UK government’s solution to integration problem: have Muslims swear allegiance to UK

Dec 6, 2016 12:52 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

The Casey Review on “opportunity and integration” states:

Many of Britain’s towns and cities have been transformed “out of all recognition” by mass immigration, turning parts of them into ghettoes which successive governments have ignored “for fear of being branded racist or Islamophobic”, and which are creating “escalating divisions and tensions.”

The “huge social cohesion problems” outlined in the Casey Review about Britain is a stark fact in every Western nation, and is largely ignored. Delingpole in the article below says that to be fair to Casey, “she has had a very decent stab at a very difficult job.” It is the story of “two cultures heading in opposite directions.” Unfortunately, that’s where Casey’s “decent stab” at the issue ends. Her solution is to have immigrants swear an oath of allegiance to their host country. In other words, Casey has no solution that she is willing to stick her neck out about in the public arena; nor do the commissioners of her report.

Immigration screening, deportations, and the monitoring of mosques for radicalization material may be good for a start, but then there will be a huge reaction, with charges that such measures are “Islamophobic” and blaming of the host country for provoking Muslims. It takes tough resolve to stop brute force, although that is a concept that has become unfamiliar to Westerners in their utopian quest for global love and peace.

A valid prediction of how far the Casey report will go:

It’s going to get a lot, lot worse still before any agency of government has the balls to do a single thing about it. This, after all, is why the utterly useless David Cameron commissioned that Casey Report in the first place: to give the illusion that something was being done, prior to kicking the issue into the long grass.

“DELINGPOLE: Immigrants Should Swear an Oath of Loyalty to Britain: Yeah, That’ll Work…”, by James Delingpole, Breitbart, December 5, 2016:

Many of Britain’s towns and cities have been transformed “out of all recognition” by mass immigration, turning parts of them into ghettoes which successive governments have ignored “for fear of being branded racist or Islamophobic”, and which are creating “escalating divisions and tensions”, says a government report, the Casey Review.

And what is the author Louise Casey’s proposed solution?

Why, that immigrants should be required to swear an oath of allegiance to their host country.

Yeah, that’ll really make a difference.

To be fair to Casey, she has had a very decent stab at a very difficult job. Though she doesn’t actually use the word “ghettoes”, her report is perfectly clear on the huge social cohesion problems in Britain – mainly caused by the accumulation in monocultural “pockets” of people following one religion in particular…

For example:

There are parts of Blackburn, Birmingham, Burnley and Bradford where the population is between 70% and 85% Muslim.

In January 2015, there were 511 schools across 43 local authority areas with 50% or more pupils from Pakistani and Bangladeshi ethnic backgrounds.

Economic inactivity levels remain unusually high among women from Pakistani and Bangladeshi ethnic groups – 57.2% are inactive in the labour market compared with 25.2% of White women and 38.5% of all ethnic minority women.

In some of these ghettoes, Muslims are so isolated from the broader society that they believe Britain is actually an Islamic country where 75 per cent of the population follows Islam.

The correct figure is 4.8 per cent – and growing fast.

In 2001 the Muslim population in Britain was 1.6 million. By 2011, it had nearly doubled to 2.8 million.

None of this would necessarily matter if this growing religious minority population showed any inclination to adhere with the values of the broader host society. But according to Casey’s report, what we actually have is two cultures heading in opposite directions.

As a nation, we are getting older, more secular and more open about our sexuality, while the growing ethnic minority population is younger and more likely to identify as religious (particularly among Pakistani and Bangladeshi ethnic groups).

This isn’t helped, she notes, by the fact that we effectively have two parallel legal systems operating in Britain: one English Common Law which applies to everyone, the other the shadowy Sharia courts which lay down the law on civil issues in Muslim areas and mean that Muslim women, especially, end up being treated as second class citizens.

However, we heard about discriminatory practices against women which, in some cases, are causing serious harm. Some women’s rights groups have accused Sharia Councils and other parallel legal systems of denying vulnerable women and children access to equality and human rights. There have been claims that some Sharia Councils have been supporting the values of extremists, condoning wife-beating, ignoring marital rape and allowing The overriding principle is that these rules, practices and bodies must operate within the laws of the UK. Some women’s rights groups have accused Sharia Councils and other parallel legal systems of denying vulnerable women and children access to equality and human rights. 133 forced marriage. It has also been claimed that their influence is growing.

So, short of ducking the “ghetto” word, Casey’s report could hardly have been clearer about the nature and scale of the problem.

Her difficulty is that she is operating in a climate of such rampant political correctness that no one in any position of authority really wants to deal with the issues her report raises. Or even to admit – except in the vaguest, most mealy-mouthed way – that these problems actually exist.

Nowhere is this climate of denial better illustrated by the BBC’s treatment of the report on Radio 4’s Today programme this morning.

Sure Louise Casey was allowed on to have her say and – having first dutifully mouthed the usual pieties about what a jolly good thing immigration had been for Britain – she proved really quite robust on issues like the veil, which she said she believed shouldn’t be worn, by policewomen, midwives, and suchlike: “I want to see their faces. Most of us do.”

