In less than one generation the Monarchy will be replaced with an Imam.

The UK is done and they did it to themselves.

Britain is a modern, multicultural, multifaith society

There will be a reaction with young people moving toward religion again, likely Islam.

Oxford University Press has removed words like "aisle", "bishop", "chapel", "empire" and "monarch" from its Junior Dictionary and replaced them with words like "blog", "broadband" and "celebrity".

Dumb 'em down.

Let's go all Ann Coulter on them. Invade, kill their leaders, convert them to Christianity.

It's where they all *started* anyway.

Read my tagline.

and replaced them with Islamic words like "allah", "sharia law", "honor killing", "salah", and "caliphate."

“”aisle”, “bishop”, “chapel”, “empire” and “monarch””

Uh don’t those words still exist? So this must be part of and effort to cleanse the language of these evil words.

But academics and head teachers said that the changes to the 10,000 word Junior Dictionary could mean that children lose touch with Britain's heritage.

Of course, the distinguished educators will not do the one thing that would really get the attention of Oxford University Press:

Not purchase the book and strike it from the list of books required for use in public and private schools.

An analysis of the word choices made by the dictionary lexicographers has revealed that entries from "abbey" to "willow" have been axed

What does Junior Oxford have against science geek girls?

Modern Britain doesn’t have any aisles?

Where do people walk?

Do they just climb over the seats?

And they don’t have Bishops either?

What have you done? THOUSANDS of years of building and rebuilding, creating and recreating so that you can let it crumble to dust! A million years, the sensitive men dying for their dreams, for WHAT? So you can... swim, and... dance and... PLAY!?
