrest them</em>.</p>
<p>In early 2012 nine “Asian” men (the Euro-media’s familiar euphemism for “Muslim”), ages 22 to 59, were <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/9239126/Rochdale-grooming-trial-gang-convicted-for-sex-trafficking.html">convicted</a> of rape and sex trafficking and jailed for a total of 77 years. They had “groomed” vulnerable white girls as young as 13, passed them around the group for sex, and kept the victims quiet with alcohol, food and small sums of money. Even more disgusting was the later revelation that the girls were victims of the grooming gang longer than necessary because police and social workers who were aware of the abuse turned a blind eye to it, rather than clamp down on the mostly Pakistani gang and be accused of racism.</p>
<p>Last Wednesday, Greater Manchester’s Police and Crime Commissioner put forward a report listing a whopping 13,000 cases of child sex abuse in the last six years, of which only 1,078 offenders were convicted. The Commissioner promised to review the unsolved cases of sex abuse allegations, but whistleblower Sara Rowbotham isn’t optimistic that further justice will be served.</p>
<p>According to Rowbotham, a social worker with more than 13 years experience who was responsible for gathering the main evidence in the 2012 Rochdale investigation, the police have put a “cap” on the number of child sex offenders they would arrest for raping and abusing young females. She said that during the 2012 case, police officials became “obsessed” with convicting just nine of the perpetrators, while “limited resources and manpower” resulted in the police allowing many more sex offenders to remain on the loose:</p>
<blockquote><p>It’s very shocking, but there are dozens of child sex offenders still on the streets because they put a cap on the number of people they would arrest. In the end this was just a tiny proportion of the number of offenders raping and abusing children and they were allowed to escape. But not only did they cap the number of offenders but they also put a ceiling on the number of victims they would interview and proceed with.</p></blockquote>
<p>She said that even today the police weren’t doing enough:</p>
<blockquote><p>It’s still going on. The same perpetrators are still out there because police put a ceiling on the number of arrests. The actual number of suspects is huge but the number of victims is equally large. They are still having to deal with the trauma of that on a day-to-day basis knowing no one has ever been brought to justice for abusing them.</p></blockquote>
<p>Rowbotham, let go from her job back in February, said she was frustrated that no one has been held to account for the police’s and social workers’ failings. She was also disappointed with the results of a report led by Member of Parliament Ann Coffey. “The victims deserve their evidence to be taken seriously,” she said. “I referred dozens of cases to the police that I know were never acted upon.”</p>
<p>But Coffey said the child sex abuse cases in Rochdale and other Manchester areas were a “deafening wake-up call.” She has proposed measures aimed at improving arrest and conviction rates of child sex offenders in Greater Manchester (including a review of cases whose investigations have stalled), new initiatives led by children themselves, and more training for public sector workers to recognize the “grooming” aspect of sex trafficking.</p>
<p>As for Rowbotham’s charge of police apathy, Ian Hanson, chairman of the Greater Manchester Police Federation, said,</p>
<blockquote><p>It is grossly unfair that both the organization and our police officer members collectively are singled out and blamed by some for what is a failure of the whole system. We expect officers to build relationships with victims in the most difficult circumstances imaginable in a fraction of the time where often the education and social care system has failed to do so.</p></blockquote>
<p>Detective Superintendent Jonathan Chadwick said that “Operation Doublet,” the sex-trafficking investigation launched in the wake of the Rochdale convictions, remains ongoing, with “a large number of staff being assigned to building relationships and trust with the victims and, wherever possible, dealing with those responsible through the criminal justice system.”</p>
<p>The tragedy is that all of these efforts are shaping up to be too little, too late. This trafficking became widespread in the first place because Manchester authorities were bound so tightly in the straitjacket of political correctness that, rather than face the stigma of charges of racism and so-called “Islamophobia,” they allowed girls and young women to be horribly abused. Had the perpetrators been white Englishmen, justice presumably would have been swifter. As Robert Spencer has pointed out, this kind of sexual exploitation may not be limited to Muslim culture, but “only in Islamic law does it carry anything approaching divine sanction.” [For chapter and verse of that sanction, read Robert’s piece <a href="http://www.jihadwatch.org/2014/10/robert-spencer-in-frontpage-uk-child-sex-exploitation-now-the-norm">here</a> at Jihadwatch.]</p>
<p>Over recent decades, Islamic supremacists and their progressive sympathizers (and not only in England, but throughout the West) have so effectively demonized anyone who dares raise concerns about Islam, that even today, the Manchester authorities remain more concerned about suppressing the full extent of their cowardly failure than eradicating a Muslim sex trafficking gang. As tragic as this is for the victims, it’s also indicative of a larger, cultural tragedy. A host culture that cannot muster the will and self-confidence to stand up to a subculture hostile to the host’s values is doomed.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/keep-calm-and-leave-the-eu-21.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-243706" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/keep-calm-and-leave-the-eu-21-300x350.png" alt="keep-calm-and-leave-the-eu-21" width="300" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>Just as the Eurocrats were thrilling at a poll which showed that supporting for the UK staying in the EU was at 56 to 44, <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/eu/11184044/EU-makes-Britain-pay-for-recovery.html">the EU had to</a> <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2805663/Brussels-asks-UK-cash-economy-s-doing-Cameron-fire-MPs-Brussels-demands-surcharge-France-gets-790m-rebate.html">overplay its hand</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>David Cameron is fighting to stop Britain being forced to pay an extra £1.7billion to the European Union due to the success of the British economy.</p>
<p>The Prime Minister was ambushed with a demand from the European Commission for the extra cash because Britain’s economy has performed better than other economies in Europe since 1995.</p>
<p>The bill is due on 1 December and Mr Cameron is particularly enraged because Brussels accountants are also preparing to give France back £790million as its economy performed less well than Britain’s.</p></blockquote>
<p>That&#8217;s what happens when you live in a welfare state. Success is punished. Failure is rewarded. There&#8217;s no point in austerity or saving money because it will just be taken away from you.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s the larger message.</p>
<blockquote><p>“It’s not acceptable to just change the fees for previous years and demand them back at a moment’s notice,” a Downing Street spokesman told the Financial Times.</p>
<p>A senior EU source told the Daily Telegraph that the scope for a legal challenge was non-existent.</p>
<p>“This at the commission’s discretion. It is automatic, there is nothing Britain can do about it,” said the official.</p></blockquote>
<p>That&#8217;s what happens when you&#8217;re part of an illegal totalitarian superstate run by corrupt thieving bureaucrats that aren&#8217;t subject to democracy and the rule of law. You can&#8217;t do anything about it except leave.</p>
<blockquote><p>The European Parliament’s demand for extra cash means the Treasury will have to find an extra £680million from taxpayers to pay Britain’s EU membership bill next year.</p></blockquote>
<p>Now maybe the Telegraph can explain again how the public must be reminded that anyone who supports UKIP is an unhinged fascist neanderthal.</p>

<p>I would attribute this move more to Saudi and UAE influence than Cameron&#8217;s courage (apparently Qatar isn&#8217;t running UK foreign policy just yet) but it&#8217;s still miles from where we are.</p>
<p>While the <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/11171979/Downing-Street-set-to-crack-down-on-the-Muslim-Brotherhood.html">UK proposes to crack down on the Brotherhood</a>, nearly every American politician has taken the violent hate and terrorist group to its bosom.</p>
<p>After 9/11, US law enforcement began drilling into the Brotherhood. And then it all went away and the MB&#8217;s front groups because the public face of Islam at every level and the civil rights project of every liberal. Now how are those liberals who spent the last few years sneering at Michele Bachmann, David Horowitz and Frank Gaffney for mentioning that the Brotherhood is a threat going to explain a British crackdown?</p>
<blockquote><p>A senior source close to the inquiry said its report – compiled but not yet published – had identified “an incredibly complex web” of up to 60 organisations in Britain, including charities, think tanks and even television channels, with links to the Muslim Brotherhood, which will all now come under scrutiny.</p>
<p>The inquiry, aided by the security services, has also investigated its network abroad. One expert said that the Brotherhood was now operating from three major bases – London, Istanbul and Doha, the capital of Qatar</p>
<p>The Government crackdown will stop short of outlawing the Muslim Brotherhood but action is expected to include:<br />
Þ Investigations into charities that are effectively “fronts” for the Brotherhood;</p>
<p>Þ Inquiries into funding of the organisation and links to jihadi groups abroad;</p>
