Robert Spencer in FrontPage Mag: Arresting Churchill

May 2, 2014 11:28 am By Robert Spencer

Weston arrested2In FrontPage today I explore Britain’s sterling work in cleansing the Sceptered Isle of hatemongering and Islamophobia:

Paul Weston, the chairman of a new political party in the United Kingdom called Liberty GB, was making a speech Saturday outside the Winchester Guildhall in Hampshire when suddenly everything went wrong. Weston made the mistake of quoting a notorious Islamophobe, whereupon a woman in the audience, disgusted by this hate speech, contacted police, and Weston was duly arrested.

The Islamophobe in question was an obscure British politician of the distant past named Winston Churchill, who apparently had something to do with leading the British to victory over something called Nazi Germany in a conflict apparently known as “World War II.” However, the Nazis were vociferous critics of Zionism, and thus couldn’t have been all bad.

Even before he interfered with this righteous anti-Zionist activism, Churchill was an obvious hatemonger. In 1899 he wrote a book about an even more obscure war known as The River War, in which he spewed this Islamophobic hate:

How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property – either as a child, a wife, or a concubine – must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the faith: all know how to die but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith.

It is stunning that such a racist, bigoted Islamophobe could ever have risen to prominence in a gloriously multicultural land such as Britain, but Churchill apparently rose to prominence at a time when racists and bigots roamed free and unchallenged, before Britain discovered the glories of diversity. Now hatemongers like Weston – who quoted this exact passage – get their comeuppance swiftly. Churchill, were he walking around free today, if he didn’t already have enough citations for puffing away on smelly and carcinogenic cigars in public places to put him away for life, would certainly be cited for his Islamophobia, and his public career would be ruined.

For now we live in different times. Now we know that diversity is our strength, and therefore we applaud the recent decision of the Subway fast food restaurant chain. The  Daily Mail reported on Wednesday that “around 200 branches of Subway have cut ham and bacon from their menus, serving halal meat in response to calls from their Muslim customers.”

In the caption on a photo accompanying this article, the Daily Mail wrote: “Nearly 200 Subway branches across the UK and Ireland have cut out ham and bacon, selling only halal meat, in response to demand from their multicultural customers.” By their “multicultural customers,” of course, they mean only customers from Islamic cultures, but those are the only cultures that matter anymore in the United Kingdom. Some people may carp and complain, pointing out that this decision has rendered these 200 Subway restaurants less multicultural than they were before, since now non-Muslims in Britain who would like to enjoy a Chicken and Bacon Ranch Melt or an Italian sub with pepperoni are out of luck: Muslims and Sharia-compliant dhimmis are the only ones who will be served.

But people who would raise such an objection are as hidebound and deeply racist as Weston and this Churchill fellow. It is diversity, you see, to offer the choices preferred by only one group. It is multiculturalism, you see, to respect the preferences of only one culture. It is hate, you see, to point out that The Belief System To Which Everyone Must Pander has been the cause of and justification for the oppression and misery of untold numbers of women, non-Muslims, and others. It is bigotry, you see, to point out that all too many adherents of that hallowed and protected Belief System hold to a violent and supremacist ideology that they believe gives them a responsibility before God to wage war against and subjugate those who hold different beliefs.

And so it is good that Paul Weston was arrested for quoting that hateful Churchill chap. I’ve just checked Wikipedia and discovered that Churchill succeeded one Neville Chamberlain as Prime Minister of Great Britain in 1940, after Chamberlain had tried to keep the peace with those lovely anti-Zionist Nazis by giving them Czechoslovakia, which Chamberlain aptly dismissed as “a far-away country” filled with “people of whom we know nothing.” Chamberlain should have remained in power, and Churchill subjected to the ridicule and abuse that all hatemongering Islamophobes should receive regularly. After all, who really did care about Czechoslovakia? And who cares today about Subway restaurants? As long as we stop the hate, all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well. As long as we give Islamic supremacists what they want, they will see our good will, and not demand anything more.

After all, wasn’t everything just fine after Chamberlain gave his Czech gift to the Nazis? At least until that Churchill came along.

