Britons favor tracking Muslim activities
The Washington Times ^ | 7/13/05 | By Seth Rosen and Al Webb

Posted on 07/13/2005 12:22:14 PM PDT by Man50D

Famously tolerant Britons overwhelmingly support tough new measures to monitor Muslim immigration and activities inside the country in the wake of last week's terrorist bombings in London, polls show. That mood is likely to give new impetus to legislation being considered that would make it harder for foreign imams to come to Britain and preach religious hatred from its mosques.

Could this be the start of profiling? We should profile in this country.

Putting limited resources where they are needed? What a concept!

That is exactly what should be done! There is nothing wrong with profiling, if you have nothing to hide. Nevermind that truth.

Go Brits!

There is nothing wrong with profiling in the sense of examining which country people come from. Muslim countries are producing most of the terrorists in the world so this is a natural step. The US already does something similar.

One problem we have is what do we do about people with British passports. If GB is gonna let in people without sufficient safeguards we can't keep treating people with British passports as "safe."

"Britons favor tracking Muslim activities"

This is a very good indication that they hope to survive the Muslim invasion. Let's hope that it's not too late.

We've got 3000 deaths while the Brits have much less of a body count. Yet they have the wisdom and guts to know what needs to be done.

We don't.

Hey, doesn't that make them DIVISIVE???? AS opposed to "DIVERSE"* like all the leftists claim to be?

*(oddly enough, "DIVERSE" has the same root word as "DIVISIVE"..."DIV"...to "divide)

Indeed. The Brits are waking up and possibly about to take the first step toward sanity. I hope they take that step.

For Brits, it's a start. Removing the threat altogether would be more appropriate.

Ah yes, once again, the veracity of the old expression:

Hey Czar!

The Brits have the wisdom, but they must overcome a group of Liberal apologists to bring it off. Most British liberals don't really know how serious the situation is in Britain because of the Muslim organizations they have in the UK. For decades British Muslims have been conducting Sharia schools which indoctrinate Muslim youth into violence.

Here is an article which forcasts what Britain may be like 100 years from now. The article is about Egypt, but the Muslims in Britain are the same as they are in Egypt, just not as developed yet.Islam is not a religion , it is a Nation. It is time the British government started treating it as such and demand that Muslims be true British Nationals or simply ship back out to their lands of ancestral origins. "Peaceful Muslim" is actually an oxymoron of the 3rd kind. Belive it not and you or your children are dead.

Article:

http://www.amcoptic.com/press/press_aca/a_press_release_aca_washington_post.htm


The Egyptian Court to the Muslims: You can kill the Egyptian Christians (Copts) with impunity. There was no punishment for any Muslims who murdered Christians in cold blood.


An urgent appeal to the United Nations to protect the Copts in Egypt.


"The trouble began Friday, December 31, 1991, in Al-Kosheh, an Upper Egyptian village, 275 miles south of Cairo, when Fayez Awad, a Muslim vendor, tried to purchase some textile from Rashed Mansour, a Christian shop owner. A dispute between the two ensued."

This is the backdrop of the latest massacre, premeditated against the defenseless Coptic (Christian) minority of Egypt. It does not differ much from the context of previous massacres where other Christians were brutally killed in cold blood and their property were looted or burned down under the sight of the Egyptian government and local authorities.

For four consecutive days, that is until Monday January 3, 2000, Muslim villagers went into rampage terrorizing their Christian neighbors in three villages; Al-Kosheh, Dar Al-Salam, and Awlad Tog West. Egyptian security forces aloofly watched over the camage, while curfew was in place!

Once more, members of the beleaguered Coptic minority are subdued by thousands of Muslim aggressors. The toll as of now is as follows:

More than 20 Copts were shot or buried to death and more than 10 were missing and feared murdered and burnt by the Egyptian officials to minimize the number of victims. More than 70 houses, shops, and warehouses were looted and burned down. A church building was destroyed. Scores of Copts were wounded, some in serious condition.

The Criminals stopped buses and cars, and picked the Christian passengers from their Identification Cards and shot them in cold blood.