<p>Þ Banning clerics linked to the group from countries such as Qatar and Turkey from coming to Britain for rallies and conferences.</p>
<p>The source said: “We cannot ban the organisation, but that was never the intention of the review. We can go after single individuals, not for terrorist-related activity, but through the Al Capone method of law-enforcement. We cannot get them for terrorism but I bet you they don’t pay their taxes.</p>
<p>&#8220;One of the big things is piling pressure on the charitable missions. Until now it has been very hard to monitor all the groups linked to the Muslim Brotherhood.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Which is to say that the Brotherhood&#8217;s groups will start being treated like the EDL and while that doesn&#8217;t sound like much, don&#8217;t underestimate the problems that come when a nanny state dislikes you and actively looks for ways to nail you for something.</p>
<p>If nothing else it will make the UK an inconvenient base of operations for the Brotherhood, which is the real goal here.</p>
<p>Cameron isn&#8217;t interested in destroying the Brotherhood. He just wants it to move an to an easier locale in Europe where they will become someone else&#8217;s problem. Considering Qatar&#8217;s growing influence in France, the answer may be quite nearby.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/alanDuncan_1461415c.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-243153" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/alanDuncan_1461415c-450x281.jpg" alt="alanDuncan_1461415c" width="450" height="281" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://daphneanson.blogspot.com/2014/10/after-vote-top-tory-slams-israels.html">Alan Duncan</a>, the UK&#8217;s Special Envoy to Yemen and Oman, a former oil industry man and current MP, offered a calculated insult to the United States and a staple of Nazi anti-Semitic propaganda as part of his unfortunate campaign against the Jewish State.</p>
<p>After denouncing Israeli &#8220;Apartheid&#8221; despite having built his career working with an oil company that actually propped up Apartheid in South Africa, <a href="http://daphneanson.blogspot.com/2014/10/after-vote-top-tory-slams-israels.html">Duncan demanded that all candidates be questioned</a> as to whether or not they oppose Jews living in Jerusalem.</p>
<p>Then he contended that the vote recognizing &#8220;Palestine&#8221;, really two quarreling terrorist micro-states that refuse to hold an election, was necessary <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MelanieLatest/posts/776854345690055">because the Jews run America</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>In a BBC Radio Four ‘World at One’ interview on the subject of the previous day’s vote by backbench MPs to overwhelmingly recognise Palestinian statehood, Alan Duncan said the vote was needed in part because:</p>
<p>&#8220;…we all know that the United States is in hock to a very powerful financial lobby which dominates its politics…&#8221;</p>
<p>This claim went unchallenged by the BBC interviewer, Martha Kearney.</p></blockquote>
<p>Aside from being the sort of classic anti-Semitism that you would have expected to hear in a Hitler speech, not from a UK MP and government envoy to two Muslim countries, it&#8217;s also a calculated insult to the United States.</p>
<p>Alan Duncan is not just expressing anti-Semitism, but his contempt for the United States as an independent self-governing democracy. His Jewish conspiracy theories are not only offensive for being racist, but for smearing the ally who has stood by the UK.</p>
<p>Duncan&#8217;s anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism are not just statements by an MP, but &#8220;The government’s Special Envoy to Yemen and The government’s Special Envoy to Oman&#8221;. His hatred for Jews and the US may be routine in Yemen, but he does not represent Yemen.</p>
<p>The UK government is obligated to answer for his remarks and to distinguish them from its official point of view.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/glubb.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-242994" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/glubb-432x350.jpg" alt="glubb" width="432" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>Considering the UK parliament&#8217;s unilateral little recognition of &#8220;Palestine&#8221; which consists of two quarreling micro welfare states subsidized by the international community, neither of whom are willing to hold an election, but both of whom are eager to engage in terrorism, it&#8217;s time for a brief stroll down memory lane.</p>
<p>In 1950, the UK became the only European country <a href="http://hansard.millbanksystems.com/commons/1950/apr/27/jordan-and-israel-government-decision">to recognize the Jordanian annexation of </a>the West Bank.</p>
<blockquote><p>The Minister of State (Mr. Younger) His Majesty&#8217;s Government in the United Kingdom have been officially informed by the Government of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan of the union of the Kingdom of Jordan and of that part of Palestine under Jordan occupation and control. The Jordan Government, in this communication, have stated that an Act providing for this union was unanimously adopted on 24th April by the Jordan Assembly, which is composed of representatives of both these territories, and received the Royal Assent on the same day. His Majesty&#8217;s Government have decided to accord formal recognition to this union. They take this opportunity of declaring that they regard the provisions of the Anglo-Jordan Treaty of Alliance of 1948 as applicable to all the territory included in the union.</p></blockquote>
<p>A caveat was introduced regarding Jerusalem, but Jordan was still recognized as de facto authority and the treaty applied there as well.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.jta.org/1948/05/27/archive/bevin-tells-parliament-british-officers-will-serve-with-arab-legion-in-palestine-war">Why did the UK </a>take such a drastic step? Because in fact it was the UK that had arranged for the seizure. British officers led the Arab forces that captured part of Jerusalem. Jordan at the time functioned essentially <a href="http://emperors-clothes.com/history/br.htm">as a British puppet government</a> the way that most of the &#8220;kingdoms&#8221; were supposed to function, at least until they were overthrown.</p>
<blockquote><p>Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin told Commons today that British officers serving with the Arab Lesion in the Palestine war would be withdrawn only if Britain’s fulfillment of treaty obligations with Transjordan became inconsistent with its obligations to the United Nations.</p>
<p>Replying to a question by Sidney Silverman, M.P., whether “it is fitting that a force paid for by British money and wearing uniforms and carrying equipment provided by us should be engaged in shelling the Holy Places,” Bevin said: “The British will do what they can conceive to be right and will report to this House.” The Foreign Minister remarked that one of the difficulties in Jerusalem was “the breaking of the truce by the Jews.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Bevin would eventually deny that General Glubb and Brigadier Lash were leading the Arab Legion. <a href="http://www.jta.org/1948/06/14/jewish-holidays/shavuot/u-n-truce-commission-to-check-jewish-food-convoys-entering-jerusalem-via-new-road">Though it was kind of hard to deny</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>Meanwhile, the Arab Legion commander here, British Brigadier Norman Lash, has threatened to open fire with heavy artillery on Jewish convoys entering Jerusalem via the new route. If the Jews use this route, completely within Jewish hands, they are legally not required to limit the food stocks they bring into Jerusalem, since only food in convoys brought in by the Bed Cross over Arab-controlled roads, will be doled out under the terms of Bernadotte’s cease-fire plan.</p>
<p>Jerusalem inhabitants today paraded though peaceful streets dressed in their holiday clothes in honor of the Shevuoth holiday. Their cheerful mood was heightened by the knowledge that the Israeli army had finally succeeded in breaking the food blockade.</p></blockquote>
<p>Really gives BDS a whole<a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=qCRPDVje7WwC&amp;printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&amp;q&amp;f=false"> new meaning</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>A few minutes later, Colonel Bill Newman, the Australian commander of the Legion&#8217;s Third Regiment and Major Bob Slade, his Scottish deputy, assembled their Arab officers outside Kalandia. Spreading his maps, Newman stabbed his finger at Jerusalem. &#8220;That&#8217;s where we&#8217;re going,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>An explosion of joy and shrieks of delight drowned his words.</p></blockquote>
<p>Other officers included Colonel Desmond Goldie, Lt. Colonel H.C. Blackden, Brigadier Arthur Cooke, Major James Hawkin, Colonel Teel Ashton and a handful of Arab officers.</p>
<p>And this is how it ended at the time with Jewish refugees fleeing for their lives until the Israeli liberation of Jerusalem in the Six Day War.</p>

The video shows the Police Commissioner being questioned about why, among many things, the UK police found a 11-year-girl being sexually abused by Muslim men and charged the girl for being drunk under age and did nothing to the Muslim men. He is also asked about the cases of fathers being arrested for trying to rescue their daughters from being raped by a group of Muslim men, while nothing was done to the Muslim men.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Jewish-museum-shooting-fo-011.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-240687" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Jewish-museum-shooting-fo-011-450x270.jpg" alt="Jewish museum shooting footage" width="450" height="270" /></a></p>
<p>Let all the Jihadis return to the UK and<a href="http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-London/2014/09/09/Six-Attacks-Europe-ISIS"> it&#8217;ll be a lot more than six</a>. There&#8217;s a reason countries have airports and it&#8217;s not just to humiliate tourists. (via <a href="http://thereligionofpeace.com/">Religion of Peace</a>)</p>
