There is a "reluctance to co-operate with the police on the part of some universities that did not want to be seen to be 'spying' on their students'," but there is also a reluctance to acknowledge the content of Islamic texts and traditions, including the Qur'an itself, in the first place. "University campuses are 'hotbeds of Islamic extremism'," by Duncan Gardham for the Telegraph, April 28 (thanks to JG):
Islamic fundamentalism is being allowed to flourish at universities, endangering national security, MPs and peers said yesterday.
Academics are turning a blind eye to radicals because they do not want to spy on students, a report claimed.
Despite "damning evidence" of a serious problem, little progress had been made in tackling the unsustainable situation, the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Homeland Security said.
They urged the Government to tackle the issue on campuses with "utmost urgency".
Such extremism "endangers our security at home and has international implications that are serious enough to threaten our alliance relationships", said the group, which includes the former home secretary Lord Reid.
Secret files obtained by The Daily Telegraph and WikiLeaks disclosed this week that at least 35 terrorists held at Guantánamo Bay were indoctrinated by extremists in Britain.
The leaked documents, written by senior US military commanders, illustrated how Britain effectively became a crucible of terrorism over the course of two decades.
The parliamentary group was set up two years ago to carry out research into homeland security issues.
Its inaugural report comes after a separate inquiry by the umbrella organisation for universities earlier this year said animal rights extremists posed a greater problem than Islamist radicals.
Universities UK, which represents vice-chancellors, said it could do very little about extremism on campus. Instead it issued new guidance on the importance of freedom of speech. Their report followed the attempt by Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, a former student at University College London, to blow himself up using a bomb in his underpants as a flight came in to land at Detroit on Christmas Day, 2009.
Abdulmutallab, an engineering student, was the Islamic Society president from 2006 to 2007.
The parliamentarians' report said Britain's homeland security strategy failed to address in sufficient detail how to tackle the threat of extremism at universities, how to strengthen businesses' ability to deal with a terrorist attack and how to ensure security over the internet.
The report said some universities and colleges had become sites where extremist religion and radicalism could flourish "beyond the sight of academics".
They also noted that there was a "reluctance to co-operate with the police on the part of some universities that did not want to be seen to be 'spying' on their students"....
Say what you will about the Brits, at least their press seems to be reporting on the Muslim menace. It's hard to imagine a U.S. "mainstream" media outlet being this candid.

Mr Sanity:
Here is an example of the type of superimposition I was talking about. It lacks the counter clockwise rotation and randomness in my idea. http://www.fotosearch.com/ABL003/011204_1195_0004_l__s/
I have a ton of new suggestions there for the back cover and a minor change for the front cover on the Godzilla story thread. I think we should "to and fro" there to save my head. Ive got a good rallying name for England. You were right about the back cover being tougher than the front.
It would seem that 'Jolly Ole England ' is not that jolly anymore...Jolly is haram...
Note to self: don't bother studying engineering at University College London

sure...when you know trouble is afoot, sticking your head in the sand always works...
Yes, but now that they have put their roots down it is not going to be a simple matter. It is going to neccesitate some unequivocally hard bargaining.
Someone recently asked me why we cannot win over those islamists that come to our shores and with their own eyes see first hand how a secular society works. The following was my answer to him.
"The very essence of Western culture is founded on the ability of the individual to affect his future and to have a direct impact on his own well being. The West’s mythology is based on the lone frontiersman making his way in the wilderness, working hard and achieving success. The concept here prevails that anyone with a little bit of effort can carve a good and successful life out for himself. The understanding that one has responsibility for his own efforts and his own success is ingrained in the way we think. Think of Clint Eastwood or John Wayne as the tall silent type that is slow to anger, considers his actions before hand and only gets angry when pushed to the limit. We see strength in the strong silent type; one who does not scream with the mob but stands on his own two feet.
Combined with this fierce independence is the belief that one should not impose ones beliefs on others that what one holds dear by way of religion is a personal code that everyone is entitled to.
The West encourages its children to question authority to think for themselves, to express their individuality and grow and learn, to tolerate this “code” above and to abide by the golden rule. Western parents will generally (as in all things) keep tight reins on their children when they are young and will loosen those reins as the children mature and obtain more wisdom and ability to handle the freedom.
Now let’s look at islam. In islam everything is preordained. In effect nothing happens without it being the will of allah and every phrase uttered is followed by the phrase “allah willing”. What this evidences is that there is no self-determination. If I am rich, it is because allah proscribed it, if I am poor then so be it. The net result of this is that I have no culpability for my behavior. Therefore if something bad happens, I am not at fault and it must be because of the actions of others. The others are Christians and Jews or as the koran states “Apes and Pigs”. The Koran which Geert Wilders has described correctly as a piece of hate literature, blames everyone else for all that is evil in the world and hold only muslims in esteem - everyone else is an Infidel. The koran requires rejection of the Golden Rule (it is after all Christian nonsense) and believes at its heart that there is no need to accommodate others as islam is the “ONLY” religion. Everything is always the infidels fault and other religions need to be crushed. There is simply NO self reflection in islam – it does not happen! Only islam commands respect and it gives absolutely none to anyone or anything else. The fundamental declaration of human rights as proscribed by the United Nations has not found support in one muslim country on the planet because it flies in the face of this belief.
