copy of a letter to my MP:-

Dear Roberta Blackman-Woods,

I write in connection with the reported voting fraud in Tower Hamlets, and would wish to address several questions to the Home Secretary

•        Why have all enquiries known about so far resulted in no prosecutions whatsoever in the field of electoral fraud or ‘personation’?
•        Why have the police not instituted, despite documented evidence, enquiries leading to prosecutions in this matter?
•        Why have polling stations in the Tower Hamlets area not been freed of voter intimidation as alleged on the blogsite; as well as the arrest of any person deemed to be harassing a prospective female voter on the grounds of ‘not being modestly dressed’?
•        May I also enquire, through your office as my M.P., why the Electoral Commission has not been directed by the Home Office to institute a thorough and all-encompassing enquiry into the allegations of fraud within the Tower Hamlets area?
•        Finally, will you ask the Home Secretary if any Police actions or investigations have been curtailed because of ‘cultural awareness’?.

If such questions can be asked within the House of Commons, or alternatively by written questions, I, as well as many, many others, would agree that true democracy is being served!

Yours sincerely,

Mike Cunningham

Well, one out of five, even at a distance, isn’t too bad!

Another excellent article here by Mark Steyn drawn to my attention

In Wales as in much of the Western world, we are in the midst of an unprecedented sociocultural experiment. Its precise end point cannot be known, but on the Continent its contours are beginning to emerge: In Amsterdam, formerly “the most tolerant city in Europe,” gay-bashing is now routine; “youths” busted into a fashion show, pulled a gay model from the catwalk, and beat him to a pulp. Claire Berlinski reported for National Review two years ago that in the French suburb of La Courneuve 77 percent of veiled women say they cover themselves to “avoid the wrath of Islamic morality patrols.” In Potsdam, the Abraham Geiger Theological College advises its rabbis not to venture on the streets wearing identifying marks of their faith. In synagogues from Copenhagen to Berlin to Rome, Jews are warned to hide their yarmulkes under hats or baseball caps at the end of the service. In Paris, a man wearing no identifiably religious clothing was beaten unconscious on the Métro for being caught reading a book by France’s chief rabbi. The message is consistent, from Jews to gays to women: In the new Europe, you don’t want to be seen as the other. Keep your head down, or covered.

For a decade, I’ve been told by those who think I’m “alarmist” that there’s nothing to see here. The seven-year-old whose non-appearance at the teddy bears’ picnic goes unremarked . . . the beleaguered National Health Service reeling under the costs of genetic disorders from cousin marriage but now providing free and discreet “hymen reconstruction” for Muslim daughters who got a little over-Westernized one night . . . the infidel women going veiled to avoid trouble in les banlieues . . . the rabbis wearing baseball caps on the streets of Berlin and Brussels . . .

One reason that there’s “nothing to see” is the ever greater lengths we go to to cover it, and ourselves, up. The veil descends, on all of us.

Hat-tip to Gonk!

Academia produces a very SPECIAL kind of stupid;

A London University may become the first in the country to ban alcohol from part of its campus to attract more Muslim students, its Vice Chancellor has said.  London Metropolitan University is considering banning the sale of alcohol from some parts of the campus because a “high percentage” of students consider drinking “immoral,” Prof Malcolm Gillies said. One-fifth of the University’s students are Muslim, and of those the majority are women. It is an issue of “cultural sensitivity” to provide drink-free areas, Prof Gillies told a conference, adding he was “not a great fan of alcohol on campus”.

How about a little selective Sharia, Professor? How about providing prayer mats for those “culturally sensitive” students? Unrefined dhimmitude.

The men of ‘No Description’ strike again!

No colour, no race, no nationality, no religion; according to the BBC as well as most newspapers.

So I wonder what their RELIGION is?

Is there anybody out there who thinks that the massacre at Fort Hood by the Allahu Akhbar shouting Islamist Major Hasan was actually “workplace violence”?

Yes – President Obama.

“Barack Obama has just done something truly disgraceful! He’s declared the 2009 Fort Hood massacre — where a radical Islamic terrorist killed 13 American soldiers and wounded 29 more — “work place violence,” not a terrorist attack.  This means that these men and women are denied the military medals they are due — like the Purple Heart — for their deaths or injuries during the attack by a radicalized Muslim combatant. The way I see it, these soldiers put their lives and their bodies in harm’s way in defense of our freedom. But instead of recognizing them as heroes, Obama is treating them like they are civil service employees who just happened to be in the way when a random accident occurred!Here is a petition to sign if you think it was not work place violence.”

It’s the pathetic dhimmitude that one has come to expect from the Obama regime;

First the Pentagon hosts the 9/11 imam. Then the Marines open a mosque at Quantico. Now the Army’s letting JROTC cadets wear the hijab. What next?

In a letter to a Muslim group sent on Defense Secretary Leon Panetta’s behalf, Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army Larry Stubblefield said the Army will now let Muslims in the Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps wear the Islamic headscarf during training and parade formations.

“Based on your concerns, the Army has reviewed its JROTC uniform policy and will develop appropriate procedures to provide cadets the opportunity to request the wear of religious head dress, such as the turban and hijab,” Stubblefield wrote. “The Army prides itself in being a diverse organization, comprised of individuals from many faiths and religions. We appreciate you bringing this matter to our attention.”

