The truth is beginning to get out. From David Penberthy in the Daily Telegraph, with thanks to JS:
HERE'S a challenge for swimwear designers. Britain's advertising watchdog last week banned a series of television commercials featuring bikini-clad women because they were offensive to Muslims.Stand by for the burqini, a fetching one-piece ensemble made entirely of black hessian, measuring 2m in length and equipped with a small vent through which women can stick their snorkel.
Also in Britain, the Fox network has agreed to demands from the Muslim Council of Britain for talks over a BSkyB drama depicting middle class Muslims as members of a terrorist sleeper cell. Just where do television executives dream up such fantasy?
Unless they were aiming for an accurate account of that September 11 hiccup, where middle class Muslims who were members of a terrorist sleeper cell murdered 3000 innocent people....
In Britain, the cancer of political correctness seems all the more malignant, fuelled perhaps by the fabled determination of the Brits to be unfailingly polite.
As a result, the country looks through Australian eyes like a multicultural worst-case scenario, where befuddled Poms tie themselves up in knots to address all sorts of ludicrous grievances and in doing so undermine the values which have made this country a beacon for democracy and free expression throughout the civilised world.
The above cases are almost comical. The biggest story of this past week involves a particularly nasty scumbag by the name of Omar Bakri Mohammed.
Read it all. It's a good take on the infamous Bakri.

Great article.
Stand by for the burqini, a fetching one-piece ensemble made entirely of black hessian, measuring 2m in length and equipped with a small vent through which women can stick their snorkel.
Hilarious, but true! Accompanying this will almost certainly be demands by the Muslim community for segregated beaches and public swimming pool areas. When that is granted, they will move on to trains, buses, and "hijab class" on commercial flights. Sharia, here we come!

Poor Britain.
Is anyone in the country going to stand up to this removal of your rights?

Just think, we went through the sexual revolution of the Sixties to come to this. Now we can't even show bikini's anymore.
Muslims will drag us back to the 19th century.

19th Century?
Even the Victorians were more libral...!
This is just another step towards the Islamic Isles.

Next thing they will demand is that kilts are to be banned in Scotland.

The pious Muslims should just turn off the jinn-box if they are offended by it.

I read the whole article, where it talks about that Bakri parasite. It makes me sick that such disgusting garbage is allowed to share in what good people have built up and worked for. Bakri and similar ilk, of which there are far too many, do not deserve a single penny. Nor do they deserve the right to enjoy the freedoms and benefits of Western society. It's infuriating that Western countries so stupidly roll out the red carpet for these criminals. Thanks to the self-loathing loony left amongst us. The ones who happily and eagerly support and protect parasites such as Bakri.
Here in Australia we've already had a swimming pool in rural Victoria (it figures!) grovel to Muslim women, with separate times for them to swim. I'm waiting with bated breathe for some other idiotic community (probably in Victoria) give a beach or two up for this nonsense. Heck, why stop there? Why not whole towns or suburbs for Muslims only? But the way the UK is going, it looks like that will happen there first. They've got the numbers unfortunately. As well as the dhimmi politicians so eager to grovel to ethnics.

Message to UK Muslims:
If popular British culture offends you, what the hell are you doing living in the UK? What are you, a bunch of masochistic idiots? Pack up your stuff and move someplace where you won't find your precious sensibilities under constant assault. It's not the British who have to change, it's YOU, Johnny Come Lately.
If you don't like it, CARRY YOUR ASSES!

Apart from taking part in Iraq with the US, the Blair government has always been a lot of tough talk and nothing else.
Law and order in the UK is a joke, and a literal one. Some 40% of adolescants have a criminal record ie, those who were unfortunate enough to be caught. As for pandering to the muslim community, Blair and the Labour government have no equal. At least France lays down the law to its muslims. Far from any laws on the bikini, it is the hijab in France that is under threat. It wont surprise me that in the near future, France may well make the hijab illegal in public places, as it prevents security cameras from being effective.

you know, if some-one wanted to fool the security cameras in Britain, then they could, whethere they were male or female, just wear and chador. Thieves, murderers, child molesters. Just put on a chador or burka and you can pass unnoticed in the crowd.

