Muslims in turn have obligations: not simply to condemn terror, as one Labour MP put it, but to confront it."

Exactly. They have finally decided that they might be against terrorism. They have not yet declared themselves to be on the side of Britain in this war.

Non-Muslims have obligations to their Muslim fellow citizens - to strive for equal opportunities for all, to accept the mainstream version of Islam as a part of society and to reject the vile racism of the BNP and its like.

The writer gets to print an offhand attack on the BNP, but BNP doesn't get to respond?

"But Muslims in turn have obligations: not simply to condemn terror, as one Labour MP put it, but to confront it."

As long as some muslims seek to become devout, Islam will draw them into its evil.

Oh, and Allah is otherwise known as the Prince of Darkness. But don't take my word for it. Look at Islam's record of evil. The proof's in the pudding.

As my esteemed governor said, "MULTICULTURALISM IS A BUNCH OF CRAP".

I agree with him...
and now, so should the British.

This is rich:

"Mr Davis argues today that questions must be asked about how the "perverted values" of the suicide bomber were allowed to take root."

It happened the same way the Nazi terror was allowed to happen. It was rationalized away and deemed justifiable as long as it was happening to Jews "over there." And, as with Nazism, once it became justifiable for Jews, it was well on its way to becoming justifiable for everyone else.

If nothing else, maybe this will make more people in this country aware that we are headed for serious trouble here at home, and not just as it relates to radical Islam. We are rapidly becoming a divided society made up of various groups of un-assimilated segments of people. Think about it. The mass influx of foreigners(mainly illegal) are becoming a society within a society. They worship the enemies of our heroes. They look at our land as land that we stole from them. They have no intention of becoming a part of the American fabric, but instead seek to tear it apart.

And whas your first clue bud?

Was it the 170 different langues you had to deal with?
Was it the bashing of Chrisianity that had to be tollerated so every other ragamuffin swami could get equal time and destroy Christianity's influence on society?
Was it the blossoming crime that did it for you?
Was it watching the children of Britain slaughtered on it's streets?
Was it gang activity almost the exclusive domain of foreign nationals?
Was it the lack of any entry level jobs whatsoever for teens?
Was it the blossoming slums?
Was it the countless billions that foreign nationals can tap while citizens go wanting?
Perhaps it was in state tuitions for illegals while out of state citizen's children must pay full price

Well, I'd go on. Hell, the people that count will never read it. As a rule of thumb, it takes them about 25 years to figure out what the rest of us knew all along.

Par for the course...

To be more specific, it doesn't work with Muslims.

Indians, Chinese, Arab Christians all tend to assimilate well.

Yup, I lived for many years in NYC and everyone assimilated and still brought their unique culture to the party. It was great.

It is the Muslim refusal to get along that ruins it.

Islam cannot assimilate because it is evil at its core. If a muslim gives up the evil of Islam, well...they aren't muslim anymore.

Boy if he wins on this platform, and the Brits are not like the spaniards I hope, it is the beginning of the end of diversity as a major diety.

Pardon my ignorance of British politics, but what's a "shadow home secretary"?

You've got that right---the old melting pot worked much better.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
(Redirected from Shadow cabinet)
The Shadow Cabinet (also called the Opposition Front Bench) is a senior group of opposition spokespeople in the Westminster System of government who together under the leadership of the Leader of the Opposition (or the leader of other smaller opposition parties) form an alternative cabinet to the government's, whose members shadow or mark each individual member of the government. Members of a shadow cabinet are often but not always appointed to a Cabinet post if and when their party gets into government. It is the Shadow Cabinet's responsibility to pass criticism on the current government and its respective legislation, as well as deciding where amendments to the legislation are necessary.

In the United Kingdom and Canada the major opposition party and specifically its shadow cabinet is often called Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition. The adjective "loyal" is used because, while there are policy differences, everyone acknowledges the role of the opposition in the system. However in other countries that use the Westminster system (eg. Australia and New Zealand), the opposition is known simply as The Parliamentary Opposition.

Some parliamentary parties, notably the British Labour Party and the Australian Labor Party, elect all the members of their shadow cabinets in a partyroom ballot, with the Leader of the Opposition then allocating portfolios to the Shadow Ministers. In other parliamentary parties, the membership and composition of the Shadow Cabinet is generally determined solely by the Leader of the Opposition.