<blockquote><p>Speaking in Parliament, British Prime Minister David Cameron has revealed there have been at least six serious attacks planned against member states of the European Union by the self-declared Islamic State, reports The Express.</p>
<p>Making a statement to the house on his visit to the NATO conference, Cameron said: “The point I would make even today to the British people is: be in no doubt about the threat that so-called Islamic State poses to us. We have already seen something like six planned attacks in the countries of the European Union from [ISIS], including of course that appalling attack in the Brussels Jewish museum, where innocent people were killed. That flows directly from this organisation.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Details are vague. The Brussels museum attack was actually carried out, but the attacker reportedly was planning another attack, so that may also be listed among the six. There was a recent alert in the UK which may have been a response to something.</p>
<p>The left will argue, as it did with the original Al Qaeda, that the organization is so nebulous that the attacks don&#8217;t really stem from it, despite the Caliphate, the Caliph and the pledges of allegiance.</p>
<p>The UK, for all its pandering, has fairly good intel. As with us, the intel hits blockages at the political and enforcement level. It does appear that there is a good deal of material in Europe that has yet to go public.</p>
<p>While bombing ISIS is a good way to degrade its total forces, the best way of preventing terrorist attacks is not to let their planners and perpetrators into the country.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Why the Left allowed 16 years of gang rapes of young U.K. girls.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/da.gif"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-240675" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/da.gif" alt="da" width="274" height="154" /></a>Last week, it was revealed that between 1997 and 2013, at least 1,400 girls — in just one relatively small English city (Rotherham, population 275,000) had been raped by gangs of men over the past decade.</p>
<p>As summarized in a British government inquiry:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;It is hard to describe the appalling nature of the abuse that child victims suffered. They were raped by multiple perpetrators, trafficked to other towns and cities in the north of England, abducted, beaten, and intimidated. There were examples of children who had been doused in petrol and threatened with being set alight, threatened with guns, made to witness brutally violent rapes and threatened they would be next if they told anyone. Girls as young as 11 were raped by large numbers of male perpetrators.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Why was nothing done for 16 years?</p>
<p>Police incompetence was a factor, but not the primary reason.</p>
<p>The primary reason was political correctness. It turns out that the perpetrators were all, or nearly all, of &#8220;Pakistani heritage&#8221; and the girls were all, or nearly all, white.</p>
<p>This explanation is not that of conservatives alone. Virtually everyone, including media and politicians on the British left, acknowledge that this is the reason. What neither they nor the American left have acknowledged is that political correctness was created and is sustained by the left.</p>
<p>It is a testament to the lack of self-awareness on the left that it experiences no cognitive dissonance. The New York Times and other left-wing media have thoroughly reported this story and the fact that political correctness is to blame for the ongoing atrocities against these girls. Yet they are oblivious to the fact that they are the very ones who created the moral monsters known as political correctness, multiculturalism and diversity — the doctrines that forbid judging non-whites, Muslims and others by the same moral standards as whites and Christians.</p>
<p>These left-wing doctrines made 16 years of gang rapes of English girls possible.</p>
<p>In 2002, a Labor Party MP from nearby Keighley, Ann Cryer, complained to the police about &#8220;young Asian lads&#8221; raping girls in her constituency. In her words, she &#8220;was shunned by elements of her party.&#8221; And note, that as is demanded by the left in the U.K., she didn&#8217;t even mention that the rapists were Pakistani, lest Muslims be blamed for this evil. They were &#8220;Asian lads.&#8221;</p>
<p>And, for the record, her attempts to get local imams to intervene with the men failed; she was called a racist.</p>
<p>National Review editor Rich Lowry reports that,</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;In a BBC documentary, the author of a 2002 report to the Rotherham council on the scandal said her work was quashed. When she noted that the perpetrators were from the Pakistani community, a colleague told her &#8216;you must never refer to that again — you must never refer to Asian men.&#8217; She was sent to diversity training and, by her account, nearly fired.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>British Home Secretary Theresa May told Parliament that &#8220;institutionalized political correctness&#8221; was responsible for the lack of attention given to the mass rape.</p>
<p>In 2001, Jack Straw, then-MP from Brighton, and formerly U.K. home secretary, announced that &#8220;there is a specific problem which involves Pakistani heritage men &#8230; who target vulnerable young white girls.&#8221; Straw was dismissed by the left. For example, Keith Vaz, a Labour MP, told the BBC: &#8220;I disagree with Jack Straw &#8230; I don&#8217;t think you can stereotype an entire community.&#8221;</p>
<p>The immediate case that prompted Straw&#8217;s statement was the conviction of two Brits of Pakistani heritage on charges of rape. Multiculturalism and political correctness clearly infected the judge in that case. He &#8220;said he did not believe the crimes were &#8216;racially aggravated,&#8217; adding that the race of the victims and their abusers was &#8216;coincidental.&#8217;&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Coincidental.&#8221;</p>
<p>Lies are to political correctness, multiculturalism and diversity what water is to fish.</p>
<p>From the Guardian in 2001: &#8220;Retired detective chief superintendent Max McLean, who led a previous police investigation into sexual exploitation involving the grooming and trafficking of young girls in Leeds, <i> questioned whether it was a cultural problem&#8221; </i> (italics added).</p>
<p>Perhaps Detective Chief Superintendent is unaware of the following from his own country (as reported last week in the New York Times):</p>
<p>&#8220;The same [as in Rotherham] was true in recent prosecutions in Oxford, in southern England, and the northern towns of Oldham and Rochdale, where nine men of Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Afghan origin were given long prison sentences in 2012 for abusing up to 47 girls. Investigators in Scotland have reportedly uncovered a similar pattern of abuse.&#8221;</p>
<p>So why did the judge &#8220;question whether it was a cultural problem&#8221;?</p>
<p>Because morally judging cultures (except Christian, Israeli and American cultures) is forbidden by the left. Indeed not judging non-Western cultures is the very definition of &#8220;multiculturalism.&#8221;</p>
<p>And finally, from the same report: Mohammed Shafiq, chief executive of Muslim organization the Ramadhan Foundation, &#8220;to suggest that this is somehow ingrained in the community is deeply offensive.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Offensive?&#8221; But what, Mr. Shafiq, if it&#8217;s true?</p>
<p>The answer is clear and important. For the multicultural left and the victim-status groups it defends — and for the millions of young people the Left has indoctrinated at schools and universities — whether something is true is not what matters. What matters is whether it can be deemed offensive by the left.</p>
<p>Some 1,400 girls were raped by gangs of men — &#8220;[While one girl was being raped] the rest of the men, all in their 20s, stood over her, cheering and jeering, and blinding her with the flash of their cameras&#8221; — thanks to leftism&#8217;s morality-denying doctrine of multiculturalism.</p>
<p>This is all but one more example of the most important moral rule since the beginning of the 20th century: Almost everything the left touches is either damaged or ruined.</p>
<p>In this case, it was the lives of 1,400 English girls.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[British jihadis in Iraq and Syria should be encouraged to return home]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Isis4.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-236555" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Isis4-450x280.jpg" alt="Isis4" width="450" height="280" /></a></p>
<p>Sure <a href="http://vladtepesblog.com/2014/09/07/islam-and-the-west-links-3-for-sept-7-2014/">we deport Nazi war </a>criminals. But<a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2746647/British-jihadis-Iraq-Syria-encouraged-come-home-says-former-MI6-chief.html#ixzz3Cf1wvZHZ"> let&#8217;s invite ISIS war criminals in.</a></p>
<blockquote><p>British jihadis in Iraq and Syria should be encouraged to return home, a counter-terrorism expert said today. Richard Barrett, a former MI6 global counter-terrorism director, said repentant fighters must know ‘there is a place for them back at home’. His comments come after it was revealed some UK jihadis fighting in Syria want to come home after becoming disillusioned with the conflict.</p>
<p>Mr Barrett, 65, told The Observer: ‘Many of the people who have been most successful in undermining the terrorist narrative are themselves ex-extremists.&#8217;</p></blockquote>