But the BBC, in true BBC style, insisted on preceding the interview with a report by journalist Sima Kotecha, who visited the Muslim ghetto of Oldham to demonstrate just how wrong and offensive Casey’s report actually is.

One woman she interviewed was said to be “angry at the suggestion that Muslim men are misogynists”. The woman said with a giggle: “I’m married myself. My husband does not control me.” [Phew! So that’s that canard laid to rest, eh listeners?]

Kotecha went on: “Some have labelled the findings ignorant, racist, and ridiculous.”………..

    Muslims are not bound by oathes to non-believers. Just more useful idiots in government. Give the legislation real teeth or it will end up in Islam’s Non-believer Joke Book.

      Has the UK government not heard of taqija (?) or do they believe that nobody could be so base as to swear an oath of allegiance tongue in cheek? Islam, to them, comes before any national allegiance. They’re here to live on benefits, being paid by the wretched infidel to all good muslims – mahommet told them that!

      The swearing loyalty to anything by these pigs, is a total waste of time, and only fooling the British if they believe this is the answer… Here is your answer UK, throw the pigs out, keep them out, and reclaim your beautiful country, or you will have no where to run. Except if Trump lets you LEGALLY immigrate to the USA!

    Have they never heard of Taqiyya?
    Then there is Hudna.
    The government is either incredibly naïve or just plain ignorant.
    They will find out when the UK capitulates to Islam and all the Christians will be slaughtered and the Jews have made Aliyah.

    An Oath of Allegiance?
    Somebody tell Louise Casey about taqiyya.
    Faisal Shahzad from Pakistan took the Oath of Allegiance to the USA.
    He went on to plant the Times Square car bomb.
    “I sweared”, he told the judge, “but I did not mean it”,

    • dumbledoresarmy says

      Yep. Exactly.

      British jihadwatchers could look up all the details of that case, and his exact words on that subject as recorded during the trial.

      And then cite those very words, suitably referenced, in letters to Louise Casey, and to their MPs, and to government ministers responsible for the portfolios to do with immigration and citizenship.

      Point out that the much more stringent US requirements for those gaining citizenship – which include an oath of allegiance – have not prevented Muslims from 1/ swearing the oath (with mental reservations) and then 2/ going right ahead to plot and/ or attempt or in fact carry out murder and mayhem against US infidel citizens. Case in point: the Muslim soldier, in the US army, who carried out the Fort Hood massacre.

    A deceitful lawyer (excuse the semi-redundancy) could argue that a Muzzie who took the oath and broke it by any reasonable man standard really meant that he was pledging allegiance to a UK that will eventually, should eventually, be part of the dar-al-Islam and thus was sincere when taking the oath and should not be prosecuted. Put a bleeding-heart liberal judge into this “mix” and, voila, the Muzzie could very well get off completely. Let’s face it, stranger things with Muzzies in a Western court of law have happened, including the excusing of marriage to a child or exculpation of the rape of a child, so what would be the big deal with merely an oath?

  5. Allan says

    Dec 6, 2016 at 1:44 pm

    We can learn nothing substantial from the claim that “There are parts of Blackburn, Birmingham, Burnley and Bradford where the population is between 70% and 85% Muslim.” It could be that the “pockets” are gerrymanders drawn around a few parcels of land where only a handful of households reside. Still, if we admit that there is a serious Islamotheocracy problem in Britannia, we should next ask ‘where are the adults?’ and ‘where are the men?’. Men would not let PC blowhards, or their police officers, to stand in their way for long.

    Well, it has been obvious since the summer of 1945 that Britannia is, by and large, a land of sheep and degenerates. There was, for a time, a small reversal of the long-term trend, and so Thatcher was brought to power. But the dominant theme remains: Britain produces few adults. Meanwhile, Britain’s “men” busy theirselves with their usual important hobbies, e.g. sport, getting drunk, fantasizing about their next BJ, and, of course, “social justice” activism. In short, most of Britain’s males are little boys who are unlikely ever to grow up.

    Lest I be accused of offering only destructive criticism, let me recommend the following advice to Britain’s few women: Go to the pub, identify a few of the usual tipsy suspects, and administer to each one a loving stroke to the groin. Extra points go to each woman who kicks a male police officer similarly upon his showing up to save the little boys from further humiliation.

          Very, very unhelpful in its ignorance, bile and stupidity shown by unsubstantiated accusations that may apply to some British men but not to me or any I know personally.

          Kick a police officer in the groin in Britan and you will likely be tasered, arrested, charged, successfully prosecuted and imprisoned. Do that in the USA and you will very likely be shot and killed.

          Maybe violence is Allan’s solution to any problem or perhaps only when drunk which appears to have been his state when he typed that post.