Now take a look at how children are treated in the Middle East. We have all seen pictures of the little kids marching around in soldier’s uniforms brandishing weapons and reciting the koran. The lessons they learn at a very early stage indoctrinate them into this belief system. Kids as young as three or four are memorizing the koran and reciting it by heart (even though it is written in Arabic and they don’t understand what it says). Education consists entirely or principally of learning the koran and accepting it as the immutable word of allah- beyond question, beyond doubt, beyond criticism All other forms of education are diminished by the misogynistic teachings of a lunatic that lived in the seventh century. Boys in muslim communities are at a very early age taught that they are superior to the infidel (and their own mothers and sisters) and given free rein to behave as they wish. Any public school teacher in Brampton Ontario could tell you very clearly that this is the case. As they get older though the community starts to put more pressure on them to conform with the mantras of islam and the pressure starts to build as the mosques further delineate the superiority of the muslim to the infidel. Girls well they are chattel and will do as they are told.
Now recognize that self reflection is not a part of the islamic makeup and you begin to understand why mob violence is so prevalent. To an islamist someone that does not stand and scream at every offence and gather in mobs and yell clearly is clearly weak of faith. The tall silent type that we respect is considered a weakling. Any concession the West gives to islam is treated as a lack of faith in our own system and clear evidence that islam is superior. Every concession demands more and we now see a political movement to make even mild criticism of islam illegal.
Not everyone is raised in the middle east you say - Well the pressure at a tribal or community level is HUGE and even those that might be considered “moderate” dare not oppose the teachings because to even question the koran is to risk being labeled an apostate and be subject to execution. We are talking about islam here not individual muslim and yes I believe that not all muslims are bad people or out to destroy our western secular democracy however if I may quote.
“We are told again and again that Islam is the “religion of peace” and that the vast majority of Muslims just want to live in peace. Although this unqualified assertion may be true, it is entirely irrelevant. It is meaningless fluff, meant to make us feel better and meant to somehow diminish the specter of fanatics rampaging across the globe in the name of Islam.
The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this moment in history. It is the fanatics who march. It is the fanatics who wage any one of 50 shooting wars worldwide. It is the fanatics who systematically slaughter Christian or tribal groups throughout Africa and are gradually taking over the entire continent in an Islamic wave. It is the fanatics who bomb, behead, murder, or honor-kill. It is the fanatics who take over mosque after mosque. It is the fanatics who zealously spread the stoning and hanging of rape victims and homosexuals. It is the fanatics who teach their young to kill and to become suicide bombers”
With this background, the unwillingness of islamists in the West to assimilate or even tolerate a secular democracy, is it any wonder that second and third generation North American muslims are susceptible to terrorism – Where is the internal moral code to prevent that from happening? No, islamists are here as settlers not as immigrants they have stated time and time again that they want the west to adopt sharia and it is their goal to make the entire world into the same kind of islamic cesspool they all left behind – we will find NO allies in second third fourth or fifth generation North American muslims and unless something is done now we face a coming dark ages.
So there you have it islam is a an all encompassing misogynistic political system that in reality is a cult disguised as a religion – it brooks No tolerance and demands and commands its followers to rule by the sword.
“islamophobia is a word that liberals and leftists love to use to encompass anyone that dares criticize this man made belief system - I however am scared to death of islamofacism and absolutely defend our right to point this out to a world locked in disbelief and stupidity.
We should NOT tolerate that which is intolerable – that is not racism it is common sense!!
Someone recently asked me why we cannot win over those islamists that come to our shores and with their own eyes see first hand how a secular society works. The following was my answer to him.
That was an excellent answer, Toro!
Let us hope that you -- and we -- have the stomach for the kind or bargaining that is eventually going to be necessary.
Hello Papa Whiskey and London Jim:
I like your euphemisms.
Hello Toro:
Very nice work. I have saved this to my file for material for "Islam For Dhimmis". I am sure it will inspire a cartoon or two with a powerful message. When Mr Sanity and I have a lock on the front and back covers we will move to the next phase which will be open to all JWers. Mr Sanity has been doing very important for "Project Dhimmi", an ACTION initiative by JWers for islamoloathes and islamophobes everywhere. I know that when this project is completed, I will not only be thanking all ACTIVE contributors but also those whose posts provided inspiration for pages in the book. Thank you again.

Robert - these double postings seem to be a Typepad problem?
"If I am rich, it is because allah proscribed it, if I am poor then so be it."
"The fundamental declaration of human rights as proscribed by the United Nations has not found support in one muslim country on the planet because it flies in the face of this belief."
---------------------------------------------------------
Proscribed? (Is this a typo?)
I'm sorry, I'm not a native English speaker. I just want to make sure I get the meaning right.
Hello MBR. You said,
"Robert - these double postings seem to be a Typepad problem?"
It could be JINN. To avoid that problem I have quite successfully done this.
Hit submit, do a slow count to 25, hit the refresh button on your browser and wait a couple of seconds and your post should appear.