<p>So are the people most successful in blowing things up. And since the UK, like the US, has a long history of not being able to tell so-called extremists and moderates apart, largely because these terms are Western liberal attempts to make sense of Islamic theology and tactics which doesn&#8217;t align along such lines, this can only end well.</p>
<p>But here&#8217;s a few more facts about Dick Barrett from the wiki. See if you can tell how they connect&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>1. Barrett is a recognized global expert on terrorism who frequently appears as a panelist in related conferences and whose commentary is regularly featured in the press.</p>
<p>2. Barrett also served as Director of Global Counter Terrorism Operations for the British Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) both before and after the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States</p>
<p>3. Mr. Barrett was also a founding member of the United Nations Counter Terrorism Implementation Task Force (CTITF), which was established in 2005 to promote the UN Global Counter Terrorism Strategy adopted by the General Assembly in 2006.</p>
<p>4. He is the author of several articles and commentaries including op-eds for The Guardian, The New York Times, The Financial Times and The International Herald Tribune.</p>
<p>5. Barrett sits on the boards of the <strong>Qatar</strong> International Academy for Security Studies in Doha</p></blockquote>
<p>All terror roads lead back to Qatar.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/saudi_rehab_01.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-240021" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/saudi_rehab_01-450x297.jpg" alt="saudi_rehab_01" width="450" height="297" /></a></p>
<p>So much for all the tough talk about not letting them back in.</p>
<p>To &#8220;deradicalize&#8221; a Muslim, you use Muslim clergy. So you can see where this is going. It&#8217;s like putting drug dealers in charge of Narcotics Anonymous and Jihadists back on the streets of London.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/terrorism-in-the-uk/11068878/British-jihadists-to-be-forced-to-attend-deradicalisation-programmes-says-Cameron.html">&#8220;Deradicalization&#8221; is a scam </a>because the instructors are often every bit as &#8220;radical&#8221; as the students. There&#8217;s no way for current Western leaders to distinguish bad from good because their metrics involve things like democracy which leaves the Muslim Brotherhood in.</p>
<p>The Saudis began pushing the deradicalization scam even though their mosques and Imams were the ones pushing the hard Salafi lines.</p>
<blockquote><p>British jihadists returning from Iraq and Syria will be forced to attend “deradicalisation” programmes to reverse their warped brainwashing, David Cameron announced.</p>
<p>Dangerous fanatics made subject to court controls will be ordered to engage in anti-extremism schemes as part of a raft of new measures to combat the risk of British Islamists returning to the UK.</p>
<p>At least 500 are feared to have travelled out and half are now back on the streets of the UK, potentially plotted attacks here.</p>
<p>Under the proposals, any terror suspect placed under a Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures (Tpims) will now be forced to engage in the Government’s Prevent programme, which tackles radicalisation.</p>
<p>The Al Furqan programme, which is run in prisons, uses Imams to challenge the views of extremist Islam through religious teaching.</p>
<p>The Healthy Identities Intervention is a more introspective approach where psychotherapists try to discover what triggered terrorists to become radicalised.</p></blockquote>
<p>There are no words for how stupid this is. Instead of denationalizing foreign fighters, the UK is going to force them to attend lectures by equally Jihad supporting Imams and talk to shrinks to understand why they want to kill people.</p>
<p>Wouldn&#8217;t just surrendering to ISIS be simpler and easier?</p>

<p><a href="http://halalporkshop.blogspot.com/2014/07/999-of-media-coverage-is-anti-muslim.html">This is the bizarre Muslim argument</a> in Europe.</p>
<p>Never mind that Islam is violently anti-Semitic. Muslims are the new Jews.</p>
<p>Never mind that the rise in anti-Semitic attacks in Europe can be attributed to Muslim migrants. The very people attacking Jews&#8230; are the new Jews.</p>
<p>Never mind that Muslims are not a minority, but a majority, in much of the world, and that their countries have the least religious freedom and human rights. They&#8217;ll still insist that they&#8217;re the new Jews.</p>
<p>This bit of a secular replacement theology mirrors the formal Muslim theological claim that they replaced the Jews.</p>
<blockquote><p>Labour&#8217;s Yasmin Qureshi said very similar words to those included in information and literature put out by the Nazis were being used against Muslims in Britain at the moment.</p>
<p>&#8220;If you look at some of the information and literature that was being put out by the Germans and the Nazis at the time &#8211; very similar words they use against the Jewish people (are) exactly being used against the Muslim people in this country at the moment.</p></blockquote>
<p>Not really, but if you look at Muslim rhetoric aimed at Jews in the UK, as well as rhetoric from the usual radical left-wing groups, it&#8217;s entirely Nazi-like.</p>
<p><a href="http://richardmillett.wordpress.com/2014/02/08/labour-mp-yasmin-qureshi-apologises-for-comparing-gaza-to-the-holocaust/">Yasmin Qureshi</a> had previously compared Israel&#8217;s war on terror in Gaza to the Holocaust. The actual Holocaust however involved Muslim participation in killing Jews.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The jihad that Western authorities ignore is drawing ever closer.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/src.adapt_.480.low_.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-235018" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/src.adapt_.480.low_.jpg" alt="src.adapt.480.low" width="263" height="228" /></a>The denial of the reality of jihad is thicker than ever, even as jihadis advance around the world. And it endangers us all.</p>
<p>Former CIA officer John Maguire <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/cia-capabilities-eroded-2014-6"><span style="color: #0433ff;">revealed this week</span></a> that the CIA was blindsided by the rise of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), which now controls so much of Syria and Iraq and has designs on a great deal more territory. Maguire attributed the CIA’s underestimating of ISIL’s threat to The Company’s reduced presence in Iraq: “This is a glaring example of the erosion of our street craft and our tradecraft and our capability to operate in a hard place. The U.S. taxpayer is not getting their money’s worth.”</p>
<p>But that isn’t the whole story. Another reason why the CIA was completely surprised by ISIL’s advance was because the Obama Administration has so thoroughly deemphasized the jihad threat, and loudly and repeatedly proclaimed that al Qaeda was the only jihad group – and was, for its part, “on the ropes.” ISIL, an offshoot of al Qaeda in a country where Obama was in a hurry to declare victory and get out was unlikely to be the focus of sustained or serious analysis.</p>
<p>The willful ignorance is all-pervasive. It is a fundamental dogma of our age that the overwhelming majority of Muslims in Western countries are enthusiastic democratic pluralists who reject and abhor not only jihad terrorism, but the elements of Sharia that are at variance with otherwise universally held principles of human rights. This dogma keeps running up against the buzz-saw of reality, but that never seems to make a difference to authorities.</p>
<p>And so it was this week that <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2666460/UK-Muslims-complacent-threat-home-grown-jihadists-warns-counter-terrorism-officer-Cressida-Dick.html"><span style="color: #0433ff;">the UK’s Daily Mail noted</span></a> that the Metropolitan Police’s Assistant Commissioner, Cressida Dick, said of Britain’s Muslim communities that “there were many cases where ‘warning signs’ about extremists were not brought to the attention of authorities. She also indicated some Muslims were too accepting of radical views, saying it was the police’s ‘greatest challenge’ to make them ‘wholly hostile to violent extremism.’”</p>
<p>How could this be? After all, a core assumption of British intelligence and law enforcement officials is that Muslim communities on the Sceptered Isle unambiguously oppose “violent extremism,” except, of course, for that pesky and ever-present tiny minority of extremists. So why were Muslims sometimes not bringing potential jihadis to the attention of authorities? Of course the obvious reason for this, and for why some Muslims in Britain are “too accepting of radical views,” is because they agree with those “radical views” and consider them to be authentic Islam. But that prospect is so horrifying in its implications that British officials do not dare face it.</p>
<p>Indeed, it is virtually universally accepted that Islam is inherently peaceful, and that only the extremists who misunderstand it (and vicious Islamophobes) think otherwise. So it was that at the University of Calgary, university officials ignored a professor’s warnings about potential jihadists on campus – after all, such a suggestion is “Islamophobic,” is it not?</p>
<p>A Muslim from Calgary, Farah Mohamed Shirdon, is in Iraq waging jihad with ISIL, and a former University of Calgary professor, <a href="http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/warnings-about-potential-muslim-radicalization-went-ignored-ex-u-of-c-prof-says-1.2687016"><span style="color: #0433ff;">Aaron Hughes,</span></a> is saying that he tried to warn university officials that something like this was in the offing.</p>
<p>Hughes said: “I was very much bothered by the conservative nature of the Muslim student body. I was definitely aware of the potential for radicalization on campus. That is another venue in which potential radicalization could occur, so not just at mosques, but also on campus.” However, “I had been mentioning the conservative nature of these students and the university; they just weren’t interested in it.”</p>
