While UK papers are largely given over to an irenic picture of British Muslims happily accepting the nature of society in which they live “” while even the New York Times knows that the jihadists of Al-Muhajiroun was Britain’s largest Muslim group before it went underground “” at least some letter-writers are not so cowed. Here is a letter in the Express & Star about a new mosque project (thanks to Twostellas):
The prospect of a giant Islamic mosque with a 200ft minaret towering over the centre of Dudley will not be in keeping with the character of the town, and will raise many fears that it will attract Jihad elements who oppose infidels sharing their premises.
Many will see this proposal as a sprat to catch a mackerel to further the goal of an Islamic Britain. If the project goes ahead I wonder how long it will be before we hear of “Porcelain Pig” incidents, as occurred in Leicester?
This refers to a notorious incident in which police asked a family in Leicester to remove porcelain pig figurines from its window, because of complaints of passing Muslims. This story doesn’t seem to be on the web, but it appeared in at least one British paper.
Will butchers be told not to display pork in their windows? No doubt glamour girl posters will be barred and so on.
