Scotland continues funding Muslim Brotherhood

Scots wha hae wi' Wallace -- or in this case, David Hume and Adam Ferguson -- bled.

Right on, Ian Stewart!

Comment #19 on that thread is quite good and #20 is... revealing.

Did you catch the spam comment which appears all over the Internet, posted by "Iftikhar"?

Oh yeah, they blend.

Muslim youths are angry, frustrated and extremist because they have been mis-educated and de-educated by the British schooling. Muslim children are confused because they are being educated in a wrong place at a wrong time in state schools with non-Muslim monolingual teachers. They face lots of problems of growing up in two distinctive cultural traditions and value systems, which may come into conflict over issues such as the role of women in the society, and adherence to religious and cultural traditions. The conflicting demands made by home and schools on behaviour, loyalties and obligations can be a source of psychological conflict and tension in Muslim youngsters. There are also the issues of racial prejudice and discrimination to deal with, in education and employment. They have been victim of racism and bullying in all walks of life. According to DCSF, 56% of Pakistanis and 54% of Bangladeshi children has been victims of bullies. The first wave of Muslim migrants were happy to send their children to state schools, thinking their children would get a much better education. Than little by little, the overt and covert discrimination in the system turned them off. There are fifteen areas where Muslim parents find themselves offended by state schools.

The right to education in one’s own comfort zone is a fundamental and inalienable human right that should be available to all people irrespective of their ethnicity or religious background. Schools do not belong to state, they belong to parents. It is the parents’ choice to have faith schools for their children. Bilingual Muslim children need state funded Muslim schools with bilingual Muslim teachers as role models during their developmental periods. There is no place for a non-Muslim teacher or a child in a Muslim school. There are hundreds of state schools where Muslim children are in majority. In my opinion, all such schools may be designated as Muslim community schools. An ICM Poll of British Muslims show

I've seen this cut-n-paste everywhere. Notice the typical (and wrongful) appropriation of our legal terminology to suit the goals of Islamic supremacism, creeping sharia, and bigotry against all non-Muslims. And note further their can-do spirit when it comes to posting it in every forum in which the topic of Islam arises.

Josephine caught it. It's comment #20.

There's nothing like x-treme intolerance being clothed, however unadroitly, as tolerance. Fools leftist morons every time.

Tell me again what the point of Scottish self-determination and its own legislature was, since these Scottish politicians seem just as treasonous and dismissive of the Scottish people's will as the English.
Politicians need some codes to keep them on "the right path" (ours, not the Islamo-terrorists!!). May I suggest:

Personally, I find it quite offputting when groups like these don't seem to be able to differentiate Islam from harmless religions. We can hardly cheer their indiscretion, without realizing we are targeted next.

I won't be listening to Pat Condell anymore, for example, since discovering his rants about Christianity to be not substantively different, and nearly interchangeable with his rants about Islam. They are all in the same category as Rosie O'Donnell; they don't actually get it. They are only amusing, and that only when all you hear is the part you agree with. I appreciate that JW is a big tent, but supporting groups and individuals like these is no different than the U.S. support of Pakistan, a pretty sorry, back-stabbing ally.

And if the "Atheist Scotland" finds such scrutiny offensive to his "sacred" beliefs, I make no apology for this.

max look at the make up of the scottish legislature
its like the old days when lairds in scotland had as many english titles and lands as they did scotish so like today there was no intresest among te rulers in a Independent Scotland

I agree with much of what Ian Stewart says. Every religion should be open to scrutiny, ridicule and condemnation. This is especially true when the name of a religion is incorparated into a political party. Islam is of course a political party.

The only thing I disagree with the author is his assertion about the "Scottish enlightenment" as if the Scots are somehow special and had their own enlightenment. They are not and they did not.

Since Our Hugh, Himself, has mentioned David Hume, here is what David Hume had to say on the subject of Islam, and Islamic ethics or lack thereof, in a splendidly lapidary paragraph, originally unearthed and shared by a poster here on jihadwatch:


"But would we know, whether the pretended prophet [Mohammed] had really attained a just sentiment of morals?

"Let us attend to his narration; and we shall soon find, that he bestows praise on such instances of treachery, inhumanity, cruelty, revenge, bigotry, as are utterly incompatible with civilized society.

"No steady rule of right seems there to be attended to; and every action is blamed or praised, so far only as it is beneficial or hurtful to the true believers." 


- David Hume (1711-1776) "Of the Standard of Taste: Paragraph 4" (1757)

Much thanks to 'Rublev' for discovering and sharing this gem, which deserves to be much more widely known and reflected upon, especially in Mr Hume's native Scotland.

I think you mean:

Subjecting the whole of humanity to Islam..."is a fundamental and inalienable human right that should be available to all people irrespective of their ethnicity or religious background."

Islam deserves equal rights; including the right to subject non-Muslims and non-Islamic cultures to Islam.

All religions should be open to scrutiny...except for our beloved Spencerdanism, the assorted revelations given to us by our Unholy Antiprophet Robert Spencer (published bestsellers upon him). Faliure to comply will lead to beaheading or worst of all the deletion of your account.

Resistance is futile