<p>These “conservative” students annoyed Hughes by refusing to accept his understanding of Islam: “They made teaching Islam from an objective perspective very difficult because they knew what the ‘real’ Islam was. Of course they didn’t.” Or maybe they did, but Hughes, assured of the fact that Islam was a Religion of Peace, was certain that they were actually ignorant of their own religion, no matter how dedicated to it they were.</p>
<p>University officials, in any case, disregarded Hughes’s warnings. Jihadis on campus? Inconceivable! Islam is a Religion of Peace!</p>
<p>Even terrorism may be peaceful nowadays. Mohamed Hassan Hersi, a Muslim in Toronto who <a href="http://news.nationalpost.com/2014/06/25/prosecutors-pushing-for-10-year-sentence-for-toronto-man-who-tried-leave-canada-to-join-brutal-terrorists/"><span style="color: #0433ff;">has been convicted</span></a> of trying to join the jihad terror group al Shabaab, was only engaged, according to his lawyer, in “non-violent terrorism.”</p>
<p>“Non-violent terrorism”? The phrase is as stupid and devoid of content as another popular term these days, “moderate Islamist.”</p>
<p>The world is in flames because of Islamic jihad. Will those flames finally burn away the all-blanketing fog of disinformation, misinformation, and willful ignorance concerning the nature and magnitude of the jihad threat? Perhaps. But there is no telling how much else will be burned away along with it.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/rHGnnad-360.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-234744" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/rHGnnad-360.jpg" alt="rHGnnad-360" width="268" height="151" /></a>It&#8217;s always been obvious that the problem of <a href="http://www.frontpagemag.com/2014/enza-ferreri/britains-jihadists-within/"><span style="color: #0433ff;">&#8220;British&#8221; jihadists</span></a> coming back from Syria &#8212; and now Iraq too &#8212; to become terrorists here was not going to go away. The UK government, with its phobia of &#8220;Islamophobia,&#8221; cannot possibly solve it.</p>
<p style="color: #0433ff;"><span style="color: #000000;">From <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-27898724">&#8220;Iraq crisis: ISIS militants threaten UK, says Cameron&#8221;</a>:</span></p>
<blockquote><p>David Cameron has warned of the threat to the UK if an &#8220;extreme Islamist regime&#8221; is created in central Iraq.</p>
<p>He said Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) fighters threatening the government in Baghdad were also plotting terror attacks on the UK.</p>
<p>And Britain could not ignore the security threat the UK now faced from jihadists in Iraq and Syria.</p></blockquote>
<p>Britain may not ignore it, but it&#8217;s not going to do very much about it.</p>
<p>A BBC reporter said today on the TV that this problem is the same all over the world. He should have added &#8212; but didn&#8217;t &#8212; &#8220;wherever there are Muslims.&#8221; Muslim-free countries don&#8217;t experience this problem at all.</p>
<p>The BBC report was about what the government can and cannot do in order to protect British people from this threat, and in general to avoid the &#8220;radicalisation&#8221; of UK Muslims.</p>
<p>Despite the fact that 9 years have passed without another 7/7, the government measures to fight Muslim radicalisation in this country have been a failure, the journalist went on to say.</p>
<p>What a surprise! The only reason there are not more terrorist attacks in the UK, I would say, is the constant surveillance of the &#8220;Muslim community&#8221; by police and intelligence services &#8212; with huge expenses for a gravely cash-strapped Britain &#8212; which is now <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2014/06/22/liam-fox-isis-terrorism-surveillance-_n_5519583.html"><span style="color: #0433ff;">necessary to increase</span></a>.</p>
<p>Nevertheless, former MI6 director Richard Barrett explained that the security services will <a href="http://www.ngrguardiannews.com/news/world-news/167520-not-possible-to-monitor-all-uk-syria-fighters"><span style="color: #0433ff;">not be able to monitor</span></a> all the &#8220;British&#8221; jihadists who return to the UK after fighting in Syria.</p>
<p>The implications for UK security of the Iraq and Syrian conflicts due to the &#8220;Britons&#8221; fighting there is a topic dominating the national newspapers.</p>
<p style="color: #0433ff;"><a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2664929/Terror-fallout-British-jihadists-fighting-Syria-felt-years-come-Britain-says-Met-Police-officer-warns-new-threat-Islamic-extremism.html?ITO=1490&amp;ns_mchannel=rss&amp;ns_campaign=1490">&#8220;Terror fallout from British jihadists fighting in Syria will be felt for years to come in Britain,&#8221;</a><span style="color: #000000;"> headlines <i>The Daily Mail</i>.</span></p>
<p>This warning came from the top counter-terrorism expert Cressida Dick, the Metropolitan Police&#8217;s assistant commissioner and head of specialist operations, who said that Britain will feel the repercussions of Syria and the rise of Islamic extremism within its own borders for &#8220;for many, many, many years to come.&#8221;</p>
<p>She added that young &#8220;British&#8221; Muslims who have gone to fight in Syria might commit violence and terrorist acts when they return.</p>
<p>Possible links have been found between three Muslims based in Cardiff, Wales, who were present with other ISIS militants in a propaganda video filmed by the group, and two men from the same part of the city, who are in prison for having planned to blow up London&#8217;s Stock Exchange.</p>
<p>Shadow justice secretary Sadiq Khan warned that radicalisation in prisons was a big problem. Indeed, this corresponds to the dire predictions of Dr. Peter Hammond in his book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0980263913/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0980263913&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=villagonlinema00&amp;linkId=354UXL2OPIKSRKFN"><span style="color: #0433ff;">Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat (Amazon USA)</span></a>, <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0958454981/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1634&amp;creative=6738&amp;creativeASIN=0958454981&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=villagonlinemaga"><span style="color: #0433ff;">(Amazon UK)</span></a>.</p>
<p>The book says that, when the Muslim population reaches 2% to 5% of a country, they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from jails and street gangs.</p>
<p>According to the the United Kingdom Census 2011, in that year <a href="http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/rel/census/2011-census/key-statistics-for-local-authorities-in-england-and-wales/rpt-religion.html"><span style="color: #0433ff;">Muslims were 2.7 million</span></a>, 4.8% of the country&#8217;s total population.</p>
<p>Hammond&#8217;s book, which was first published in 2005 and then in a second edition in 2009, says that, when Muslims are above 5%, they exercise an influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. They will push for the introduction of <a href="http://www.frontpagemag.com/2013/enza-ferreri/halal-a-taste-of-terror/"><span style="color: #0433ff;">halal food</span></a>, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims, and will increase pressure on supermarket chains to sell halal, with threats for failure to comply. They will also try to get the government to allow them to rule themselves under Sharia law within their ghettos.</p>
<p>Rings a bell? This is the stage which Britain has already reached. The only prediction that hasn&#8217;t materialised is Muslim threats to supermarkets, only because they are redundant as those companies are all too eager to oblige.</p>
<p>And now look at the next stage: when Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of protest, examples of which are the car-burnings in Paris (and we can now add Sweden) and uprisings and threats for any action which offends Islam, namely any non-Muslim action. The greater the proportion of Muslim population the more frequent these tensions will be, until they become daily occurrences.</p>
<p>How can British people not have noticed that, over the years, their country&#8217;s Muslims &#8212; whose number has steadily increased &#8212; have indeed become more vociferous, oppressive, demanding, aggressive and dangerous?</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/sharia_law.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-234108" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/sharia_law.jpg" alt="sharia_law" width="277" height="295" /></a>It&#8217;s not enough that in Britain non-Muslim children in <a href="http://www.guardian-series.co.uk/news/10334813.Halal_meat_served_in_three_quarters_of_council_supported_schools/">publicly-funded schools</a>, Islamic and non-Islamic, are served halal meat &#8212; from animals whose throat is cut without proper stunning, according to the Islamic rite &#8212; often without knowing it. Even <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/defence/10895029/Soldiers-not-told-they-are-eating-halal-meat.html">British forces</a> have been discovered to be subjected to the same treatment.</p>
<p>Now schools in the UK are increasingly becoming the battleground of a war between radical Islam and the hopeless, dhimmi British &#8220;authorities,&#8221; if this is the right term to use in the face of inaction.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not the only one to have thought of a military metaphor. In the media, an alleged Islamic plot to take over schools has become a &#8220;Trojan horse.&#8221;</p>
<p>A country in whose capital city the most popular baby name for boys is <a href="http://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/revealed-londons-top-20-most-popular-names-for-baby-boys-and-girls-9532511.html">Muhammad</a> and the fourth most popular is Mohammed is doomed.</p>
<p>The gradual but inevitable progression of Muslim demographics brings with it the <a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/as-muslim-population-grows-what-can-happen-to-a-society">equally inexorable</a> advancement of Islamic tactics becoming more and more aggressive and oppressive.</p>
