Those that forget history are, are just doomed.

Some British schools are dropping lessons on the Holocaust and the Crusades, seeking to avoid antagonizing Muslim students.

I am certain that there may be some German students in the schools as well? Are the schools dropping lessons on WWII which mention the Blitz in order not to "antagonize" them? Why not just cede the British Isles to the Muslim fanatics now and be done with it?

[popdonnelly]

Now we have to re-write history to assuage these poor people? To Hell with political correctness, facts are facts.

The Council for the Advancement of Arab-British Understanding said it is time for England to produce a new flag and adopt a patron saint “not identified with our bloody past and one we can all identify with.”

Their suggestions:

New Flag:

New Saint (I *think* they mean the guy on the left):

New Saint (I *think* they mean the guy on the left)

"Saint Neville" who ensured that "Peace" would last for a thousand years...

"Some British schools are dropping lessons on the Holocaust and the Crusades, seeking to avoid antagonizing Muslim students."

LOL!

Anything to protect Muslim children from learning Western history and about the Joooooooooos. Political correctness run amok.

If the British school and government officials who allow this go to Austria will they be arrested for Holocaust denial?

[wjcsux]

Good f*cking grief! When will the multi-cultural insanity stop?!?

[Levante]

Soon, Western governments will start persecuting and killing jews, to keep the goddamned muslims happy.

After libs rewrite history, then they delete certain sections. Have you looked at your child’s history books lately? Good post.

[MEGoody]

So the Brits are doing to their children the same thing the Islamicists do to keep those children open to brainwashing - keep the truth from them.

Me thinks it won't be long until Europe falls to the Islamicists.

[PAUL REVERE TODAY]

“If the British school and government officials who allow this go to Austria will they be arrested for Holocaust denial?”

That is a very good question.

[Wraith]

No one really won during that long conflict. Is it not a crime to push aside history?

[hardworking]

Aw-w-w schucks, while we’re at it, let’s delete the American Revolution, the bombing of London by those nice folks the Nazis, D-Day (don’t want to offend those nice folks the Germans) and, oh yes, let’s leave out anything about the occupation of Paris....want to keep the frogs happy too, don’t you know.

[TNCMAXQ]

The surrender continues. To paraphrase what some say about President Reagan and the cold war, the bad guys can win their war by firing only a few shots. The world seems ready to cave in to them.

I wonder how the morons who make these decisions will feel when some day they are the oppressed minority. I suppose then they will say the USA and Bush didn’t do enough to protect the world from this evil!

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Do the brits think that this will guarantee that their heads will remain firmly attached to their bodies 1 millisecond longer?

[Chili Girl]

Sad - The British Empire was once such an example to the world. It seems America is not far behind either. Soon we will lose both of these great nations.
