Today, at that bastion of unbiased non-sensationalist reporting that is the UK Telegraph, there is a rather intriguing article which features claims by UK Environment Minister Jim Fitzpatrick. He says that a shadowy organization called the Islamic Forum of Europe has "infiltrated" the Labour Party and is currently "acting almost as an entryist organisation, placing people within the political parties, recruiting members to those political parties, trying to get individuals selected and elected so they can exercise political influence and power, whether it’s at local government level or national level."
Now, I don't know much about British politics and understand the domestic troubles they have with Islamic radicalism, but the stuff being spewed by right-wing bloggers in response to this piece is rather alarmist, to put it lightly.
Here is a post by the Astute Blogger, who apparently never turns off caps-lock:
THE ISLAMISTS PLAN TO TAKE OVER EUROPE WITHOUT A SHOT, WITHOUT THE SWORD.
THEY AIM TO TAKE IT OVER JUST BY DEMOGRAPHY, JUST BY TAKING OVER THE MAJOR SOCIALIST PARTIES WITHIN EACH COUNTRY OF EUROPE.
AND THEN BY TAKING OVER WHAT REMAINS OF THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENTS AND BY PULLING THE STRINGS OF THE EUSSR'S GOVERNING COMMISSION.
THIS IS NOW INEVITABLE IN BRITAIN - UNLESS THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY BECOMES ANTI-ISLAMIST, AND - FAILING THAT: IF PARTIES LIKE THE UKIP AND BNP CAN DISPLACE THE TWO MAJOR PARTIES.
FARAGE, WILDERS ARE EUROPE'S LAST BEST HOPE. THE NEXT TWO YEARS WILL BE CRITICAL.
I FEEL THAT 2012 IS THE POINT OF NO RETURN.
BEYOND THAT POINT, MORE AND MORE PRO-WEST WESTERNERS IN EUROPE WILL BEGIN TO LEAVE EN MASSE - JUST AS JEWS ARE ABANDONING SWEDEN
THEY ARE GOING TO ABANDON EUROPE AND LEAVE IT TO THE LEFTIST-ISLAMIST ALLIANCE.
ONLY THE HARDCORE BNP/VB TYPES WILL REMAIN TO LITERALLY FIGHT IT OUT ON THE STREETS.
IT WILL BE BLOODY.
IT WILL BE SORT OF LIKE "RED DAWN", ONLY IT'S RED/GREEN DAWN AS THEY WILL BE FIGHTING THE SOCIALIST-ISLAMIST ALLIANCE.
IT NEEDN'T COME TO THIS.
IF EUROPEANS DUMP THE LEFT AND ABANDON APPEASEMENT AND TAKE STRONG ACTION NOW, THEY CAN SAVE EUROPE WITHOUT BLOODSHED.
HOW WELL FARAGE AND WILDERS DO IN THE NEXT ELECTION WILL TELL US IF THIS IS POSSIBLE.
IF THEY LOSE, THEN EUROPE IS HEADED TO THE SAME PLACE BYZANTIUM WENT...
OBLIVION... DESERVEDLY SO.
First of all, Muslims make up only 3% of the UK population.
3 PERCENT!!!
How on Earth could they take over the UK even if they wanted to?
The irony of US and Western European conservatives complaining about being "colonized" by brown hoardes of moon worshippers is too much. I mean, we in the West have been colonizing, exploiting and subjugating the non-white world for a couple of centuries now. We wiped out entire civilizations and engaged in countless acts of mass murder in order to put ourselves at the top of the global totem pole. We then granted them "independence" under the condition that they subordinate their societies and economies to our interests. Those who resisted were crushed by direct military intervention and/or our local proxy forces.
IT IS WE WHO COLONIZED THEM, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
The West's projection of it's own aggressive impulses on to the Islamic world is a painful sight. The same people who cheerled the US/UK-led campaign of slaughter in Iraq are now preaching that we act "vigilante" towards Muslim communities. I suppose that we should consider ourselves lucky that the Muslims who moved to America and Western Europe have yet to attack us with white phosphorus and cluster bombs.