<p>This is not the first time that the ongoing process of <a href="http://www.frontpagemag.com/2013/enza-ferreri/the-battle-of-the-burqa/">Islamization of British schools</a> has found its way into the news. Official inspections, Department of Education involvement, school authorities without answers &#8212; we’ve been here before and, I dare say, we’ll be here again.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s happening in British schools? We have to be clear here. Bear with me, as the saga is still unfolding and murky.</p>
<p>First, there is the current, run-of-the-mill management of many Muslim schools (publicly funded, of course) which <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-London/2014/06/12/Gender-Segregation-OK-Says-Ofsted">does nothing wrong</a>, according to the government’s education regulator Ofsted, except segregating boys and girls, “restricting” music and art classes although they are demanded by the national curriculum, requiring girls to wear headscarves &#8212; in short educating children according to the Islamic way of life.</p>
<p>I would contend that this is Islamization of schools through and through. But no, Ofsted says, these are all positive things, expressions of Muslim identity and faith.</p>
<p>So, the brouhaha is just about a number of schools that risk becoming “really” Islamized and are investigated as possible targets of an &#8220;Islamic takeover,&#8221; which goes even further.</p>
<p>“Operation Trojan Horse” has become the nickname of an organized attempt by Islamists to co-opt schools in England and run them according to Muslim beliefs.</p>
<p>It all started with a <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2583905/Forced-fanatics-Head-teachers-reveal-theyve-bullied-smeared-driven-jobs-resisting-Islamic-extremists.html">leaked letter</a>, whose authenticity is still in question, discovered in March 2014 and alleged to be from Islamists in Birmingham, central England &#8212; the second largest UK city, home to a great Muslim population &#8212; outlining <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-26482599">plans to take control</a> of schools there and possibly in other cities.</p>
<p>A month later Birmingham City Council said it had received hundreds of allegations of similar plots over a period of 20 years.</p>
<p>Investigations by Ofsted and the Education Funding Authority in 21 Birmingham schools did find <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-27763113">evidence of an orchestrated Islamist campaign</a> to target particular schools, and that head teachers had been &#8220;marginalised or forced out of their jobs.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/educationnews/10776607/Islamist-plot-six-schools-face-Ofsted-special-measures.html">Six schools</a> were placed in special measures after inspectors found systemic failings, including failure to take adequate steps to safeguard pupils against extremism. Thirteen more were found wanting. Ofsted’s investigations later expanded into schools in East London, Bradford and Luton, all areas with large Muslim populations.</p>
<p>But, typically, only 2 schools had their <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-27775709">funding terminated</a> by the government.</p>
<p>In the aftermath, Education Secretary Michael Gove said that all UK schools must promote &#8220;British values.&#8221;</p>
<p>The question, indeed the problem that has caused this whole crisis to develop, is that nobody seems capable of defining what British values are any more.</p>
<p>My bet is that, if Gove could provide a clear and precise definition of that concept, Birmingham schools would not have been the object of a concerted attempt of turning them into breeding grounds for Islamic terrorists in the first place.</p>
<p>British Prime Minister David Cameron, with the perfectly straight face of someone who’s taking his own words very seriously, has attempted to list some of these <a href="http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/normantebbit/100275737/trojan-horse-i-warned-about-this-years-ago/">elusive British values</a>: freedom, tolerance, respect for the rule of law, belief in personal and social responsibility, and respect for British institutions.</p>
<p>I’ll say that Islamic leaders will find no reason to object to any of those.</p>
<p>Cameron suggested &#8220;freedom.&#8221; Muslims see this as, for instance, freedom of religion, which in their case means <a href="http://www.enzaferreri.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/what-eid-teaches-moderate-muslims-kids.html">freedom to teach kids</a> how to cut fully-conscious animals&#8217; throats during the religious and family festival of Eid, and then progressing to teach them how to become suicide bombers (which is the problem now under investigation).</p>
<p>Another example of freedom is that of Muslim girls to wear what my friend Alex Boot calls <a href="http://alexanderboot.com/content/word-favour-religious-discrimination-schools">&#8220;the traditional Halloween garb”</a> even when it’s not Halloween.</p>
<p>Tolerance is very, very acceptable for Muslims: to them it means that we must tolerate whatever they do and say, without the need for them to reciprocate and tolerate us infidels.</p>
<p>Respect for the rule of law: They mean sharia law, of course, and they do respect it, without a doubt.</p>
<p>Belief in personal and social responsibility: The responsibility towards the Ummah, the wide community of all Muslims, is well understood and accepted by Mohammedans. That’s why Islamic charity is only directed at Muslims. Personal responsibility is also viewed favorably by Muslims, as shown by restraint in dress code, alcohol consumption, dietary limitations and so on.</p>
<p>Respect for British institutions may seem trickier at first sight, but not when you consider that they are planning to take over all these institutions, and they’ve already made a good start with schools. Once the aforementioned “British” institutions become what Muslims want them to be – an outcome that appears to be more certain by the day &#8212; they’ll have no problem in respecting them.</p>
<p>Cameron has fallen here into a little logical trap of circularity: you cannot use the <em>definiendum</em> – the word to be defined – in the <em>definiens</em> – the definition. You cannot explain Britishness with another reference to it.</p>
<p>But never mind. Cameron’s still achieved a remarkable feat: giving a definition of British values so generic and vague that we can all agree with it, in a great multicultural, multireligious (or, not be discriminatory, multi-non-religious), multiethnic feast.</p>
<p>Of course, in order to give flesh and real significance to the concepts he choses, he would have been forced to introduce taboo words, like, off the top of my head, “Christian.”</p>
<p>The reason why &#8220;British values&#8221; has become a concept without meaning is the same why the European Union cannot find a unifying factor for Europe.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve heard endless discussions on how we don&#8217;t know what Britishness is, or Europe for that matter.</p>
<p>But it&#8217;s obvious that, if you deny or remove the whole historical process that gave birth to &#8212; and the cultural foundations that sustain &#8212; the identity of a nation or part of the world, you end up with a shapeless, amorphous entity. You should then not be surprised that you cannot define it.</p>
<p>These days the dirty words that we cannot pronounce and therefore can&#8217;t be used to define us are &#8220;Judeo-Christian.&#8221;</p>
<p>Judeo-Christianity is what unifies Europe and what is at the core of Britain.</p>
<p>Britain is Christian. Its history demonstrates it, its Constitution confirms it.</p>
<p>If this had been recognized, Islam in Britain would not have been allowed to make the progress it has made.</p>
<p>The main characteristic and chief function of definitions is that they must be able to exclude as well as include. An all-inclusive definition means nothing.</p>
<p>The Latin word “definire,” from which the English terms with the same root derive, literally means “to delimit, to place a boundary or border around” something.</p>
<p>That’s why in today’s world, in which all must be included – literally <span style="color: #222222;">(haven&#8217;t we de facto abolished all borders?) </span>as well as metaphorically &#8212; to say or think something meaningful has become almost impossible, and when someone does it he risks imprisonment. Even more difficult is to do something that makes sense – as the British government wonderfully exemplifies.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/635156-1bc4c180-e478-11e3-b327-fc34ef98ae31.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-226273 alignleft" alt="635156-1bc4c180-e478-11e3-b327-fc34ef98ae31" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/635156-1bc4c180-e478-11e3-b327-fc34ef98ae31-450x303.jpg" width="315" height="212" /></a>&#8220;An earthquake&#8221; is how the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) described what happened Thursday May 22 when all Britain voted to elect its share of Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) and various parts of the country voted to elect local councils.</p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">While the results of the Euro Elections were not announced until Sunday to wait for the results of the whole European Union, where some countries voted later, the local election results were known immediately, and were pretty much as Nigel Farage, the UKIP leader, described them: an earthquake.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">In a country with a three-main-party system (Conservatives, Labour and Liberal Democrats), the UKIP became firmly established as the fourth party. It didn&#8217;t gain overall control of any local council, but that doesn&#8217;t tell the whole story.