    1)It needs to be clearly written in the constitution of each western country (and USA) that they are for all time to be considered ‘Christian’.
    2) Burkas must be banned from everywhere outside the home.
    3) Every mosque and every place where muslim prayers are made, there needs to be a daily prayer of allegiance to the host country at the middle of the service. Rather like the Jewish prayer to keep safe and well the HM The Queen and Royal Family and the Government have the wisdom to rule with dignity etc. (There is a similar daily prayer in US synagogues to Keep the President safe and wise etc).
    4) Mosques/ and all their congregation that fail to recite the prayer will be closed with immediate effect.
    5) This prayer to apply to all madrassa and places of islamic learning.
    6) There is nothing ‘devine’ about eating halal food (do not confuse with Kosher which is OK) and all halal slaughterhouses to be scrapped immediately.
    7) No none muslim can be sacked or even didciplined for serving a muslim non halal food.
    8) muslim ‘festivals’ to be ignored by schools and muslim children must attend school on those days as normal.
    9) all muslims to be barred from a) voting and b) employment within Government (national as well as local ) and the military.
    10) The muslim community must be made to pay and fund the cost of muslim prisoners held in prison (about a third to a half of the entire prison community is muslim which shows a disregard for the laws of the Host country) . Clerics / imams to be barred from prisons and military establishments. The muslim prisoners may have access to Rabbis and Priests who are able to dispense whatever is necessary.
    11) The muslim community to pay and fund all additional policing costs as well as synagogue security costs.
    12) Total ban on sharia courts / tribunals.
    13) Muslims only allowed one wife and one child per family. Additional children to be adopted out if not inbred.
    14) No child/ sex marriages and a muslim having sex with a child abroad to be imprisoned and deported on release.
    15) All muslims that are to be deported with all the (immediate or extended)family.
    16) No firearms poisons drugs or explosives to be held by muslims.

    The above are intended to be temporary and can be reviewed again after 50 years (no less). Some rules can be relaxed only if there are NO incidents whatsoever within those 50 years. The rules start again on the occurrence of any incident.

    Respect for muslims is no longer an automatic right. Respect must be earned by muslims.

    That would be a start.

    ” Britain’s towns and cities have been transformed “out of all recognition” by mass immigration”

    That’s called cultural genocide by the UN’s own definition. The vermin EU politicians who did it to benefit themselves through creating these vote farm schemes must be put on trial for state crimes and, if found guilty, pay with their lives.

    What you have to understand is that the ruling class of Britain never really changes whichever party is in power as they all or mostly are ex-public school educated (which means private school educated in USA) and Oxford or Cambridge university educated with colonialist and exploitative mentalities.
    They are only concerned with maintaining the wealth and status of their class so don’t care where they get the cheap labor from. That is why they allowed from the 1950’s millions of West Indians, Indians,Pakistanis,Africans and others who would bow down to their great God of Economic Growth so beloved of organisations such as the CBI. Royalty also like to rule over many races and cultures like they did when Britain actually had an Empire
    The thought of asking permission of the indigenous people to utterly change their cities and cultures with hoards of incompatible cultures and religions didn’t occur to them as they knew what the answer would be.Cameron made a mistake and promised a referendum with the result he should have but didn’t expect.The radicalization of Islam has put a more sinister twist on what has become a divided society which has never integrated and never will. Before they only had the rebellious Irish who only wanted to unite their own country.Now we have rebellious Islam which wants to take over Britain and have exploited the deluded notion of a multicultural society with what amounts to an open door policy.Other countries like France,Germany and Sweden have fallen for the same delusion and are already paying the price.2017 is the last chance for these countries to roll back this tide democratically and peacefully.If they don’t then I fear for the future of our children and grandchildren !

      Yes. It seems that American and British elites subject the citizens to dangers that the elites guard themselves from. They do this by elite educations, high income housing patterns and jobs where they willl never come into contact with dangerous elements. They never ask the citizens what we want in terms of immigration. I say do not let anyone in your country that belives in Sharia. Question. To what degree have West Indians intergrated into British life?

    I’ve said this before and I will say it again, the Queen should have spoken out about this long ago. And I don’t need a lecture on the role of the monarch in the British constitutional system. Any office which can’t put itself on the line when the fate of its nation is at stake is an office that needs to be abolished. And I say this as an American who has been a long-time admirer of the British monarchy. No longer.

    UK government’s solution to integration problem: have Muslims swear allegiance to UK
    ………………………….

    At least this is an acknowledgement of the problem–that’s something.

    But the United States already has an oath of allegiance as part of her swearing-in for citizenship.

    Pakistani-born Faisal Shahzad attempted to bomb Times Square in 2010.

    When he was asked by the judge, “Didn’t you swear allegiance to this country?” Shahzad, a naturalized U.S. citizen, replied, “I sweared, but I didn’t mean it”.

    I fear the UK is apt to see a great deal of this…

  12. davej says

    Dec 6, 2016 at 4:59 pm

    Picture = Goblins in the streets. Spooky, I thought Halloween was over?

    Swearing an oath would be better than not but I wouldn’t depend on it at all. We are dealing with people who are taught the official six forms of deception right out of their “holy book”.

    Just check the box that says “not compatible with freedom and democracy” and send them back.

    Dec 7, 2016 at 3:27 am

    I’m guessing the UK government is ignoring the Islamic concept of taqiyya (Koran 3:28 and 16:106) which allows Muslims to lie when dealing with non-Muslims.
