“The memorial will be a physical reminder of how people of all faiths make an impact working together and can continue to do so despite the challenges of those who attempt to divide our society.”
Yeah, hey, that’s swell. Now: will the British government ever acknowledge that there are some Muslims in the UK who “attempt to divide our society,” or is that something that only infidels can do? In fact, when non-Muslims have pointed out Muslim attempts to “divide our society,” the British government has responded by accusing the very people who are calling attention to the unpopular truths of attempting to “divide our society.” Meanwhile, the Muslims in Britain who are attempting to “divide our society” are coddled and appeased, as the government fondly hopes that this will make them happily become part of their splendid multicultural mosaic. They’re in for a rude awakening, of course, and when it comes in the form of an Islamic jihad massacre, they will learn nothing, and once again blame the “Islamophobes.”
“Chancellor announces £1 million towards memorial for Muslim soldiers,” by Aine Fox, Independent, March 6, 2024:
One million pounds will be given towards the cost of building a memorial to honour the Muslims who died in the First and Second World Wars “in the service of freedom and democracy”, the Chancellor has said.
As he began his Budget speech on Wednesday, Jeremy Hunt vowed that past sacrifices made by those who lost their lives – no matter their faith, colour or class – will not be forgotten.
His Conservative colleague Sir Sajid Javid had asked last month how the Government, given its previous support for memorials honouring others, would help with a proposal to establish a memorial at the National Memorial Arboretum honouring an estimated 750,000 Muslims who have fought for British armed forces.
Mr Hunt told the Commons: “As we mourn the tragic loss of life in Israel and Gaza, the Prime Minister reminded us last week of the need to fight extremism and heal divisions.
“So I start today by remembering the Muslims who died in two world wars in the service of freedom and democracy….
“Whatever your faith or colour or class, this country will never forget the sacrifices made for our future.”…
Sir William Blackburne, chairman of the trust, said…“Our project coincides with the widespread re-evaluation of colonial history and the role Muslims play in a dynamic and changing modern Britain….
“The memorial will be a physical reminder of how people of all faiths make an impact working together and can continue to do so despite the challenges of those who attempt to divide our society.”

So, where is the memorial for the Hindu and Sikh soldiers who fought for their British “colonial mastahs” in WWII?
Over two and a half million Indians “volunteered” to take up arms for their British colonial rulers in support of the Allies. They fought in the mountains of Burma, the hills of Italy, and the deserts of North Africa. If the muslims “amounted” to 750,000 soldiers, it leads me to conclude that there were 1.75 Million Hindu and Sikh soldiers.
FYI says
Too true.On a side note i often wonder about modern dramas;are there Buddhist,Hindu,Sikh detectives?Apparently they have to be muslim,that supremacist cult that gets special consideration over all other religions.
muslims/leftists seem to forget that there are actually OTHER religions in the world.
It would be nice and interesting to have..

But the muslims have to come first don’t they?.. and the media are Lefties.I would like to see some dramas about Sikhs and Hindus.but that RED-GREEN axis is a problem.

Hear, hear! Well said, sir!

Many better uses for the money. As noted above, better to represent Hindu and Sikh soldiers. Another they’ve ignored is Lee Rigby, who returned home safely only to be slaughtered in the street by a muslim and who now gets only a plaque. Third possibility, all the homeless veterans sleeping rough while they 5-star hotel the boaties. And why now, when the streets are jammed with hamas? We know why. It’s to force one more round of evil down the public’s throat.
Tony Rice says
Well said H P, and where’s the memorial to Jewish soldiers ?
Hoi Polloi says
Good one, Mr. Rice.

You can’t do that muslims will be offended. Can’t have that.
tgusa says
They must be worried. The pandermen have ratcheted up their efforts. I will say that it is first class groveling. How pathetic and transparent can they get?
somehistory says
And the memorial can include mention of this mozlum “soldier.”

Disproportionate over representation isn’t equality
IT’S RACISM

What about the 1,000s of Palestinian Muslims who fought for Adolf Hitler because he promised that when he had finished with the Jews in Europe he would turn his attention to the Jews in Palestine.
Rufolino says
Nothing but appeasement !
Completely unnecessary.
Our war memorials have never excluded Moslems, or other national groups such as the Jews.

Will it depict the muslim “soldiers” fondness for two on one rape? Just curious. This is a matter or historical record, acted out all around the globe.

Most, or all, Muslim countries, the Muslim Brotherhood, and the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Hajj Amin al Husseini, who was the founder of the Arab “Palestinian” movement, and who was the mentor of Yasser Arafat, sided with Hitler and Nazi Germany during World War II. Hajj Amin al Husseini was a confidant of Adolf Hitler, and he resided in Germany as a Nazi official during World War II, he created Nazi Muslim SS divisions in the Balkans, he broadcasted Islamic pro-Nazi genocidally anti-Jewish radio programs to all of the countries in the Middle East from the shortwave radio station, Radio Zeesen, in Germany, and he was the colleague of Adolf Eichmann, and, with him, he was the co-administrator of the Nazi “Final Solution.”
Georgians says
This is nothing more than idiotic appeasement.