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Labour won 338 more councillors than it previously had, the Conservatives were down 231 councillors, the Liberal Democrats took a bashing losing 307, as many as 40 percent of their councillors, and UKIP went from two to an astonishing 163 councillors, turning from a fringe, tiny party into a serious contender for government.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">But it was last night, at the European Elections, that UKIP got a real triumph. Not only did it top the polls with more votes than all other parties for the first time in its history, but its victory also marked the first time in which a nationally-held election has not been won by either the Conservative Party or the Labour Party since 1906.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">This historical event upsets all the current paradigms of British politics. For a start, it makes it much more difficult to predict future election results, including the 2015 general elections for the British Parliament, the &#8220;real&#8221; polls that will decide who&#8217;s going to govern the UK.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">A three-party system is easier to understand and forecast than a four-party one. Without UKIP, Labour might have been cast as the next British government, benefiting from the dissatisfaction from the supposed &#8220;cuts&#8221; and &#8220;austerity&#8221; measures that the present coalition of Tories and Lib Dems in government had to enforce to heal at least in part the ruinously irresponsible economy and welfare policies of the past Labour administration.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Something similar happened in other parts of Europe, hence the BBC&#8217;s headline, &#8220;Eurosceptic &#8216;earthquake&#8217; rocks EU elections,&#8221; in reference to the parallel result of Marine Le Pen&#8217;s Front National which <a href="http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-27559714">won</a> a record victory in France. </span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Back in the UK, the Liberal Democrats were almost wiped out from the European Parliament, being left with just one MEP of the 11 they previously had. This is Catherine Zena Bearder, standing in the South East, the largest region in the UK, where my party, one-year-old Liberty GB, got 2494 votes.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">These results show a clear shift in public opinion towards a decidedly anti-immigration, anti-European-Union stance.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">The reaction of the (previously) three main parties and of the liberal media is interesting because it shows that they simply don&#8217;t get it.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">They cling to justifications, rationalizations, excuses, pedantic nitpicking, like &#8220;it hasn&#8217;t been an earthquake because UKIP has no control of a single council&#8221; or &#8220;it&#8217;s just a temporary protest vote. They&#8217;ll come back to us.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">The Lib Dems project onto the UKIP&#8217;s future what happened to them. The Lib Dems, never genuinely contemplating the possibility of being in government, were ruined by their experience in power, where they didn&#8217;t keep their utopian promises to the electorate. In an act of wishful thinking the Lib Dems predict that the same will happen to UKIP.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">My favorite is the reaction of Labour. Faithful to their Marxist heritage, they explain everything away with the economy. People on the doorstep tell us that they are not concerned about immigration per se, Labour says, but only about its economic consequences for jobs, wages, housing and so on.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">We&#8217;ll sort these things out, they continue, the usual Labour way: by wasting more of public money and increasing taxes.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">They don&#8217;t realize that no people &#8220;on the doorstep&#8221; will tell any Labour representative that they don&#8217;t want immigration for reasons of culture and identity, not just economics, lest they be considered racist by the aforementioned Labour person.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">And UKIP took votes from all parties, including Labour, whose traditional base of working-class voters got progressively dissatisfied with it.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">People who until now voted for the mainstream establishment parties &#8212; and people who didn&#8217;t vote at all &#8212; have decided to stop being silent and take action by choosing a party that says many of the things they think but cannot express.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">We all take great hope and encouragement from this trend.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">It took UKIP 20 years from its foundation to get to this point, and it struggled for recognition for a very long time.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">There was a time when a vote for UKIP was considered wasted, but it turned out to be instrumental in putting pressure on the Tories on the issue of leaving the European Union. There will be a time when voting for Liberty GB will put pressure on UKIP on the issue of the threat of Britain&#8217;s Islamization, on which Farage&#8217;s party has so far been persistently silent.</span></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/winton.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-225810" alt="winton" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/winton.jpg" width="300" height="225" /></a>A holocaust hero, Sir Nicholas Winton, turns 105 years old today, May 19, 2014.</p>
<p>Nicholas Winton, (originally Nicholas Wertheim), was born on May 19, 1909, in London.  He was born to German-Jewish parents who moved to England in 1907.  They changed their last name in order to assimilate, and later converted to Christianity.  They also had Nicholas baptized.</p>
<p>Winton was a highly educated man and became a London stockbroker.  At age 29, in 1938, he was planning to take a skiing vacation in Switzerland during the Christmas holiday, when he received a call from his friend Martin Blake telling him to cancel.  “Come to Prague; I have an interesting assignment and need your help”, Blake pleaded [paraphrasing].  Winton cancelled his trip and went to visit his friend, who was working with Jewish refugees.</p>
<p>Winton was appalled at the terrible treatment of the Jews.  He was already convinced that war was inevitable after the Nazis had annexed Sudetenland in October, 1928, in accordance with the Munich Pact.  He was certain that the rest of the country would follow.</p>
<p>After the November Kristallnacht, Jewish agencies set up a Kindertransport, enabling German and Austrian children to obtain safe haven in the UK.  But there was no such program for the children in Czechoslovakia.</p>
<p>Although the British House of Commons passed a law allowing families to enter the UK, it required them to pay a guarantee of 50 pounds per person for the cost of anticipated repatriation.  The fee amounted to a small fortune for many of the families who were so poor that they struggled to eat.  Those who couldn’t afford to relocate their entire family desired to at least secure their children, but nobody in Prague would allow children to leave by themselves.</p>
<p>Winton decided to set up a rescue operation, called, “The British Committee for Refugees from Czechoslovakia, Children’s Section”.  Originally, his office consisted of a dining room table in his hotel.  Families rushed to his office, often waiting in long lines, pleading with Winton to place their children on his list.  Later he moved his office to central Prague, where the committee consisted of him, his mother, a secretary, and a few volunteers to help.  They raised money to pay the 50 pound fees and the costs of transportation. Winton stayed at the new office for only a few weeks before appointing others to carry out the day-to-day operations while he returned to London to find the children homes.  He placed advertisements in British newspapers, churches and synagogues, often displaying photos of the children in order to make a greater appeal.  He contacted numerous countries asking them to accept the children but only the UK and Sweden responded.  Then, the British Home Office dilly-dallied in providing visas, believing no harm would come to Europe’s shores. Therefore, Winton’s office falsified the documents to expedite the process, which also increased the risks.</p>
<p>Beginning March 14, 1939, Winton’s operations began transporting children to their new homes, primarily in the UK.  The first group left by plane, and seven trains followed.  The last train, the largest group, with 250 children, never made it to safety.  Hitler invaded Poland that day, and all borders controlled by Germany were closed.  The children were never seen or heard from again, a vision that haunts Winton to this day.</p>
<p>However, to his credit, immediately prior to the war’s outbreak, Winton managed to save 669 children from certain death.  Virtually none of the siblings or parents that these children left behind survived the Holocaust.  Most were murdered in the Auschwitz concentration camp.</p>
<p>For decades, Winton kept his humanitarian efforts to himself.  When he married, he didn’t even tell his wife!</p>
<p>Then, one day in 1988, his wife Grete, was rummaging through their attic.  There, she found a scrapbook listing all the children Winton had saved, along with the names of their parents and the names of the homes to which they were sent.  After sending out letters, 80 of the survivors responded, confirming the story.  They became known as “Winton’s children.”</p>
<p>For 50 years, Winton’s children did not know who saved them nor had the world heard of Nicholas Winton.  Then, BBC had a viewing of the TV show “That’s Life!”.  Winton was invited to attend in the audience.  During the event, the host revealed Winton’s scrapbook and extolled his altruistic efforts.  The host announced that Vera Gissing was one of the people on Winton’s list and pointed her out in the audience, noting that she was seated next to Winton.  They were thrilled to meet each other.  Then, the host asked if there was anyone else in the room who owed their lives to Winton.  One by one, approximately 24 people stood and gave him a standing ovation.  Winton became teary-eyed.  It was the first time he had seen them since they were children during the war.</p>