Voltaire:Thieves, murderers, child molesters. Just put on a chador or burka and you can pass unnoticed in the crowd.
That is my point. If Western governments want, they can use the security issue to make the wearing of the hijab or burqa illegal in piublic places, such as the street, banks, airports or any public place. It would of course be perfectly legal to wear any dress, or no dress at all, in the privacy of one's home.
I'm hoping that France will act on this. They have the muslims on the run on the hijab issue. Deportations of imams within 24 hours, are also the norm in France. Suspected terrorists can be locked for 3 years without any charges being brought. France is getting real hard core on jihadi activity. The paradox is that the more France gets tough, the more silent is the muslim community. That is not surprsing really.

I used to say that I wasn't against muslims, just Islam, but now I've changed my mind.
I AM against muslims, all muslims, even the moderate ones, even the nice ones.
It's not Al-Queda which is preventing ads from featuring bikinis, it's ordinary, nice, moderate muslims who have prevented these bikini ads from being shown. No doubt, these nice moderate muslims will one day prevent women from wearing bikinis on the beach. And so on it will go.
As far as I'm concerned, all muslims are the enemy.

Also, remember the ban on football players who play soccer, who pulled their shirts off to show their bare chests?
Posted by: Voltaire at January 26, 2005 7:46 PM
As far as I'm concerned this is cultural terrorism. Terrorism against our culture and way of life.

Voltaire:
In war, one cannot afford to distinguish between the enemy soldier and the enemy civilian. It is the folly of PC that thinks that war can be fought on a strictly PC mode.
I'm all for making the West a hostile place for islam. Certain aspects of our common heritage are not for negotiation.
1. No call to prayer from mosques, as it is an invasion of the public place, and an incitement to religious hatred
2. Burqas and hijabs are anull security measures such as video cameras. We can not allow anyone to walk around with masks. Banks do not allow people to walk in wearing masks, so why should burqas be allowed. All concealment of the face should be considered illegal on security grounds, unless there are medical grounds.
3. No special dspensation for any group on grounds of religion.
Can you think of any more?
If we do these simple and quite acceptable things, muslims will start to leave us and go back to dar al islam. They are here and stay here, because they think, that soon they will have dar al islam. Who can blame them, given the stupidity of our politicians.

I think Australians pointing the finger at the UK is a case of "the pot calling the kettle black".
Muslims in Australia hate Australia, Muslims in the UK hate the UK, Muslims in America hate America... etc. etc., and so forth, and each and every capitalist government panders to this enemy within for its vote bank. "Two cheers for democracy" as one wit once stated.
Maybe we're all PC in our own way. Maybe the solution is about as non-PC as it gets. Perhaps we are all in denial - putting our feet up in PC Cloud Cuckoo Land whilst the thieves are in the house raping the children and stealing the furniture. Perhaps, just perhaps, we need a new literal crusade, not a figurative one. Perhaps, just perhaps, we need to throw these evil parasitic villenous deceitful heathens back into the sea.
Once the West is purged, there should be no more military expeditions into Muslim lands. No more Gulf Wars, no more Somalias, no more Kosovos.
Let them murder each other to their hearts' content. Let their corrupt rulers build a thousand palaces with oil money, whilst their people die in famines or drown in tsunamis - who cares, it's not our business.
If they invade Israel, just let the Israelis nuke the bastards - who cares. They're building a huge wall in Israel and they're going to lock all the Muslims out. Hmmmmm.... a clever race these Jews.
"In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts”.. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Chadors and burkas offend BRITISH religious sensibilities - but hey, what British politician gives a damn about the Anglo Saxon majority?

Timbo:
Surprise - I agree with your post above!
Even though I've complained in the past about your anti-Americanism, I know that you are a committed anti-islamist and that you are no troll. (I know someone called you that, but hey - this is JW, we all get a little heated about our own "issues at times, due to our underlying frustration at and utter contempt for the very existence of islam in the modern world.).
We still love you, and you are VERY welcome here at JW/DW. Anti-jihadists come in all flavors, and although some of your previous comments may have left a bad taste, we know that you're not a troll. You are a valued part of this community, and I for one appreciate your input.