    You don´t get Jews whining about pigs head and pork products in shop windows. You don´t get Hindus and Sikhs whining about beef and beef products in shop windows.
    The only whining being done is by the Muslims, because its all about control.
    The prime directive of Islam is to force Islam and Islamic values on every country they invade, currently under the guise of “immigration”

    Robert Spencer accurately analyses the consequences of the continuing mass immigration from Islamic countries, and the rapid Islamization of Britain.
    The extent of non-Muslim compliance to Islamic demands in a society where Muslims comprise about 5% of the population is alarming; and it will worsen as Britain’s political class continues to condone the implementation of aspects of Sharia law, and turns a blind-eye to Islamic jihadists’ activities in British society.

    Now we understand why Obama returned the Churchill bust. He hates the Islamophobic Briton.

    It’s really painful and depressing to watch the once mighty Great Britain that was the world’s greatest power, now slowly self destruct as she shamefully cowers before degenerate Muslim savages.

    The British as a whole will either say enough is enough and begin to take back control of their country or Britain will become increasingly Islamicized, courtesy of Muslims and clueless (argubaly even traitorous) British elites. The fate of freedom in Britain lies with this stark choice.

    • Boston Tea Party says

      May 2, 2014 at 5:21 pm

      I think “traitorous” is not too strong a term. I don’t hold that all supporters of multiculturalism were of this same mindset, but certainly some knew exactly what they were doing and why they were doing it.

      I’ve downloaded and made copies of the following article, because it would not surprise me if it’s removed at some point. I think it’s hugely important, and is a real “smoking gun” that confirms what most of us here already knew:

      http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/6418456/Labour-wanted-mass-immigration-to-make-UK-more-multicultural-says-former-adviser.html

      • Wellington says

        May 2, 2014 at 7:27 pm

        Thanks, BTP, for that link to The Telegraph article, though, as you said, so many of us who post here regularly know about this all too well.

        Arguably the most despicable action of our times by politcial elites in the West has been the effort (largely successful) by left-leaning political parties in one Western nation after another to faciliate mass immigration as a way of making immigrants future voters for leftist parties, even to the extent of making conservative parties (or what’s left of them since so many conservatives have no guts to stand up against what is wrong) permanent minority parties. A slow suicide for the West this is if nothing is done to correct this massive and exceedingly stupid wrong.

        Respecting the UK in particular, I increasingly look upon Tony Blair, who presided for a decade over the UK while mass immigration occurred in his country, as, at best, the fool of fools. At worst, something far worse than this.

      • fiwi says

        May 3, 2014 at 2:37 pm

        Yeah Boston that story was put out here last year and Labour was roundly thrashed in local elections, losing tons of seats for it. Quite rightly, That said, I agree that traitor is too strong. Clueless leftist ideology and a snide immature need to annoy your political opponents caused the ‘muslim issue’ in Britain today.

        But at least some in power then are finally speaking out now about the real problem with islam ( that they brought to our doorstep, and now can’t control) – and naturally are getting slaughtered for it – whilst the cowards in power twiddle their thumbs and try to ‘think’ their way out of a very real genocidal threat to their country.

        Unfortunately this is happening in ALL WESTERN countries now. We all face the same threat and have all been infiltrated in the same way. It seems worse in Britain due to exceptionally clueless decisions by those in power again – who else- to house all of these ‘ignorant’ masses in ghettos, so that entire areas have become colonised. Whereas the states and Canada and Australia tend not to do that as they are not as socialist based. The original immigrants of the first wave, tended to be professionals who didnt have a ‘bent’ against the west. But from the 2nd generation on it got dumber and dumber, nastier and nastier with a huge sense of entitlement along with their ‘superior mentality’. and desire to bring ever more same minded people with them.

    “However, the Nazis were vociferous critics of Zionism, and thus couldn’t have been all bad.”

    Actually, the relationship between the Nazis and the Jewish homeland were more complex. Germany supported the immigration of its Jews to Palestine, as it was a way to cause friction between the British and the Arabs. The Germans even supported secret Zionist training camps in Germany for German Jews who wished to immigrate to Palestine. The Zionists are still a bit uncomfortable about their collaboration with the Germans on this one issue, during this time period.

