From icBirmingham, with thanks to Ali Dashti:
Police officers from South Yorkshire and Merseyside were gathering at Birmingham Central Mosque to share ideas about the best way of strengthening ties with Muslim communities.West Midlands Police said visiting officers would meet leaders of the Mosque in Highgate to learn about work undertaken locally to forge links with its members.
The officers would also sit in on morning prayers.
PC Anthony Fisher, based at Digbeth police station, said he hoped the visit would highlight the benefits of good communication.
He said: "Our relationship with the Mosque started through our policing of traffic and parking in the area during the busy Friday morning prayers but has developed a great deal since.
"Officers have been liaising with the Mosque for about 18 months which has helped us to form a link. Someone is now continually in touch with the Mosque."
He added: "We're hoping to send a positive message to other police forces across the country, showing that communication with Asian or other ethnic minority communities is beneficial for both parties."
May I sugesst the UK police, tools of the elitist, sell-Out British bureaucracy, send their "thought" enforcers here to the US to CAIR for "Sensitivity training"?
Truly disgusting. The whole situation makes me think of fattened pigs being led to the slaughter. I get visions of Eurocrats and Islamofascists scheming to trade Europe for oil and prestige. Wake up, you bastards! They're taking your country from under your bloody feet!

One hopes that the Birmingham police in fact "do the police in different voices" and that the appalling effort reported above is part of a carefully-crafted campaign of pretend-yielding, cunning efforts to let the local Muslims think that the Infidels are remarkably innocent and stupid.
And then one looks at the evidence in London and elsewhere in the United Kingdom, and all over Europe, where the tone of appeasement is set, both from the top down, and from the bottom up, and even sideways, in chanceries and in local police stations, in the Vatican and from the local priests and ministers, in ministries of education (the new syllabi that carefully include units on Islam and the "Islamic contribution to Europe" etc.) and in the acts of individual teachers (time to celebrate the Birth of Little Red Riding Hood, etc.).
It is everywhere, on all sides, from all directions. Lewis Carroll's Humpty Dumpty provides a gloss on "Jabberwocky" ("Twas brillig, and the slithy toves, did gyre and gimble in the wabe/All mimsy were the borogoves/and the mome raths outgrabe."), and this is the way, I recall, that the word "wabe" was explained: it is the area around a sundial, you see, because it is "a way before, and a way behind, and a way beyond in both directions."
Dhimmitude, pre-emptively assumed or pushed or yielded to all over Europe, is like that "wabe" --"a way before, and a way behind, and a way beyond, in both directions."
In this fantasy-land that is being constructed by the fools who rule us instead of instructing and protecting us, who could do it all greater justice than Charles Dodgson of Christ Church and Christ Church Meadows?
Lewis Carroll, thou shouldst be living at this hour.
In one French translation of "Jabberwocky," the word "wabe" was, I recall, translated as "alloinde," as Humpty Dumpty says, "parce que c'est loin devant, et loin derriere, et loin de chaque cote." So, for the French contingent, the same observations remain, and in the silent-film version, with the girl flailing about in the water, the title will come on as the piano-roll furiously turns and the keys go up and down: "Monsieur Lewis Carroll, au secours, ou, Marianne sauvee des eaux," which waters, mind you, are those of the Mediterranean that is in the crazed world-view of Gilles Kepel, Olivier Roy, D. de V., Le Monde, RFI, Canal Cinq, the only thing standing in the way of the natural harmony of Europe and the world of Islam (beginning with the Maghreb), the "deux rives" of which we hear so much, and which will be united in holy matrimony by that welcome and enriching and altogether wonderful growing Muslim presence, fixing to make this marriage of convenience, as the Muslims see it, the ticket to a permanent carte de sejour in the Bilad al-Kufr which will, in turn, become more Muslim, more full of mosques with minarets, and madrasas, and Qur'an-maddened imams.
Before pronouncing a couple "man and wife," the minister looks around the room and asks if anyone objects to this alliance, and ends:
"Speak now or Forever Hold Your Peace."
Well, many may want to object to this marriage of Europe and Arabia. Poor little Europe is allowing itself to be railroaded into it, and doesn't know how, at this point, to say no. But the guests are moving about uneasily, shuffling, coughiing, talking among themselves. Now one hears a French-inflected voice -- Bat Ye'or in the back. And over there, wearing the clothes of an Anglican minister, and with Urdu-inflected English, is Patrick Sookhdeo. And here is Hans Jansen speaking in Dutch. And some fiery high-cheekbonated Italian woman: Oriana. And now Charles Moore, and Will Cummins, and Alain Finkielkraut, and Claude Gilliot and Yvan Rioufol, and -- now the whole room is becoming noisy. Everyone is objecting, except the smoldering bridegroom and his family, all of them sitting in one corner, the women all wearing hijabs and the men bearded, and just look at how the expression on Tariq Ramadan's face has changed from that fixed smile to barely-suppressed and murderous fury.
Pandemonium has broken out. This ceremony is over -- there will be no wedding. There has been a last-minute change of plans.
Yes, Leveller, these quislings are truly disgusting and I consider them even more evil than Muzzies. They should be sown into a sack and thrown into the Tiber.
But, as I've posted before, decadent Western Europeans elites and leftists are just Eloi. They will consistenly blind themselves to the evil intentions of their destroyers even to the point in time when their severed heads detach from their bodies. [If you doubt this, just read the editorial that Nicolas Berg's father wrote about the men who cut off his son's head. It's like the butchers were just mislead youths and George Bush was the one to blame!]
At the end of European civilization that I imagine, indigenous Europeans will go either to the Mosques for conversion or to the slaughterhouses [modified for human beings, or infidels]. I can fully understand why Euro-Muzzies have contempt for the Western European cultures in which they find themselves. First, thhe Koran commands them to hate infidels and second, they find that the infidels hate their own culture and heritage or at least they are commanded to hate themselves and their own culture by the secular high priests in government, academia, the media as well as what's left of the European clergy. Muzzies in Euroland receive a double-dose of anti-infidel propaganda in Europe. And while the Euro-Muzzies are busy wallowing in their contempt for infidel culture, why not rape a few non-hajib-wearing European girls to express contempt for the whole populace?
Birmingham Central Mosque needs policing badly. They harbour an unfortunate sneak thief, some light-fingered tea leaf with a penchant for condolence books. Those for Ken Bigley and the Commuters of Madrid spring to mind.