<p>Today, over 5000 surviving progeny are alive due to Winton’s sacrifices.</p>
<p>Winton was subsequently knighted by Queen Elizabeth, is an honorary citizen of Prague, was made a Member of the British Empire and awarded the Merit Cross by the Minister of Defense of Czechoslovakia.  He also had an elementary school named after him in Czechoslovakia, a small planet named after him by astronomers, and thanks to a petition signed by 32,000 Czechoslovakian children, he was nominated as a Nobel Peace Prize candidate in 2008.  Additionally, several plays were written about him, as were three films and two documentaries including, “The Power of Good: the case of Nicholas Winton”, which won an Emmy award.</p>
<p>September 1, 2009 marked the 70<sup>th</sup> anniversary of the final train of the Czechoslovakian Kindertransport.  During the anniversary, a special “Winton Train” left the Prague train station and headed toward London.  It consisted of the original locomotive and carriages from the Kindertransport and travelled the Kindertransport route.  After the train departed, a statue of Winton was unveiled in his honor.  Aboard the train were many that Winton had saved, as well as their children and grandchildren.  When they arrived in London, they were greeted by Winton.</p>
<p>A total of 1.5 million children during the Holocaust were murdered in gas chambers, ovens, starved to death, heaped into mass graves (sometimes alive), and subjected to torturous diabolical “experiments”.  Over 15,000 of them were Jewish Czechoslovakian children.  Winton saved as many as possible from this fate.</p>
<p>Still, Winton maintains that his actions were commonplace and that he just did was the situation called for.  He insists that he’s not a hero.  But the rest of the world knows better.  He is known in Europe as “the British Schindler”.</p>
<p>Winton’s scrapbook and other documents can be found at Yad Vashem in Israel.  Winton is still alive and wears a ring given to him by some of the Winton children.  It’s inscribed with a line from the Talmud, which reads: “Save one life; save the world”.  He turns 105 years old today.  Happy Birthday, Sir Nicholas Winton!  May HaShem bless you and all the Winton’s children!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Old colonial powers turn to one another to maintain security in central Africa. ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/os.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-224935" alt="os" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/os-450x291.jpg" width="315" height="204" /></a>France’s role in Africa has changed in recent years.  To ensure that it is not perceived as – and does not conduct itself like – a neo-colonial power, its interventions in Africa have sought to accord with its own democratic values of respect for the rights of the people and for the rule of law, even in cases where this brings France into conflict with some African leaders who have become accustomed to a corrupt way of life.</p>
<p>In 1994, approximately one million people were slaughtered in the war crimes committed during the “Rwandan Genocide.” The shocking images of its atrocities increased recognition of responsibility in France and the West for preventing future humanitarian tragedies in Africa.</p>
<p>From a strategic perspective, any descent into chaos in Central Africa would also have consequences in North Africa, itself only a short distance from Europe’s southern shores. This is simply a modern-day application of the Eisenhower domino theory, without its counter arguments related to the occupation of countries by foreign forces: Today, local governments require time-limited Western military intervention to assist their own armed forces.</p>
<p>Combining a more enlightened role and modern strategic needs, Paris, thus currently favours brief UN-mandated military interventions to support African political solutions.  This is precisely the mission of France&#8217;s Operation Sangaris: to bolster the efforts of local armies and the African Union&#8217;s MISCA force in the CAR. However, due to severe financial constraints, France also needs Western and professional partners.</p>
<p>While the EU and the United States have been looked to for this role, inviting these two partners to join as the main contributors to peace-making in Central Africa may not be the most judicious choice. First, seeking military intervention from the EU outside of its borders strengthens its political status, and contributes to a corresponding decrease in the sovereignty of the various European nation-states by effectively ceding it new executive powers in an area that has hitherto been the preserve of the individual members.</p>
<p>Second, asking for financial and military assistance from the United States, the classic sponsor of such operations till 2008, fails to recognize what I have called the “US foreign policy Whirlfall” &#8212; a whirlpool generated by the US retreat from global interventions, reinforced by the windfall that America’s global rivals are reaping from US-imposed policy limitations on its allies. At a time of global retrenchment, President Obama is unlikely to engage in a new military mission in Africa.</p>
<p>Since the Fashoda Incident in 1898, when France and Britain faced off over their respective territorial claims in East Africa, and the signing of the Franco-British <i>Entente Cordiale</i> in 1904, it is Britain that has traditionally been France&#8217;s partner in Africa. With similar African histories, the two countries share the same democratic respect for the rule of law and human rights.  The British, too, understand that their role in Africa is to support the African people and governments, not to re-create a colonial empire.</p>
<p>The two countries already work closely in combating piracy and other maritime and coastal threats, and share human and electronic intelligence. But notwithstanding the British intelligence and logistical support provided for Operation Sangaris, the partnership has much greater potential, for Central Africa itself, as well as for the UK and France. Further, with its defense budget crippled, France has signaled its need for additional British involvement that would not only share the costs of the operation but also strengthen the operation&#8217;s effectiveness on the ground.</p>
<p>The British Armed Forces’ (BAF) operational capacity would offer more than simply logistical support. Expanded Royal Air Force operational missions could be flown in coordination with the French Air Force, while the British Army ground forces could contribute a few regiments of land personnel, both in operational and training roles.</p>
<p>Moreover, beyond the purely military dimension, the British offer an additional area of expertise, one that is critical to strengthening the establishment of civil societies that France is seeking to advance in Central Africa. With its excellent BAF education facilities, many of them affiliated with UK universities, the British have the ability to provide high-quality educational courses to the African armed forces that are in dire need of training to achieve greater efficiency and autonomy. These centres could also provide British academic training to relevant members of the region&#8217;s executive, legislative and judiciary branches, thereby sharing the financial burden of such training which France is now bearing alone. Such assistance would aid in the democratization process and support the regeneration of state institutions.</p>
<p>Britain&#8217;s failure to devote additional resources to stabilizing Central Africa would also be harmful to its future position in the region. Without greater UK involvement, France would remain financially strapped and politically isolated and would have no alternative but to lobby for the creation of a European task force and the implementation of “EUFOR RCA Bangui” approved in January 2014.</p>
<p>Is the UK willing to relinquish its national interests in Africa and cede still more of its national sovereignty by promoting Brussels’ influence?  The alternative is to make some adjustments to the severe budget cuts the British armed forces are facing and allow the UK Ministry of Defense to provide the French with a short-term increase in operational assistance.</p>
<p>With Britain under budgetary pressure, spending 150 million pounds a year – the approximate financial cost for this increased assistance – in an obscure and remote military enterprise whose outcome is uncertain, might seem like an unnecessary expense that should be avoided. Nevertheless, such expenditure would represent less than half a percent of the MoD&#8217;s annual budget.  As removed as Bangui may be from the British consciousness, it would be a small investment given the political, diplomatic, strategic and commercial dividends it will bring the UK in the years to come.  Dispatching a British brigade to the region would breathe new life into a partnership between two nations so famously committed to human dignity.  Surely this is reason enough for the UK to stand up and be counted.</p>
<p>Clearly, the main immediate beneficiaries would be the people of Central Africa who have suffered so much for so long. Assisting the French in Central Africa would represent a clear fulfillment on a humanitarian obligation.  Yet it would also keep France from becoming pushed into a corner in which it would be at the mercy of Brussels.  Finally, it would put London &#8220;on the map”, very close to what Winston Churchill described as the “Pearl of Africa”. British support for Sangaris is thus intrinsic to the UK&#8217;s modern global ethos.</p>
<p>Fashoda is approximately a century and 1,500 kilometers away from Operation Sangaris’s arena. Should the UK be supporting the MISCA and the French?  “To be or not to be” – there really is no question.</p>