It is important to note that in August 1998, 1200 Copts of Al-Kosheh village were rounded up and tortured by the Egyptian police in an attempt to frame a Coptic suspect to cover up the murder of two Christians who were killed by Muslims.

Similar massacres and massive attacks had previously taken place in different cities and villages all over Egypt in the last three decades. Among them we only cite, as examples: Al-Khanka, Al-Zawiyah, Al-Hamras, Kaft Dernian, Imbaba, Ezbet El-Nakhel, Ain-Shama, Al-Fayioum, Benisuef Dayrout, Al-Quslyah, Abou-Qurqas, Samallout, Al-Menlyah, Qena, and Aswan.

According to the Koran: The Muslims are instructed not to befriend Jews or Christians according to the Surah 5:54 which states, " O ye who believe! Take not the Jews and Christians for your friends." Therefore the Christians in Egypt are surrounded by hatred all over the country. Children in schools are taught that the Copts are infidels who should not be trusted and are not desirable elements in a Muslim society. Also, Christian children are forced to memorize Koranic verses, which are demeaning to their faith.

In the Koran, Allah orders Muslims to terrorize non-Muslims on His behalf. According to the Koran, "I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbeliever, smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger tips off them. It is not ye who slew them; it was God" (Surah 8:13-17). Consequently, the Muslim fundamentalists murder Christians with impunity with the collaboration of the Egyptian security forces. As long as it is God who is responsible for murdering Christian, all the Muslims who have murdered Christians have been diagnosed as mentally disturbed by the government and set free. Since 1971 no one who murdered Christians or took possessions or property owned by Christians have been brought to justice. In Egypt both Copts and policemen have been murdered by the Muslim fundamentalists. However, the Copts have been murdered for their faith. In addition, Christian girls are regularly kidnapped and raped by Muslim fundamentalists, with the collaboration of the Egyptian security officials. They are forced to be concubines or prostitutes. The Koran says that God may forgive a person who forces his slave girl into prostitution (Surah 24:33). A prominent Islamic leader, Sheikh Mohamed El-Sharawii, who was awared the highest medal in Egypt by President Mubarak stated that a non-Muslim female should be honored if she is raped by a Muslim man.

There is no apostasy principal in Islam. According to Surah 3:85 "If anyone desires a religion other than Islam, never it will be accepted of him." On May 28, 1972 the Supreme Court of Alexandria in Egypt decided that Sherrin Saleh who converted to Christianity and married a Christian man was legally dead! Therefore, the Muslims who convert to Christianity are imprisoned and tortured on the ground that they create sedition and disorder. Islam is a nationality and anyone denounces Islam is considered as a traitor to the Nation of Islam. The Muslims talk about the Islamic Nation and not Islamic nations.

Therefore, the judgement on February 5, 2001, was based on the Islamic principles of killing non-Muslims with impunity. All the Muslims who murdered the 21 Copts in the town of Kosheh last January were released.

The Copts are living in fear of being murdered or property destroyed their daughters being kidnapped, and being humiliated in their workplace and public places. They are surrounded by hatred from their Muslim citizens. Their situation is similar to that of the Jews during the Nazi domination in Europe before sending them to the gas chambers or the Armenians before they were massacred in Turkey in 1915.


WORLD, PLEASE WAKE UP: The Copts of Egypt, the largest Christian minority in the Middle East, have been subjected to a cruel, though subtle, campaign of the ethnic cleansing for the last thirty years. Hundreds of thousand of Coptic villagers have been forced to flee out of their homes and land due to such attacks, money extortion or abject poverty. In addition, more than one million Copts have migrated from their homeland. Perpetrators of these grave violations of criminatory policies or its inaction.

As the reoccurrence of such atrocities and discriminatory policies of the Egyptian regime against the Coptic are diehard, it now becomes the responsibility of the international human community to bear its moral and legal responsibility towards the Copts in Egypt. The world must now remain indifferent until another genocide is complete.

The American Coptic Association requests that the United Nations investigates such violations, and the United States of America to withhold any assistance to Egypt until it respects the human rights of the Copts.