    It’s kind of beyond the point anyway. The real issue is absolute freedom of speech. Despite the apathy and ignorance of the majority of people, and the partisan refusal of mainstream media to express unpopular information, the left and the Muslims are still terrified by any free discussion of issues. People with no intellectual foundation are understandably anxious to ban any speech which makes them uncomfortable. They go by feelings, rather than by intellect, and habitually take the shortcut of censorship, rather than actual research, to defend their feelings from being hurt.

    As far as Subway serving only halal meat, I think I might overlook their elimination of pork products, as I am a heavy customer of their fowl (chicken and turkey) sandwiches. But, I think any place that served only halal meat would naturally repel me, as I would picture the cruelty with which the animals were slaughtered.

      Thanks for the link to Subway’s customer comments.

      I won’t use it at this time for the following reason. I am a VERY frequent customer at Subway, but in the US. Subway is a business, and as such, driven by a business model of profit and loss. The UK branch will care very little about my comments, as it will affect their business not at all.

      If the US branch ever considers such a more, to serve halal meat, I’ll definitely make my objection. I will not only object, but will, with genuine regret, stop frequenting Subway shops, as I have no intention of regularly supporting the halal butchery of animals. Subway claims that it won’t use meat produced by non-stunned animals. But, the terms are self-contradictory. Halal requires that the animal be conscious when killed.

    This week the kidnap-forced “marriage”-slavery of hundreds of teenage girls in Nigeria is in the news, with the slavery of women being an abomination specifically described in the Churchill quote. Yet, somebody in Winchester called the police on Paul Weston. Amazing. Yet again, that caller probably won’t see the connection if his daughter disappears off the street in Britain.

    • Mirren10 says

      May 3, 2014 at 10:36 am

      ” Yet, somebody in Winchester called the police on Paul Weston. Amazing. Yet again, that caller probably won’t see the connection if his daughter disappears off the street in Britain.”

      I understand the caller was, in fact, a woman. Doubtless one of the useful idiot, multiculti brigade, for whom perceived ‘racism’ trumps truth.

      If she has a daughter, I’m quite sure she would **not** see any connection whatsoever, if her putative daughter fell a victim to a mohammedan grooming paedophile ring. I am sure her ‘reasoning’ would be that the behaviour of the paedophile ring was bad, (possibly) but white paedophiles are just as bad, if not more so, and it has nothing to do with religion and, you are being a racist, a bigot, you fascist neo-Nazi, and blah, blah, blah, etc. etc etc.

      In fact, it wouldn’t surprise me one bit to find one of these morally compromised airheads actually excusing such crimes on the basis of ”it’s their culture”.

      I remember when I was a working teacher, having one of those so-called ‘boy’ soldiers from the Congo foisted on to me, in my Year 11 exam class. He looked to me to be at least in his twenties. He was foul mouthed, viciously misogynistic, and determinedly rude and arrogant, and sexually suggestive, towards the girls in the class.

      I sent him out of the class, to the Head of Year. When I spoke to her, she started with all that multiculti crap about it being his ‘culture’ etc, and I should be sympathetic to the horrible experiences he had endured.

      I merely replied that if his ‘culture’ demanded he should be rude, insulting, and sexually suggestive to the girls in the class, then it was disgusting, and I would not tolerate having my students subjected to such crap.

      I also said, if he had indeed endured ‘horrible experiences’, and this was responsible for his behaviour, he should be in a psychiatric facility, rather than in mainstream schooling, where he was making everyone else’s lives miserable.

      Either way, I refused to have him back in my class, and he never came back.

          Thanks, graven. But it has been my experience, that very, very often, these multiculti/moral cretins will back down when faced with uncompromising and determined opposition.

      You are far too harsh in criticising the Muslim kidnappers of the Nigerian girls. The media reports that many were sold to Islamic fighters for the equivalent of about US$13. That is more than a fair price in that market. And I am sure that if there is a complaint, each girl will get a fair hearing before a Sharia court, of course assuming the Muslim “judge” hearing the case can read and write. So please, let’s stop all the hyperbole and exaggeration against Islam.

    I am in the UK and have told family and friends about the Robert Preston arrest and the changes made by some of the Subway outlets. I only relayed the facts and I have been labeled a racist. A few months ago an American friend told a story of being threatened by Islamic extremists in Indonesia and he too was shunned and described as a racist. What is happening? How has the world become so blind?