The group who filed the complaint? The Council on American-Islamic Relations, the same one the Justice Department implicated in a scheme to raise millions for terrorists in America. CAIR is so shady the IRS recently revoked its nonprofit status for failing to disclose funding sources for the past three years in violation of federal law. It’s so dirty FBI Director Robert Mueller recently testified he refuses to do outreach with it.

So why are we taking policy cues from a group former Pentagon intelligence chief Lt. Gen. Jerry Boykin calls a “dangerous front” for the radical Muslim Brotherhood, which he says is trying to infiltrate and sabotage the U.S. government and military from within?

Why indeed? It strikes me that after four years of Obama, the US has become weaker, much more inclined to appease Islam. We saw it at Fortd Hood and we keep seeing it.   The image of Hijab wearing cadets should strike fear into every thinking American. It seems to inspire Obama.

Well, I am sure you will have read the horrific details of what happened in the Belgium city of Leige yesterday?

“Police in Belgium have discovered a woman’s body at the home of a gunman who went on the rampage in the city of Liege, killing four people and himself. The body was found in a shed at Nordine Amrani’s property, a justice official told Belgian radio.

Amrani launched his attack with guns and hand grenades in a busy marketplace in Liege on Tuesday, causing panic among Christmas shoppers. Nearly 125 people were wounded, some critically. Belgian media reports say the body found at the killer’s property was that of a 45 year-old cleaner, who worked for one of Amrani’s neighbours.

“It was found in a shed which he used, notably to grow cannabis,” Liege’s prosecutor general, Cedric Visart de Bocarme, told Belgian public radio, RTBF. The authorities are trying to determine what motivated Mr Amrani to go on his killing spree.

Police have said he was known to them for previous drugs and firearms offences and acted alone in the attack.  Prime Minister Elio Di Rupo said it had been “an isolated case”.

Sure. I got into bother yesterday when I pointed out that the “Belgium” who carried out this act of mass murder was in fact a Moroccan Muslim. It appears that to be point out this sort of detail is unhelpful, although I am not sure to whom?

Belgium has an Islamic problem which is why the PM instantly seeks to cloak it.

“The attack comes a day after a Belgian court sentenced four members of a Pakistani family to prison for the murder of their law student daughter and sister in the country’s first “honour killing” trial.

After pronouncing the family members guilty for the shooting death of 20-year-old Sadia Sheikh in October 2007, the jury sentenced father Tarik Mahmood Sheikh to 25 years behind bars, mother Zahida Parveen Sariya to 20 years, brother Mudusar to 15 and sister Sariya to five years, media reported.

Lawyers for the family said brother Mudusar, who confessed to pulling the trigger on the three bullets that killed his sister, was handed a lesser jail term than his parents as they were considered to have ordered the girl’s death.”

Again, it is important that we ignore this Islamic background. So goes the dhimmi chorus. If we close our eyes to this, we make it worse. Why do western liberal democracies so fear Islam?

Did you read that the  Simon Wiesenthal Center has urged Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to “immediately and unequivocally disassociate herself from comments made by U.S. Ambassador Howard Gutman (That’s him in the middle, surprisingly) who told a Jewish group that, “A distinction should be made between traditional anti-Semitism which should be condemned and Muslim hatred of Jews which stems from the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinians.”

“The Simon Wiesenthal Center calls on Secretary of State Clinton to immediately rebuke Gutman for excusing Muslim hatred of Jews,” said Rabbis Marvin Hier, Dean and Founder and Abraham Cooper, Associate Dean in a statement on behalf of the 400,000 constituent families of the leading Jewish Human Rights NGO.”America has always taken the lead in condemning hate in all its manifestations, not providing a moral free pass to extremists whose hate of Jews besmirches the Muslim religion and has spawned violent hatred against Jews across the Middle East and beyond.”

Gutman is either a fool or a knave but either way he is clearly unfit to hold such an important office. I do understand that ingratiating the US with Arab sentiment is central to Obama’s way of thinking but this man who essentially bought himself the Ambassadorship thanks to his fundraising for Obama in 2008 really does need rebuked. Will Clinton listen to SWC? I doubt it…

Ten years after 9/11, renowned philosopher Katie Couric weighs in with the big question; Isn’t it time for a USA  Little Mosque on the Prairie?

Influential American broadcaster Katie Couric has suggested a way to change attitudes to Muslims in the US. Pointing to the success in the 1980s and 90s of TV sitcom The Cosby Show in improving relations between African-Americans and whites, she argues that a Muslim version of the show may counter some Americans’ negative perceptions of the community. But just across the border, in Canada, this “Muslim Cosby Show” already exists. Little Mosque on the Prairie, made in Toronto, is recording its sixth and final series. On the set, actors and crew are getting ready to record this season’s big opening scene.

I like the way Katie thinks we need to change OUR attitudes to Muslims, not the other way round!

Here’s a video of senior Lib-Dem Simon Hughes demonstrating the sickening dhimmitude that typifies so many of the political class.