If you time out, hit the back button on your browser. When you get back to your comment hit the refresh button your browser. Hopefully, the bug or Jinn will be found.
Talking about problems. Jewdog did a post. I replied with an extract from his comment and then added my own. Jewdog's post later disappeared. On pokermutt and Jewdog, I said, "It looks like JINN. They're unto us dogs."
Brilliant essay, Toro.
You see eye-to-eye with Danish psycologist Nicolai Sennels:
"Muslims and Westerners: The Psychological Differences"
Most of JW's have probably read his article, if not, it's here:
http://www.newenglishreview.org/custpage.cfm/frm/63122/sec_id/63122"
BTW in notorious USSR individuality was also suppressed, by all possible means.
"Individualism" was kind of a swearword.
We also had to follow the "word of allah (aka Marx and Lenin, in our case) - beyond question, beyond doubt, beyond criticism".
All these diabolical ideologies have a lot of things in common.
The only difference is that Communist system was confined within certain borders - outside the West- back then, and now you let this cancer grow within your society. Which, in my opinion, makes it impossible to cure without a surgical operation, whatever it may be.
Hi, Mr poker (mutt-ending doesn't look fair), it's an interesting project you are launching.
At least somebody started doing something!
I just couldn't figure out what ads you want us to click on (I haven't noticed any) -?
Ladgarun
Yes it was an error it should have read "willed" in the first instance and "proposed" in the second
Too much of a hurry to get it all down I suppose
Don't worry too much about the ads, it is a free hosting site I use, but every click helps keep it free so I guess is welcome :~)
Pokermutt, I have replied in the godzilla thread, and have bookmarked it for continued discussion to stop spamming other threads
Hello Nina:
Thank you. Maybe your "nom de guerre" Nina, will make it to the back cover; it is a work-in-progress and will soon be a lock. I and Mr Sanity are re-inforcing Islamoloathes, Islamophobes, and unwitting dhimmis to make the latter into Islamoloathes and Islamophobes. We, Jwers and JW will make money for the war chest and gather multitudes to our cause. Then we will start serious political action. We also intend to expose traitorous and treasonous dhimmis. You will hear more soon.
Ooops.
"and unwitting dhimmis to make the latter into Islamoloathes and Islamophobes."
should be
"and TARGETING unwitting dhimmis to make the latter into Islamoloathes and Islamophobes."
WUI:
"and TARGETING unwitting dhimmis to make them into Islamoloathes and Islamophobes."
Somebody seems to be speaking out....have not seen this in mainline publications though...
http://www.indolink.com/displayArticleS.php?id=042711081823
[London, Apr 27 (PTI) Abhijit Pandya, an Indian-origin candidate for the Leicester South byelection, has sparked fury by making critical remarks about Islam in his blog less than a week before the May 5 elections.
Pandya, 31, is the candidate for the UK Independence Party, which is opposed to Britain's membership of the European Union.
In 2010, the party polled 3.1 per cent of the votes, did not win any seat but was the fourth largest party in terms of the popular vote.
On his blog, Pandya called Islam "morally flawed and degenerate" and said he backed Geert Wilder, a controversial Dutch politician who allegedly called Islam a retarded ideology.
The byelection was caused by the resignation of Peter Soulsby of the Labour Party, who stood down from Parliament to contest the election for Mayor of Leicester. ]
I hope he gets elected. Wouldn't that be one in the eye for the Mohammedans? A hated *Hindu* seated in Parliament...the various Muslim MPs and Peers would be gnashing their teeth.
I think the Mohammedans' worst nightmare is to find themselves facing serried ranks of grim-faced native Brits shoulder to shoulder with equally grim-faced Sikhs and Gurkhas. (And maybe the Christian blacks in the UK - some of whom have been on the receiving end, in the UK, of Mohammedan contempt for black people, millions of whom were murdered and enslaved in the course of 1200 years of Jihad conquest in Africa - will be there too; and Copt emigres - who do not want their place of refuge and relative freedom to become what their homeland Egypt has become - and Catholic Polish immigrants channelling Jan Sobieski).
Thanks for that encouraging bit of news Ajack. Abhijit Pandya seems like a brave and worthy fellow. The power of good to him for being so forthright especially in the arena of politics, a refreshing change from the mealy-mouthed PC drivel that we're used to hearing from politicos here in the UK.
@Toro. . . Fantastic essay mate. Would make a resounding speech.
. .and from the article in the 'Indo' we see again that mere comments of fact ''sparked fury''. Jaws sprang to mind, and the similarity in nature of the shark and the Muhammedan. .ladle a bit of chum into the water, and hey-presto, a fin appears and a feeding-frenzy ensues.
. .and on the subject of frenzies, I always remember from my childhood the Commando pocket-magazines, and how the artists captured so vividly the expressions on the faces of the Arab going loco. You'll have to delve around for specific examples, but here's the main link:

The sad fact is that the left wing in my country truly believe that they are striking a blow by allowing all a say. What they are actually doing is being used by a group who will snuff them out in an instance once they are done with them. They will then snuff out all those the left wingers claim they stand up for. It is a ridiculous irony.
